Now we know what happens to Mike Macdonald’s defense when you subtract five starters: It becomes latter-day Pete Carroll’s defense.

Without Leonard Williams, Uchenna Nwosu, Boye Mafe, Byron Murphy and Jerome Baker, Seattle simply did not have the talent to stop Detroit’s complex and well-stocked offense Monday. The result was a rather predictable shootout win by Detroit, 42-29.

It was a memorable game, but one the Hawks and their fans are better off forgetting. Better days are ahead.

This is the correct way to view the undermanned #Seahawks' loss to the Lions, from Mike Mac: “Our guys fought the heck out of that game. They went down to the last second. … That’s a foundation that we built here that we are going to push forward with.’’

Better days ahead.
