One play from Sunday's
#Seahawks
loss to Chicago exemplifies the disconnect between QB Russell Wilson and coach Pete Carroll.

It tells you all you need to know about Russ' inability to self criticize and instead spending the last 4 years letting everyone blame everyone else when he fails. He's never once stood up and took the lumps for anything and we've allowed for it. Even after SB 49 we blamed Pete.

You can always look to an objective, arms-length and trusted source like Wilson-employee Jake Heaps to explain why nothing is ever the quarterback's fault and why holding the ball for 5+ seconds is good situational football here. Not like this is a longstanding trend or anything.

What in the fuck did I just read transcript wise from Jake. Bro, when has Pete ever not been a players coach and let players do their thing? Why do we think now he’ll say some shit to talk some sense in to someone. Pete should’ve called a run play if he didn’t believe in Russ…

How's about the media start criticizing the defense for a change? They completely fucking choked (Again) and yet the narrative is is "It's all Russell's fault" THIS DEFENSE HAS BEEN ONE OF THE LEAGUES WORST FOR TWO FUCKING YEARS RUNNING yet ESPN is radio silent about it.

I mean cmon! Three out routes and one vert? What kind of play call was that?!? Everything was covered! O-coordinator gotta be better…the new o-coordinator is predictable

@jtheaps9
Sure, ok,makes sense. BUT. If your watching any other QB in the league make that error...your placing full blame on the QB. Agree, as the coach, you apparently do have to pull his free reign card.

Nice of Russ to try and be the hero now when he doesn’t need to be. How about audibling out of Bevells horrific SB call? That would have been the right time to go rogue!!

Russ just can't read defense in the pre snap..it's clear on the sack...he had guys running open if he takes the quick throw...but he wants to play back yard football except his cousins are not the ones chasing him or covering.....he needs to take what the defense gives him...
