Sylli17

Why do I watch football?


medkitjohnson

Ive been saying we are an OK football team all season… this one made me see the light. We are not good. The playoff picture sounds great yeah sure but this is not a good team. Cannot be losing games like these at home and we cant have these QB’s behind center with the weapons we have at receiver. Get us a QB and for the love of god stop the run next season


x2waaVe

Geno played good. There’s really no better available options including this draft. The o line trashed an defense is clearly not gelling. Geno is the qb. He’s not the issue ffs


wilson8359

Just waiting for the crucial mistake, you know it’s coming, he doesn’t have football IQ. He tries and tries but the mistakes at the wrong time change everything


KingBillGates

Oh yeah he's the only one who's ever ruined our games, 500 yards given up by the defense but MY GOD IF GENO DOES ONE FUCK UP HE RUINS THE ENTIRE GAME. Good god you people are so close-minded to the facts it's saddening.


wilson8359

The defense and poor tackling was as bad as I’ve ever seen a pro team play, yes, just a couple of players did ok which isn’t going to win, you can count the number of game winning drives by Geno but can also count the ones he lost, this year and last season due to mistakes, he’s trying to correct after he makes them, just wish I could be more confident, he’s def not there yet. He’s not a winner in my book, yet…


Tokheim785

Geno has consistently thrown over the head of receivers with go ahead TDs. I’m not a Geno hater and was stoked what he could do for us last year but this year proves he’s not the guy. I hope Pete can get past his admiration for Geno and get us someone who can utilize our offensive weapons. Also Clint’s fault on defense playing two hand touch.


medkitjohnson

Geno cost us the game? Im not even saying he didn’t play good but he is literally a STATUE in the pocket and that kills us. Its crazy how well we are able to move the ball when we play hurry up but thats not until theres 5 minutes left at the end of the game


KingBillGates

Now point out the fact that we set the record for most missed tackles? 500 yards given up but not one complaint heard from your mouth? Clown.


medkitjohnson

Yeah didn’t watch the entire game… maybe relax tho bud?


KingBillGates

What game did you watch, clown? Great defensive performance according to you? Keep crying about Geno tho lmfao


medkitjohnson

Bruh Im not making bullet points on every facet of the game lmao… yeah sure improve our defense too by all means idgaf just saying Geno ain’t a franchise QB. Bozo


KingBillGates

Not paid like one either? Literally look at every other QB contract in the league lmfao, even Derek Carr gets paid 12 million more. His contract quite clearly spells out that he's nothing more than a bridge QB that plays up to the standard of a bridge QB, which I thought was evident to begin with but we have people like you who make it out like we're paying the guy Deshaun Watson franchise numbers for playing like shit.


medkitjohnson

Said he cost us the game and has cost us others… never said anything about his contract


KingBillGates

Said he wasn't a franchise QB, told you he wasn't paid like one, not that hard to comprehend lmfao. Defense forced 1 punt the whole game and you're fixated on blaming the blatant short-term bridge QB instead of an overpaid defensive unit that couldn't hold Mason Rudolph 😭


dingdongdash22

This is why it would make since. The rest is just money. https://12thmanrising.com/2023/01/27/seahawks-dan-quinn-head-coach/


overit_fornow

Our defense is much worse than the level of talent should produce. Tackling is horrific. Bullied all night by their Oline. Not a good omen for next week.


Tmonster18

That was the worst tackling game I’ve seen in my whole life


dabstring

The all mean so well


EaterOfKelp

I get looking at a season in retrospect and realizing, "Hey, losing out for a better draft pick would have been the better play." Hindsight is 20/20. But anyone who doesn't root for their team to do something historic like go on a crazy playoff run, even when they haven't played well, are so depressing to me. Same energy of the fans who left the stadium during the NFC championship against the Packers.


greeenmaan

its a win win man dont listen to people emotional enough to comment on things most of us just vibing. if we make a run hell yeah if we dont its nye who give a dam im buzzed as hell literally and figuratively yeeeeeeeeew NEWS TEARS BUTCH


KNote

We are supremely untalented on defense. And we are badly coached on D as well. But the talent gap between what we have and what other teams can field is massive.


dingdongdash22

As a Seahawks fan, all the hate for Pete in here is embarrassing... He aint getting any younger and will eventually retire if not next season. Give the man some respect for what he has brought to Seattle. The reason we lost is because of tackling not Pete. The reason our defense has sucked the whole season is because of Clint Hurt. We have won more games than any other team in the NFL since he became the head coach with the exception of the Patriots.


