I appreciate the time you took to address your points when you were called out by LTH.
Even if LTH does not agree or recognize your points, other posters here do.
I am also frustrated with Carroll and the division among this board befuddles me as there are many here that are content with a team “good enough” to go to playoffs but when Seattle does lose, the game isn’t all that competitive.
The playoff game against the Packers last year was a fine example of this. Seattle and their coaching staff were ill prepared and did not make any adjustments when the time allowed and the momentum of the game was one-sided favoring the Packers a majority of the game.
This frustrates fans since this happens a lot and Carroll does not seem to take responsibility for lapses in management.
I do appreciate your post, ZagHawk and I thank you for taking your time to address them even if others here will look past them and ignore it.
I hope it gets better for us!
Cheers!

What?!?! How many losses in the Pete Carroll era have been non competetive? What was the NFL record streak of not losing a game by double digits?

If I remember that game correctly, at RB the Seahawks were down to Travis Homer, the recently signed Marshawn Lynch and Robert Turbin. The running game was an absolute non factor no matter how much they might have tried. Injuries just plain depleted them of any real competetivness.
Last week was a prime example how out of the game Seattle really was.
They were disinterested, and check out mentally.
That playoff game against the Packers did not show a sense of urgency and nothing was being done to adjust defensively to stop Davantae Adams from shredding Seattle. They didn’t roll any help to Trey Flowers side and Adams was just doing anything he wanted too.
That’s all game planning and adjustments that needed to be made during the game and is also another example of Carroll being unable to make any in game adjustments and changes.
Why a majority of people here aren’t sick of it, I don’t know.
Seattle did lose all their running backs and that happens but at least make some defensive changes.
What excuse do they have to not do that?
But, hey, at least Seattle went to playoffs, right! And that’s enough all the time now! (Sarcasm)
Feel free to disagree.
I’m pretty much over the division within this board and the failure to see that Carroll’s system is flawed and he cannot advance deeper in playoffs anymore.
There are a number of games that looking back at the score seem more competitive than they are but in reality the Hawks were getting their butts handed to them down by like 2.5-3 scores and then RW makes 2 TDs in the final 5 minutes still relying on a miracle on-side kick and TD to win and then we look back and say oh...see how close that game was. The flipped script also can occur when the Hawks due take a big lead and let the opponent score in garbage time to make the game seem closer than it was (Eagles). But given what I wrote earlier, that definitely was one thing I did not like when the Hawks stat used to be like the Hawks have not lost a game by more than one score in X games full well not recognizing how many of those games were kind of blow outs except for some scores in garbage time.
