No offense but you missed an easy opportunity

Mike McDaniels, Kyle Shanahan, Matt Laflauer, Zac Taylor may all be good coaches. But, none of them have won a superbowl.

Seriously? Your premise is we’re not happy that the Seahawks haven’t won a Super Bowl? That’s some straight up strawman garbage right there.

LaFluer has won 13 games twice and a NFCCG appearance

Taylor has has an AFCCG and a SB appearance

Shanahan has won 13 games twice, had 3 NFCCG appearances and a SB appearance and just orchestrated an absolute tail-kicking on Thursday

McDaniel is on the cusp of joining those as an elite coach

Meanwhile, Pete Carroll hasn’t even sniffed any of those achievements since 2014.

If you honestly, truly, think we should judge those four on “haven’t won a super bowl” you’re out of your mind. Take your over-righteous, preachy attitude about how we fan somewhere else, would you please.

I’ll bite

1-He’s gone terribly soft. I don’t need PFF or All-22 to tell me what my eyes see. He takes bad angles, jogs at times, and in the Saints game last year didn’t even think of trying to dislodge the ball from the TE on the Taysom Hill TD pass. He literally stopped playing before the play was over, and Jordyn Brooks rightly was furious with him on the sidelines over it. I want the Diggs that was a guided missile, a bundle of muscly shoulder that would punish anyone who thought of roaming into his area, or stopped running backs dead in their tracks.

2-He has turned into a show pony. He’s this super-present social media presence and always available for press conferences. The team has even joked that he’s their PR guy. He claps back at anyone suggesting he’s not very good. Last year he shrugged of defensive struggles by saying “we know what we have to fix and they’re easy fixes.” Right after that, they were trucked by the Niners in their playoff game to the tune of 505 YARDS. And most egregiously, he showboated after intercepting the ball IN LIVE PLAY twice last year. Celebrate on your own time, would you please Quandre?

3-His whole year last year was dreadful. He was injured badly the year before, and it seemingly took him a whole season to get his game back. But the Seahawks - having resigned him to top dollar - could not even think of benching him. When he finally had those interceptions down the stretch, Pete Carroll committed a Freudian slip and said “Quandre has come alive” with his play. The implication that he was not playing well at all up to that point.

4-“You don’t know what a safety does on each given play so you can’t judge him” ? Well the Seahawks defense is 20th in points allowed, 23rd in passing yards allowed and 25the in overall yards allowed through 9 games. If anyone has dreams of seriously contending in the playoffs, that is not good enough. The defense as a whole is not even NFL-average. I’m sick of hearing people say Diggs is better than you think, you don’t know X’s and O’s so you can’t understand how good he is. If he’s so good, why is this defense overall so poor? Why do we rarely if ever see game-changing plays from him?

5-Most importantly, the cost. It is completely justifiable to compare the overall stats, Digg’s personal stats and look at his contract and come to the conclusion that they are not getting their money’s worth.

I attended Diggs’ first Seahawks game in SF on MNF (the OT thriller).

He was a revelation. He was hitting everything that moved. He had a pass defensed and an interception with a 44-yard return.

That’s the Diggs I want. And I’d happily defend a healthy contract for that if we could get it even 6-8 games a year, and competent play for the other 9-11. Unfortunately we are not getting it.

Cowboys buck the NFL trend of wearing road whites / dark at home.

That’s what made this possible.

And now on primetime, gives a chance for the push to make them permanent even more of a megaphone.
