They could still win this game (probably not) but how did anyone think this team had a chance in the playoffs after watching the 2nd half of the season?
Mostly just hope. It wasn't inconceivable that the offense would pull their heads out of their asses and return to form. But turns out they just stuffed them up there further.
It’s been like this for 6 weeks with zero signs of life
No question, but it's still an absolute head scratcher. That same unit was the best offense in football for six weeks. Taking that big of a nose dive mid-season, and still sustaining it after players return from injury, is fucking wild.
Once upon a time I speculated that Peterman had burned out from coaching and that a deal was being made behind the scenes for Lake to take over for him. There was short-term ridicule but then later it all proved true.
I'm getting that same feeling about Russ. When I look at Russ over the past month, I see someone going through some sort of deep personal strife. Marriage trouble, family trouble, something.
Something went sideways with him. He’ll bounce back, but it wasn’t the same, usual guy although you never know if that was simply because he was playing shitty.
No, Russ is always so upbeat and positive through anything that it is almost annoying.
Pete Carroll is the new Mike McCarthy. One super bowl, both underachieved in the playoffs for years after said super bowl, coaching records are near identical between Carroll's Seattle stint and McCarthy's time in Green Bay.
Another early exit. 12's will disagree, and Carroll is still the best coach in franchise history. That's fine. The two resumes are very similar.
Downplaying a coach that has won a Super Bowl and gets into the playoffs every single year is FS.
There isn’t any active NFL coach with more than one Super Bowl other than Belichick. The pass on the goal line fucked Pete’s legacy.
He was always positive and had a swagger, even during his rookie year. He doesn't have that right now. That wife of his wanted to move to New Yawk and there were all those Giant rumors a couple years ago. I sort of dismissed it as dumb gossip but maybe that's an issue.

So I should be happy about McCarthy in Dallas?
No, but Dallas sucks. The Seahawks do not.
Green Bay shouldn't have fired McCarthy?
If Pete goes 7-9 and 4-7, yeah fire him. McCarthy deserves to get fired. Pete does not.
Believing McCarthy is as good of coach as Pete is FS.

McCarthy is fucking terrible. If I’m not mistaken, Pete has won at least one playoff game every year they’ve made the playoffs up until this year.

Pete Carroll is Mike Tomlin... not McCarthy. 2 super bowl appearances, 1 win. Consistently always contending for division titles and 9-12 win seasons but has had a very frustrating playoff resume since the early Super Bowl success.

I think Pete is past his expiration date.
