With the New England Patriots winning Super Bowl XLIX, the 2014-2015 NFL season has come to a close. In my opinion, Super Bowl XLIX did not disappoint. The Patriots won 28-24 over the Seattle Seahawks and it was a close game all the way to the end. The teams seemed evenly matched. I picked the Patriots to win before the game started, but the Seahawks should have won this game. I believe the Seahawks lost the game for themselves. On their final offensive play of the game, the Seahawks decided to throw the ball from the one-yard line with 27 seconds left. The football was intercepted by Patriot’s rookie CB Malcolm Butler and the Patriots sealed their win. What was Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll thinking? Marshawn Lynch may be the best red zone running back in the league. They also had 3 downs left and a timeout. Time was not necessarily an issue. Why not just run the ball to Lynch and win the game? In a post game interview, a shocked Pete Carroll explained, “We were going to run the ball to win the game — just not on that play. They had sent in their goal-line people. They had guys on the line of scrimmage. So we thought we’d spread them out with three wides. … This one didn’t work out for us. In retrospect, we could have run it.” Pete Carroll’s choice to pass the ball on the Seahawk’s final offensive play single handedly lost them Super Bowl XLIX. Andrew Vetterlein’15 .

Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll Unsicher Wann Superstar Earl Thomas Zum Team Zurückkehrt
Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll unsicher wann Superstar Earl Thomas zum Team zurückkehrt Der Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll sagte, dass er unsicher sei, ob und wann der All-Pro Free Safety Earl Thomas für die Offseason Trainingseinheiten des Teams auftauchen wird. “Wir werden es herausfinden. Wir müssen kommunizieren”, sagte Carroll am Sonntag. Carroll’s Kommentare bestätigten, dass Thomas, der einen neuen Vertrag fordert, nicht am freiwilligen Teil des Offseason-Programms der Seahawks teilnimmt. Diese kamen als Antwort auf eine Frage, ob er erwarte, dass Thomas ausbliebe, bis die Anwesenheit verpflichtend wird. Seattle’s erster Pflichttermin in dieser Hinsicht ist das “Veteran Minicamp”, welches vom 12. bis 14. Juni läuft. Thomas tritt in das letzte Vertragsjahr seines 40 Millionen US-Dollar Deals ein, den er im Jahr 2014 unterschrieben hat. Laut Spotrac.com belegt er nun den sechsten Platz unter den Safeties beim Durchschnittsgehalt. Er sagte beim Pro Bowl im Januar, dass er einen Holdout erwäge, wenn er vor der nächsten Saison keinen neuen Deal bekomme, obwohl General Manager John Schneider seitdem mehrmals sagte, dass Thomas’ Vertreter ihn informiert hätten, dass Thomas keinen Holdout plane. Thomas, ein sechsmaliger Pro-Bowler und ein dreifacher All-Pro, war auch das Thema von Handelsspekulation in dieser Offseason. Vor allem die Dallas Cowboys sollen während dem Draft kurz vor einem Trade gestanden haben, doch dazu kam es nicht und Schneider machte klar, dass die Seahawks nicht beabsichtigen den Safety loszuwerden. Thomas könnte mit Geldstrafen belegt werden, wenn er das verpflichtende Minicamp auslassen würde, obwohl das Team entscheiden könnte, diese Strafen nicht einzufordern. In diesem Jahr beträgt die Höchststrafe 14.070 $ für den ersten Tag, 28.150 $ für den zweiten Tag und 42.215 $ für den dritten Tag, also insgesamt 84.435 $.

PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn SEATTLE SEAHAWKS Team History When the Seattle Seahawks took the field for the first time in the 1976 season, it marked the culmination of a quest for a National Football League franchise that had its roots in the Pacific Northwest metropolis as early as 1957. That is when discussion first began about the possibilities of constructing a domed stadium that would assure a major league sports franchise for the city. On June 4, 1974, the NFL awarded its 28th franchise to Seattle to play in the 64,984-seat Kingdome. A civic suggestion campaign netted 20,365 entries and 1,741 different names, but “Seahawks” was selected and announced on June 17, 1975. Just a little more than two months later, after a 27-day sale, the season ticket campaign was shut off with 59,000 tickets sold. On January 3, 1976, Jack Patera, who had been a Minnesota assistant coach, was named the team’s first head coach. The Seahawks finished 2-12 in 1976, when they played in the NFC, and 5-9 in 1977, when they moved into the AFC. The Seahawks had winning 9-7 records in both 1978 and 1979 and Patera was named NFL Coach of the Year the second year. The strike-shortened 1982 season proved to be a transitional year for all of pro football, but no club fit the transitional description better than the Seahawks. Patera was removed after six-plus years as head coach. Mike McCormack finished the season as interim head coach and then was replaced in 1983 by Chuck Knox, who guided the Seahawks to an 83-67-0 record in nine seasons up through the 1991 campaign.