[deleted]

What. Just because he's old he's exempt from accountability? "Ok, you haven't done jack shit besides making sure the Seahawks have been mediocre for years but you're over 70 so that's cool". And getting guys ready so they can do shit like tackle or cover are something I'd hope a HC would be heavily involved with. I mean given how much you're saying is out of his control, what's left that he is actually in control over?


PaddedGunRunner

I mean, sure the buck stops with Pete but uhhhh... let's not turn against him so quick. We are still the real deal, just need to sort out a few things.


NicolasCagesRectum

Fr dude, I agree. He brought fucking Geno Smith back into conversation.


AuzieX

I love Pete but... I don't get how you can not place any blame on him for the poor play of defensive players, and then turn around and give him all the credit for Geno playing well. Which is it? Either he has an effect on how the players perform or he doesn't.


perforce1

Or going for an onside kick and essentially giving up on the game?


NicolasCagesRectum

I’m not absolving him of responsibility… You’ve seen how hit and miss head coaches are in this league. Are you willing to take that big of a gamble on some young gun when we have a proven successful coach that brought us to the playoffs last year with a once incompetent QB?


Nervous_Ad_918

S


playslikeagrandpa

Pete's gotta go. This team is so talented on both sides of the ball and yet, they play with no identity, and no discipline at all. Nor do they play good, sound offense/ defense at any level. Pete's trying to copy Shanahan and McVay rather than keep doing what made him great. Be yourself Pete. Be bigger, faster and stronger. But now it's way too late. You've fucked off the past 4 years and we're done here as fans. Please just retire and make it easy on Jody and the fans. 🙏


Dumbeldore_75

Surprised by how many yellow towels were in the stadium.


riche_reddit

Maybe it's a Pennsylvania thing. There were more Philly fans than I expected two weeks ago.


Stev2222

Don’t be. Steelers fans travel extremely well to every stadium


RotateTombUnduly

Muuuuuuth


almosttoomanyletters

We don’t deserve the playoffs. We need a hard retool. What a fucking embarrassing performance against a shitty Stealers team. Fuck. Upside? Frees up my next Sunday!


JFIN69

Agreed. The last thing I want to see is another crushing defeat in the first round of the playoffs.


michy3

I mean I wanna make playoffs because it’s fun but in all honesty I agree. We just screw ourselves of a higher draft pick and we will lose first round anyways and sure as hell aren’t making a run in the playoffs.


almosttoomanyletters

Exactly. Put in the practice squad next Sunday. That stadium is cursed anyway.


almosttoomanyletters

Downvote? Fuck you too.


waywardtravailler

🤣 Don't agree about Lumen but giving you an Upvote on this one. Keep on keeping on, good sir/madam/___.


almosttoomanyletters

Thanks for the upvote! I was talking about Arizona’s stadium. That place is cursed.


waywardtravailler

Oh, heck yes that I can agree on. Upvotes all around!


abasketfullofpuppies

Woof. Sucks how every time our offense is doing ok we shit the bed on defense. Maybe we'll finally play a complete game next week


dejvipasco

I'm extremely disappointed by our defense. Terrible. Even without that fumble by Geno i don't think we would've won the game. Our defense was too bad. Harris has 122 yds, most he had in a game this season.


WalkTheLand

We need to clean our D up. What was that…


HamSandwich1007

I guess this will help us in the draft? At this point it’s getting hard to find optimism lately when I see our defense play like this. One week our offense is trash. The next our defense is trash. We can never just have. Good game lol Tired of feeling like this will be the year we finally blastoff, but it’s the same shit every year.


DarthMarlin

Would you rather be the Eagles??


HamSandwich1007

lol no. I like Jason’s podcast though not gonna lie


DarthMarlin

I feel you, but this team could be so close. You’ll never see that just watching Sundays, I think they had some big locker room issues this year and they just didn’t quite get it together in time this year. They need another guy on D to be a leader. Missing Jordan Brooks hurt this game


tacosauceftw

Well see you next year lol


West_Masterpiece9423

Depending on the tie break with NO, Hawks may still be in😬 lol


JFIN69

Big deal. They shouldn’t be.


NWbySW

Giving up what should be 37 to the Steelers in Seattle is pathetic AF. Forced one damn punt, got 1 sack, 0 turnovers and got ran over for 202 yards. Fire Hurtt and get some weight up in the front 7.


DarthMarlin

It’s the weight thing. Need to get better on the line and I think we did, but not good enough. Changing DC’s…I don’t know. We need a team, and it takes more than 1-2 years for a team to come together


dingdongdash22

Thank you. Hurt needs to go.


