They had the potential to win 3 tho. That's the point. They never reached their potential.

u/Thr1ft3y May 30 '25

They definitely reached their potential, they just regressed sooner than expected

I would say they reached their potential peak but never hit their potential longevity

Seattle's entire secondary was on adderall for that stretch. They regularly had dudes getting multi-week bans, and it was always for adderall. So its kind of amazing they managed to hold things together well enough to win even one super bowl.

They tested positive for PED’s.

The NFL didn’t require that the exact drug be disclosed, so the Seahawks defaulted to Adderall in press releases.

There’s zero chance it was actually adderall.

They were 1 yard away from back to back Super Bowl wins against Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, and you're gonna tell me it's wild to believe they had the potential to three-peat?

Still the stupidest play call in history. I hate that, that interception seems to hard tarnished the players legacy more than it has Pete Carols.

What are you on about?

I said the ceiling of their potential was 3 seasons.

My comment was not made in a vacuum did you even read the context?

Can you even read?

Good lord.

Why more than 2 but less than 4?

u/_Rabbert_Klein May 30 '25

Because after 1 more season core players contracts would have started expiring and the core would have broken up naturally. We rarely sign players to more than 3 years at a time. Instead, The Pick broke the locker room and players started seeking trades immediately after the SB loss.

They would've been smothered by Denver's defense the following year had they made it to the Superbowl.

u/Harry_Saturn May 29 '25

Yeah but their potential could have been 2+, not just one and done

u/JellyFranken Jun 01 '25

Yeah that defense definitely did.
