Even if we suck for the next 3 years I'm happy trusting the guys that built that 2013 dynamo. Winning a SB affords a staff a 5 year grace period during which they have the right to do what they see fit if things go south a little. I waited a lot more than 5 years for that Super Bowl win.

The last 2 years are gone, they're history.
We have a window where we can win a few more if only the Offense can step up.
And it all starts with the Offensive Line play.
If it doesn't, we will be looking back with regret and talking about what could have been instead of what was.

First of all few of us pointed out it would take TIME, something many refused to acknowledge ( and well Damn if it didn't take that) AND that the way to HELP the line was quicker reads, routes and throws... Both things have spurred this offensive explosion. Many lamented ( and even to some extent STILL are) that those things didn't matter, that the Seahawks were incapable of finding line talent, and that THAT failure was the reason, and the sole reason for those failures.
If you all want to "walk back" what you said ( similar to what was done with the belly aching that was done both with Giacomini and Carpenter) than fine. I could care less, but the thread that I bumped was indeed a thread that was made specifically FOR me, to make ME eat crow, I have NO qualms bumping it when I was RIGHT about the situation, regardless of how the " line sucks" crew feels, no matter how many of you there are.
HumanCockroach wrote:No RD it wasn't directly pointed at you, honestly it had more to do with Burtons assertion that these old threads shouldn't have been "bumped" I didn't bump this thread, but I did bump the other thread, as it was specifically directed at me, and my opinions about what it would take for the line to improve ( specifically time to gel and quicker reads, routes and throws by Bevell and Wilson, which is exactly what happened.). I was called out, lambasted for my opinions, and did not waiver on how it would improve, and improve its exactly what it did, and in the specific ways I said it needed to do so.
All of them held their share of that blame pie ( OC, line and Wilson) and because I was not willing to lay it all at the feet of the line, I spent the majority of my time on this board for 6 to 8 weeks listening to how clueless I was. So, I have zero issues "serving up that crow pie" for those that spent that time telling me how wrong I was.
