I agree with the OP. What good does it do to look at the past? To change what didn't work, and I hope Pete's smart enough to see that. He's so stubborn in so many phases of his coaching that he deosn't adhere to his own mantra.
There were other things that lost us games too, like Bobby Wagner's late hit on the AZ QB. It was 4th down, but he found it necessary to give him a hard shoulder, easy call, automatic first down.
Those of you who find it difficult to carry on an actual conversation of the topic, apparently revert to hyperbole. What good does that do anybody? To me, it was pretty easy to recognize that this post was about how close this team is, and what the future can look like.
But instead, we get posters trying to derail the thread by adding nothing but juvenile remarks. C'Mon man.
Instead of "Fire everybody, and cut everybody (Russell Wilson? Really?), how about evaluating what we do have.
This team was good enough to go at least 11-5. I believe the referees screwed us in the Green Bay game by calling back Naz's INT for a TD on something that happened way behind the play. Part of it was on Avril for pushing the guy, but it was a ticky tack call that imho was from the side, not the back.
What does this mean? For some of you it will only mean "Why are we talking about the past?" Enough with looking for warts, but if that's what you want to do, go for it, just not in every single thread (jokes thread) that you enter.
Here's a quote, "Those who do not learn from the past, are doomed to repeat it."
So Seahawks players, don't make stupid plays that the refs can use to bring a potential scoring play back.
I also agree, that despite his many mistakes this year, that this was one of Pete's best coaching jobs. He suffered through some major injuries early in the season, had no running game, an an aging defense, yet he kept this team in every game but one.
I'm not in the doom and gloom, sky is falling crowd, but there were times in the past when I was, and I don't blame many of you for feeling that way, but try to keep your points "germaine" to the topic, and use real arguments while avoiding hyperbole.
Anybody can throw hyperbole around and make unreal statements. Doesn't take any education to do that. I know the emotion is still there, but let's try respect other's post and tone down the negativity a bit.
