I thought that they would be talking about how mighty my Seahawks were last night,but no all I'm hearing is how kurt cousins suck. It like they don't even know any of our guys short of Russ and wags. This is such a slap in the face to our guys its unbelievable.

I hope they can spend a little time watching film and going over our roaster. Unfrigginbelievable.

Kirk Cousins is the big topic this morning, with good reason.

Big contract, mediocre results and now OC fired. Hawks got their attention last night

I have seen the Hawks get lots of love from national media the last couple weeks. The narrative seems to be they are the one team nobody wants to face in the playoffs.

Not unbelievable IMO. This is the same team that just let Nobody Mullens an undrafted BU QB put up a 95 passer rating 413 passing yards on 30 completions 1 week before on us.

Can you really blame people for thinking this was more on Cousins? He looked like a deer in headlights.

Doesn't mean our D wasn't a force....it clearly was.

Exactly.. and i think the hawks will get more attention as the week continues.

They are inches from the playoffs, playing really well, and a threat to cause some havoc once they get there.

I've seen the media talk about Seahawks and Chargers being the two teams no one should want to play in the playoffs. Both can go on the road and slug out a victory. I have a feeling as the playoffs get closer and the D keeps playing this well, the media noise will only get louder.

Kirk was supposed to be the guy who puts them into the SB this year and instead they're looking at maybe a WC spot. Definitely a valid reason to be discussing the Vikings more than the Seahawks today as their new QB looked shell-shocked in a playoff environment.

A faction of the old school eastern media & commentators were all too eager to predict the Seahawks would stall this season. They were proven wrong and then forced to watch one of their pet teams from the former storied black & blue division get ragdolled by a young Hawks team wearing those neon green (dramamine) uniforms. It's just pain doing the talking.

Everyone predicted the Hawks would stall this season. East coast, west coast, midwest, China, Russia, Papau New Guinea, Mars.

Not me friend, I had them at 10-6 and we may go 11-5. Uh, on the junk pile because Bennet, Sherm & Earl took their balls & walked home? Nope, not on the PC & JS watch.

Correct. Go back and look at this board after we went 0-4 in preseason. Go back and look at this board after we started 0-2 in the regular season.

This fan base was being far, FAR more critical of this team than any of the talking heads or media.

Honestly, this "EHR MAH GERD THEY DIDNT BELIEVE IN US IM SO OFFENDED!!!" narrative is pretty gross coming from this fan base after the overwhelming negativity I saw on this board earlier this season.

It's much more fun to blame the mystic "East Coast bias" for all Seahawk ills and disrespect -- it may be responsible for more conspiracies than the Illuminati!

The redskins dropped some huge passes with wide open recievers in key situations, the Redskins got screwed on the Lockett PI and the non-call of Wagner jumping FG block. In addition, they were one of the best teams last year who added the most expensive QB (at least guaranteed money) ever and their team somehow is mediocre.... so, it kinda makes sense to me why the is emphasis is on Cousins sucking big time.

Be careful, I just got yelled at for criticizing our fans on this topic. Tread lightly.

Who cares what the media has to say? I just hope all the other teams are also underestimating us but I kinda doubt it.

FTR, I predicted, on these pages, an 11-5 record for us this season.

And the Vike's FO gave him $88 Mill guaranteed.

He does not have the quick-decision making skills to lead a team to the upper ranks.

And a few weeks before that they held Drew Brees to 120 yards and still lost while Cousins went 31/41 and 360 yards.
