In baseball, there is such a thing as a perfect game. It is a game in which no runner reaches base. Essentially 27 batters retired in a row. A perfect game in baseball is an exciting thing to witness. The tension grows with each out. The winning team can have 20 runs and yet the possibility of a perfect game fills the air with excitement. Is there an equivalent in football? After any given Seahawks game, win or loss, there always seem to be gripes about something. Last nights win vs Philadelphia is no exception.
A blowout in football might be fun to watch from a spectators standpoint if you are on the winning side, but eventually all those points and easy scoring opportunities become boring and predictable. Is a perfect game in football predicated on a QB throwing for 300 yards and 3 TDs, with a RB eclipsing 150 yards all while the defense isn't scored on?
Does a potentially perfect game in football depend on a persons viewpoint? In many ways, as I've gotten older any win is a perfect game. Maybe that comes from being an original fan of this team and witnessing quite a few bad versions of Seahawks teams. Maybe its partly from surviving the Behring years and what seemed like a distinct possibility of losing them forever. Maybe its a matter of just enjoying it for what it is...entertainment.
