It's easy, and only takes a few moments.They're really entering the phase now where they have to start paying for the production that they've been riding. Wilson will get paid, Lynch will get paid. They have most of the secondary locked up but the second CB is still a question mark for them with Maxwell hitting FA. If they pay Wilson and Lynch, they have very little money to work with. Maxwell could very well leave...
On the other hand, they are the ones who drafted a lot of these guys, so clearly they are doing great with talent evaluation. Another couple good drafts could keep them where they are. So it's hard to discount them just due to having to pay guys, but the level of production they were getting vs. what those guys were making (especially at QB) was really ridiculous and won't happen again for them.
Keeping the ship right is the big issue. Sherman, Lynch and Wilson seemed mature after the game, which is good from a leadership standpoint, but a lot of the other guys were ripping the team. Guys were fighting, getting ejected. Coaches ripping players. It's not a good look. You lose your DC now as well, which may not be a huge deal since Carroll is more about that side anyway, but it will still be an adjustment. It could be a rocky year for Seattle, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were all good and back at it in two years.
He was a yard away from his second straight super bowl win....easily second best coach after BB.
I think that they will pay him. I think he probably has one, maybe two elite seasons left, but after that he will likely lose his effectiveness very quickly.I dont know if they will pay Lynch and if they do I think it will be a mistake, Lynch will be 29 next season and every RB starts to break down at this point. Lynch has a lot of mileage on his legs and he is going to want guaranteed money
That's a stretch. One team goes 8-8 and the other comes up a play short of back to back SBsPats under Carroll were well down this path too.
I think next year they'll be one of the best teams in the NFC, but won't happen to be the actual champions.
they can just spend all next season bad mouthing him as "unnamed sources" and maybe draft a Running backI think that they will pay him. I think he probably has one, maybe two elite seasons left, but after that he will likely lose his effectiveness very quickly.
The issue is that Lynch will probably refuse to play for what his current contract is worth. He wants more money. Seattle can't dump him, the fans would riot, especially since it's now public belief that HE would have delivered them another ring if only the coaches had the intelligence to hand the ball off (a sentiment I think is stupid.)
So, in the end, they will almost be forced to pay up, IMO.
Mm, they could, but they tried that tactic this year, only to end up relying on him down the stretch run and making the fans fall ever deeper in love with him.they can just spend all next season bad mouthing him as "unnamed sources" and maybe draft a Running back
Remember the NFL is a copycat league. The Patriots showed how to beat that defense.
To many people have said they are what they are and don't make adjustments.
The offense wasn't that great either take away those 4 long pass plays and they did virtually nothing in the passing game.
I don't see them getting to the superbowl next year just my opinion.
I still wonder why Russell Wilson seems to be getting a free pass in all this... He's the one who threw the freaking ball! Call or no, he still has to throw it in the right place.
