Let's have enough of the "I told you so" threads.

MontanaHawk05 · Sep 25, 2016

For crying out loud, we've got one for Kam, one for Bevell, one for Graham, and one for negative nellies in general. Taking our opinions a bit seriously, are we?

Has it occurred to anyone that this kind of posturing can only drag down the board and make it a less pleasant place to be in? I'm not thin-skinned and can eat crow; so if you people keep posting these threads, I'll live just fine. But improving the openness of the board is a worthy goal, one we can all participate in. There's no "optimism" or "player loyalty" tests required to join this board, or to be a Seahawks fan. It's one board for the optimists and pessimists alike. Think about that for a second.

Besides...next week you might go back to being wrong. It's a crazy league.

That's all I've got. Hope y'all enjoyed the win today.

Next week, if the Hawks play poorly, the other guys need to say I told you so too. It's not fair.

KiwiHawk · Sep 25, 2016

We had 427 "OL Sucks" threads, 321 "Fire Bevell" threads, a plethora of "Graham was a mistake threads, and an absolute multitude of other negative threads up to and including one asking fans to perform bloody SWOT analyses of the team. I reckon you can handle a few positive ones.

I can.

But when a guy performs poorly, he gets criticized. Nothing weird about that.

Here's the deal, when the so-called Bevell-haters voice their opinion they are not attacking anyone because as far as I can tell Bevell is not lurking here getting his feelings hurt. You cannot be a "hater" without an audience to hate. On the other hand, the so-called Bevell apologists are directly attacking people on the board and THAT is inappropriate.

HansGruber · Sep 25, 2016

If we are going to get rid of "I told you so" threads, can we also be done with telling people what to say or how to feel? How about just letting everyone do their thing and if you don't like it, don't read it?

It bears repeating when half the board have been talking shit about Christine Michael, who's been saving the run game this season.

Christine Michael deserves the callouts

Asking fellow posters to "eat crow" isn't positive.

But hey, making sure the negative nancies pay for their lack of faith is important, right?

Besides, I only "hate" beets.

If you go that route then this thread is also in voilation. The more rules you make, the more you yourselves are held accountable to them.

Look, the 49ers beat the living shit out of the Rams 28-0. Then, the Rams beat the Seahawks 9-3.

Then the Seahawks beat the shit out of the 49ers 37-18.

If that doesn't prove the fact that none of us knows shit about this league then nothing ever will.

Just celebrate the fact that we are all fans going along for the ride.

Asking fellow fans to believe the team is going to hell in a handbasket because of the OL, Bevell, Graham trade, lack of corporatespeak paradigms, or whatever the Goat-of-the-Day is important, right?

I never want to tune in here to see people ripping down Seahawks players, but people do it all the time and figure it's a Public Service of some sick, twisted variety. I can barely stand this place after a loss. I don't post the "eat crow" threads, but I can definitely understand the sentiment behind them, and it all stems from people sick of other people constantly piling on the negativity.

We won, so for this week, the positive types get to crow and the negative types can just freaking deal with it like the positive types have to after a loss or even a tight win.

I have only one thing to say:

The sooner we stop talking about the talk, and just talk, the better off everyone will be.

theENGLISHseahawk · Sep 26, 2016

I think people are just reacting to the ridiculous overreaction last week and wanting those who thought the sky was falling to take a dose of perspective.

As was said earlier the threads are about perspective. No team dominates every game all season long and rarely does any team go undefeated. We very well may struggle next game. On the road, early start, another top 5 d line, Russ even more injured, that has the makings of a possible struggle offensively. Doesn't mean our team will never score more than 10 points a game or that Bevel should be fired, Pete is too rigid, or that we will never make it back to the super bowl.
Last week was super freek out mode and this weeks threads are just pointing out the folly of temper tantrum reactions to one or two games and the inability to take an overall look at how our offense has performed with Pete and Bevel.

I concur.

There wouldn't be any "told you so" threads if this place didn't turn into theapocolypse.net every time the Hawks lose a game.

Ozzy · Sep 26, 2016

I really want to call out the anti-Michael crowd but I wont. Promise.

I could say the same thing about the dozens of threads demanding Bevell fired, Cable fired, we follow the "broncos model", we need to "start rebuilding", not to mention criticisms of half the team.

You think that makes the board a pleasant place to be?

Last week's loss sucked. Coming onto this board was even worse, you'd have thought we'd just finished an 0-16 season the way people were reacting.

Let's have enough of the "I told you so" threads.
