All I'm saying is that with the 2015 schedule, we dominated some teams and the D wasn't playing that much.
26-0 Bears
20-3 49ers
38-7 Vikings
35-6 Ravens
36-6 Zona.
During this Season the D wasn't gassed, but they gave up 31-0 to the Panthers 1st half. None of the major Defensive players for Seattle got injured in 2015. We still had Lynch and Bevell and still won the superbowl in 2013. I'm saying that if we had Quinn retained as DC, 2015+ Seahawks would had done better, maybe would had gone to the Superbowl that year also.
Here are some stats regarding those games. Do with them what you want. The D wasn't the problem in the Panther game.
