Just enjoy the ride. Great coaches don't come along very often.

What the hell? You both hate the Seahawks and love the Patriots. They are awesome, unless you understand they sucked Cleveland Browns level until Tom Brady arrived. Just like us before Russell Wilson. And he still gets a 10-5-1 record and wins the division and wins a playoff game as usual while being injured seriously enough to not actually play.

Some one already noted that his father Rs pep talk stuff has lost its affect on some of the older guys and when those dolts openly mock it then that also affects the younger guys. More importantly the "always compete" is impossible to sustain once you have to start paying guys and letting other guys walk. Once a guy gets that cap eating salary you have to make use of them as much as possible to mitigate what their salary is costing you not being able to fill other positions. Those guys we lose to the cap are usually the depth and with out them our full tilt practices take as much toll as games do. Guys get beat up.
No . It might be wise for Pete to work on a new approach. Otherwise he has to find away back to making every player on the roster expendable.

With you calling me a troll, that must mean that you believe Carroll and his cronies are on the same level as the Patriots coaching staff. Now I know what I'm dealing with.
You cite the Patriots every single time as your favorite residents of the ivory tower.nash72":1xz9mg7c said:Josea16":1xz9mg7c said:.And Heckle shows up right after Jeckle.

If your so tired of it all then move on. Pretty simple. You don't give a shit but yet your constantly posting and being combative. We're in a thread about Carroll moving on and if its not all positive, the worlds going to end. Now Bevell Jr. sticks his nose in it and wants a mod to intervene because a few of us see negative aspects with the organization. Come on now, time to pull the big boy pants up.
I don't love the Patriots, I'm just jealous of their success and wish Seattle would improve. Oh my, I must not be a fan.

And you are correct in that I don't need the assistance of a mod. I can see for myself through your posts that you embody in true colors the unmistakable evidence of a fair-weather fan.

Absolutely. He's the most important player on the team, but as good as he is, he wouldn't have made any difference in how far we went. The Falcons were going to throttle us no matter what and GB probably would have again too. They were just playing lights out.

The past two editions of the Seahawks were not nearly as good as the 2012-2014 editions. The defense isn't nearly as dominating, we don't have Beast, the offensive line is much worse, and Russell seems to have hit a plateau. You can cite what ever reasons you like, but those are for the most part universally agreed on (except some might question the Russell part).
Where I disagree is the amount of blame attributed to Pete and the comparison to the Patriots. The Patriots are in a league by themselves, and it's not fair to any team to be compared to them. They are an anomaly. It would be better to compare us to teams like the Broncos or Packers that always seem to be in the mix but have won just one SB in the past 15 years or so. We have been in a bit of a funk the past two seasons, but our core is still solid. We need a tune up, not a complete overhaul.
Thankfully we haven't had years where we completely tanked, like the Panthers did this season. But I'm not satisfied. Pete has spoiled me. I expect Super Bowl teams, not playoff teams.
It's fine to put the rabbit up there that we're chasing, but when we fall short of catching them, most on here are objective in reasoning why we fell short in that pursuit. You, on the other hand, choose to castigate the entire organization as failures. Maybe that's your coping mechanism in play, but many would refer to that as a fair-weather fan.nash72":bj3y6tw3 said:Siouxhawk":bj3y6tw3 said:You cite the Patriots every single time as your favorite residents of the ivory tower.

Yeah I cite the best and most successful organization in the NFL. Isnt that what we are striving for?
A fair weather fan. Lol. Coming from a guy who just jumped on the band wagon 6 or 7 years ago and who's heart is still in Minnesota. When you've put in 40+ years of rooting for the Seahawks, get back to me.

You can't do what the Patriots do. You can't be the west coast version of the Patriots. Once BB is gone the Patriots won't be able to do what they do now. You have to find your own way. We'll have to find our own way, unless Belichick stays around for awhile in the front office. We went through this before here. Once Red Auerbach left the Celtics the Celtics were never the same.

In a parallel universe somewhere, the Seahawks run the ball on that game-defining play, win a 2nd-consecutive Super Bowl, and then Earl Thomas doesn't get hurt last year and Carroll gets his opportunity to go 4-0 vs. Belichick for his 3rd Super Bowl championship. Then it would be three Super Bowl wins for Belichick and three for Carroll, and all would be right with the world. :179417:

See how hard it is? You need a parallel universe to accomplish it.

No need to rub it in.
