A large part of the Seahawks bad luck was they were starting McMullen and Bumpus at WR and they still hung 37 points on the Rams.Loosing is one thing but being blown out by that offensive team they faced today is damn near inexcusable.They have a much softer schedule the second half of the season. To be fair, they've gotten destroyed by the Eagles, Giants, and the Seahawks. True, the Seahawks are not a great team, but they're a perennially good team that's had some really bad luck early on and was poised to blow up. I don't think the Rams go 13-3 or anything, but I think 5-11 is more approachable than their local fans do.
So Linehan keeps his job because his team is completely incompetent in all facets of the game, but he played three tough opponents?They have a much softer schedule the second half of the season.

According to ESPN's Ed Werder and Chris Mortensen, Jones and Garrett have a disagreement over who the offensive playcaller should be.The pair are on the verge of a compromise in hiring Linehan, who has a close relationship with Garrett.
One source who expects Linehan to be hired speculated he could have the title of passing game coordinator while also being designated the Cowboys' playcaller. If so, Linehan would become the third different offensive playcaller in three seasons in Dallas, following Garrett and Callahan.
In a setup one source described as "strange" and "dysfunctional," Garrett ceded play-calling authority to Callahan a year ago in what appeared to be a change mandated by Jones.
If Linehan is hired, the Cowboys could make Callahan the run game coordinator and Linehan the passing game coordinator. The Cowboys have employed a similar arrangement in the past.
But this potential move would upset Callahan, who also resides as the offensive line coach. Callahan was given credit for improving the line, which produced left tackle Tyron Smith’s first Pro Bowl selection and saw rookie center and 2013 first-round pick, Travis Frederick have a solid season.
Won't they need another coordinator to coordinate the coordinators?http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4723760/source-callahan-would-be-upset-if-linehan-is-hired...
