I know a lot of people don't think preseason matters, but when it comes to the Seahawks I kind of disagree. Something about Pete Carroll's coaching style I think you can determine a lot about where the team is at as a whole even just based on preseason games.
If Pete's team is ready to make a run for the Superbowl it seems to translate in the preseason. Everyone is fired up, everyone knows what to do. They compete plain and simple. From 2012-2014 it seemed like all the players were well coached and fully prepared even in the preseason. This showed the amount of depth we had as well those years.
I decided to quickly compare the preseasons from 2012-2014 (which I think were by far our best seasons that we arguably could of won 3 Super Bowls), to 2015-2019 which I was hopeful but it just didn't feel quite the same.
Seahawks record 2012-2014:
10-2 (83%)
Seahawks record 2015-2019:
12-8 (60%)
Seahawks points per game 2012-2014:
29.5 ppg
Seahawks points per game 2015-2019:
21 ppg
Seahawks point differential 2012-2014:
+16 point differential
Seahawks point differential 2015-2019:
+2.85 point differential
This is just a summary of the averages, but for some reason it really seems like Pete Carroll teams should be dominant even in the preseason if the team is ready to have a chance to win it all. This is just my opinion maybe I'm crazy, more of a gut feeling type of thing.
I'm hoping we see a much stronger next 3 games.
