Somewhat related to mindset and teamwork, I watched the NFLN America's Game Story on the 2013 Seahawks that ironically featured Pete, Wilson, and Sherman. One of the takeaways was in how motivated the team was coming off the tough heartbreaking loss to the Falcons in the 2012 playoffs. Another was in how the units would support each other in tough spots.
After the 2014 loss, which a similar albeit more brutal tough loss to end the year, the resiliency to use it as motivation was not there in 2015 or 2016. Instead, we see more ME instead of WE and finger pointing.
To me, Pete and John own this as a result of one thing that set all of this in motion and it's not the *mod edit* play call at the end of the SB. It was the coddling of Marshawn when he started bitching about the play calls (through his mother and agent) and openly refusing to participate in things like the rest of the team as well as being in the middle of the rift against Wilson in the locker room. Given his stature on the team, it helped set that precedent to question coaches and motives. Play call aside, he started the whole thinking that it was done in part to make Wilson the hero instead of him, which is completely asinine but still resonates today IMO.
