We need to have one horrible, 4-12 season.

Cuz it really held the Patriots back.

The draft is crapshoot for the most part. A 4-12 campaign is not worth it.

When you’re paying a qb what we’re paying, that’s four wins in itself.

When you have a HoF middle LB, that’s 2 wins by itself.

When you have lockett and DK, that’s 2 games you are guaranteed because they will individually dominate.

We’re stuck at 8-8 at worst currently. No matter what else happens period.

Arguing personnel and ways to get it is irrelevant. At the end of the day, we are

1) vanilla and simplistic in scheme
2) predictable
3) don’t adjust in game
4) Telegraph our hikes by consistently running the clock down to 1-2 seconds
5) can’t get our team mentally ready to play 4 quarters of football.


Until you solve those issues, and they are ALL of them on coaching, an early playoff exit is about the best we can hope for barring an obscene amount of luck.

And there is precisely zero amount of evidence to show any of it will be corrected by vanilla man in chief Pete Carroll as HC

Why do people use this term still? It's not 1940. SNAP. It's not a hike count, it's a snap count. The referee doesn't say "prior to the Hike, false start......." Not to single you out specifically, but I see it often and don't understand why

My guess is because when the quarterback asks for the snap he says “hike!”

Either way doesn’t bother me though

No the QB doesn't say "hike". They say "hut" with various inflections or a few other terms like "Go" sometimes, but no QB has said "hike" since football has been on TV at the very least
