    Fellow fans: Does losing hurt more than winning feels Good?

    To follow on the point of degrees and different feelings, the losses that hurt the most for me are when you are the best team and lost because of bad decisions or someone being lazy, selfish, or showboaty. I'm not talking about debatable playcalls (at least the part about considering it a given...

    Fellow fans: Does losing hurt more than winning feels Good?

    Completely disagree. It is possible for the joy of winning to be reduced and even the pressure of a De La Salle-level streak or something make it feel like there's only something to lose, but to go as far as your statement is crazy to me. Your point pushes that there is no joy or purpose in life...

    QB Geno Smith Visiting Seahawks ( Signs With Chargers)

    I am flabbergasted at both the thought and the reasons behind it of the backup QB not mattering. First, the idea that a backup can't even prevent one loss in the best of circumstances or that as little as one game can be worth caring about. It is especially appalling to see this sentiment from...

    Do Seattle Have a Drafting Problem?

    I can think of one: they value volume too much, at least of late-round picks in years with reduced opportunity on the roster.

    Wilson recruiting WR Terrelle Pryor? Update: Signed w/Jets

    Stubbornly thinking big play on most of the playaction looks was part of the problem. I'd like to see reliability of the offense improve and that comes from moving the chains, giving the O a chance to build rhythm, and getting more total plays so you can pick your spots to go deep. As much as...

    The Seahawks better learn from the Mariners

    There's a lesson to learn from the M's, but it's pretty much the opposite of the one stated in the OP. The M's constantly value meaningless wins and trying when they shouldn't. They sabotage their own chances to build a winner in order to win a couple extra late-season games and sell a few...

    What is/was holding this team back the most?

    Ding ding ding. I'm not as certain as Jer on the retooling being done right, but expecting to win the same way (with one adjustment that didn't really make sense) was the problem. Mixing in youth wasn't done right and they continued to value volume in drafting when all that did was basically...

    Bennett + 7th traded to Eagles for 5th, WR Marcus Johnson

    Ok, I'll bite with an unpopular assessment. Holmgren failed in Seattle and only came close after his personnel authority was greatly reduced. BB is the only "success" as coach and GM and the main reason he hasn't won more is because he hasn't really been that good at scouting players before...

    UPDATE - Sherman Released

    FWIW for future discussion, I appreciate the change as I find it annoying to see pages worth of out-of-date posts to add confusion to the discussion.

    Source: Seattle trying to trade Michael Bennett

    I understand the willingness to consider it based on the cap situation they've built and how DL is the where the best looking youth is, but I wouldn't trade unless for substantial value and I wouldn't consider a cut. They need to reduce his snaps, some of it by the offense helping to reduce the...

    "Holdout" news of Earl Thomas

    Really late coming back to this, but I'd have to say the example of McCourty and his contract do nothing but support what I said.

    "Holdout" news of Earl Thomas

    He wouldn't be in the situation around Earl that we're in. He'd admit that they way we won before isn't the only way we can win. He wouldn't pretend that it's even possible in the modern NFL to accomplish the ultimate goal more than a time or two by trying to do the same things week-to-week and...

    Could Justin Britt Be a Cap Casualty?

    I guess I'm in the minority who don't feel like Pocic is that close to being much more of an asset. Do we think he hasn't had years of regular access to high-level training? Even this post, which acknowledges the unlikelihood that relative strength will suddenly catch up, suggests that the...

    Zone Blocking vs Man Blocking

    I'd say it's always been dependent on reach blocks and defensive players have become more aggressive and adept at avoiding it (along with the rule changes). They don't allow the offensive linemen to help each other as much anymore and overpursuit is more difficult to punish. Being dependent on...

    Idea for New Seahawks Coaching Position?

    Not new, but I'd say self-scouting and opponent specific gameplans have been a weakness. It's a common weakness and a big reason why more teams haven't repeated the ultimate success, trying to win the same way over time and against everyone.

    College Football Playoffs

    Actually, outside of UCF, I can't say anyone can have too much issue with being behind Auburn. It's a little disingenuous to complain about Alabama's standing considering their resume and also about Auburn's further down the list. Their 3rd loss was in an extra game to a high quality opponent...

    Ryan Shazier

    Yup. From my first days playing, I had trouble understanding how other guys dipped their head so much both tackling and carrying the ball. The reason gets talked about , but many coaches seem like they only care enough be able to say "we told them once, so it's not our fault."

    Who should we pay?

    I think if he makes it through relatively unhurt, this is a severe undervaluation. And if his market is anywhere near that sluggish, it makes zero sense for him to take a low number on anything other than a one-year deal.

    Gronk...

    To me, easy suspension and a mark against the crew for not ejecting. Felt the same way about Amendola's hit on that punt in Denver awhile back.

    NCAA FBS Coaching Carousel

    I can't see losing or keeping Frost at UCF having any direct effect on what happens with the conference in that regard. Did it ever feel like the Mountain West was on the verge of an auto bid to any title system on the horizon when Petersen had BSU humming? Will the ACC lose their bid for losing...
