Pretty much every loss since 2012 was bc the D blew a 4th quarter lead. They even almost did in the CCG against SF. Its not an elite D. Offense sucks though.

Might as well trade Graham mid season to someone to try and get some draft picks for O linemen as well since I can barely remember he is even on our team.

Might as well fire Bevell already. Averaging something like 8 yards per carry and not being able to get first downs late in the game is absurd. 4th quarter is when your big runs come.

Bevell and Smith the twinsFS need to take a cruise ship together and turn into a hurricane.

I honestly think the Seahwks would do better with Smith at this point to be honest.
Carroll said they needed "1 more second" and the bengals wouldn't have had time to kick the tying fg.
a) it was 5 seconds when they kicked it.
b) if your lb doesn't give Dalton a shoulder kill shot and instead wraps him up, tackles him to the ground, slowly gets off of him, etc that might have been difference.

That's nice and all, but it shouldn't have gotten to that position.
In the final 33 minutes (inc. overtime) hawks had 53 net yards and three first downs.
Cincinnati had 76 plays, we ran 53.
Our offense is below average home or away, the defense is above average and elite at home.
This is still a playoff team. It's not elite/top 4/one to beat etc.
It's on the upper end of the 24 teams in the middle that on any given Sunday

With Graham's money they could have kept Unger, signed Evan Mathis, and drafted someone (OL?) in the first round. Sure today we would be complaining about our shitty receiver corps, but in hindsight I wish we had this one back.

How can you say it is not an elite D? What is an elite D? Haven't they been ranked #1 defense statistically the past few years?

Was.

Lots of players got paid and/or are bitching about getting paid now. The last 3 years, Earl and Kam used to celebrate every hit like it won them the game. Now they are bitching at each other over blown coverages. Sherman seems like he is just going through the motions. I MISS MY HAWKS!!!
Really though, defense is a young man's game. Seahawks are old by NFL standards, and they aren't fighting for their roster spots anymore.

Pete Carroll's coach speak is sounding worse and worse. Some gems from his press conference:
- What a great game, so exciting. We're really close guys.
- I have no idea what happened in the 4th quarter
- Sometimes, that's just football (Lloyd McClendon says hi)
Remember when Pete ran a fake punt up 50-10 against Buffalo? Those were the days. Now, they look like a John Fox coached team terrified to lose. I wonder if the Superbowl fucked Carroll.

Carroll will always stay positive. He knows it's a long season and that the Seahawks still have a lot of talent. The way they blew the game fucking sucked and was inexcusable, but they get Carolina at home, then @SF and @Dal.
It's not time to panic yet. Get to 5-3 at the midpoint and then a huge home game against the Cardinals.
