And so it begins.
The 2022 season kicks off in glorious fashion. National spotlight, Russell Wilson comes back home to face the team he grew up with and perhaps earned his place in Canton with. The story lines are robust. No need to regurgitate what has been discussed ad nauseum in these forum walls from the moment he was traded.
If you poll the majority of 12's, most will say this is a loss for the Seahawks. But there's this contingency of vocal 12's convinced this is the Seahawks' 2022 Super Bowl. That this is their moment to prove to the country that not only are they going to be better than most would ever expect, but they want to show Russell that they will be just fine without him, forging their own way to a new era of success. Can Pete do it again? Can lightning strike twice?
I am incredibly torn. My intellect says the Seahawks lose by 10 or more. But my heart persists. I have this feeling, beyond hope, that something crazy happens on Monday Night and this young and scrappy team pulls it out.
Let's Ride!! Woops, er, I mean, Go Hawks!!
