That is the about same as calling a bear mauling an unprovoked attack after coming across it sleeping with its cubs, picking up a cub and then poking the adult with a stick.
It was coming right for us

You gotta add Hairball to that mix. I wanna see him continue to own Hairball.
I forgot about Jim, so 7 critical Raider games for the Seahawks to follow. lol
It would be nice to see Pete's Silver & Black upstarts curbstomp their division rivals at least once with a Cowboy beat-down being the cherry on top.

Like I thought, Pete made the picks, trades and signed FAs that went downhill fast.

We had an eight year draft drought with high picks like,
Dwayne Eskridge-2
Jordyn Brooks-1
CJ Collier-1
Darrell Taylor-2
Marquise Blair-2
Malik McDowell-2

And a rash of bad FA signings,
Olsen, Graham, Joeckel, Lacy, C. Williams, Adams, Harvin and dare I say Matt Flynn?
I don't know who shoulders most of the blame, I just really don't want that sort of thing to go unchecked again.

The greatness of the whole event, Pete made the statement with a perfect straight face, a sincere voice, and all of that. Convincing, believable, all of that. One of many reasons why Pete is being paid tens of millions and ole toffee ain't.

Pete has the ability to turn a turd into a polished artifact, how he views things, may not be reality all the time, but how he looks at everything. It works for his persona to think of things that way I wager.

Do we know what the conversations were? Did they give Pete an ultimatum where he can either clean house including firing JS and keep his job or else take the fall and get canned?

I will give Pete all the credit in the world for this: He seems to be aging a lot better than a certain current HC down at UNC right now

Do we put coaches in the ROH? I think he earned it. Super Bowl champs. Seeing Harbaugh go into meltdown mode was so satisfying.

Super Bowl, back to back appearances, the creation of legendary LOB, driving force to acquire Beast Mode. Yeah, he made a “forever” impact and bond with the 12’s and the city. He stayed too long, but the high’s were pretty damn good.
