News: Difference between Seahawks, Cowboys comes from the draft

Sorry, but their coaches know what they are doing... You think these players would look phenomenal with our defense. I can't count the times Carr laid Megatron off to some player in the zone, with only that guy not being there.

Did you see Kam Chancellor leave his man to go punish Welker when he saw the ball in the air on that deep crossing pattern? That's how you play pass defense.

The draft is just one of the many things the Seahawks do better. The attitude of the entire franchise is better. Pete Carroll is the face of the Seahawks from a non-player standpoint. The entire roster has adopted the mentality of the coaches and they all have heart. Those guys compete for their jobs every week in practice. Their new stadium was designed to maximize fan participation in the game.

Our coach, try as he may, has to look over his shoulder all the time. The attitude of the franchise is don't cross Jerry. The players know if Jerry has devoted significant resources to the player, they can get away with more, they get complacent in their position on the roster, they will likely never get benched. Our stadium is a shrine to the owner, to opulence, artwork, and includes a massive TV screen, so the fans in the nose bleeds can see the game, and it's more like a museum inside than a stadium.

Many say the Cowboys have no identity. Couldn't be further from the truth.

The Cowboys are a mentally weak, finesse team. All flash with no substance. And leadership who seem to love it that way.

Polar opposite of the Seahawks.

Difference between Seahawks, Cowboys begins and ends with the GM.

Yes, indeed.

I just remember the sound of Seattle's defenders punishing the Denver WRs and flying to the ball. They reminded me of the young Dallas team punishing the Bills. I was just depressed.

I wonder if Denver fans are questioning thier GM and the 2012 draft. Looking back at the 2012 draft, the Broncos' GM chose DL Derek Wolfe early in the 2nd when LB Bobby Wagner was still there. And Denver's GM followed that up later in the 2nd round by taking QB Brett Osweiler while QB Russell Wilson was available.

So, if Denver had a GM worth his salt who had a clue how to draft, Denver could have had both Wagner and Wilson. And I'm sure Denver fans could look back to the Sherman and Chancellor draft picks and wish they would have chosen them instead of whoever it is they chose. Denver could have easily had Wagner, Wilson, Chancellor and Sherman on their team and that, folks, is the difference between the Broncos and the Seahawks and a super bowl ring. If only Denver's owner wasn't meddling and making picks and acting like a GM. Oh, wait, Denver has a GM, right?

Yeah, I mean it wasn't like they shut the WRs down totally. Thomas had 13 catches (super bowl record) and a TD, and Welker had 8 catches for 80+ yards. But they were largely confined to one side of the field, and they were always getting rocked, getting balls knocked out, etc.

And if it becomes a trend that John Elway constantly misses on draft picks, then he will probably "resign." Can you say the same thing here?
