    Wilson appears to have hired the same PR firm that built ARod and Hilary Clintons personalities.

    I think a change at both coordinator spots is in order

    I don't think the team is super talented anymore. A lot of the stars have regressed. Like you said, Sherman isn't the same guy and is just average now. Kam and Earl are brutally inconsistent. Wagner was absolutely terrible in week 1 and 2, also inconsistent. Bennett still has awful penalties and isn't the pass rusher he was last year. Lynch is just about done and Wilson has 7 TD passes in 6 games. That would be disappointing for Brian Hoyer.

    Paying all these guys has turned out to be a big mistake. They are soft and complacent. Maybe a down season will re-light their fire. I also ripped on Chip for cutting Mathis after he threatened to hold out, but if the Eagles go on a run and finish better than the Hooks that will turn out to be a good move. There could be a lot of fat to trim off this year.

    Went from a pack of hungry guys wanting to prove themselves ...

    To NFL playas gettin' paid.

    It happens.

    I hate the NFL.

    This town deserves a Seahawks downturn... The 12FS and the local media need to DIAFF! This shit was just posted on Facebook.

    Counting on a defense to continue to be historically good and pay them as if it was a certainty to continue to defy statistics is the real mistake here. Defense is in a lot of ways like a bullpen, it can be way worse year or way better year to year for no apprentice reason.

    The history of the league suggests the smarter long term investment is on offense as it's far more predictable.

    I don't think there is a more unlikeable person than Wilson.

    It's not the money. Seriously, it's not... it's the distractions all that money buys and all those interviews from media who want to hear about all the stories

    The LOB are all hurt and disgruntled. And Cary Williams just sucks and is a huge drop off compared to Maxwell. I don't care that Maxwell now sucks in Philly, he's better than Williams.

    Sherman didn't get surgery on his rotator cuff after last season. I think he's still hurt and it has made him go through the motions. Earl and Kam didn't play in the preseason. Both guys are probably hurt too. There are other malcontents too that were not there in past seasons. And it's not a secret that the defense hates the offense and that players genuinely believe the Seahawks threw the ball on the one so Russell Wilson could win MVP.

    It's a lost season so far. They have blown games late. The core of the team is still good. They need to jettison Bevell, get rid of his bad energy, and build the OL. They might not be the dominant team in the past, but this is still a roster that should be able to make the playoffs and have a chance to get another title.

    This is a good point. In general, blowing the Superbowl like that probably did a lot more damage than we will know (until the book comes out in 10 years). Those players worked their asses off all season only to see it come crashing down with the worst play call in sports history. They had their chance at building a legacy and the LOB would have been up there with the best defenses ever. They probably do feel contempt for the coaching staff, definitely Bevell and maybe even Carroll and that's why all the contract bitching and holdouts happened. I still can't believe Carroll brought Bevell back this season.
    In general blowing the Superbowl like that is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
