So the defense loses one player, and no one places blame on the coordinators or Pete Carroll for the atrocious defensive performances but says its all because Earl is gone.
The offense doesn't have 4 players but somehow it's the coordinator who is supposed to fix this.
Bottom line, when you don't have the players, its is hard to execute any game plan no matter how good of a coordinator you are.
In seven seasons under Pete Carroll:
1. Have .635 win percentage in regular season
2. qualify for playoffs 6 times
3. win division title 4 times
4. Have .667 win percentage in playoffs (with this playoff season still to come)
5. win NFC Championship 2 times (with this playoff season still to come)
6. win one super bowl Championship - and within a hair of a second (with this playoff season still to come)
Only the New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos can compare over the past seven seasons in both regular and playoff results. And you can say that the Seahawks compare quite evenly or a hair better than all of them considering how close they were to winning that second championship. If they won that they would undoubtedly be the best team in the NFL during Pete's tenure here.
Maybe you think that a team is supposed to roll through and win Super Bowls multiple times?!?! I've got news for you - the only team that has won the Super Bowl twice in the last 10 years is the NY Giants who have won it twice. Its not that easy bro.
(The Giants had a 10-6 and 9-7 regular season record those years - the Seahawks this season are 10-5-1 which apparently disappoints you. And in those ten years, other than their Super Bowl runs, the Giants had only played - and lost - in one other playoff game).
So you want to fire Pete huh? Who on god's green earth is out there that has a better track record than him that you want to replace him with?
