This board does seem to have taken on a Twilight: Team Edward vs Team Jacob vibe and it is very sad to see people I once had the utmost respect for who only post now about how Pete Carroll is holding the team back. All of them seem to believe that Wilson had no hand in the offensive struggles when all you have to do is look at the All-22 and you see that Wilson was not taking what he was given the second half of the season. This does not by any means absolve Pete of trying to rein in what Wilson was doing. Some of the interceptions he threw were fantastic plays by the defensive player. However, some of them were bad decisions with him throwing into ridiculous coverage when he could have taken other open receivers or run for first downs, which is probably what Carroll said behind closed doors.
hawk45":25jjm7j7 said:So I remember the last niner game being one where the narrative was about the OC calling only long pass plays. I went back and watched the 2 sacks in that game (small sample size, but worth seeing what went wrong when a sack is completed by the opposition).
7:22 left in the 2nd quarter. 3rd and 8. Wilson has about 2 seconds to get the ball out and then gets engulfed. Bad OL? OC calls all deep routes? Nope. There’s a Lockett crosser but it’s covered up so not Russ there. However San Francisco shows a pre snap read of bringing the house. They bring six (I’m pretty certain? Small phone I’m rewatching on, at least 5). Someone, Russ, WR, should have adjusted to hot. I feel pretty solid assigning at least partial blame to the 35 million dollar QB.
:25 left in the second quarter. 1st and 15. Russ is sacked immediately. OL? All deep routes? Nope and this one is atrocious by Wilson. Dontae Johnson is showing corner blitz on Wilson’s right side. Because Johnson is coming, locketts crosser is WIDE open and probably picks up all 15. This is all 100% obvious from the pre snap read. Wilson does not get it out quickly to Lockett. Wilson is caught completely unprepared by the corner shooting in like a missile and covers up for the sack. OL had no chance at all because the QB inexplicably ignores a corner blitz like it was 2012 and he still had the athleticism to avoid a free rusher. This is a trend with Wilson, ignoring the corner blitz, and I throw things every time I see a corner on the LOS.
I won’t take these two plays and say they prove Wilson is to blame for every sack of the year. But as I said, I remember the narrative in real time was damn that OC and damn that OL and we definitely see there are quite reasonable things Wilson can be doing to help out his OL that he demonstrably did not do, resulting in the only two sacks. OL doing its job just fine.
Wilson was the 2nd most blitzed QB behind cam Newton as of nov 18 (article I found). Wilson handled the blitz well in 2019. I can’t find the analysis for 2020 yet but this approach neutralized our passing offense largely in the second half of the season so it’s something teams do not fear us beating, or beating to great effect. Makes sense: force Wilson to get the ball out quickly, something he struggles with.
This is not the picture of a horrid OL. Yes the rams owned us in the trenches that’s the rams. Teams respect our OL and disrespect Wilson’s blitz reactions enough to send extra men at a high rate. Even if some analysis comes out that Wilson was okay vs the blitz, the overall limiting of our passing offense is why teams would not and did not stop blitzing. We can not dink and dunk period why would they change.
Ultimately Pete was right this year: we should have run more. Light boxes. Quit trying to get Wilson to be comfortable over the short middle. This would be viewed as Pete’s imagination limiting russels production but that’s not what it is.

The power struggle between Pete and RW is real, and I think there is a real possibility that 2021-22 is RW's last year in Seattle. What a shame.
Of course you have no proof this is Wilson speaking through DK, Maybe its Lockett, Maybe it's the whole offense, maybe it's the whole team or maybe its just DK.
I do agree something will change, how soon not sure.

This is funny. There are a lot of people in the media who are pointing out that Wilson is not taking his check downs. It isn't some secret that the Seahawks have the third and fourth reads that are not being thrown to. There are plenty of videos out there pointing it out. It does not make them Pete Carroll defenders. It makes them people who study film and do not believe that behind closed doors, Carroll is telling Wilson not to throw to third and fourth receivers if they are in the short or intermediate routes.
Show me the “media people” that are saying the offensive problems of the Seahawks are due primarily to RW.
My guess is you can’t, you’re just taking whatever flaws in RWs game as pointed out by the media and taking it to whatever conclusion you want.
Don’t worry, Pete’s gonna run it more. All our problems are solved. Just relax till next season and prepare your kudos to Pete for another wonderful season of barely scraping by garbage teams and getting killed by good ones all the way to a wildcard and massacre in the playoffs. Yay
Your adversarial posting is not appreciated.
Your hyperbole that the problems are due primarily to Wilson is not appreciated.
Here are the links that you can take a look at where the people are pointing out exactly what I have been talking about:

There was a segment on NFL Network last week regarding Wilson not taking the plays that are there, but I can not find the video right now.

Chris Simms, John Gilbert, and others have placed more blame on the scheme, than Wilson. I also think it’s funny you posted a video by Samuel Gold, and not his follow up video criticizing the Air Coryell offense and why it dictates Wilson’s reads. So basically, you’re claiming to be an objective person but you’re unwilling to weigh both sides of the debate.

How exactly have I not weighed both sides of the debate? From what I have seen, there is no debate on this board now. There are several posters that only post about Pete being the one at fault and do not post anything else.
There are several posters here who do nothing but defend Wilson from any criticism whatsoever.
It seems as though there are only four or five posters here that actually look at the All-22 and point out things you can not see on the broadcasts.
In other threads, I have agreed with the fact that Pete has absolutely tried to cut down on the mistakes that have been made by Wilson. His interceptions cost us home field advantage. I have no problem stating that Pete tried to pull Wilson back from costing the team games. Anyone who has a question about that, does not pay attention.
I have never claimed to be an objective person. I have never claimed to be anything. I have only pointed out with video evidence that Wilson was not throwing to open receivers in the second half of the season. That has gotten me a few immature responses to say the least.
In regards to links, I can't post videos from Top Billin' on the main forum due to language, but he has done film on Wilson not throwing to open receivers.
Here is Rodney Harrison's take:

There is a distinct difference between being frustrated with Carroll when he repeatedly fails to take advantage of opportunities available with the resources he has....and simply not being happy with him or wanting him gone.
Wilson will be gone before Carroll is. And if, for whatever reason, Carroll calls it quits beforehand?
The chances we upgrade from Carroll are low. And the chances this team is better once he leaves become low too.
Metcalf is in for a rough ride, because this is not the best place for a WR. Carroll simply won't maximize the ability there.
And Wilson is always going to produce less than he could under a great offense.
But this is it. This is the ceiling. So hoping to hasten Carroll's departure is crazy.
He is old. His best days are behind him. And he is a net negative on gameday. But his ability to fill gaps in the roster simply cannot be overstated. Few coaches could make this roster work.

Yep. The Packers really went down hill when they moved on from their Super Bowl winning Head Coach Mike McCarthy.
It will be a dark day when Wilson is no longer here. The QB is the most valuable player in sports. Pete was a flop in the NFL until Wilson showed up.

Let's not get disingenuous here with the shoddy comparisons. McCarthy was fired in the middle of his second straight losing season, not after 3 straight playoff appearances at 10-6, 11-5, and 12-4. TwistedHusky is no Carroll fanatic, and their post isn't justifying Carroll's employment with a Super Bowl win 7 years ago. It's simply stating that the team is quite likely to be worse if Carroll is fired, not better... which, historically, is a pretty solid assumption. Not sure how McCarthy bears any relevance to the topic, very different situations.

The way it was written implies its PC leaving that will cause the dark day, not that it was a dark day that caused him leaving.

Back to back years the same thing happened. They started out hot, teams got film, and they proceeded to go in the tank.
