This is how the loss destroys a franchise
Yep, only way the Seahawks fall apart is if Carroll can't regain the trust of the players. The good thing is the Seahawks have a lot of high character guys who are self motivated to be great.
A lot of the rumors mid season were exaggerated, but there was probably some truth to them. Things weren't as peachy as the previous two seasons, although winning seemed to solve the issues. Avril, Lynch, and other defensive players were pissed about getting rid of Harvin. Lynch said the front office, "Talked too much."
