Found this pretty interesting

Total Yards per Game
2023 322.9 (21st) - 2024 332.2 (14th)

Passing Yards Per Game
2023 230.0 (14th) -2024 236.5 (8th)

Rushing Yards per Game
2023 92.2 (28th) -2024 95.7 (28th)

Interceptions
2023 12 (13th) -2024 16 (26th)

The Offense basically improved in every facet except for the QB throwing interceptions.

THIS. And I was actually thinking last night, and just didn't have the energy to post. Think back to the throws that were INTs. I don't remember one single time hating the play, or wishing they had run it. I often times wondered what the fuck DK was doing or what the fuck Geno was thinking. But I don't remember too many times when we turned it over and I thought the play calling sucked.

I would have liked them to run more from the spread formation, because we couldn't win at point of attack, but that is about my only grief. Not bad for a first time playcaller. Oh, and all of these people high on the Detroit Lion O Line coach for the next OC? I thought it was important that you have experience calling plays in the NFL? My fear with the Lions OL coach is he isn't going to have a CLUE what to do when he doesn't have that O Line. And JS aint building anything CLOSE to that O Line.

It was a weakness of Grubb at times. Seemed to call plays as if he had Penix and that Line and those playmakers. Sark did that at Washington too. He would admit after games I didn't know what to do, because at USC? I would have called those two dive plays and we would have been first and ten! Here we were third and six! But? He learned. Why? He was given the chance.

We are looking into the Saints OC. Yah, is he bringing Taysom Hill?

PC fired Jeremy Bates after a single season, it's interesting he brought Bates with him from USC, they had a history. The offense was pretty bad that first season, that was a legitimate issue but some of that seems kinda familiar
.
Seattle's offense was a season-long struggle. It started in training camp when offensive line coach Alex Gibbs abruptly retired just days before the season opener. A lack of continuity was a common theme for Seattle's offensive line, which went through 10 different incarnations during the season

It all led to a general inability to run, which was the biggest flaw. The Seahawks averaged just 89 yards per game rushing, 31st in the league, and barely avoided being the worst running team in franchise history. Bates was also criticized for some of his calls in the passing game, despite putting together an excellent game plan in the Seahawks' upset of New Orleans where quarterback Matt Hasselbeck threw for a playoff career-high four touchdowns

89 yards rushing back then would be like 55 in todays game!

Right or wrong, Brock Huard was pointing out that there's a very high turnover for OCs throughout the league. The really good ones
get hired as head coaches.

No one is saying there isn't a high turnover. The debate is did he show enough to warrant being fired after one year? No one around here is going to push the envelope. A quick glance at the stats, the O Line efficiency rates, etc would seem to indicate that Grubb deservers another year, just like everyone else on the staff is getting. Instead? No one pushes it because JS is apparently above questioning. Hell, Calkins makes the statement, we finally have someone print something critical of a local pro team? And most in here can only talk about how Calkins sucks!

The Seahawks had 35 more offensive plays in '24 than in '23. If you adjust for that then the '23 team would have averaged more yards per game.

If ifs and nuts were candy and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas. THIS version of the Seahawks was top ten in the NFL in passing yards,nothing to do with last year's team, how they stacked up against the other teams in the NFL THIS year. THIS OC got his ass fired after one year for it. THIS team was one of the worst in the league up front, and the guy that has consistently built a horseshit O Line fired his fifth Offensive Coordinator, and fourth in less than a decade.

Stats are a bitch. Good Lord. Read a fucking game thread. Read this forum. The complaining about the O Line and a poor decision making QB are endless. The ONLY reason that isn't still the topic of discussion is because JS gave you all something more shiny to look at. Will all be fixed by yet another OC. Has always worked in the past right? I mean, it must have, because the guy that keeps shoving that shit down our throat still has a job.

I just don't think comparing yardage says much. The offense was roughly as good as last year's based on yardage. More advanced stats might shed more light on things.
