I cannot believe how almost every thread I read here is still full of complaints and wailing about not getting respect. It's been a Seahawks love fest all week with comparisons to the 85 Bears and 00 Ravens but you people STILL bemoan every single instance of someone not calling the greatest team ever or they might lose some games next year or other teams are good too and you turn them into personal insults. It's pathetic guys. It's Harbaugh-esque. We've been crowned, the pundits who were seriously doubting us were wrong (and no, simply picking Denver or SF in a close game is not doubting). Put the handkerchiefs away, thicken your skin a little and act like the champions we are. It's embarrassing quit frankly
The isolation and doubt is what makes it special. We all we got. We all we need.
When you say "you people" you identify yourself as a part time fan. I recognize you from the footballguys forum. What's your deal?
When I say "you people" I am speaking to and about the ones who are doing what I listed. I'm going with over a 90% chance that I've been a full time fan longer than you've been alive. You can say what you want about m fandom, but only pigeons and sheep think that anything other than total agreement and blind homerism makes someone a "true fan". I've bled blue and green from day 1, whether it was the room I shared with my brothers in the 80s painted blue green and silver, being sick the day after Bo, spending tons of money in bars in SD and LA to watch as many games as possible and even moving to a new place for the sole purpose of being able to get Sunday Ticket.
So yeah, if your only argument against me is "your not a real fan!!!", well let's just say that's an exceptionally weak argument. If you want to be like Joey Porter and seize even the most benign comment and turn it into outrage as if someone just manhandled your grandma, then you deserve to get called out as an embarrassment.
Seattle won! The whole weeks has been literally stuffed to the brim with talk of how dominant the team is and how it's set up for a dynasty run. Use that as an excuse to crawl out from under your Rock of Woe, it's a new era for the Seahawks.
PS- I've been repping the Seahawks on FBG for 9-10 years now (back when there were maybe 4 or 5 total Seahawk fans), how about you?
