Schedule. Most division games later in the year, the Seahawks suck in division games

You think that’s crazy? Just wait until it happens again in ‘24.

Both seasons the run defense started out decent and then ended in complete disaster. Different players on the front 7, same results.

 

[LastRideOut]

The definition of mediocrity.

The definition of mediocrity.

You entirely missed the point. The chances of that happening is beyond astronomical.

I feel I need to slap babies here. What in the hell is going on? Y’all are talking casually while I’m trying to impress upon you how FREAKY these stats are!!

Does nobody but me think this is nuts?

 

[edogg23]

That is pretty wild!

 

[morgulon1]

I think the crazier fact is that Pete Carroll hired a fat double chinned bitch to be DC and he did a horrible job.

Then let him fail a second year !!! What are the odds ? Statistically .

 

[BGHawk]

What is even more freaky than that is after it happened once..like shooting yourself in the foot...Pete shot his other foot the very next season. Then to top it off he says he's coming back next season and expects us to be happy about that! * Spins cylinder, holds to head and pulls trigger

The NFL script writers just got lazy and recycled the 2022 script instead of writing a new one for 2023.

Wait until the third year

That is, like, fate telling you “wake up, changes are needed!!!”.

It wouldn't say it's been discussed but several posters have referenced the season being like déjà vu of 2022. From an analytics background it doesn't feel freaky at all. 6-3 is a fairly common record. 2-5 is a fairly common record. Based on coin flips the, (binomial calculator), probability of 6-3 is .164. The probability of 2-5 is also .164. The probability of going 6-3 then 2-5 to reach 8-8 is 2.89% (36.18 to 1) and there are 32 teams in the league. From a league-wide perspective it's pretty common. If you only look at it from a 1 team perspective it's going to feel a bit weird. Mostly the teams you're battling with at mid-tier level are likely to be the teams you're going to be battling with next year. Yeah - déjà vu. Overall it feels like being stuck in time and that's has contributed to increased frustration from this fan base.

Sorry to burst the bubble.

Interesting fact. Last year, before the Tampa game that started the skid, I flew 4020 miles from Baltimore to Germany to watch the game in in person in munich.

This year, before the game that started our skid, I flew 4020 miles from Germany to Baltimore to watch the game in person vs the Ravens.

No games for me next year. 8040 miles, 12 time zones, 8 flights, to watch uninspired play which twice kickstarted a seasons deathspiral.

Probably one of the most accurate descriptions of the last two seasons.

The NFL script writers just got lazy and recycled the 2022 script instead of writing a new one for 2023.

Now THAT is funny.

Those 'script writing commercials' - the 'you can't make this stuff up' with DK - always make me cringe.

It's freaky - but didn't we see it coming like 3 or 4 weeks ago?

Technically he just promoted him, as Pete seems to love doing.
