Wasn't this like the toughest schedule in the NFL over that stretch of games too?
Yeah, but they were mostly 'elite' defenses. IIRC our 3 dev rivals were all in the top 10 or 12 teams in the league, not the conference, the league. 5 of those games were against those 3 div rivals, and 2 of those 3 have Top 10 (maybe 5?) pass rush units. While we were holding our opponents to less than 10 pts/game, we weren't scoring much more than 20 either.BullHawk33":3qucx70u said:joeseahawks":3qucx70u said:We did finish 11-1 over the last 12 games ... wow.

At the beginning of the season it looked like a gauntlet, yeah. Unfortunately, losing starting QBs for our divisional rivals somewhat blunted the belief that they were difficult opponents. Of course it had to be them and not the Seahawks that made them look ordinary.

We already started the season in the most difficult division in the most difficult conference and then got handed one of the toughest schedules in the league with an early bye week on top of that. Then came the injuries piling up and the 3-3 start combined with the Percy Harvin fiasco that he had to deal with. And then he led the team on an 11-1 run through all of that crap to emerge as NFC Champion with a chance to win back-to-back championships. But I guess that's not as impressive as fading down the stretch, choking away a division title and losing to a sub .500 team in the playoffs.
Coach Of The Year my ass. :roll:
