Pete Carroll is the best coach in the history of this franchise. Russell Wilson is the best player in the history of this franchise. That status grants them trust and confidence, but not fealty. Each man made decisions on Sunday that made it far less likely their team would win a critical game against a division rival. Where Wilson at least acknowledged his errors, Carroll showed no signs of enlightenment or humility. What was once a team on the glide path to a Super Bowl, will now be fortunate to win their division. The blame for this adversity falls squarely on the shoulders of these two franchise greats, as does the responsibility to overcome it.
Surprisingly dominant performance against rival 49ers
There will be many angles on this game from both the 49ers and from those who cover the Seahawks. San Francisco will play up Jimmy Garoppolo's ankle injury and the very lengthy list of players they were missing. Seattle coverage will (and is already) play up that the aggressive blitzing style the Seahawks defense deployed was the moment where the team found their identity on that side of the ball. Both are incorrect.
Imagine being the fan of rival team to the Seattle Seahawks. Every week, your hopes would swell that Seattle would...
Wilson will probably not throw 5 touchdowns every game the rest of the way. The Seahawks are likely to have more frustration on defense and more table pounding drops on offense. Those are just dramatic tones in the symphony Wilson is conducting. This is Beethoven's fifth. Mozart's Requiem. You will tell stories to your children and grandchildren about what is unfolding before your eyes. Cherish it.

Agonizing
That is a game that Pete Carroll and Wilson win every single time, until they didn't. They literally had been 59-0 when leading by more than four points at halftime. They had been 27-0 when scoring 33 points or more. They had been undefeated in regular season games played at this stadium since 2013.
The last time the Seahawks played in Miami, they gave up 17 points in the fourth quarter to Ryan Tannehill and lost by three on a field goal as time expired to drop them to 6-5. The time before that, Seneca Wallace and Julius Jones lost to Chad Pennington 21-19. The time before that, Jon Kitna, Brock Huard, Ricky Watters and Shaun Alexander scored a combined total of zero points while losing 23-0 to Jay Fielder. The Seahawks 31-23 victory over the Dolphins in Miami was not artful, but aggravating victories are far better than aggravating defeats.
This was a signature Seahawks moment. It goes on the shelf alongside Tony Romo’s fumbled snap in the playoffs (at...
