1) The love of the Seahawks come through in all posts on this board. Disagreeing is not hating or attacking a person, but a POV.
2) The dark days of Behring were very bad, but they did not last as long as most think.
3) I loved the PC version of the Hawks, but that iteration of the Team is over as far as magic goes. JMO
4) I loved the Jack Patera version as much as the PC version.
5)The Knox version was better than Patera, I never would have believed Zorn would be benched in favor of Mudbone. Zorn was a superstar rising fast, but Krieg was a better player if the goal was winning. Kriegs Hawks were as magic as PC's version to me.
6) Erickson got screwed over, he was putting out an increasingly better team week by week, but was hosed, I still loved the team
7) Holmgren electrified the team and me, I went to my first NFL playoff game and we smeared the Panthers. I loved the team the same.
8) PC came around and we suddenly improved, young players and great ones came on board and the sky was the limit. I loved the team just a little bit more.
Year by year, like a marriage or a great friendship it grows. RW can leave, PC can leave, I am staying. I am bitching, moaning, cheering and hoping.
It has always been The Seahawks, not Pateras Seahawks, Knoxes Hawks, Coach Holmgrens Hawks, or PC's. THE SEAHAWKS are the love of my sporting life. If Earl Thomas or Steve Hutchison walk from MY Hawks, screw THEM The same goes for RW, or DK, or any other player or coach. I don't know how they can treat this team, this heritage, THEIR GIFT and Opportunity like it is nothing. Either you are ALL IN, or get the Eff off the team bus. If Russ wants off, here is the door. The money someplace else is going to be the same. The management is going to be generally the same. The GIFT FROM GOD, at least the football gods to be given the honor or being a Seahawk should NOT BE THROWN AWAY. I love this team and franchise more than I love...... just about everything. How about you guys?
On another note, Carroll seems done to me. RW is no longer GO HAWKS, he is like that College boy looking to transfer to a better gig. At least that is my read. He doesn't seem to have the fire like I do, or like the others on this forum for the Hawks. IMO of course.
