Anywho... so just how pissed are the fans? Well lets take a look at the internets to find out. If you are lucky enough to have local sports radio host Dave "Softy" Mahler as one of your super close Facebook friends, you may have seen his call to his loyal followers to submit questions for Mora's regular Monday press conference.
A sampling of the fan submitted questions:
"When is he going to own up to anything. The first thing out of his mouth every press conference is the injury excuse. Oh excuse me "reasons" not excuses."
"Ask him if he's been UA'd lately, because after the game yesterday said the D played pretty good."
"Tell him to call daddy and get bill cowher's phone number"
"Ask him when the next flight out of Sea-Tac is"
"Ask him when he's gonna quit and let holmgren take over."
Ouch. All of this from the fanbase that touts themselves as the best in the nation.
Further evidence in the form of ESPN's coach approval ratings:
Need to put that into some context? Well after week 1, Mora was fifth on that list with a whopping 87% approval rating.
Fickle are the bandwagon fans of Seattle.
It's tough to blame Mora for all of the problems plaguing the Seahawks. The team is old, slow, constantly hurt, and has a tub of shit in the GM position. At this point if you want to blame Mora for anything, it should be for the hiring of offensive coordinator Greg Knapp. This dumbfuck seems to be running the playbook out of TecmoBowl complete with 3rd and short reverses to the slowest receiver on the team. How exactly is Knapp better than Gil Haskell? Fuck if I know.
So with the likelihood of the playoffs slipping farther away each week, its probably time for Mora to start looking toward the draft where the Hawks hold two first round picks. Might I suggest a QB (*COUGH* Jake Locker *COUGH*) and a left tackle?
If it doesn't work out Jimmy, you can take some solace in my sister thinking that you are "kinda hot."
