Russell Wilson frustrated with Seahawks’ lack of postseason success

Since Russell Wilson became the starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, the franchise has become a mainstay in the playoffs.

That has seen them reach the postseason all but once in the last eight years, which their latest trip ended in the divisional round against the Green Bay Packers. In light of that, Wilson has voiced that the team needs to figure out how to get back to competing for more than a playoff berth. (H/T Curtis Crabtree of Pro Football Talk)

“The reality is that we’ve been very, very good for the past eight years or so, and to go to the playoffs seven of the eight, and to do all those things are special, special things, to go to two Super Bowls, to win one. We’ve got to capture that throughout the whole entire season going into next year. We’ve got to find ways to get better. We need to find ways to get past just the first or second round of the playoffs and get to the final push. That’s the reality.”

Wilson has been the driving force of the Seahawks, which didn’t ring louder than it has this past season as he put forth arguably his best campaign. However, the team was hampered by injuries while their defense struggled to hold their own on several occasions throughout the year.

Seattle has some promising pieces in place to continue their trend towards playoff appearances, but it may need to them acquire some more playmakers on both sides of the ball to get them over the top. With Wilson leading the charge, the Seahawks will continue to remain relevant in the NFL. The postseason, however, remains to be seen.
