    Did Pete Just Lose the Team?

    I wouldn't want to see Pete leave - all things considered he's done a great job keeping the team competitive year after year despite all the personnel turnover. Very few coaches have that level of consistency - some of it is certainly Wilson, and there have been mistakes, but overall I trust...

    Not on the same page- something not right!

    One area where I have no faith in Pete is in game decisions. He's great at finding and coaching up talent, and perhaps it's just my perception, but in games it feels like non-stop wasting of timeouts, dumb challenges, not knowing when to go for it on fourth, and things of that nature.

    Wilson has signed a deal with seattle seahawks!!!!!

    Even though the number is pretty eye-popping, not a surprise (quarterback deals seem to inflate every year ) and the alternative of losing Wilson would have been ugly. I'm in the camp who believes Wilson is an elite top-5 qb, so this is the price we had to pay and will need to work around the...

    Pay Wilson Or Not..

    I see it slightly differently. One the one hand spending that much (and soon to be more if he's extended) money and then be the least pass-happy team in the league isn't good asset management. On the other hand, the only reason Pete's run first offense ever worked was because Wilson could bail...

    Pay Wilson Or Not..

    I do wonder if Russ has any interest in a change of scenery. He obviously super popular in Seattle and seems to get along with the team, and has good team success overall, but if he cares about his individual legacy (maybe he does, maybe he doesn't), is a run-first team the best spot to do it...

    I love Schotty and the Run First mentality

    Odd, but mostly true. Of course you never know how a game would have played in an alternate universe (that whole butterfly effect thing), but certainly seemed like every change we had to make due to not having a kicker worked in our favor. The onside kick was really the only area not having...

    My thought on the peril of a run first identity

    Good post. I've always disliked the "run-first" philosophy - it can work well during the season but inevitably we'll hit a defense that will cause problems. Granted, the philosophy did win us a Superbowl, but consider that at the time: 1.) We had the most expensive o-line in the league (IIRC)...

    Will Seabass be back nest year?

    Walsh was previously a very good kicker we got cheap because he was coming off a brutal season - I didn't like the gamble given we were a contending team, but there was a chance he could have rebounded given he was still young. I think with Hausch it was some combination of him coming off a...

    Will Seabass be back nest year?

    Ya but also had more attempts from over 50 and slightly better XP%. But I take your point he didn't have an amazing season either (last year on the other hand he was near perfect). This also shows though that Janikowski really wasn't that bad this season.

    Will Seabass be back nest year?

    He mostly did okay as a stopgap - definitely had more confidence in him than Walsh - but hard to imagine he'll be back. One of the bigger mistakes the team made was not holding onto Hausch. He would have been expensive and was coming off a subpar season, but he's managed to rebound nicely in...

    Here comes all the “Fire Pete!” “Fire Schotty!”

    This was far from our worst loss, and losing our kicker obviously complicated things, it was just disappointing because it felt like Russ and his receivers were playing great, yet we kept running the ball for 2 yards. Despite all the other issues, it felt like this was a game our offense could...

    Wilson is ok. Nothing special

    Russ has had bad games - today wasn't one. He played great, can't blame him for the poor run-game and sticking with it long after it was clear it wasn't working (nor for the special-teams and penalty issues)

    This team should make the playoffs

    But where's the fun in that? :D "We may never win another game" and "we're the best team ever" posts are just a lot more fun.

    This team should make the playoffs

    Division is probably out of the question - even if we won-out I'm not sure LA will lose 3 games. But I'm feeling much better about wild-card chances than a few weeks ago.

    Removing Ethan the key to the offense line stepping up?

    With both Britt and Ifedi (knock-on-wood), it took until their 3rd season to really perform well consistently, so I'm not too worried about Pocic at this point. But ya, what nice pickups Sweezy and Fluker were - both bargains.

    Did the Raiders Oline look familiar?

    Correlation doesn't equal causation and all that, but it definitely doesn't look good on Cable that all of a sudden - and with a similar group other than 2 cheap (a bargain in hindsight) free-agent additions - the line actually looks really good. While the run-blocking looked pretty good in the...

    I was wrong

    It was one game against a mediocre team, but given how terrible the Seahawks looked the past 2 weeks, I'll take it. Especially since Russ looked far, far better, and at the end of the day, any slim chance of a Superbowl run will come down to Wilson.

    Wilson 3rd worst QBR in the league

    He's always been a bit of a slow starter, but he really has looked back the first 2 games. Hopefully he can rebound.

    Bevell not to blame?

    Well said. I don't think Bevell was a very creative play-caller or anything (I doubt Pete would have allowed this anyways), and the fact he didn't get hired this year despite having a SuperBowl under his belt tells you something. But there are deeper problems that have exposed themselves. I'd...

    Is it time to move on From Pete?

    With the caveat that it's only been two games, at the end of the season it may need to be considered. The optimist would say this is a rebuilding year and if Pete could build a team up from scratch once before, he can do it again and deserves another few years to do so. The pessimist would...
