Wake up to your own biases!

“Steve and Sam, I started listening to the podcast about 6 months ago and have enjoyed your analysis of many NFL subjects. However, I’ve grown tired of the fact that you, like many in the sports media, overlook the Seahawks and underrate their players. In the Week 2 review you talked about the NE vs. SEA game and spent the majority of the time discussing Cam Newton and the play call by NE on the final play of the game. When you mention Russel Wilson, you say he’s “lights out” but then add that he is “in the conversation” with Aaron Rodgers for MVP. Please. First of all if a QB from any other team in the league was doing what Russ has done through two weeks, they would be the only thing anyone in the media was talking about. But you spend no more than 30 seconds speaking about it, on an nearly two hour show. Through 2 games Russel Wilson is playing far better than Aaron Rodgers and it’s not particularly close. How about you just say Russ is the clear MVP through the first two weeks? And then spend some time discussing his incredible play, instead of analyzing one play call.
I can recall many other examples of you overlooking the Seahawks. In your discussion of the Jamal Adams trade you literally spent the entire conversation talking about it from the Jets’
perspective—how it was an obvious win for them and that their GM had made a good move. You didn’t present Seattle’s side of it, such as the fact that Adams is a HOF-level player and an immediate difference maker on a team with Super Bowl aspirations. And that we draft after pick 25 every year, where players of Adam’s caliber never fall. You completely missed the benefits to Seattle in every mention of this trade.
I expected you might discuss the trade from Seattle’s point of view when you did the NFC West discussion, but no, you spent the entire segment talking about Seattle’s weak offensive line. When it came to the WR corps, you hardly mentioned DK Metcalf, who again would be the most hyped player on the planet if he were playing on any other team in the league. That’s another thing, how did Lockett and DK not make your ranks of top WR combos? The fact that you speak about Buffalo over them is a joke. DK and Lockett should be viewed as one of the top duos in the league, up there with Evans and Godwin. I suspect your own statistics would show this.
And one more example is your conversation about Coach of the Year. How you don’t mention Pete Carrol is such a blatant oversight it’s embarrassing. You were talking about how consistency should play into the conversation, yet you give a person like Kyle Shanahan more credit for one good season as a head coach than you do to Pete for his decade plus of playoff appearances. Shanahan shouldn’t get credit as Coach of the Year for his time as a coordinator. The award isn’t called Coordinator of the Year. I understand that Pete is different than most NFL coaches, but you, along with the rest of the media, never speak about the culture of success and competition he created in Seattle and has sustained through a broad variety of players. The team has been beset by all sorts of adversity throughout the years, yet he always makes the playoffs and is competitive in every single game he coaches. Other than Andy Reid, Tomlin, Harbaugh, and Bellicheck, nobody has a better record than Carrol. He’s an enlightened hippie guru and you east coasters don’t understand him and that’s fine, but at least see that you’re not giving the guy his due.
Wake up to your own biases against this team! I’ll listen sparingly until you guys stop parroting the mainstream media and east coast perspectives on the NFL. Spend a little time reviewing your coverage and balancing your analysis of Seattle toward what the data actually shows.”

“Awesome podcast! Steve & Sam provide great, in-depth analysis of each game during the season and interesting topics & discussion during the off-season. However, I would probably listen to this podcast just for Steve’s minor league baseball stories & Sam’s analogies, alone. I...”Read full review »
