The star quarterback lit up scoreboards for the Seahawks over the first eight weeks, throwing 26 touchdowns as the Seahawks raced out to a 6-1 start and sat in first place of the NFC West. He threw four or more touchdown passes in four of the first seven games, including tossing five touchdowns in victories over the Patriots and Cowboys, putting him on pace to break Peyton Manning's single season record.


But starting in Buffalo in Week 9, everything started to unravel. Though Wilson threw for 390 yards in a 44-34 loss to the Bills, he threw a pair of costly interceptions and coughed up two fumbles that were recovered by the defense. The next week, he once again threw two critical picks and lost a fumble in a 23-16 road loss to the Rams, dropping the Seahawks to 6-3 and out of first place.

He made his statement after the Arizona game. And if you watched that Buffallo debacle and blamed the offense? Than you and I will no longer talk football because there is ZERO chance I will agree with you. After that game, in which Josh Allen threw it all over the place, Pete actually said "we had a good game plan if they would have run the ball. They just never did." They didn't have to you geriatric bafoon! If he would just shut his mouth ater losses I'd have a much easier time putting up with him!

Allen was 31 of 385 for 415 yards and 3 TDs, but yeah, blame the QB that was 28 of 41 with 390 yards for why the defense gave up 44. This place cracks me the fuck up. Once again, Pete Carroll could piss down your throat, tell you it's Gatorade, and you would thank him for the hydration!

The issue was the interceptions. Remember teams were dropping an extra safety into coverage and Russell was throwing interceptions. That's when they had their falling out. Again, viewing Russell with the broncos I can understand them not being comfortable running the offense

the star quarterback met with coaches prior to a Week 11 matchup with the Cardinals to offer schematic suggestions for jump-starting the offense. While the coaches heard him out, they apparently dismissed his advice and Wilson angrily "stormed out" of the room

Which, to me, speaks volumes about PC's unwillingness to make game time adjustments. Great, you have a game plan, but you can't predict what the other team is going to do. And should the opposition make adjustments, a good coach will make corresponding adjustments.

Do you remember that many of those were thrown after we were down multiple scores? We turned 7 and 1 into 12 and 4 and a first round exit....and guys like you defend it because Pete couldn't possibly be wrong. That would be bad enough, but seeing that he has no problem with it this time around? 26 TDs and 6 INTs demanded a change in the scheme, but not Geno and his 9 TDs and 7 INTs.

As for adjusting in that Bills game, as Douche suggests. There was ZERO reason to plan for the Bills to run the ball. No one ran it less that game. Pete saying that is him showing what he thinks about the intelligence of the guys covering the Seahawks and their fans. And of course? Not one reporter called him on it.

The Bills were going to attack our dogshit pass defense with their high powered passing attack, and we had no answer. But, at least we had a great game plan for the run game, even though they never run the ball!

It's not Pete being right or wrong, the interceptions were an issue.

Again, please compare the 7 and 1 start to this 5 and 3 start and tell me which offense you would have changed. NEver mind, you will just do what Pete did. He's always right.

THIS offense is shit, and I expect more of it, because THIS is what Pete wants. It's obvious by his comments, which are no where near the disappointment he showed at 7 and 1 doing it Schotty's way.

Terms of Pete being right, the general consensus then seemed to be fire Pete and extend Russell, put the offense in Russell's hands. I don't know about you but I'm happy that didn't happen.

I don't think that was the general consensus. Most, especially in here, understood you needed balance. What we have now is NOT balance, but why is Pete OK with 5 and 3 and 9 TDs and 7 INTs, but he wasn't OK with 7 and 1 and 26 TDs and 6 INTs? It's absolutely ridiculous, and the fact that it doesn't surprise me, because, well...it's Pete! Well, that sucks. The guy does so many things well, but when it comes to the offensive side of the game, and what he is ok and not ok with? It blows me away.

Trust me, if he thought Geno was a problem? Much like we knew with Russ that year? We'd know. Pete is flat out fucking wrong on this one. I still say the reason that Geno got all the starting reps last off season was because Pete wanted Geno. Geno played great last year, and many guys like me ate crow. Funny how that doesn't seem to coralate to this year when Geno stinks. All the excuses roll in. It's bullshit. Geno is a huge problem, and so is Waldron. K 9 and Charbonnett might as well not even suite up...because this shit is all going to continue. He will double down on it after the Bye, I'm sure of it.

The Seahawks are now the 30th ranked team both in converting 3rd downs and allowing 3rd down conversions. Pathetic...
