I can’t believe I’m in the Seahawk Forum when I read thru many of the post, it’s hard to tell, with many, if I’m in our forum or our opponents forum.
When I read all the post from 12’s, who after two close losses, on the road, in the first two games into our season, with almost 10 times that number of games, left ahead of us left to play, and so many of you have already declared the season a Total loss.
Hell we all read that Denver had only lost 1 of 18 of their last home openers, knowing it was going to be next to impossible for us to get a win there, and then when we loose by a touchdown, everyone feints shock and unleash heaps of “told you so” criticism and character assasination attempts on their favorite Seahawk targets.
What ever happened to “We Believe”, and that undeniable, undefeatable spirit of the 12’vs, who are there until the very last second of every game, and whose spirit has brought this team back from the edge of defeat to some of the most phenomenal victories in NFL history.
I look at the offense and defense that Pete and John have assembled in Seattle this season, and having watched them battle two formadable teams on the road, and consider that the only thing lacking in their make up is the continuity that can’t be developed anywhere else but on the field under fire.
I also see that we have assembled a collection of highly skilled and talented professionals on both sides of the ball, and I have all the faith in the world that they are going to develop into a real force to be reconned with.
I haven’t lost site of who Russell Wilson is, he is still that dreamer who believes in himself and his teammates, and will fight with everything he has to find a way to win, and to inspire his team to greatness. There is not a damn thing wrong with our offense or defense that time on the field in real game time won’t eventually put them in sync, and fix, once that clicks, they will prove to be better than the cast that brought us our first Super Bowl win.
I do think that Russell is taking himself too seriously this year, he needs to get out of his head and on to the field and start trusting himself and having some fun out there again. He is way to sensitive to criticism. He needs to remind himself that criticism is a tribute made to success, paid by mediocrity and stupidity, and use that criticism to fuel his fire, instead of extinguish it. He needs instead to start listening to those of us, who like himself, Still Believe!
I feel like the minister at Sunday church, “ oh Yee of little faith”, how quickly you turn your backs and abandon your team, when they need you all more than ever to get their backs, and offer them your encouragement and support, and most importantly your belief in them and what they, and we can accomplish, if we pull together instead of focusing on taring us apart.
We have everything we need in Seattle, right now to take on and defeat any team in the NFL. The only thing that can stop us is our inability or unwillingness to put our “told to so, character assassinations” of every aspect of our players, coaches, and owners, instead of humbling ourselves and trusting in that same wisdom that brought us Kam, Earl, Cliff, Sherm, and all the other hall of famers.
Most of what I’m reading in the forum today, is repeats of what I read when Mike got his walking papers and Pete got the reigns handed over to him a few years ago. There is that core that hated Pete Carroll, and have never had anything good to say about him since day one. They are infectious, like a virus in their spreading of their “ told you so gloom and doom” mantra.
I for one have a mind of my own and refuse to drink from that poisonious punch bowl. I believe that the Seahawks are gonna do it again, and I sure as hell am not going to do anything but offer them all the belief and encouragement I can muster up. I still believe, and I know that there are a lot more out ther like me, difference is I’m not afraid to speak my heart and Let the criticisms come my way, for walking my own path and having a thought of my own.
I really hope that this Seahawk team shuts their critics up this Sunday, and for the rest of the season, which will at very least silence all the critics and there “Get Pete” movement, at least for a time. Hopefully open the eyes of those 12vs who are so caught up in all the negativity being preached right now by the sports media talking heads and some of our own members, that assume that because others see it a certain way, that they must be right, and give themselves back their ability to believe in our merry band of misfits once again.
Go Seahawks! We’re gonna do it again, and I for one “Still Believe”.
The game just ended, that sync under fire thing I mentioned just happened out there today. We have a championship capable team in Seattle, and hopefully their performance today will quiet the haters, and rekindle the fires in the hearts of the team and the 12. Most importantly that we all continue to Believe!
