Things that made you happy: the fact that Seattle won the west despite flaws in their game. Cliff Avril and Bobby Wagner were very good.

Things that surprised you in a good way: Jimmy Graham didn't seem to be impacted by his injury. He was a baller.

Things that surprised you in a bad way: I knew our line was bad this season but I didnt think it would be THAT bad. Also, Hauschka missed 8 extra points.

Favorite Player this season: Bobby Wagner

Unsung hero: Justin Britt. Our line was awful but he actually was decent as a center.

Player you hated beyond belief this season: Either Bradley Sowell or Jermaine Kearse. Sowell was probably our worst oline and Kearse regressed so hard.

Worst storyline about your team: Richard Sherman telling the reporter he would end his career, on top of bitcjing about offensive play calling.

Most unappreciated aspect to the team this year by everyone: Cliff Avril. He was insane this season.

Best win of the season: beating the Patriots in Foxborough. Doesn't make up for the SB loss but its close!

Worst loss of the season: the home game against the Cardinals. We should have won that game and that's also where Lockett had that horrific injury.

What the team needs to do this offseason:
Everyone will yell "fix the offensive line" and that's true, but I think we need some new secondary players soon because the core will retire any moment.

Funniest moment of the season:
That tie game. A 6-6 game is loving weird.

Do you have hope or despair for the future:
A little hope. We can make the playoffs each year with the Rams and 49ers being such poo poo. Our window is closing fast though.

Does anything actually matter
Hey we already won a super bowl with this core!

Tom Cable can be interviewed now, keeping with the thread obsession with him

Pretty sure the 49ers already interviewed him though

Devin Hester announced his retirement. Guess he went out with a bang, at least.

Kick returners are like the designated hitters of football. Normally you just shove a guy in there and hope for the best, but if you get someone who's amazing, it can turn around your team. Hester was the best KR of all time, and should be in the hall, even if he was just a specialist and rarely ran offensive plays. Also, yes, Edgar Martinez should be in the hall of fame, why do you ask?

I don't understand how Tom Cable still has a job. Can someone earnestly explain this to me? His product has been terrible for years and the reasons seem like fireable offenses. He has no eye for offensive line talent and he thinks he can retrain defensive linemen. The Seahawks have a dynasty with a good offensive line coach.

One thing that comes up about Tom Cable and why he sticks around is that players love him. Marshawn Lynch and Michael Robinson spoke highly of him. Same with his offensive line players. The other thing is that it's not necessarily him that drafts and signs offensive line players either (though he certainly has input). While I don't like Tom Cable, I don't think it's his choice that the Seahawks decided to spend the least amount of money on their offensive line than any other team by a wide margin.

Speaking of Seattle's line... Pete Carroll happy with progress on offensive line, seems content not to change anything.

It's highly unlikely that Seattle can improve their line much next year. This is because 1) their draft position is 26, and any good offensive tackle (their highest need) that can slot in and make a difference immediately will probably all be taken by then, and 2) there isn't much room cap-wise to bring in a good FA tackle. This offensive line had 3 new starters this year and a 1 new position compared to the last: Britt (moved to center), Glowinksi, Ifedi and Fant. I guess the good news is they'll all be back next season, so the hope is they somehow get better and mesh. I'm not holding out hope though.