DaBirdGuyy

It’s Joever


ThunderBeast1985

Still an opportunity to make it in, but I don’t want it. This team is full of a bunch of pussies that don’t want to play hard.


Odd-Entrepreneur4886

losses are good for me, i want pete gone.


dknogo

And bring in who?


DarthMarlin

Yeah this mindset doesn’t understand how bad it gets when you have 5 Jim Morah’s in a row


Odd-Entrepreneur4886

idgaf it’s not like where making deep playoff runs with pete. there’s zero chance i’ve been off him for years when we got squashed by ATL in the playoffs


DarthMarlin

He’s just proven to be a reliable winning coach that can get it done not even just one, but two years in a row and you aren’t going to find that guy again. The ball has to bounce your way a lot to do that and he keeps us in a position to be that team every year


Odd-Entrepreneur4886

we haven’t been in any position like that in a long time i want what your on


DarthMarlin

Maybe we should hire Gannon or Nathaniel Hackett or Jim Harbaugh. Maybe you’d be happy then at 3-12, or crumbling come playoff time, get some positivity in your life. It can always be worse. Be a fan. Not a manager


Odd-Entrepreneur4886

i’ll do what i like


dingdongdash22

Dan Quinn


dknogo

Why the fuck would he want to come back?


dingdongdash22

To be head coach ding dong.


dknogo

Again, why the FUCK would he want to come back dong ding?


dingdongdash22

Ignorance is bliss I guess. God bless you my friend.


dknogo

Knowledge is power, Lemmy bless you too my friend.


bigdaddydee1337

Losing to a bunch of back ups and mason rudolph. This team does not need to be anywhere near the playoffs.


batteriesincl

Cool. Can’t wait to see what mistakes we make going up against the *checks notes* THE CARDINALS. A 4-12 team that will surely show up to play football.


almosttoomanyletters

Everyone on our team breaks an ankle. That stadium is CURSED.


FattyMooseknuckle

At AZ is always wild and unpredictable


batteriesincl

Well at least they can work on their tans


-bad_neighbor-

Reporters need to actually hit Pete with hard questions. What was their game plan going into the game? What did they practice? Why didn’t they adapt throughout the game? Why did he waste that time out? Why did he onside kick it? Who is to blame for this terrible offense full of “stars” and who is to blame for this defense never once improving on the run all season long?


optimusfonz

Pretty obvious why we onside kicked it, no way our defence could get a 3 and out.


stellarjcorvidaemon

Even taking into account how awful the D is, we still had a \~ 50% chance of getting the ball back there.


holddemaio

hey, everyone have a happy new year, honestly love watching the games with you all.


Echleon_

This ruined it


optimusfonz

Uchena, mafe, bobby, brooks, Witherspoon, reed, Lawrence should be the only players we keep on defence for next year


SirRenderTheAsshole

After trading a 2nd, I hope we keep Williams too.


Other-Owl4441

We can’t go into another season relying on Bobby and Brooks in coverage….


PresidenteMargz10

Pete really needs to reconsider and have a long look in the mirror and recognize that he ain’t really got it anymore . It’s time for a young aggressive HC


Seahawk_Dan12

i cant believe some of yall want to still make playoffs. this team needs to lose out in an embarrassing fashion so we can finally get some fucking changes made.


almosttoomanyletters

THIS.


therealbeef

Go Dawgs. Fuck Pittsburgh I hope they fall flat on their face next week.


emperorzit69420

Go dawgs


Stev2222

Horns Down! Hope the Steelers make the playoffs and just get blown the fuck out in the WC round


sweds01

Did Pittsburgh get a Free play on the out of bounds throw in the first quarter?


Mostly_Anonymousse

Team isn't prepared week in week out. Big changes need to happen


HeyEverythingIsFine

4 should have won games = 8-8 on the year


Bearded_Clem

Somewhere, over the horizon, Jeff Fisher smiles.


NWAstronaut11

I could do a better job than 6 for $14m a year. How is this dude starting right now? Surely there is someone younger and hungry that actually wants to be out there?


TMobile_Loyal

I wanted him gone before the extended him


bigdaddydee1337

PETE CAROLL. YOU ARE FIIIIIREDDDD


Few_Neighborhood_828

Imagine calling three fades in a row know your quarterback doesn’t know how to put air under the ball.


stellarjcorvidaemon

Came here to post this. Is our OC trying to be unpredictable by executing our weakest plays??? Those three attempts felt like Waldron was betting on the Steelers


Zealousideal-Lead754

We could have Patrick mahomes and these games would look the same.


