Ok we disagree on this issue... it was aMy "thing" is that you keep referring to the 2022 and 2023 seasons as a rebuild
rebuild but to what degree? Hawks got rid of some pretty big contracts and some major players starting the year the traded Wilson.
This year they revamped the D only two starting players from last year started this year with a heavy mix of vets and 1st and 2nd year players which makes them young at key positions.
I know they lost 3 but I have addressed this issue and you missed my point or I didn't make my point strong enough.My other "thing" is your insistence that the Niners are "beating everybody" when in fact they've lost to three .500ish teams in succession.
With the exception of those three losses which by the way were because of key injuries, look at the point differential of the 9ers victories they are wiping out every body they beat Dallas 42-10 they beat Philly 42-19
Yes they lost three games... but what were the circumstances that they lost those games? It was because during that stretch they had 3 major players hurt. Williams, Debo, and McCaffery. That is precisely why they lost those games because of injury to key players..
The point being that the Hawks have been playing all year with a decimated O line, Geno missed a game and played hurt in a game because the O line was beat to hell they played 10 different combinations of lineman... Walker has missed a couple of games and has been playing hurt . Locketts been hurt Metcalf has been playing hurt. They lost Uchenna Nwosu, Diggs has been playing hurt Jamal has been nursing the rehab on his knee, can't get Mone back because he is hurt...I could go on and on because the truth is the Seahawks are decimated by injury all year long and that takes a toll on a team and that is PART of the reason the Hawks have struggled this year.
I'm using SF as an example of what happens when you lose key players they went on a three game skid. How good do you think they would be if they played their first 6 games with out their starting tackles? during that three game stretch look at purdys numbers he got sacked, pressured and threw int's because they couldn't run the ball or protect the passer
And yes injuries are not an excuse but at the same time it's not a reason to fire a head coach. Yes there are other issues the Hawks have to work through its not all injury its also player execution and peneltys etc.
yes Pete is ultimately responsible for this team. My only point is before we judge it let's finish the season. Pete Carroll is very good at getting his team to play well in the 4th quarter of the season.What I am saying is that Pete is responsible for this mess and needs to be held accountable. He's already thrown a number of coordinators into the volcano, so if a change is deemed necessary, it needs to start with Pete.
I'm not at all satisfied with these mediocre .500ish one and done teams that seems to be the maximum of what Pete can produce. He's had 7 years to rebuild this franchise, not the 2 years you're claiming it to have been.
I'm not going to go into the specifics of the last 14 years other than say, To do a rebuild you have high draft picks. You can't rebuild picking in the bottom third in the draft.. come on man... I mean name a team that has done a rebuild successfully drafting from 26-28 for 12 years. I mean be real...
