What? Mariners fans are pissed off all the time. I haven't been content for nearly 2 decades.

That said, I really thought we should have had more RPG or that fake hand off thingy.. play action?

Despite all the other issues, it felt like this was a game our offense could have won.
I don't know that anyone should get fired, but they need some serious reflection. If the run is working, great, use-it, but we're never going to win another Superbowl buy stubbornly insisting on being a "run-first" team .
This someone needs to have a come to Jesus moment with PC and the OC and tell them, fine be run first but mix in the pass more than on 3rd and long. If the run is not working try passing. Dallas was counting on PC being too stubborn to change and they were right. Every time we did not do run, run, pass we moved the ball. Time for PC to update his system and be more creative on offense.

What are you even talking about? Losing? Mediocrity? We are on a seven seasons over .500 streak. Only eight franchises have done that in the past forty years. Losing or mediocre teams do not make the playoffs except in down seasons for a conference. It turns out that we were a much better team than practically anyone believed we were going into the season. Before Carroll was hired we had five seasons with ten wins in thirty-three years. Five. That is mediocrity. That is losing. Six of the last seven seasons with ten wins is a lot more rare than I think anyone realizes. It would have been seven consecutive seasons, which is even more rare, but Blair Walsh was a spectacular failure.

It wasnt a comment on historic performance of Pete’s teams. I meant calling this a rebuilding year to massively deflate expectations, and the willingness to accept this loss under that, as if we didn’t have a chance to keep winning. Mariners fans will accept just about anything and somehow rationalize, which was the comp for OP. Seahawks can win right now, so getting shut down in the first round of the playoffs to me is not great. One tiny step above last year, I guess, but we ultimately made it nowhere. No participation trophies. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the season or watching us play, once we got rolling I had higher expectations for the team in terms of final outcome.
