Teams Seattle Seahawks - The 12th Man

[Amazing Racer]

Season over - no coming back from this. We have looked bad at times during the year but this is the worst by far. The team looks like they have turned up and have expected everything to happen as it always does at home.

Literally there are no positives - we don't look like we have turned up. The intensity and feeding off the crowd just isn't there. The turnovers have been ordinary but really, everything that has gone wrong, has gone wrong. The Packers should be further ahead, they have dominated.

I just hope we can make the scoreline respectable in the end. It just shows how hard it is to defend a SB. I still think we look underprepared - it is like they decided to prepare the same as they did for the Carolina game - the Packers are a different story and now the second seed for nothing. Not getting anywhere near Rodgers has been terrible. Maybe too many distractions as well, I don't know.

So onto next year - we have the core talent but if we lose Quinn to a HC job (likely ATL), we will be tested. The offense is still a huge issue and if Lynch does end his time, Turbin and Michael will have a long road to get anywhere near replacing him. This loss will burn for a long time because we beat ourselves first and foremost. It will be tough again next year and staying a playoff team will be difficult, given the strength int he division.

See you next year BF Hawks fans............

Aint hearing the fat lady singing??

 

[Wild Bill]

Wow that was hard to watch. Now I can finally relax and watch the next game.

So happy to get through this game - played woeful and still found a way to win - only very good teams can do that!!

 

[Amazing Racer]

We were lucky - but will take it. Can't afford to play 10 minutes of good football and expect to get the result.

Agree - any word on Sherman?

I am still in disbelief. Had no right to win that but God it feels good.

Looks like the Pats - would be nice to do what we did to Manning last year and take down 2 of the great QBs back to back!!!

 

[Seppo]

Jump online this morning and see the progress score at half time...

 

[Amazing Racer]

Pats are too clinical in this game........I would love to see a Colts comeback to make it interesting but I can't see it happening

 

[LeverPuller]

I thought we were done with 5mins to play.

Holy hell

I thought we could not come back. This game turns quickly with 1 big play.

 

[Daniel85]

I gave up after Russ's last INT. Left the room. Then we started playing well, so I stayed in the bedroom reading Game of Thrones so as not to jinx it. Tried to come back after the onside kick but my wife told me to get my ass out.

 

[Amazing Racer]

We should have been done. We were bad for 90% of the game (the Packers were good for 90%) but the 10% at the end decided it.

We had no right to win that game

 

[Wild Bill]

I thought we could not come back. This game turns quickly with 1 big play.

Pick - TD - 7 point game.

 

[Seppo]

I just made this... Or should I have used the Get out of Jail card?

 

[bangbang]

Congrats fellas. I think I want you guys to beat the pats just to keep it in the nfc. Don't think I've ever been apart of anything like it. That just can't happen like that it just can not

 

[gaskin]

How in the f*** did we get away with that? For all bar the last 5 minutes + OT was probably the worst we have played all season. To say it was disgraceful is an understatement. Still, SUPERBOWL BABY!!

Also, WTF was Bennett doing riding a bicycle around the ground after the game?

 

[Amazing Racer]

Bennett on the police bike - funny. Blitz the Mascot getting to Kearse before most of the players to huge him - priceless!

Pretty lame...

Seahawks fumble their attempt at an MLK tribute

Posted by Darin Gantt on January 19, 2015, 3:40 PM EST

Well, now some poor intern in the Seahawks communications department is going to find out exactly how Brandon Bostick feels.

As have many professional sports leagues and franchises have done today, the Seahawks chose to commemorate the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday with a tweet.

Unfortunately for them, it was more clumsy than Bostick’s attempt to catch an onside kick which allowed the football team to come back and win a football game against another group of football players.

Seriously, even NASCAR, that bastion of progressive thought, was able to walk this line tastefully.

But not the Seahawks.

Someone took the time to superimpose a picture of a crying Russell Wilson next to a King quote, and then tweeted it out to the world with the inscription: “We shall overcome.”

Yes, because the Packers and the institutional march of racism which swept over our land for an embarrassing amount of time are exactly the same thing.

The Seahawks quickly deleted the message, but this is the internet, and nothing ever really goes away.

So on this day, let us say, that we too have a dream, that one day professional sports teams will stop overestimating their social importance, and remember that they are a collection of ball players who people enjoy watching play ball.

I think MLK would have been wrapped to be linked to the great man after that come back win.

 

[Seppo]

Packers stuffed up and put this guy from their special teams unit for the onside kick:

No wonder he didn't stick the catch, they needed some supa glue.

 

[Joshen]

Sherman with a sprained elbow; should be fine to play in a couple of weeks time although not at 100%

Curious to see what happens with Helfet and Britt as well

 

[gaskin]

What exactly was wrong with Helfet and Britt?

 

[Grongey]

Said it elsewhere, but Pete Carroll is some kind of coach. Inspired against the Packers.

 

[gaskin]

My uncle is a Pats fan and wanted to have a bet with me on the SB. I promptly turned him down.


Also, check out this f*** wit Patriots fan. He posted this at half time of our game.
