Have talked about Seahawks being complacent and losing killer instinct.
I figured out two easy ways for the Seahawks to combat this and get a sense of urgency
1) Inflate the opposing team's stats during game planning
Not an outlandish idea when you consider the vague notion that people get up to play the defending SB champs. In real terms, people will spend more time to game plan for you, more time to get pumped up, and put out more effort.
So whatever stats you see in the analysis that is the team showing "normal" effort. That should inflate since teams playing the SB champs will play with "inflated" effort.
Whatever gameplay you seeon tape is "normal" effort, not "inflated" effort.
The inflated numbers and effort is what should be game planned for.
As an example in simple terms: if their offense normally rush for 150 yards, assume it's 200 yards. If their defense normally allow only 150 yards rushing, assume it's 100 yards
(Hey... any statheads out there: be interested in seeing in previous years how stats compare for a team when playing the previous SB winner compared to playing everyone else)
2) No longer 1-0 each week, 0-2 each week
Each week we are 0 wins and however many losses. Seeing an 0-2 and believing we are 0-2 would get a nice sense of urgency in the locker room to get focused and take things seriously
Just seem mind tricky things I'm thinking about
Thoughts? Has merit? Me just being too gimmicky?
