The Seahawks paid a pretty penny to acquire tight end Jimmy Graham -Pro Bowl center Max Unger, crucial to their running game, as well as a first-round pick - but two weeks into the season the marriage has already become rocky.
The Seahawks are 0-2, and in their loss Sunday night to the Packers, Graham caught one pass for 11 yards and was only targeted twice by quarterback Russell Wilson. That has Graham "pissed off," according to Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman, and wondering why Seattle brought him in if they planned on having him block or be a decoy.

Freeman cited "several" Seahawks players as his sources.
Graham has caught at least 85 passes in each of the last four years, and has scored double-digit touchdowns in three of the last four; he scored nine in 2012. His 16 touchdowns in 2013 were a career-high. Graham seemed to have an inkling of what he was in for before the season, however.

"Well this team is so good, you truly don't know when you're opportunity will come. I want to take every opportunity and make a play that helps us win each and every one of these games. That's how this offense is built. It's explosive plays and they run the ball. So I want to be one of those explosive plays. Several of them, actually," Graham told Yahoo before the season started.
This week Seattle will be at home for the first time in 2015, and they'll be facing the Bears, who have the NFL's worst pass defense through the first two weeks.
