A lost season

The Seahawks have done so much winning over the last decade that some fans probably forgot how losing feels. Okay, that’s not true, as most 12s are also Mariners fans. Seattle had nine consecutive winning seasons with Pete Carroll as head coach and Wilson under center. However, at the close of the year, the Seahawks were sitting at 5-10. 5-7 with Wilson at quarterback.

Other than losing games, there were other happenings during the regular season. Bobby Wagner set a new record for tackles by a Seattle Seahawks player. Tyler Lockett was the fastest Seahawks receiver to 1,000 yards. COVID outbreaks. Bell cow running back Chris Carson got injured, and one of his replacements, Rashaad Penny, became the first Seahawks back to rush for 300+ yards combined in a two-game span since Shaun Alexander.

D.K. Metcalf was meh. The offensive line was meh as well. Russell Wilson still held on to the ball too long. The defense struggled to start the season. Jamal Adams, who set an NFL record for most sacks by a defensive back, was ineffective most of the season then wound up on IR with a shoulder injury. Wagner said he needs to reevaluate where he wants to be next year. Wilson isn’t sure he’ll be with the team next season as well.

Losing also brings out the worst in us. Most fans have called for Carroll’s head, General Manager John Schneider’s head, Defensive Coordinator Ken Norton’s head, and Wilson to be traded. Losing happens, and 2021 saw the Seattle Seahawks losing more games than they have in a long time. To add insult to injury the team doesn’t have a first-round pick in 2022 either.
