Disappointing is a massive understatement.
It’s sickening having to listen to have great and amazing the Mike MacDonald Seahawks are.
And you know what sucks? They’re an excellent team that has next to no weaknesses in all 3 phases.
You look back at some of the moves we’ve made, from letting EJ walk, to Cooper Kupp (even though I don’t totally disagree with that one but he also just sealed the game against us, ironically).
Our DBs are a disaster and so are our special teams. I don’t love the LBs we have either.
We have draft capital, we’ve got cap space. But games like these just sting. I had a bad feeling once we muffed that punt. It was an encapsulation of what has been wrong with this team all year, losing games we should’ve won because we simply aren’t that good on the other phases of the ball.
We can only hope McVay learns from this. I still believe McVay and Stafford should be 2x SB champs but I also thought this was the year we’d prove that.
In short, this entire season was a missed opportunity. Greatness on offense mean nothing when your defense and special teams are a major liability.
