Three kinds of lies:I think the agrument is that an argument can be made to just about anything.
All I did was post a factually correct statement. When compared against the entire league the Seahawks have one of the older rosters in the NFL (25th). And it is factually incorrect to call them young. if you're viewing this statement as a negative, then that is what is residing in you're own head, and I can't help you with that.
So you're point is to refute people who think the Hawks have a young roster? That's a thing on here?
The Hawks are 3-3 and exceeding most pundits, media members and fans expectations. Why is that bad again?
So now that that's all been disproven, the only way to maintain a position that this franchise is still 'hopeless ' is to nitpick wvery failure, every flaw and find any reason to discredit the accomplishments of the team and in particular, PC.
I too wish the defense was playing better and have been frustrated with the lack of performance. I also know that there are valid reasons for the struggles, both this year, last year and in 2020. Reasons, not excuses. This is the first full year of a retooled defense. New players, New coaches, new scheme. That in itself is an acknowledgement on the part of the coaching staff that things weren't working. So they're building again and it's off to a less than ideal start. But there's nothing to make me believe that guven the talent we already have the position we are in to acquire whatever additional pieces we need, that this coaching staff and team won't be very successful again, much sooner than 99% of the football world thought they would.
They definitely weren't youngI always hated that band Fine YOUNG cannibals
You see the Seahawks near the bottom and I see them at the top of the division, both are correct. Clearly you assume a flat or downward trend based upon what I'm not quite sure - the past? Fade's reaching and emo-based posts? pittpnthr's guaranteed sardonic take? Spin's spin? Or your fence straddling?Maybe. But there could be legit frustration.
The reality is that if our defense was even just average, and the offense keeps playing at the same pace - we are a playoff team.
Few (maybe some but not most) expected that. And there has been a lot of opportunity squandered in terms of draft capital for defense that did not work out.
But remember, we don't hit for average, we swing for the fences. We spend a lot of picks on lots of players in hopes that a few turn into stars.
We do not focus on using each pick to best get players that have the best chance of sticking on the club and contributing.
We will take the high ceiling long shot over the low ceiling sure thing any day of the week.
But again, just an average defense and this is a very different season. So frustration makes sense.
And it should be pointed out, this team is massively exceeding expectations, Geno is blowing past most projections for him, the offense is humming even with our RB out. And we are still near division bottom and basically a .500 team.
My concern was more that we don't have an easy fix. But then again, I didn't expect anything this year so not really possible to be disappointed.
People use the youth excuse in every sport, but especially college football. It's funny how it doesn't apply to teams like Alabama though. Sometimes it's a legitimate excuse. Usually it's drafting, development, and coaching.The young excuse is just a euphemism for poor coaching and lack of talent. "It's okay, gize! They're young!"
It's the young players that are actually playing well. It's the coaches and the veterans that need to pick it up.
