I still maintain that there's not one roster decision that would've changed that outcome. Probably not 2. Put a healthy Trent Williams at LT and I don't think that fixes it. Put Tyreek Hill at WR and I don't think it fixes it.
We just got ****ing whipped. Everywhere.
They came out firing and we didn't. Hard to know/explain why. On that day, the Eagles were a damn buzzsaw and that happens from time to time. I look at that Seahawks Super Bowl over the Broncos back around 2013. If that game gets played 10 times, I think you see a 6-4 split in Seattles favor and I think 8 of those games are 1, 2 score games tops. Play that game 25 times and I don't think you get another 35 point ass-kicking.
That day the Seahawks just came out and absolutely took it to the Broncos. They weren't that much better than Denver. Denver didn't have any single fatal flaw that killed them or any specific roster change that could've been made to have saved the day.
They just got their asses kicked. It happens sometimes. Statistically the best offense in football history couldn't find it's ass with a flashlight and a map. They just didn't have it.
Burn the tapes and move forward.

Actually they lost that game for 2 reasons.
1) they figured out Mannings calls, and the Donx never changed their signals from the regular season. Omaha didn’t mean anything, was just a added word to confuse.
2) they found if they followed Peyton’s eyes, they would lead them to the ball every time according to the Hawks players.
And that defense was an all time defense. They were llllllllloaded at almost every position.
