My friend, what a wonderful opportunity to explain myself... :lol:

We would win every game if Russ threw within 3 seconds.pacific101":2bq7yj2u said:I am certainly no fairweather fan. I've remained loyal to my Seahawks thru a lot of seasons where all we had left was hope, belief, and prayers. In many of our seasons that clearly wasn't enough. This is not one of those seasons however. We have made tremendous progress on both our Defense and our Offense and, as loony tunes as some will think I am in my perception of things as they are at present, the Seahawks have rarely been as posed for an unstoppable run for a Super Bowl Championship, as they are at this very moment.
Many will want to argue that with Kam, Sherman, and Cliff, out for the season, our defense can't possibly live up to the legion of booms level of play, I say we have been playing without Richard since last year, he admits himself, that he played with injuries thru the end of last season and all of this season, relying on his technique to carry him thru. Cliff and Kam's absence is not going to go unnoticed, the additions of McDougald, Richardson, Shaquill, and Maxwell, leave us with as good as we are with Kam, Cliff, and Sherm on the field. I'm not mentioning Lane intentionally, he has always been a weak link, in our defense, and the Seahawks would do well to avoid playing him whenever possible.
Our Offense has finally come full circle, and are suiting up with their big boy pants on the rest of the season, both in the run game and in our air game. With Luke Joeckal and Duane Brown making much needed gaps and lanes for our running backs, and consistently giving Russell the 3 seconds pass protection he needs, combined with his uncanny ability to scramble and make things happen where most other QBs cannot, the Seahawks are a genuine threat in both our running and passing games on every down.
The one factor We can't count on, and in doing so has cost us, what would likely have been wins had we gone with alternative play calls, and that is our Blair Walsh Project. We can trust that he will always fail us when we need him to succeed the most. If it doesn't matter, he can't miss. So I vote that if we are in a spot where we really need him to get it right, we just take our chances with fourth down conversion attempts provided we dont leave our opponents to good of a position on the field if we fail to convert, and go for 2 points instead of extra points, if it comes down to trusting Walsh to save the day.
With the exceptions of Lane and Walsh, I can still see our Seahawks taking the field in the 2018 Super Bowl. We beat the Eagles convincingly Sunday night.
Go Seahawks !

Not "great" odds, but we no doubt have a chance in this one.
