He said we .. he's not gonna throw Bevell under the Bus ...
Lol.
Oh but when Bevell said the call was on him... That was gospel? He couldn't have been falling on the sword along with Wilson and Carroll.

OMG .. Dude STFU ... Bevell already said without question he made the call .. Pete said WE because he's not gonna go to the press and say Bevell FUCKING blew it!!!!
Dude, fuck you you whiny bitch.
My problem is not blaming Bevell, he deserves it. It's playing blind man to the fact that others were involved and deserve blame too.
It's hilarious how everyone involved takes responsibility and they're just covering Bevell. Bevell takes responsibility and it take any heat at all off the others.

That wasn't Carroll. That was obviously Bevell since it was a negative thing that happened.The biggest fuckup that Pete should be getting roasted for is clock management on that drive. Thus needing to pass to keep the timeout.
Nobody says BOO about that though.
That ol' hindsight dealio again.
MMQB said:On my tour of NFL camps, I’ve asked five men—two coaches, three quarterbacks, anonymously—what they thought of the play call and the execution of the play. The reaction has been mixed. Interestingly, not a single one supported running a power rush by Lynch against the New England front with three 300-pound-plus defensive tackles filling the gaps. One quarterback said, “Then it would have been third-and-goal from the 2 or 3, and you’d burn your last timeout. So you’d be there with what, how many seconds left? [About 20.] And you’d probably be farther away than you were on second down.”
And now this topic has reached double digit pages. Again. It seems like the same discussion/pointless exercise in the same people repeating the same arguments comes up at least once a year (usually when the offense doesn't look as good as people think it should) and each time, it seems to go on for at least 10 pages with no one having changed their mind by the end of it. The last couple of years have had the added wrinkle of discussing "The play" for half the thread, but it's remained the same basic discussion.
Oddly enough, it's never resulted in Bevell's termination and it's a discussion that usually gets put on the backburner once the offensive line starts to play better and the rest of the offense is able to do its job better because the offensive line started to play better.
Here's a suggestion for the next time this topic gets brought up (let's not kid ourselves... as long as Bevell is on the coaching staff, it's going to get brought up): The first reply to it should be this - -. That way, everyone who chooses to continue the discussion after that will be reminded of what they're about to get into and maybe choose to just not get into it.

Jesus Christ! it's like Lord of the Flies on this forum...... AND WE ARE 3-1 SO FAR THIS SEASON.
I propose a motion for the Seahawks forum....
Anytime someone starts a thread or makes disparaging comments about our OC after a WIN, they need to get their AVI changed for a week. Here is one that comes to mind:
If the Seahawks lose in any week, then the forum is open for the bitching and moaning. Fair is fair.
Enough of the God damned bickering! We are Seahawks fans and despite the posts of doom and gloom, we are doing quite well. Save your hate for the rest of the NFC West.
Anyone second my motion?
I just don't get why people are still hung up on it now to the point they want to call for him to be fired using that as an excuse. Graham, lynch, and a few other injuries last year combined with Kam's hold out really are what held them for making their goals. Outside of that they have been totally outstanding for the entire time Bevell has been here. To obsess over one play from years ago that Carroll has said he made the call for a pass play on is just insane. It is. It's the definition of insanity. At this point it doesn't matter in the slightest who called it, what was actually called, who failed at what part of it, etc. It's one damned play out of thousands. And we have one of the top offenses in the league brewing right now. You'd have to actually wish for this team to lose to want him gone now. There is no rational platform for change when you are doing really really well.I dunno, there's a couple of posters in this thread who've admitted that their opinion changed with reading more stuff about 'the play.' I can meet people half way. Like I say, I'm not radically opposed to getting rid of Bevell, but I just want them to HAVE to hire someone who is better. Which means doing it after the season.
Boogie I disagree with on this topic, but I tend to agree with him more than I don't. I have mad respect for MKHawk, and we've argued about the play ad nauseum.
I think there's lots of room for people to agree, it's just that people can be pretty emotional about their teams. It's like arguing religion.

It's a pointless argument that is entirely irrelevant and at this point moot given what is happening right now today.
