After that beating yesterday, making the playoffs might be a struggle, but if we could change the outcome of ONLY 2 plays this year, we would be sitting at 8-3 instead of 6-5. Those 3 losses would be blowouts (Rams, Ravens, Whiners). How would everyone feel about Waldron, Pete, and Geno if that were the case and everything else remains the same?
The 2 plays: Week 6 vs Bengals - 44-seconds left from CIN 8yd line, 3rd&8. Instead of an Incomplete pass, Geno hits Lockett for a TD. Seahawks win 20-17 against Bengals.
Week 11 vs Rams - 3-seconds left from LAR 37yd line, 3rd &8. Instead of a missed 55yd FG, Meyers nails it and Seattle wins 19-17 against Rams.
Change the outcome of these 2 plays and Seahawks are 8-3, 2-2 in division, but their 3 losses are blowouts (30-13 vs Rams, 37-3 @ Ravens, 31-13 vs Whiners). How do you feel about this team going into the next 3 games? How do you feel about them making playoffs? Are people still questioning Waldron, Geno, and Pete?
I would feel the same since I was saying this before the Niners game.
I was expecting the meltdown this sub is going through if we got hammered like we did through this difficult stretch. We are a very flawed team but with potential and Reddit is always going to be filled with the hottest of hot takes.
If we win next week we’ll get a lot of the reverse “told you so” and neither side is completely right. Yes we could hit reset to try and be a better team but this could easily go south too and a lot of people calling for Pete’s head will handle back to back 3 win seasons even worse than this.
