Right, you and your ilk will post garbage from internet trash as proof of insane views, but an actual journalist that spends crazy amounts of time with the team, coaches, and anyone/everyone related to the organization is biased and wrong.And its in his best interest as a journalist to sniff the butts of the team he is covering. Journalism is just a half step above that other millennia old profession.
Heres the pathetic money quote:
Bell clearly lets his emotions cloud his judgment. He spends the rest of the article giving bevell 100% credit for all of wilsons play.
Utter trash article, no one should base their opinions on what a journalist says. He can say what he wants, but the proof is in the pudding.
And this is more of the same stupid you've been spewing for years. Bevell is gone, why didn't they win the SB this year and go undefeated? I mean he was 100% of the problem and now he's gone? See how easy that is?you really should read it again, it was a puff piece.
the great thing is, we can both watch how he does in detroit. my money is on total failure, but you will no doubt continue to kiss his butt despite MORE failure.
"bevell is my friend and all those meany heads are stuuuuuuuupid!!!"
there, i summed it up for you.
They will blame line or lack of receivers....Uncle Bevell has long leash on this board.you really should read it again, it was a puff piece.

No one, NO ONE has said he was the greatest OC in the league. You and your fellow idiots have to push that narrative as part of your stupid.
You simply have no clue how the game of football works. And I seriously mean none. There isn't any such thing as a perfect play caller. None of them calls the perfect play down after down. It isn't possible.
But here's the key. This is the thing you have no chance to comprehend. Not every blown play happens because the call was bad. Sometimes, oftentimes, players fail to execute the play the same way they have practiced. And sometimes great athletes on defense blow up a great play. When you learn about that part of the game get back to us. Until then go back under your rock until next fall.
So Bevell was the head coach to you over that span. Neat.You are right, all those plays jimmy graham was supposed to block the other teams top pass rusher and failed were clearly jimmys fault.
1) I've criticized Bevell and every other entity on that team many times. That's the point you keep missing and aren't capable of even comprehending. The failures on offense have been due to quite a few different things of which Bevell certainly had his hand in. He's gone now and it's still not ideal. Why? Because it wasn't JUST anything he did or didn't do. Some of the gains have been because of the worse issue they had with Tom Cable. That line is better and literally everyone sees that except the blind haters.yep any criticism of bevell is immediately deflected to someone else. the players, pete carroll, john schneider.
can you say one single thing about bevell that is negative?
schneider got the players bevell wanted, not his fault he misused them.
bevell and cable were problem 1 and 1a. somehow its ok to lay blame on cable for the OL but we cant lay the play calling at bevells feet.
why arent we blaming the OL on Schneider? he made all those craptastic picks.
and on that subject, yes they went out and got guys bevell wanted. turdvaris and harvin were HIS GUYS in minnesota. the same can be said about OL, they drafted the guys CABLE wanted. which im sure you will deny as well.
Either stick to your guns, or when finally agreeing with others admit that's what you are now doing. One or the other.
Everyone here has said all along, without fail, there is blame to go around to everyone, including Schneider AND BEVELL. You keep wanting to suggest somehow we are blaming everyone but him, however that hasn't happened once. You and your fellow football retards keep jumping back and forth while we have been rock steady in words and belief.
Schneider hasn't had the same success at drafting since his head of scouting left the team and went to the skins shortly after all that success in building up the team in their early run. And it is discussed literally every year. Where've you been?
How do you NOT get that saying the line was historically bad, the picks haven't been as solid as they were, they failed to use the pieces they did get correctly, etc is on ALL OF THE FUCKING COACHING STAFF. It starts at the top. Carroll is the one setting the tone for that unit and dictating the conservative style. Schneider wasn't hitting on picks. Harvin and Graham were terrible pieces to pick up given they wanted to force them into a game style they weren't best suited for. And you should blame ALL OF THEM for it. That has been said over and over and over again, yet here you are now changing to ask why we aren't blaming them?
Why I said you are a total idiot is not understanding Carroll and Schneider are still running that unit and will have the same blinders on it for whoever they tap at OC. You won't ever get a dynamic offense no matter who calls the plays. They did improve things a lot changing Cable because if you are going to have a run first offense you kind of need to have a line that blocks well for it and doesn't cost you league leading penalty yards every fucking year. That's why removing him was a MUCH bigger piece for moving this offense forward than changing the caller. They still did run on first, run on second, incomplete on 3rd and long way too fucking much. And that's not going to change as long as it's Carroll's offense. Period. Until you get that you will again shortly start calling for this callers head, and then the next one after him.
