Personnel report: Keys for Seattle's improvement

The Seahawks were not bad against the Bears in Week 3. They could be much better if Seneca Wallace would throw more accurately and make better decisions, and if his teammates would catch the ball more consistently. This team is not far away from beating decent teams, even with several key Seattle players sidelined by injuries.
After charting the Seahawks' offensive personnel, I filtered the play-by-play report to show Wallace's 18 incomplete passes. My notes showed five passes too high or otherwise overthrown, three drops and one interception on a horrible decision to throw the ball underhanded while scrambling deep in Seattle territory. I think Wallace is generally a better player than he showed in this game, but that case becomes harder to make if he struggles against the Colts in Week 4.
It's not all bad for Wallace. He completed 5 of 7 passes for 70 yards when the Seahawks showed I-formation from their base offense. He averaged a healthy 7.6 yards per attempt on 12 overall passes from the base offense.
