Mike Macdonald: “I’m Proud Of Our Guys’ Fight” | Postgame Press Conference – Week 9

1. No shade to Mike here, but, even more so in retrospect, one really begins to appreciate how generous Pete Carroll was about what he shared after games, they way he got truly fired up for what his players did specifically, and how much detail he recalled from the game. It really made a big difference and kept fans feeling really connected to the team.

2. The darling Rams got so many BS calls. The product is getting unwatchable. Fans aren’t going to the games because the rigging is beicoming blatantly obvious. WHY HAVE MEGASCREENS IF YOU ARENT GOING TO SHOW REPLAYS DURING CRUCIAL MOMENTS?

3. BENCH GENO! I’ve been a Geno supporter for as long as he’s been on our team, but the amount of turnovers he commits in the red zone is ridiculous. The guy drives the field and then breaks your heart with decisions that high school quarterback would make. A bad high school quarterback at that. What particularly frustrated me was last week when we were only down seven points we had the ball and Gino Smith throws the ball at a player inciting a 15 yard penalty making it third and 20 instead of third and five. We had a chance to drive the field score a touchdown tie the game against the bills.. and instead we’re faced with a third and 20 don’t convert and have to punt the rest of that game is history. I just say if you want to throw a temper tantrum like a toddler then you should get put in time out like a toddler. I would’ve benched him so fast after that if that’s the leader of my team, you can go ahead and take a seat on the bench, buddy..

4. The defense played great special teams were great. The offense was moving. The ball was fine, but the two turnovers in the red zone causes the game. Gino Smith himself single-handedly lost us the game… it’s on him. I was so excited to see the Seahawks finally stopped the run. and we had all the momentum going into overtime that when we drive the field kick the field goal take the lead. Keep your momentum, kick off to the other team and force Matt Stafford to make bad decisions we didn’t go for the field goal and didn’t and I knew we lost the game. I literally turned the game off because I knew we were gonna lose because that’s how momentum works in football… and it’s frustrating that we have coaches paid millions of dollars have been in the NFL for years have been around the game for years not get it

5. Grubb belongs back in college football.

6. 1-5 after that 3-0 start. Coach looks young, naive, and overmatched.

7. You guys SUCK! I am so close to switching teams. I just can't support this team anymore.

8. I bet they don't win anymore games.

9. Not going anywhere with this o line. Keep cross, olu, Jerrell and cut the rest.

10. The O-LINE is pathetic, and there is no way to fix it this season. Cross is good, and if Abe can come back and play well and stay healthy, we are good at tackle. But Tomlinson, Bradford, and Williams have to go. Draft and spend some legit money on the interior line. This is all John fault.

11. I thought this guy was a disciplinary. A defensive guru. A tough guy. It turns out absolute opposite. Pete was a pom pom. But he was a disciplinary of his own.
    
    We need to replace Mike with another Mike. Mike Singletary. Goodbye Dennis Allen. Bye bye Mike Macdonald.

12. Seems to me that this team is finding ways to lose more then it is to win GO HAWKS!!!

13. Realistically, no one can thrive under the horrific Seahawks O-line

14. The problem is not Mike. He needs time to get the right dudes. He will learn as a 1st year coach. Schneider imo is the problem. Obviously a downstream affect on multiple problems, but it will take several years to build.

15. Geno needs to go

16. The solution is dont have the worst oline in the league

17. MM is the guy I don’t see any other coach taking his place. The O line definitely needs to be addressed which hasn’t been for the last 10 years. Defense is coming to life take it 1 game at a time. Didn’t expect perfection this upcoming season but will get there! GO HAWKS💚💙💪🏻

18. Shout out to the 12's in attendance. There were many times I expected the team to be boo'd and the fans held back.

19. Ready to go? Where? You are the leader; make the decision. And people, stop blaming the OL. A good team adapts and plays with the players it has.

20. At this point put Byron Murphy in at full back on short yardage sittuations it would probably work out

21. This was always a 6-7 team, but there have been flashes. New staff, new system, and a lot of pieces still missing. Keep the faith, y'all. Gonna take a few years.

22. we definitely need a better center snapping balls over Geno’s head that’s pathetic

23. Doesn't it bother anyone else that Macdonald says, "We have the right guys." ??? Is it not seeing what every fan is seeing?

24. this team is easily a playoff team but due to Schneider’s failure we are not in the top spot like we should be

25. I tell Mike defence turned up to play

26. WE NEED OFFENSIVE LINEMAN

27. A lot of this season poor results are on the pathetic embarrassing offensive line play. There's pretty much 100% chance that either Forsythe, Jerrell, Tomlinson, Bradford, Haynes get dominated on every snap or a lot of the time 2-3 of those pretty much useless guys.
    That combined with all the penalties they take make Geno's job virtually impossible, especially to sustain a long scoring drive.
    As usual, Schneider hasn't done enough to fix the problem that never ends ugh

28. Fix the center of that line Schneider you have been a miserable failure at getting a good line together

29. Fix the o line fr they will win and score more points

30. Atleast we stopped the Run! Thats something good we got to look at. OT shouldve passed the damn ball

31. This all falls on John. You have had years to address this o-line. So damn frustrating

32. Mike is probably going to figure it out, but he is failing right now.

33. Maybe the problems in Seattle is the GM & the owner. Look what’s happening in Washington with a new ownership group. When Pete was let go I wanted PQ for HC. Maybe he would have chosen Seattle if there was different management,

34. This is a wildly reasonable comment section 😂
