Shhhh.

Intelligence has showed itself. Don't ruin the thread

The Seahawks didn’t lose in the first round because their roster wasn’t good enough.

They lost because the roster cant overcome the poor coaching. While the roster changes, the coach is still a constant. Expect more of the same.

This is very true, as our offense looked anemic that whole game. The hope is our new OC and run co-ordinator will bring some new blood and ideas in that will keep defenses guessing. That is if PC will let them do their job. Time will tell.

If that’s true, then this thread is pointless.

Of course it’s not true because Pete has had plenty of regular season and postseason success, but that’s the simpleton argument of the off-season currently so feel free to carry on

Pete gets outcoached a lot. How can you not see that? It should be easier to realize currently as Pete admittedly doesnt understand why or how it happens now. That doesnt spew confidence going forward. You're welcome to go on turning a blind eye to it, but its the biggest problem this franchise has right now and its holding them back.

Basketball and Football, both sports have one thing that's common in Championship runs.

First off Health, Football a bit more flexible but still lose a key piece it's hard to replace mid season and can spiral you out of contention, lose depth in football and the same thing happens over time.

Second peaking, you want to build success and then dominate by the end of the season, if things come to easy early teams seem to lose the edge and have problems getting it back, why is a 1000 reasons. We have had our best runs when we have had these two things by the playoffs. Most other teams do also, Bucs did last year.

Pete's far from perfect. Quite true. He has been outcoached at times. All coaches are.

I do find it amusing though that when we win in the playoffs its because of everything but Pete, but when we lose its only Pete's fault....

Wilson has had some terrible first round games lately and yet Pete continues to get all the wrath

This offseason, the "Pete can't win in the playoffs" mantra has taken on a life of its own in here. The truth is, as always, a combination of many things, Pete included.

Absolutely.

Peaking at the right time is the key to championship runs in almost every sport.

Now figuring out how to do it, thats another story

It is getting to the point where engaging with some posters simply makes no sense. In plenty of threads the overriding point is that Carroll can't draft and our roster isn't good enough, but in other threads the same poster will claim that the roster can't make up for the coaching as though the roster that he built isn't the same that they were lamenting in other threads.

Replacing Schotty with someone who will make Russ throw quick and not look for the hail mary every play is an upgrade.

Huge upgrade at LG, if he helps block Donald in the playoff game, maybe we advance. It's that small a margin and we have made a massive upgrade there.

I really like the D line additions. Dunlap is the key to the off season, and Hyder is an upgrade over Reed. Also getting Mayowa back, add in Robinson getting another year older and maybe the great hype of Taylor and that's a formittable Dline. Also, almost forgot extending Poona.

Losing Shaq is tough but the Jags paid superstar money for average corner play.

They're bringing back pretty much the same team as last year so far.

But with 3 big improvements personnel wise, TE, DE, & LG.

The biggest weakness last season was their lack of scheming on offense, choosing to go with nearly the same plan week after week, oblivious to the opponent.

Waldron's strength is scheming. That was his job every week, serving as McVay's top luitenant. He was the biggest upgrade of the off-season if Pete stays out of the way, which I think he will. If he wanted another "yes" man Waldron wouldn't have been the hire.

You should see Wilson under center running wide zone with boot action off of it, plus more uptempo with the field spread looking to score early and often keeping defenses on their heels if Waldron truly has the reins.

Funfact: Wilson dropped back around 40 times in the Rams playoff game where he was consistently hit and harassed. The Seahawks called ZERO designed rollouts. That won't happen under Waldron.
