This indicates a complete lack of respect for Lockette and lack of accountability. He was the one who called the play to target a player with just 18 career receptions with the title on the line. In many ways the team has just not been quite the same ever since. Pete's ideology perhaps was questioned and players began to not fully buy in. Our team has remained competitive but there's been something lacking.
If you're satisfied with 10-6 type seasons and divisional round exits, then you'll be forever happy. For those of us that have been following the team since Patera, we realize these windows for a 2nd championship are limited and Pete needs to quickly ignite a spark and/or make some changes in the offseason. The era obviously is not over, but I'm not sure if we'll ever get that 2nd title with him. Let's hope they can go on a run now through the playoffs.
Great post.
I'm sorry, but after such a horrible and mentally draining call as the superbowl play was, somebody needs to answer for that. That was one instance in which I groaned that Paul Allen isnt more active in the decisions of operations. Any other owner wouldnt have put up with a call like that and would have made an example by firing the OC. Just moving along after that with an 'Oh Well' attitude is damaging to the teams psyche as I believe we have witnessed since it happened. Honestly, its hard to believe that there were no repercussions. I think the players are too. The edge and chip on the shoulder mentality disappeared as soon as that play was ran.
