    Officiating is so bad, I quit!

    This "bottom line...you failed to do X" in the face of SBXL-bad officiating is such a poorly conceived line of reasoning. By the time you hit the NFL, the parity is unparalleled. If you make the field in the NFL, you are one of the best in the world at your position. As such, EVERYTHING counts...

    Officiating is so bad, I quit!

    BINGO!!! Thought the ATL comment might be coming - and it would take somebody who got their highlights from ESPN rather than by watching the game (and therefore didn't catch the illegal head slap which preceded the Sherm PI no-call).

    How the Seahawks were saved from California’s clutches

    Really? Does your friend or his loved ones know you wish he died in a fiery plane crash to avenge an anonymous sports grudge with the Hawks' onetime owner? It's a bit much man, really. Life is short. Get your priorities straight. That's an insane thing to say.

    Montana Sea Hawkers?

    How about the guys who do the Seahawkers Podcast? Adam & Brandan. They're based in MT.

    Now that the season is over, Fire Bevell Poll

    Bevell defenders pointing to scoring forget two key facts: (1) The Seahawks have been #1 in scoring defense for 4 years straight, and have been an elite 'takeaways' team during that period, meaning they are getting the ball back and giving their offense extra opportunities to score - more so...

    Darrell Bevell linked to BYU coaching job

    Watching people defend Bevell is like watching an insane college sociology experiment. For the past few years, our offense has been predicated on Bevell calling a play, the play breaking down because it sucks, and Russ running for his life and occasionally completing a pass along the way. If the...

    What Best Describes Your Mood?

    I'm feeling sick. Also, some random thoughts: *I don't think I've ever celebrated that much in a game only to ultimately lose (sacks, great pressure, Rawls run, a couple of deep balls from RW, etc.) *I need to take a break. Aside from eating and drinking hard on Sundays, the losses are...

    Anyone going to @Baltimore?

    Wife and I are planning to ride the train down from NYC but Baltimore seems like a bad place to fly solo. Any groups of Hawks going to be there? Would love to meet up and sit close to allies. Ticket advice (and offers) welcome. We were planning to ride the train back up same night but I guess...

    Chris Matthews

    I hope the guy turns out to be the big body Brandon Marshall-type guy everyone here is hoping. However, I think we're pinning those expectations on his breakout Super Bowl performance. Just keep in mind, a huge chunk of his SB success owes to the fact that they had no time to game plan for him...

    Going to Green Bay!

    I just went there a month ago. Absolutely beautiful stadium--the atrium is nuts--but parking/"traffic" near the stadium was a nightmare, even in the offseason dealing with tours. Would recommend staying walking distance away, or bus/cabbing. It's still a cow town (the area around it even more...

    Which 3 wins do you want the most in 2015?

    Man, how did I miss Dallas? It would be great to give them a little payback for 2014. Might have to swap that with Cincy as my new #3

    Which 3 wins do you want the most in 2015?

    Has to be regular season. The 3 wins I wanted most last year: (1) Denver - to close the book on all the excuses from XLVIII (2) Dallas - just can't stand the international bandwagon (3) Philly - wanted to shut down the high-flying Eagles and their vaunted offense Can't believe we dropped...

    Revisiting the call - last play of Super Bowl XLIX

    So, just to be clear: Point #1: The Seahawks once called a high-risk slant pass to their 6'5", 255-pound #1 tight end to go up 17-0 at home in the first quarter of a regular season game. Point #2: The Seahawks called a high-risk slant pass to their heretofore special teams WR down 4 in the...

    Max Unger and 1st for Jimmy Graham and 4th round pick

    Wow, this is freaking crazy. I LOVE the idea of having Graham--he is the basketball player Russell Wilson needs to climb the ladder--but I'd rather have had a big outside threat instead to stretch the field vertically. I also seriously worry about our gameplan on the OL now. Russell already...

    SNUBBED by Baldwin!!

    If it's true that ADB shook his head, that's kind of an unnecessary gesture. But I don't get the people who are so starstruck and delusional they actually think they're going to forge a mini-relationship with a celebrity who doesn't know they exist. Waving or saying "Go Hawks" is one thing...

    Post-XLIX Dave Dameshek Football Podcast

    I still like Dameshek. But his football stuff is becoming difficult to listen to because, through a combination of our own fault ("nobody believes in us!") and his, he's been polarized to the point where I'm hearing more ridicule directed at us by him than ever before. That's hard to deny. The...

    Don't poke the bear LeGarrette

    Who's saying 5 feet? All accounts have the ball on the half-yard line, or to be official, the "1 yard line". In reality it was 18 inches. I too am surprised at how the Pats are feeling their oats the last few days. Bevell rescued defeat from the jaws of victory... we had an 87% chance of...

    Post-XLIX Dave Dameshek Football Podcast

    The fact that a lot of "neutrals" started honking for the Pats--the most successful and hated team of the last decade--is what tells me it's not about liking the Pats. It's about hating the Hawks. I too recall the crack about Russell's tears being "fake," and Shek's utter devastation at GB...

    We need one of the Thomas fellas from Denver

    Harvin is a toxic, selfish ass but I think we win XLIX if he's still on the team. Not because he actually does anything, but because you have to commit resources to stopping him. It's easy to stack the box and try stopping Marshawn. Gets a little tougher to stop him AND the thread of the read...
