It's not that they took the three. It's the fact that even if they don't get it Seattle starts basically in their own endzone.
If the worst case scenario is pinning a run based offense at the 1/2 yard line, I think it's smart. Really early leads don't matter in a lot of cases, though.

At that point he'd thrown 3 or 4 good balls with his receiver dropping them or tipping them. Since then he's played like shit.
