Pete Carroll Postgame Press Conference – Wild Card Round

1 costly mistake we will learn from lets nail this draft 💚💙 Go Hawks ‼️

While it may be a disappointing end to the season let’s look at the positives. We weren’t even supposed to be playoff contenders, let alone in the playoffs. We have great rookies that should only get better with time. Now we have two first round picks to improve our team even further. It’s a bright future here in Seattle.

Tough loss, but the future of this team is really exciting and I can’t wait for it. #5 overall pick baby!! 💚💙💚💙

No one expected the Seahawks to make the playoffs this season and we did!! Proud of my team and what they proved against all odds. Well done Seahawks and Geno! The underdog made the playoffs against every odds. And Russ didn’t.

Thank you pete and the seahawks it was in amazing season 👏

Can’t wait for next season

No matter what happened earlier this season I am so freakin proud of our team and fighting trough adversity. We are expiring a true championship team.

It was an AMAZING season! We went to Germany AND played in the playoffs!👀🥰🎉🎊🙏🏾💕 Never doubt this team.🥰 WE LOVE YOU COACH CARROLL!🥰🙏🏾💕

Congrats to coach Pete and the entire team for a terrific season!

Damn whoever takes Pete’s spot in the future is gonna have some huge shoes to fill I remember the king dome days when we couldn’t buy a winning record….

Gotta nail this next draft and not be so cheap during free agency. We need more DUDES on this team. I’d say we only have 2 for sure dudes in Dk and Lockett with the possibility of Woolen and Walker right there with them. We need more studs on our defensive line and linebackers along with some monsters at guard and center. Great season guys now let’s get back to work John and Pete and make us a legitimate threat next year.

Love ya Pete! Awesome rebuild year sir! Thank you what a ride .we’re exited for this year for shure! Go Hawks!

Pete is an amazing coach keeping his team competitive for so many years. With the loss of Wilson, no one thought the Seahawks would have a successful season. The years has taken its toll but Pete still loves his team and has the charisma to motivate his players. See you next season coach.

I don’t know if it’s a youth thing, or coaching, or what, but all the missed tackles today, I thought, were incredibly frustrating and the difference in the game. All of their guys seemed like they busted through at least two or three of our tackle attempts before we could finally stop them. Or not stop them, as was often the case.

They gave it their all against a team that they’d have to play perfect against the Niners to have a shot. The Seahawks had 6 rookies in the starting lineup with little experience. Only gets better👍

Thank you for a surprising season, Coach. See you next year. Go Hawks!

Im just glad we were able to get these guys a lil bit of playoff experience. We got some young dogs that are gonna get really good with that 2nd year jump. Along with a whole lotta draft picks and players returning from injury, we gotta bright future. This team wasn’t even supposed to be here so imagine wat we can be next year and so on

I’m extremely proud of the team’s effort this year. They exceeded expectations and nobody could’ve predicted how well they did without Russell. I am so optimistic for the future and the direction of this team. Thank you and let’s come back stronger next season! Go Hawks!

As a Seahawk fan for damn near 20+ years I can seriously without bias say we have had 3 main contributing problems since 2014 for us to not be a DOMINATING team, not just winning team. First is the O-line has always been shitty, point blank. We took hand me downs and men on their last leg at the position plus sadly tried to experiment with TE’s and basketball players to turn them into the position. With no o-line our QB was constantly under pressure causing unmanageable stress on the game and player, ask Russ, hell just ask Andrew Luck. Secondly, Play-Calling, on both Offense and Defense(since Quinn Left) there seems to be a lack of common sense. If we have a shitty o-line why are we trying run thru the gap between center and guard? Why are we surprised when we get 1-2 or negative yards? Why would we try to create a pocket for a QB when we know it will collapse? You have to know your line sucks you watch the same film everyone else does right. How are we surprised when RBs get hurt so often, when we can easily pitch the ball or run outside tackle or TE? Its common sense, play action or bootleg away from the rush, go to heavy set line with extra TEs when you wanna run. Who cares if someone knows what you’re doing, theres only but so many plays that come out of the backfield and the QBs hands. Even if they think they know they still can’t stop it. Then Defense since Quinn left….we play SOOOOO much zone we can make the most obscure unknown bottom tier QB look like Mahomes or Brady. So much zone and open space leaving SOOOO much open middle field. You don’t believe me look at it, check the stats of backup/lower string QBs against us. They put up crazy yard numbers, and hardly are sacked. Get out of the damn zone!. Thirdly the last MAIN contributor, I say main because from these 3 branch/begat more problems like culture of not running the score up and playin an even softer zone when we are up allowing a team to come back at the end of the game. Thirdly theres the GM. Schneider I love you but all these years you keep buy bargain players and they suck OR we don’t properly use them i.e. Jimmy Graham came and we made him a BLOCKING TE, are you serious!?! There are even more whiffs at O-Line that you’ve traded or paid for but honestly what really is unnerving was how you discard key players without giving just do. We got the money and to be honest its not even Schneiders money but you’d swear it was comin out of his check. With how teams structure to win immediately it’s crazy how since 2015 we’ve been structured to stay “Meh”. The GM pays Russ an exorbitant amount of money but you don’t pay for an O-Line to stop him from having to scramble for his life. It’s like buying a Bugatti and saying “Nah we don’t need to buy insurance for that”. WTF?!? I was glad Russ left, because it honestly, and any REAL Seahawk fan will say we were gonna get him hurt and he deserves to find the help he needs. He earned that much. I say that to say this, football isn’t rocket science its a game we all can play and simulate in games. The one thing in this sport that the layman can understand is it’s an emotional momentum driven game. If these 3 above things don’t get addressed, properly, the problems that stem from them will constantly take the momentum from us, the wind from our sails and no one will truly ever fear us.(and by fear I mean see us on their schedule and be like, thats an L). I may get bashed by fans for this but I hope someone for the organization actually sees it since its on their media teams channel, sometimes we just gotta be real. Hey, I’m just sayin…✌🏿

This turned out to be one of my favorite Seahawk teams of all time. Fun to watch. Pete is awesome.

The team did so outstanding considering all of the fresh blood that was out on the field.
There were plays we surprised them with, and vice versa. This is going to be one of the hardest teams to overcome next year. I’m glad I’ll watch them get to the playoff’s and Super Bowl for 2023. GO HAWKS!!
