What Led to Seattle Seahawks Losing NFC West Lead, Missing Playoffs in 2024?

[@CoryVB133]

Nice outlook you guys! I enjoy listening to this each day. My son and I will be cheering hard this Sunday watching the Seahawks play hard. Go Hawks!

[@CoryVB133]

My 2 year old son and I went to the LA vs Cardinals game rocking our Hawks jerseys and cheering on the Cardinals. A sad ending 😢….

[@earthatom7]

They should've kept running the damn ball...

[@nativemrv19722]

I never understand why the Falcons are still in it after a lose at 8-8 and the Seahawks coming off a win with a 9-7 record going home ??! Don't understand it your wins and loses should decide your fate..

[@georgebennett8185]

I’m still optimistic we can beat Rams and end w a 10-7 record to build from.

[@Rad_Pug]

The offensive line was unacceptable.

[@frankj6631]

Dang Rob, I typically agree with you, but you're wrong for putting any blame on the fans for the 6 home loses... In this economy fans have to make decisions to go watch the Seahawks lose at home or catch up on some bills and anyone calling out the fans like it's their fault this team went 3-6 at home with a straight face is full of it.... Hey Rob, You know who gets paid to play on the field in seattle?.. The seahawks player & coaches and they make a heck of a lot more money than these fans you're blaming here... I don't see any fans linning up and taking snaps, So Rob slowdown and realize the players & coaches are 100% to blame for their record... And Rod, You can't say the record is because the others teams fans are in Seattle because the seahawks road record is much better....

[@Brownie3623]

Rob, ngl that take about our WR not performing to their pay level is absurd considering we had a known diddy associate in Laken Tomlinson on our line

[@davidmoore2699]

An NFL team will never be better than it is in the trenches. No strength at an other position can make up for poor line play

[@johnx6020]

Wait until Geno starts next year giving this team a 0% chance of making the playoffs again.

[@johncheney6823]

Generally speaking, it takes new coaches 2-3 seasons to establish their systems. I would say Pete Caroll established/emphasized the 12th man (I don't remember Holmgren saying over and over, the 12th man really showed up). We were spoiled by Pete one of the most amazing coaches I have seen in my lifetime. I think Grubb's offense along with the offensive line made it difficult for Geno to shine. When you have a below-average offensive line you need to run plays that don't expose the weaknesses of the offensive line over and over. I'd go more West Coast offense and get the ball out 2.7 seconds (dink and dunk) mostly an efficient short-yardage game (and run the ball too). What I saw was constant stress on the offensive line with long-developing plays. Another words try to manage the offensive lines energy so they might have the ability to block for an explosive play when you really need them. Geno early in the season was amazing at dealing with the pressure but you can't ask a player to endure that much pressure every game (you'll fry them). See Jarred Goff for a quarterbacks who's most effective when he releases the ball in under 2.5 seconds and has a great offensive line (Geno beat him last year with less). Tom Brady didn't always have great offensive lines but he was always top 5 at getting the ball out (averaging about 2.8 seconds) If the offensive line isn't totally gassed from having to block long developing plays they'll perform better when you need it.

A rare fan with good insight. I can’t stand the Geno slander. Yeah, he wasn’t perfect but was asked to carry way too much of the load

[@johncheney6823]

@@Perfumery_by_Sabin Thanks! Before free agency (I am dating myself) they used to say an offensive line would take 3 years to gel. That's pretty hard to do these days....

[@Jason-lk9yi]

​​@@Perfumery_by_Sabin Geno has a worse TD/INT ratio this year as a 34 year old veteran than all rookie QB's average TD/INT ratio since 2010. Since 2010 all rookie QB's with at least 12 starts have averaged 14.6 games, 17.5 TD's and 12.4 INT's. The Geno slander is warranted.

[@jdocean1]

Rams get it done ✅

[@janpeterson1206]

A bunch of SEAHAWKS ROOKIE FANS ON THIS PAGE!

