Hard to believe there are still skeptics out there. Pete and John have shown they are arguably the top personnel tandem in the league at building a Super Bowl winner from scratch and in a timely manner. Now they gotta go out and prove that they are just as adept at keeping them on top through the firestorm coming up in the next couple years.
When people find out they've been preparing for this all along, they shouldn't be surprised but they will be. No doubt Pete and John have had their contingency plan in place all along.

In Pete and John we trust. Amen to that!

Agreed. I enjoy seeing other teams fans, national media or the Seahawks biggest soccer mom fan since 2012 run around and act like the sky is falling. Makes me lol. It tells me a few things; A) they don't know much about football B) they don't know how this team is constructed C) they do not realize how solid Pete's system is.

People spew stuff like "well they lost Clemons and Bryant to FA" when in fact they were cut while under contract. Well calculated moves to free up cap space and also open up opportunities for younger guys like Pete and John have always done.

People don't realize that their success is more about the system and finding specific players that fit their system than it is about highly talented, high-round draft pick, college super stars. There are of course exceptions. You have your franchise QB, your all-pro corner and safety but for the most part it's finding guys that are unique to their system that get over looked by other teams.

Look at McDonald for example. He was a guy that racked up 5.5 sacks last season as a situational pass rushing DT. He hadn't recorded a single sack in his 3 previous years in the league. He went off and got a nice little payday with Tampa. That's just once example. The team is full of guys like McDonald.

Not sweat here. We've got a ton of guys from last years rookie class that have barely scratched the surface plus this years draft coming up. Not to mention we are still one of the deepest teams in the league in terms of guys that fit the system and are capable to step in and play. Examples like Lane, Maxwell, Shead in the SB just to name a few.

OK that was clever. Yet it remains the rolling eyes at the koolade consumed by some here. I readily admit Petey has had a great run at building a contender/championship team though the dismantling has begun. The great run at personnel acquisition can't last. OCs will improve at exploiting your defense and your offense is not dominant. Plus the rest of the division has improved and repeating as next season champion is quite elusive. Petey hasn't invented anything. He does what most every successful team does except recently he's done it better. It won't last long.

So Pete and John basically bumbled their way to this point and basically built a Super Bowl winner in spite of themselves. Doesn't matter that half the league is gonna be emulating them and have learned that defense and the run still trumps the crowd-pleasing passing game or that you can win with DBs built like linebackers and a short QB.
Doesn't matter that players like Clemons and McDonald, fringe players before coming here, reach levels no one ever knew they could. That doesn't mean it has anything to do with the system that's in place or that it might be more efficient than your average team.
None of this will last. John Schneider is no different than Matt Millen. Pete Carroll is no different than Mike Nolan. Paul Allen is no different than Ken Behring. Wilson's at best an average QB with no game. Richard Sherman is a so-so DB who can be exploited. He's only good because of ET. ET's only good because of Brandon Mebane. Mebane's only good because it's raining.

The last four years have been a total fluke and it won't last. Who's drinking the kool aid?

The best thing we did was not resign the entire roster, thus ending up with a bloated cap and players that had to be played.

The productivity was born out of the "next man up" philosophy. Those players that signed elsewhere were a part of a great team, yet they were not irreplaceable.

Will we be fine? You bet your ass we will be.

You're drunk on the koolade. Petey followed a well established formula necessitated by the salary cap. Petey didn't invent anything. He did it well. Spectacularly well. You claim it will continue simply because Petey alone can do it. Thats serious koolade. Defense and run……Petey invented that? Ravens 2012 offense was on par with 2013 Seahawks yet won with a much lesser ranked defense. 2007(?)Giants offense was on par with 2013 Seahawks yet also won with a much lesser ranked defense. No doubt Ravens first super bowl winning team did it with a dominant defense as well as the first Bucs super bowl winning team. Therefore it is abundantly clear Petey didn't invent anything.

So you say players played better on a super bowl winning team? Thank you Captain Obvious.

You're right it won't last. But not because it was a fluke as you yet again emoted all over yourself in defense of Petey. Petey did it better than everyone else. I've always stated that. However the NFL has shown that such continuity at the pinnacle does not exist. Too many factors in place to prevent it. By design. But you never know. Your position demands a glass of koolade while mine doesn't.

Yes line them up and the Rams will knock them down.

Although Pete didn't invent the term " coaching philosophy " he does have a very distinct way of operating his team . He talked about not getting time to see it through in New England and the Jets and then finally being allowed to see it through at USC . Paul Allen is the hero in the situation because he saw in PC a guy with a formula the he felt could work and he took a chance , it paid off . Paul Allen and his Vulcan sports group are highly recognized as tops in the world . I believe 2 of his franchises are up for awards on the business side of things so it's not a fluke , it starts at the top with the Seahawks .

Actually that goes for 90% of all arguments between teams. And 100% between political factions.

So you're expecting a circle jerk of pure Seahawk love?

A forum of fans just kissing each others ass is boring as shit.

Just my humble opinion.