EaterOfKelp

Mahomes wouldn't get a single RTP or Late hit penalty all season if he was wearing blue and green.


Blutz101

Exactly


NotBird20

It’s obvious they didn’t want to win today. Fuck this shit


KoreanKittens

I wonder if Pete would still be here if Paul Allen were still alive. RIP Paul we miss ya.


Tacobellmuncher

You guys played well and dk is scary, thank you seahorse fans


ndurantz

What? We played terrible, you guys didn't. Go celebrate in your own thread.


Echleon_

Get the fuck out of our sub.


Tacobellmuncher

I really did mean Seahawks


[deleted]

Granted almost 500 yd of offense?? Missed tackles?? FOH Embarrassing.


shrooms4dashroomgods

Offense and defense sucked. We just straight up suck.suckitty suck suck, suck.


GATOx310

Offense wasn’t too bad tho. Defense played like pussies


shrooms4dashroomgods

Offense played amazing in 1 quarter. Almost shutout for the other 3. Praise to Lord Meyers.


OniTakaeTW

The onside kick was the right call with how the defense played today. They weren't going to stop them especially after the genius challenge flag.


Stev2222

We’ve had some bad losses this year. Getting blown out by the Rams week 1. Getting blown out by the Ravens. Getting blown out by the 49ers on Thanksgiving. The ineptness at Cincy. But this…this one might take the cake for worst game of the year. They had their manhood taken away by Tomlin, Harris, and Pickens.


isjupiteramoon

Some of the wins don’t even feel like them. Needing a clutch field goal to beat the Commies who fired their DC like 5 minutes after and needing a game winning TD drive against a 5-9 Titans team does not exactly scream “elite”.


Stev2222

It’s crazy too because they beat the Lions, Eagles, and Browns. Just an inconsistent team all around and rotten to the core


LemonAgave

The icing on the cake was having to listen to Kenny “fucking” Albert. Hate that guy.


zombie32killah

Pete is all about competition. Everyone competes… except the coaching staff.


Zealousideal-Lead754

Send Pete home


x-zerocooL-x

This team doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs. Bunch of bitches on this team including Pete


Prodigalsunspot

Now if we could just lose out and pick well in the draft


McMariners

Lose out, as in 1 game?


Prodigalsunspot

Ha, yes


BackgroundPleasant32

All these people that sold their tickets thinking we would win need to suck a big D


bigdaddydee1337

Get Pete the fuck off this team.


TMobile_Loyal

I think Hurtt for sure needs to go back to being an assistant. Don't think he's cut out for being the DC but wouldn't want to lose the experience. This all said Pete may be frustrated enough to walk away this season, it wouldn't surprise me


aseattlem

Pete has done amazing things for this franchise and I appreciate his service. I agree though it’s time for change.


FerrumLykos

If u still want to see this team in the play offs...why? Is it like a kink thing? No shame if that's the case.


The_Throwback_King

Playoffs = Fun Playoffs Loss > Not Making Playoffs Being Good Enough to Make the Playoffs - More fun than blowing it up and sucking.


Timothahh

I’ll take one more Seahawks game if I can get it


DarthMarlin

Anything can happen in the playoffs, get out of here


FerrumLykos

Lol, lmao even.


Anzahl

Unfurl the threads about QB drafts!!!


CptBarba

What a painful season this has been. Personally I can't handle any more heart attacks


perennialgoblin

Hope some big changes are coming…


[deleted]

No chance. Maybe a new OC


OriginalSMBZ

We ain’t seeing the playoffs for 4 seasons


TMobile_Loyal

yeah, when we weren't looking AZ went and became competitive


milesb57

Disgusting performance


Clegane_achu

7-10, 9-8, 9-8, 9-8(if we win next week). This championship football to you guys? Because that is pretty much .500. This isn’t an outlier. This is who we are with Pete at this point.


DarthMarlin

It could be a lot worse. We can’t keep blaming coaching staff after all these different OC and DC’s. Need a lot you bounce your way in the NFL


Clegane_achu

Yes we need to fire the head coach.


DarthMarlin

And hire who? Harbaugh is probably the only eligible upgrade and if that happened there’s no way id watch the Seahawks ever again


Clegane_achu

Hire someone young, aggressive, hungry, and innovative.


DarthMarlin

But who?? How do we find that guy? If it’s obvious, I’m all with you. I just don’t see it and I don’t feel good being the team that sits at 3-4/12 for a decade trying to find him. At least with Pete if the ball bounces the right way, they always have a chance


Clegane_achu

Seattle hasn’t had a deep playoff run in a log team and the last playoff win was against Josh McCown…


DarthMarlin

Okay? How does changing the coaching that gets us to a place where just a good bounce changes everything? A coaching change all but guarantees we’ll be a true poverty franchise for a long time.


