We may be what you call boring but we are a team with a first year head coach that is guaranteed to have a winning season.

How many first year coaches shit the bed?

We should consider ourselves lucky and enjoy whatever games are left. It’s a looooong offseason.

You know what was boring? Winning two games in 1992. That sucked. 2024? We’re on our way.

Draft Oline. Draft Trenches. Get ourselves a QB in the next year or two and we’ll be Even better.

That..is how I watch most games, except the games I get OTA. I use ESPN, where I can see the progress on the " field of play" . I refuse to pay for streaming or cable. I really do just prefer it that way. I want just the facts ..minus yards, plus yards, TDS, win or lose
Redzone is a great gameday channel, but it is part of the pay me nfll lineup However, there is another nfl site that is included on free tv channels that is pretty much the poor man's redzone. It does the game tracker thing for all teams playing and shows score updates, stats, AND delayed video sequences for each game progressively throughout the day. Usually for each possession of each team. It's a good stroke. On my set it is among the LG free tv channels. Go over to the 'sports' category and you will find it there. It is called Game Day or something like that.

In a lofty place tanglin' with Satan over history.
Sort of my doings this year. The one game I watched was on paramount and it happened to be a good game against the cards. (I have paramount for the SpongeBob pretty much exclusively and every time I ditch it because the kids don’t use it they want spongey back)

I have prime as well but I don’t watch football on it - it’s solely for a clockwork orange and one flew over the cuckoos nest on repeat
I fux with this energy right here.

Plenty of examples of first year coaches making the playoffs. These guys all dealt with changes:

DeMeco Ryans
Mike McDaniel
Todd Bowles
Kevin O'Connell
Sean McVay

Why couldn't we get it done with MM? Do we have worse talent then the Rams?

Yes, they dominated the trenches on both sides of the ball.

Probably. That Rams team had five players make first-team All-Pro and two made second team. Goff was a second year player who went 0-7 as a rookie, but had 28 TDs to just 7 INTs. The OL was very good and stayed remarkably healthy. Todd Gurley went insane. They had prime AD. They had three All-Pros on special teams.

Yes, let's blow it all up, charismatic owner, bring in a proven all-pro QB in his prime, pay him $230M guaranteed to lock him up for years, no more half measures. Oops, wait, that's the Cleveland Browns.

How about a first overall draft choice QB, success guaranteed, and bring in a proven Super-Bowl winning coach, for sure a guarantee of success within 3 years. Oops, that's the Jacksonville Jaguars. I forgot charismatic owner, back to the Jaguars again, that Shad Khan, he's really winning the NFL.

I'm starting to look more at ownership again now. I'm perfectly aware that any new ownership would be a crapshoot. But I'm growing tired of ownership now. True, you could have a meddlesome owner like the Jets that could condemn your team to something even worse than mediocrity. But I'm ready for a change. Our current ownership is an interim ownership. She has to sell the team according to the estate, but has obviously delayed in doing so. I'm tired of the flatline of our ownership. Even though Allen tended more to the reclusive end of the spectrum, you always knew he was involved and engaged. I just feel nothing about this current interim ownership.
I’m only a few billions short of being the next Seahawks owner, sorry! But, I’ll have it next week, I’m telling you! You know I’m good for it!

Sadly Spoon is the only Seahawk to have a shot at the all decade 20s team. We had 4 the decade before , and 3 before that

1. Release/Trade Geno
2. Sign Zach Wilson
3. Draft QB in round 1 or 2 or 3
4. Have Howell, Wilson and Drafted QB compete to start
5. Hire great QB coach
6. Spend Geno's money on the lines
7. Profit.

It was not too long ago that we had one of the most interesting owners, glamorous of head coaches, a defensive unit that had a nickname that most fans of the game knew, colorful personalities like Marshawn, Bennett, Sherman, Baldwin, a collection of true nationally recognizable stars, up to perhaps five HOFers, a loud, raucous, festive stadium and crowd that was one of the most difficult of places for visiting teams to walk away with a win from, a team the national media could not ignore as much as they've always been want to.

Now we've got a mostly mute and invisible owner, a head coach who, though he may prove to be talented and successful, will never be mistaken for a beacon of charisma, a general manager who lurks in the shadows unable to give the clear impression that he knows how to build a successful team on his own, a team bereft of recognizable star power, and seeming to lack much of any real leadership in the locker room, a starting QB who could never be mistaken for, nor would you want to be one of the faces of the franchise, a team mostly devoid of real personality capable of inspiring a franchise, a team stuck in the muck of mediocrity for years now, and basically speaking, a team without an identity.

It's no wonder the national media is back to paying little to no attention to us. It's no wonder our seats are invaded by the fans of other teams, and that our stadium is no longer the thunder dome it once was. It's no wonder us fans are stuck hoping for an improbable series of events to happen to squeak into the playoffs as fodder for a true contending team.

We are a boring, uninspiring, faceless, identity-less team and franchise from top to bottom now. We are in need of a massive reset, and such a reset might well have to start with ownership. Someone's got to take hold of this mess of bland, tasteless mediocrity and start breathing some new life into this franchise. We need stars. We need personality and leadership. We need new faces for the franchise. We need something to reignite the fanbase's interest in and commitment to the team.

Just what I'm feeling about this team at present.
Our team has a new face, please get use to it.

The Seahawks are far from being boring.

Just ask "jammerhawk".

Jammer tracked 367 player roster moves last year.

That doesn't include the roster churn of coaches which was mammoth last year.
