His playcalling on the last possession was...suspect.
Everybody in the stadium could see Seattle was stacking the box. As Greg Olson noted, a play-action pass was wide open for a first down, maybe a chunk play. Instead, he runs right into the teeth of a stacked box. There was no way that run was going to work but the personnel prevented an audible to a different play.
They did a play action on the very next play. Ideally you do it on 1st down instead, but he did call a pass instead of just running three times and forcing time outs by Seattle.
Running three times probably gets us OT instead, so who knows.
More than anything these games are being lost in the first half due to not getting enough points on drives that get to the opponents side of the field.