[@EveryKnee]

It's rookie level content

[@badass1g]

We need two new qb, fire woolen, let Lockett retire, dump all our extra money on a rookie qb and O line. Geno will never get us there! Hell I’d be happy to see Wilson come back to Seattle and make home games great again! I never once even seen Wilson be negative let alone be crying or slamming things on the sideline. He was like the team cheerleader, Geno doesn’t have those vibes at all.

[@thehawksnest206podcast7]

Fire woolen?

[@Smokey525]

Have you seen Mr. Unlimited play recently? You think he will thrive with our O-Line. You do remember the last 2 seasons he was here with a horrible O-Line ? SMH

[@danielrussell6615]

Are you shitting ​on mt unlimited rightnow?@@Smokey525

[@Jason-lk9yi]

​​​@@Smokey525 I remember when he led the NFL in TD passes behind the 29th ranked pass blocking O-line in 2017. I also remember that his second to last season with Seattle was better than Geno's best season of his career, while Wilson's last season in Seattle was better than Geno's 2nd best season of his career...... From 2017 through his last season in Seattle Wilson averaged 33 TD's and 8 INT's, in other words, Wilson's last 5 seasons averaged better numbers than Geno's best season of his career at 30 TD's 11 INT's.....

[@Jason-lk9yi]

​@@Smokey525 Wilson is still better than Geno this year, in 6 less games Wilson only has 2 less passing TD's than Geno at 15 TD's and 5 INT's to Geno's 17 TD's and 15 INT's. All rookie QBs since 2010 with at least 12 starts have averaged a better TD/INT ratio than Geno has this year at 17.5 TD's to 12.4 INT's..... Geno is a bum.

[@harveyharveyness8773]

Too many weak spots-total lack of consistency-they are trapped in "seahawk sydrome"- look promising for a couple of games then stink it up for a couple-some of their starters wouldn't be starting any where else-much work to be done-they are at least 1 or 2 years away

[@Smokey525]

Grubb is an offensive innovator but his stubbornness to run kills this team. We should cut bait and not give a 2nd season.

[@ExaltedSeahawksFan]

Offensive innovator?! Lay off the weed!

[@stevenvanevery7252]

I got a new theory... maybe grubb let geno sling the ball so much so he could see what kind of QB he really had?. Now we know.... hes not the guy

[@jasonjames6637]

I like that take

[@johncheney6823]

Haven't you ever gotten stressed out on a job and the management keeps pushing you to work harder and your work quality begins to suffer? Pete Caroll(I do like McDonald) was a master manager with Russell. Having seen what the players go through, most of us would crumble...

[@sadams6663]

Fire Grub, Fix OL, Let Go Geno

[@jamesbutterfield7729]

They defeated the bears... "SIX - THREE"... WTF.. 🤔.. there's fault in the players... But ultimately... Management has to take responsibility. I'm not going to bash anyone... But do you want a NFL rookie OC, cutting his teeth with a 35 year old QB.. 🤔...??? They know what to fix... Question is : will they fix it...???

[@derwolfpack3599]

Geno always plays like a rookie.

[@brianmyers4444]

Yeah right….

[@Smokey525]

Moronic statement right there.

[@Jason-lk9yi]

​@@brianmyers4444 Well this year he played worse than a rookie. Since 2010 all rookie QB's with at least 12 starts have averaged 14.6 games, 17.5 TD's and 12.4 INT's. Geno has a worse TD/INT ratio than the average ratio of Rookie QB's over the last 14 years....

[@brianmyers4444]

@@Jason-lk9yi ok one stat….but rookies don’t throw 70% or 4000 yards….and ints are fully a qb stat…..

[@Jason-lk9yi]

@@brianmyers4444 That just goes to show how Geno crumbles when it matters most, redzone. Everyone wants to blame the O-line as an excuse for Geno, yet that O-line was good enough for Geno to post those yards and completion percentage, yet with that same O-line Geno is the worst redzone QB in the NFL over the last 2 years. Think about that, back to back seasons being the worst redzone QB in the NFL, and that's with different HC's, different OC's and a different O-line. 14 years of stats for rookie QB's averaging a better TD/INT ratio than a 34 year old vet is pretty damning.

Y'all can sit on the couch next to my team now.😂😂

Damn. You're right. Lol