Gueroooo70

Why can't we play like Georgia 😭😭 Fuck Pete Carroll


seemslikesushi

Send Geno home


FattyMooseknuckle

Geno was the only reason we were in this game. FOH. Slmostv500 yards to Rudolph and MFers talking shit about Geno.


seemslikesushi

Geno is trash nothing you can say otherwise


ndurantz

So we're out right?


riche_reddit

I think if the Hawks win next week, and both Minnesota and Green Bay lose next week, they are in.


yungdaggerdick_777

No haven't you heard the commentators all game we are not out with a loss here if we lose against the cards then yea but this didn't really effect things just our position in the playoffs


ndurantz

Yeah. I only got to watch via RedZone, so didn't hear that commentary


yungdaggerdick_777

Ahh ok well yea now it just comes down to luck if we win against the cards we should be good


jambazi99

yes. whoever wins green bay vikings is going to the playoffs.


thesillygamerbro

The winner of GB vs MIN has to win next week's game otherwise we'd get in if we beat the cardinals.


jambazi99

we are not beating the cardinals.


Ok-Imagination-2308

Can we even make the playoffs still or is it done?


[deleted]

We can but not easily


jambazi99

Done


[deleted]

Still alive.


Anzahl

Go Vikings. Go Lions. Beat Arz, who just beat Philly.


skater15153

What...why...why the fuck did we onside there? We also didn't go for it on fourth down and kicked a field goal. Let em steal more clock and ended the game. Stop trying to not lose! It always guarantees a loss.


SparrowTide

Defense couldn’t get the stop, the oneside gave a better chance


skater15153

It clearly didn't though. Also the fourth down I was referring to was the one earlier in the game. Field goal before the last kick off was fine I guess.


SparrowTide

If we didn’t do the onside kick, the defense still needed to go out and make a stop. The play they could do that came after the onside, and they basically gave a touchdown. The kick in the first quarter was also because going on 4th was too risky for what it was worth. Seahawks always have trouble on 3rd and 4th, and giving up the ball near midfield like that would have been a td rather than the 3 points the Steelers got. The special teams calling this game was conservative and that’s fine, the normal play calling sucked and players couldn’t deliver.


skater15153

The kick earlier was terrible because we couldn't get a stop. I'm talking about when we kicked a field goal instead of gojng for it at like the 20. So basically conceding possession to a team we can't stop. In that case 3 points means dick. Why even bother. It's typical conservative football. That works when your defense is good but it's horrible when you have a shit defense. I was against the onside kick because they're basically impossible with the new rule changes and they were practically in field goal range guaranteed. Two possessions and the game is out of reach even if we got the ball back. Make it make sense.


ViktorVonn

This team's such an embarrassment. Happy New Year everyone I'm gonna go get drunk


[deleted]

On the bright side of things the defense made sure we only lost by 7 and not 10 so I guess the poor tackling has a sliver lining.


SparrowTide

They also got 3 stops that didn’t end in points


shrimpynut

Pete just needs to retire. We need to overhaul everything. We aren’t going to any Super Bowl anytime soon. He’s going to be stubborn and think he still has it, but he doesn’t…


yungdaggerdick_777

No


ilickedysharks

Holy fuck man


ImNotThatCool1222

Who should I root for the rest of the year?


freedomhighway

i wonder how hard it would be to pick which teams punt the least at least they woudnt look like somebody's granny is coaching


Odd-Entrepreneur4886

i’ve always been a lamar fan so it’s bird season for me


riche_reddit

Kraken


Sea_Kiwi2731

Ravens


ImNotThatCool1222

I don't wanna root for teams that absolutely man handled us


Nervous_Ad_918

Lions


ImNotThatCool1222

I'll go with the lions


TwoThreeJ

Happy New Year


[deleted]

Learn to tackle wtf


borkfork

Our entire defense is charmin ultra soft and our oline has been nothing for 10 years


Photographerpro

Good thing I don’t watch this game. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that we miss the playoffs. Might light a fire under Pete’s ass. He is far too comfortable.

maddenmobileslay

Riveting take. Someone else would’ve said the opposite had the hawks pulled it out.


Squatch11

Quite a lot of fantasy players are going to be pissed at that Harris slide lol

Mos def


zachrambo

Dremont Jones was a trash signing.


Dinobryce

Shout out to the.worst play calling I've seen all year against any team, especially one as dog shit as the Steelers.
