I don't get it, I see us as a bunch of whiners based on many of the posts all season, we were tore up from the ground up really, Rookie Coaches and many new faces everywhere, players having to learn new systems and coaches implementing systems at the NFL level for the first times.

I am elated we are 10 - 7 in this first year under Mac, at the start of the season many were predicting a losing season or 8-9 or so.

All the success we have had this year that doesn't show up in the win and loss columns rarely gets spoken about, we have a new culture, we have an aggressive defense again, our offense scores points when it's clicking not squatting on the ball.

We at the beginning of the season were not expecting a finish product this year when it started, looking at the comments at the end of the season you would have thought we were super bowl projected.

I am happy where we finished, we had bumps for sure, but we also know where the problems are and it isn't Geno, being overly competitive and pushing too hard can make you look bad at times.

I can't wait till next year's group and will sit back and enjoy watching the Lions, I can only say we are on the same cusp they were when their win got us in the playoffs even though they sat out that year.

The draft is going to be fun, we have holes, but really other then maybe a CB skill positions are pretty locked up other ten depth. LB's, D LINE, O LINE, TE could also be added, but we have guys that can play here.

Wait didn't this re-something started the off season we traded Wilson? So we are gonna do a re-something #2 as the re-something #1 didn't work? Ummm, but you are right #1 got Pete fired, now we on to #2, praying it won't end up getting Macdonald fired

That was the ugliest 10 win season ever, if there was ever was a squad that got 10 wins and deserved to miss the playoffs, it was this one.

That being said, it's almost a guarantee the Seahawks make the playoffs next year.

If it's a rebuild, it's a rapid rebuild

Yep, they’re a bunch of tools on the OLine. OK, interior OLine.

Wouldn’t say it is a rebuild. We’ve been saying it is a rebuild since 2017 when we missed the playoffs.

It is now been three years since Wilson was traded. The MO has been the same across all of these coaches.

Teams that are rebuilding don’t trade for and subsequently give large contracts to aging vets like Leo Williams.

In addition to that we cut our two starting LBs (who we gave big money too btw) and went out and traded for Jones.

All in all it’s a lot like every other season that we tried competing. Exact same formula, mid season vet trade and all.

We haven’t exactly done much to shore up the QB position either. Using bargain bin FA offensive lineman to plug holes.

It’s been the largely business as usual.

our defense has been hot trash for 3 years it was significantly better this year by every measure. That group is going to get better and better.

We have finished rebuilding, we are ready to go real deep into the playoff.

We have totally rebuilt our pass rush, Mafe, Hall and company. We have rebuilt our secondary, Woollen, Witherspoon, Bryant and company. We have rebuilt our DL, Murphy, Young, Morris and company. We gave invest huge capital in rebuilding our OL, Cross, Lucas, Bradford, Haynes, Olu etc. WR too with JSN and Bobo etc. We even traded for the QBOTF in Howell. RBs? K9 n Charb.

Deep to the bone total rebuild, a marvelous job by our able GM John Schneider, a around of appreciation please?

Only two things holding the team back were ole Pete, got rid of him hahaha, and geNO, who stubbornly holding on to the starting job and wouldn't let Howell get more touches. So it's one down and own more to go. Promised land is in sight.

Jets, Raiders, Browns have been in rebuild for decades, can't stop due to bad contracts, bad drafts, bad coaching. Over the years all of them have drafted high level first round QB's multiple times.

Rebuilding continues till you get it right.

Continuing to build. Not re_anything. A peice or two more on D and swinging some last years type contracts for more assets. Its a definitive year for JS to be sure. We can't afford to kid ourselves about values. Freeing up like 60 million in cap space and spending it on hot garbage isnt gonna work this time. It's 4th down and he has to be aggressive.

Pete Caroll is also an asset to us.