No, by admitting Schneider and the rest of the staff had their part. That's new for you.agree that bevell and cable were the problem? i never have said otherwise.
Give specifics. You won't because you can't. It's more of your false narrative protecting strawman bullshit. I personally have said many times he had his hand in not using Harvin and Graham reasonably and of course no one has ever said they agreed with every call he made. To you, anyone who says the problem was well beyond a play caller means they loved everything about that play caller. There's a fuck ton of room in between. I've never seen a single person ever say Bevell was perfect. Doesn't stop you from making that claim that all of us have said it.i dont recall you or any of the bevell lovers saying anything negative about him. all i have ever seen is blame shifting, which is what you are still doing.
Big difference between Cable, who was the run game coordinator, having direct input in player acquisition and what input Bevell had. Cable had a LOT more input/control than he should have which was a huge part of the problem with that unit on his watch.no, he hasnt. they have always struggled getting anyone worth a shit in round 1. but, drafting OL was cables domain and they took players he wanted.
And you can't figure out how that correlates with Cable's departure. No, seriously you have no clue.yet without bevell we scored the 2nd most points in team history and led the league in rushing again with a 7th round pick taking most of the carries and wilson running very little.
They threw for like 500y less this year than last.and yet, and yet, and yet the offense is MILES AHEAD of where it was with bevell with lesser talent.
are you really going to argue that is ONLY due to the OL improving? really?

They moved from the 11th ranked offense to the 7th this year. (not exactly miles)
They committed 37 less penalties this year than last. (guess how many of those were linemen related)
We could go on and on with the actual stats, but it would all sadly still go way over your head. Your Bevell derangement syndrome won't allow you to see the truth.
Just because you refuse to pay attention to anything but complete agreement with your outlandish statements, doesn't mean that people didn't think there were things Bevell could've done better.. Anything less than a complete condemnation and declaration that Bevell is the worst coach in the history of the sport has been rejected as criticism and declared to be a supporting statement for Bevell.
Football isn't in a vacuum, and with additional rule changes that made offense more plentiful this season as well as changing personnel, including bringing in players who fit the scheme better than what was being used before - as well as a general improved health of the players on offense overall can all help explain why there was better scoring.
5 points over Bevell's best season isn't exactly miles ahead. Unless you me better than 2016/2017, but then you can't claim that there was lesser talent this season - cause in just about every way the players in 2018 were better than the players of 2017, so your talent claim is just flat out wrong.
About the only thing you can say has definitely improved has been their red zone - and all of that improvement has been due to the improvement in the running game. Don't believe me? Here's Wilson's passing red zone numbers form 2017 and 2018
2017 38-68-258-21-1
2018 37-67-282-24-2
Now, here's the Hawks running red zone numbers (minus Wilson) 2017 and 2018.
2017 37-34-0
2018 67-193-12
I could show the same thing with inside the 10. Everything - including the increase in red zone performance points to the fact that Seattle improved their run game - as Wilson and the passing game were pretty much on par with what they've been in the past, if in a reduced volume.
Schottenheimer has run the offense very similarly to how Bevell ran it, including the frustrating run-run-pass 3 and outs (I believe we led the league in 3 and outs this year). It's the same offense, with very similar play calling styles being implemented. Other than stupid assurtions about our last OC, I have no problems about how our offense was run this season- and if I wasn't sure that similar things won't soon be thrown out against this OC, I wouldn't even care - but I'm sure these same arguments will come up about Shottenheimer as soon as his offense doesn't rank in the top 10 (since they sure as hell happened the entire time Bevell was in the top 10).
Well, since the line has improved to the point that we got better performances out of LT, LG, C, RG, RT than what Bevell had to work with the last 3 years of his tenure, we're looking at nearly half the offense being improved without even looking at any of the skill positions. I mean, didn't PFF have the Seahawks ranked dead last in OL performance last year (we ranked 11th in scoring) and this year they improved to somewhere around 20th? That's a pretty big jump in performance. Solari has done a phenomenal job this season with what we had to work with.
we had a 7th round starter at RB, a wilson that ran sparingly, no doug baldwin for almost the entire year. i think what the offense did this year was incredible and no one else wants to admit it because..... bevell.
i disagree that solari is mostly the reason, dumping bevell and cable is the reason. yes solari is a huge upgrade and i said that on day one, but as far as OC goes I think anyone could have come in here and improved the offense.
no more stagnant scoreless first halves, no more red zone futility, no more settling for FGs constantly, and amazingly we actually scored on an opening drive or two. you cant blame or give credit for ALL of that to the OL.
