I resemble that remark. I opposed the spot they used to take Brooks but he is proving to be a genuine gem.Was a bit hot that we took Brooks over Queen.
It’s great to be wrong sometimes.
This should be the #1 answer...I was positive that Lynch was getting the ball and didn't...
I thought Franco Harris was going to get us to the Super Bowl.
I forgot about Sheldon Richardson. I thought he's be a stud for us. My wife mocked me, (she's a Cowboy fan), saying that anyone named Sheldon is gonna be a diva that won't play well with others. Sadly she nailed it.
- I was also pretty happy about the trade for Sheldon Richardson, and thought he would be the final piece the Seahawks needed to get back to (and win!) the Super Bowl. I remember I was using a ride-sharing app (BlaBlaCar) to get from São Paulo to a beach called Maresias, where some friends lived, and a couple of times when we stopped, I checked the ESPN web page on my phone to see if there was news about Richardson. I was really happy when I saw that it was done. If I recall correctly, it was the Seahawks app that told me first.
I was positive the defense could hold a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter, when I was sitting in the stands at SB49.
I hated that move when it happened. I was hoping the Seahawks would make a move to get Earl Campbell.I was crushed by Warner's injury, especially after the Seahawks had gotten so close in the magical 1983 season (I hate the Raiders forever). I hoped the Seahawks might get something useful out of Harris, but I wasn't optimistic, even though I greatly admired Harris's work with the Steelers. And at the first Seahawks game I attended, the one in Foxborough in September of 1984, I "got to" see Harris in a Seahawks uniform, sucking a lot. It was unpleasant, but I wasn't surprised at all. I still asked Harris for his autograph in my game program after the game, but it was 100% because of what he'd previously done with the Steelers.
So even though I was a teenager living on the other side of the country (Maine), I wasn't wrong about the Harris acquisition.
