When did you know it was over?

I knew it was over when we didn't take a timeout with 3 timeouts remaining and 48 seconds on the clock to end the 1st Half.... I thought somehow we knew we were defeated and threw the towel in at that time... I totally disagreed with not at least trying to move the ball down the field for at a Field Goal... Right then I thought something is real wrong...

You're on to something here in a roundabout way.

I said weeks ago that Pete's sideline demeanor was different for much of this season. He wasn't quite as engaged from beginning to end, and today, for the first time since he's been coaching in Seattle, he looked totally drained/deflated.

I think this season really took it out of him, and much of that is due to all the sh*t happening behind the scenes which was bleeding out onto the field on game day.

This off-season will be one for the ages...

I never considered it over given some of our past comebacks, but I really hated that call.

Against a weaker offense, were we winning, or were we getting the ball to start the 2nd half I'd understand it. But given how hard it was to stop Atlanta's offense, every possession was important. I assume Pete was worried about Atlanta getting the ball back and scoring again, but given they were already ahead and would get another possession to start the 2nd half, it was no time to play conservative.

I know not everyone will believe me. But I was really worried after week 1. I knew the o line would need work and need it FAST.

I agree, this team had no swagger. There wasn't one area you could hang your hat on and rely on completely.
This was a real coaching challenge. As soon as you patch a hole, another one shows up.
We went about as far as we could go.

I didn't have a single discussion about the Seahawks in the offseason that didn't involve me expressing great concern about the offensive line. It has gotten worse every year since 2013 and looked to be worse yet in 2016.
