I just find it interesting that you have been complaining about Carroll, complaining about JS, complaining about Jody Allan, complaining about every aspect of the Seahawks but Russell Wilson who you say is NOT happy in Seattle because Pete Carroll has ruined this team... But in actuality Wilson has as much or more to do with the team's woes as anyone on the team. Now all of a sudden, all the doubters are gone, nowhere to be seen...
Hmmmm... I'm just not quite sure what to think about that...LMAO!!!
LTH
Did my statement not include passing the ball?
You find it interesting because your incapable of seeing whats really going on due to your fanboyism. Russ is playing bad, no doubt about it, and because he cant cover up for the rest of the teams ineptitude as usual, he's all of a sudden the root cause for all of the issues to you and others now. The only difference between this season and any other season is that he's hurt and making some bad decisions and isnt playing out of his mind like he normally does. He's still the best player on the team and the only player that can overcome the pathetic coaching schemes to somehow will the team to some victories. Let Geno or another game manager type QB take the reins for a season and you'll quickly see how bad this team really is without Wilson.
Why am I even explaining myself? You still think the defense is good for Gods sakes.
The ineptitude of the team has been tied to a style of play thats been dictated by the QB . We have never run a traditional offense in Seattle because we have Russel Wilson at QB. He doesnt have a traditional skillset. he never has. His success has come predominantly from play action or from improvised play; improvisation that was at times necessary because of protection but at times because of his chosen style of play. But from a fan's perspective, improvisation that was in every way necessary for us to be successful... because without any other way to look at the game or understand the intent and responsibilities within a given play, thats exactly what it looks like. and the media, who loves the comeback story and incredible highlights, gobbled it all up and perpetuated the theme - Russ IS the Seahawks offense.
Meanwhile on the team, there's never been the same kind of praise for Wilson among hos teammates as there was from the outside.
We have never been a great audible team. We've never been great at adapting to pressure at the line. All of these facts have little to do with the HC other than him stubbornly sticking to that style of play - allowing Russ to make sh!+ up as long as it was working. now it doesnt work anymore. Russ never developed the skill to do the things he is very obviously not capable of doing now, and he no longer has the talent to overcome the deficiency.
So you can fault the entire franchise for the failure that we now are, or you can remove the piece that is largely responsible for dictating that we play the way we do - one Mr Russell Wilson.
