@SoulfishHawk already responded to your post, but chose not to quote the posts to which he was responding when he complained about people downplaying the win.
Here are some people downplaying the win in this thread...
@Sun Tzu , I agree with most of what you post here and value your contribution very highly. You're among my favorite .NET posters. However, on this subject, I agree with
@Rainger and
@SoulfishHawk that the Eeyores' constant downplaying and "yeah, but"-ing of Seahawks wins gets pretty annoying.
I wasn't on .NET in 2012, but I can imagine the Eeyores responding to the Seahawks beating the Cardinals 58-0 and then the Bills 50-17 the next week with "yeah, but it was just the 4-9 Cardinals (finished the season 5-11) and the 5-9 Bills (finished the season 6-10)."
We saw this kind of crap during the preseason when
@keasley45 and
@Maelstrom787 were pointing out that Geno Smith's performance last season and in the preseason indicated he might be better than we thought (
i.e., not awful), and the Eeyores were all writing off Geno's performance against the Jaguars with variations on "it's just the Jaguars," even though Smith did things against the Jaguars no other QB managed to do, and those same Jaguars beat the Bills the following week.
