They lost to two teams who had their backs against the wall. I'm not excusing it, and I wish they could fire Bevell right now, but at the same time, they haven't lost a must win game since the Falcon game last year.
Their primetime record under Carroll says it all. The only "big" game they've lost was the Falcons game last year as their regular season losses were to terrible teams minus the 49ers on thursday night.
He's just cherry picking to make some made up point in his head.
The big SNF game ... at the start of the year ... yes ... huge ...
When they HAD to win in SF ... they lost.
When they HAD to win today ... they lost.
Next week tells the tale ... St. Louis gave them all they could handle earlier in the year ... Let's see if Neil Lomax still has some of that St. Louis magic left in him.
So to clarify, 10-1 versus 9-2 with first place in the conference on the line was not a game the 10-1 team had to win, but 11-1 versus 8-4 was a game the 11-1 team had to win?
The Seahawks under Carroll do suck in "pressure" games.
That is why they are only 3-0 on SNF, 4-0 on MNF, and 2-1 on Thursday Night Football.
That 9-1 in primetime record just proves they can't play in "pressure" games at all.
Ok ...
See you in February.
I'm sure you will think that and are too stupid to realize even if they lose by 100 points in round one that your argument was fucking stupid this whole time.
Want to bash on the Seahawks for other reasons go right ahead. Cherry picking their last two losses as "must-win" games while ignoring the MNF game between the top two teams in the conference doesn't impress me.
There is a lot of people on here who think the Seahawks will choke in the postseason and not one person agreed with your fallacy.
The Seahawks are a very good team, but winning in the playoffs is hard. The 2007 Patriots showed that no team is unbeatable, and the favorite does not win most of the time. The Seahawks probably won't win the Super Bowl. The percentages are on the other side. However, the Seahawks are considered the favorite.
You can pick apart every single team in the league, and every team also has some bad losses. Denver lost to San Diego last week, NE lost to Miami, New Orleans is 3-5 on the road, we have destroyed SF the past two times they came to Seattle, the Colts have gotten blown out multiple times this year, etc, etc. What the fuck is the point about making broad generalizations over one loss to a 10-5 team? It was a bad loss, nothing more.

I stopped listening after that. If the Hawks lose that game that puts the Saints in the drivers seat to win the #1 seed.
After that Seattle could just coast for the #1 seed which they are doing.
If anything the Rams game is the first big game far as importance on winning since the Saints game.
How is the 49ers game so big if they lost and didn't change their place in the standings or what they needed to do?
If Seattle is coasting ...
Will they rest the starters next week?
If coasting ... have they wrapped it up or could Carolina or NO still snag it.
Wash the sand out of your vag ... the Seahawks have choked twice in two of the past three games ... no reason to lose to AZ with it all on the line.
I'm looking at past NFL champions from the past few years and all of the teams that ended up winning lost games towards the end of the regular season. Baltimore lost 4 or 5, New York Giants went 9-7, Green Bay went 2-2 in their final 4, New Orleans lost their last 3, Pittsburg lost 31-14 to Tennessee in their 15th game. Teams lose in the NFL. No excuse for the loss, but recent history shows that losing games at the end of the year doesn't mean shit.

The "take the heat" bullshit has been debunked 27 times in this thread already.
I'm not like Haden at all, because I know the Seahawks will fail.
Now I am reminded as why.
Much more logical theory than your selective "must win game" bullshit theory.
They're from Seattle.
I'll take Confirmation Bias for 1000, Alex.

Yeah, the Hawks haven't won a game all year, that mattered in your fucktarded head. You just had to wait 15,games to inform us.
