I don't know if there is one specific problem with this team, but it's become clear to me what some of the top candidates are.
Defensively it has become obvious that Kris Richard is just not Dan Quinn. There have been too many collapses this season with the same core group of players. Sure, Cary Williams has not played well but there is more depth on the D-line than there has been for awhile. They should still give Richard a chance to right the ship, but if the defense continues to get torched against any team with a decent QB the front office seriously needs to consider letting him go. The Kam holdout had some sort of effect on this team, I don't fully know how to explain it but it did. If there is any bit of evidence that he is going to be just as difficult next off season he probably needs to go as well. We know Bennett will at least be reasonable if he wants a new contract so maybe he stays on. Irvin....IDK what kind of money he's going to want but my gut tells me it's going to be too much.
Offensively everyone here knows Bevel is stubborn. He committed to how he wants to run this offense the second he got here and he's not going to change it. I have similar feelings about him as I do about Richard. Give him a chance to get things in order. Let him know that they need to change the offense a bit. Quit pretending Graham is a blocker and start lining him up at WR. Quit it with the power run game, it doesn't work with this shit offensive line. As some have mentioned, open up the playbook and let Russell be Russell. They only ever seem to do this when they're down big or in situations where they have to score with very little time left. When this has happened and they have changed things up it's been moderately successful. If Bevel refuses to mix things up a bit, let him go as well.
As far as the draft goes Lynch is going to be done after this season so grab a RB with a upper round pick but focus the rest of the draft on O-line and replacing the people at the positions where you're losing guys on D. Oh, and fire Tom Cable. I'm giving Bevel and Richard a chance to save their jobs but Cable is a joke a needs to go.
Oh and I am aware how many of these games Seattle has been in and I'm aware that they could easily have won 3 or so more games if they had just closed them out. But just from the eye test this team does not look the same as they have the past two years. It's sloppy, uninspired football. I'm also aware that I'm proposing letting a lot of people go here. But we all remember how quickly this front office figured out that Jim Mora Jr. was not a good fit and how quickly they let him go. That whole deal turned out alright in the end.
TL;DR Cave is an armchair GM and needs to STFU.
