Post draft power tanking for the Hawks, we are 15th in NFC, only ahead of the Falcons. We have nowhere to go but UP! or we will be guarantee top 5 picks next draft?
Can you give am example of being terrible at GameDay gameplanning?Hey, if Pete can repeat the magic - everyone will be thrilled.
The question is whether an aging HC who used to be terrible at gameday play calling but incredible at player development, terrible at hiring coordinators but incredible at defense, and terrible at strategic positioning but incredible at motivation - can now be effective given he is still terrible at those things, but now also middling to poor at player development & defense. It does not help that his reputation as a motivator is taking a hit as well.
So what is left?
If Pete is in a cognitive decline, and sure looks like he lost a few rungs on his ladder already, then there isn't much to hitch the wagon to.

You are definitely a TwistedHusky, and NOT in a good way...!!!!Hey, if Pete can repeat the magic - everyone will be thrilled.

Well said and agree!Is anyone really surprised with ranking the Seahawks towards the bottom?
I am very excited for this upcoming season, but we need to be realistic with what we are going into.
We will have a new offensive system since I will throw the routes I want to throw did not run the system last season.
We will have at least two new starters on the offensive line, and more than likely three.
That offensive line will more than likely struggle to gel for at least the first five or six games considering the league rules of contact during the offseason.
The running game is going to rely on an oft injured running back and a rookie (I have already said that I love the Walker pick and that I think he is going to be great, but it is still a question mark).
We have a lot of receiving options, but to call our QB situation a question mark is a bit of an understatement (I enjoyed seeing Smith throwing to all parts of the field in a few of his drives with his rust, but with people able to game plan him, will he be able to produce better results, though I do believe Lock will beat him out, he is also a question mark)
We are installing a new defensive scheme.
Both of our starting safeties and one of their backups are coming back from major injuries.
We let our defensive leader go, so who is going to step into that role and how well will they perform is a question mark.
I have no problem being optimistic that most of the question marks will go in our favor, however can you blame anyone who does not? There are a lot of examples of our personnel decisions not going in our favor.
He's going to Cherry Pick a game that we lost, and offer that up as proof LOLOLOLOL that's all he can do.Can you give am example of being terrible at GameDay gameplanning?
DittoWell said and agree!
This is akin to the twisted interpretation of 'you can't win until the 4th qtr' that j63 goes on about as proof that Pete doesn't like to win convincingly.Some of you are hilarious.
At this point, if you haven't seen the issues with Pete (issues that followed him since USC) - not sure what to tell you since you obviously aren't watching the games.
Pete himself literally tells you that he 'does not like to' adjust his approach to the opponent (which is code for having a predilection against it). This is how you get games like the Dallas playoff game or the Rams playoff game (at home).
He does not adjust for the strength and weaknesses of the team. He uses base defenses regularly - which results in linebackers trying to cover WRs. He runs the ball into loaded boxes. Hell, he barely even accounts for his own team...we were running the ball up the middle with guys like Homer and DJ...for 1-2 yds a carry.
He is terrible at adjustments at the half. Whereas the other team generally shuts down what is working for us after halftime.
If you cannot honestly acknowledge his weaknesses, THAT HE ADMITS TO, then discourse is pointless because you are either oblivious or incapable. Maybe deluded? no idea.
Didn't you watch the press conference where Pete admitted his defensive approach was 'arrogant'? HE PRETTY MUCH TOLD YOU HE WASN'T EVEN FACTORING IN THE OPPONENTS. What kind of gameday planning does not adjust to the opponent? Garbage planning.
(You watched these games and did not see it? Seriously?)
The problem isn't the weaknesses which should be obvious by now, it is that the strengths he used to have that offset them no longer appear to be in existence. Which means he has little to no value anymore.
What else do you call a defensively-minded HC running teams with some of the worst defenses in the history of the NFL?
That is like Tesla has a lousy product development policy because they aren't making adjustment to install better catalytic converters.Some of you are hilarious.
