I see you calling out Russell Wilson for taking a sack at the end of the first half, but he got steamrolled with no time to even try to pass.
Pete Carroll is the experienced coach who should have his QB clock it with 25 seconds left and first and goal rather than use his last timeout at end of half. And Pete should also know better than to ice the kicker when he's coming onto the field after a (ATL) timeout. And heck, defense should hold Tony Gonzalez rather than let him get open down the middle - holding penalty = 5 yards, clock still runs during the play. Pete should know to put the ball in the hands of his playmakers in key downs - Lynch or Wilson on 3rd/4th & 1.
And compare the Seahawks at our 48 with 8 seconds left and a timeout to Falcons at midfield. They get 19 yards in 6 seconds by using the middle of the field. We run 15-yard out patterns. How about a pass to the middle of the field with 8 seconds left, heck, even a draw play - we had timeouts left - 15 yards up the gut and we are in FG range at the end - there was no need to run out of bounds. We were two yards behind where ATL was when they hit Gonzalez - where was Zach Miller up the middle? I want to see that play broken down by someone.
Frustrating. I also disagree with assessment that we would've lost to 49ers. If we pull off first a 14-point and then a 20-point comeback, I don't see why we couldn't beat a team we'd beaten by 30 just a few weeks ago. It would've been a Vegas pick'em (SF favored by 3 at home).
This one lands squarely on the shoulders of Pete Carroll. I love the man as a leader, but he really needs coordinators with more attention to detail. One of the oldest head coaches in football let down one of the youngest teams, when his 22-year-old quarterback had already bailed him out. Its a shame we won't get to see what this team could do next week.
