***The Official Seattle Seahawks 2013 Season Thread***

[Yer mom 2]

Congratulations guys, the Hawks are now legitimately in the players club. I'm looking forward to the NFC battles between SF and the now total badass Seahawks team in the upcoming years.

[pittnthat 0]

Congrats on your 1st title. Your team deserves to be champions and that d is now legendary.

[R8RMick 242]

Can we close the book on this thread now? The game is in the refrigerator. The eggs are cooling, the jello's jiggling, and the butter's getting hard...

[murf74 461]

You can now spend $1,000 on memorabilia.

[Yer mom 2]

I don't want to insult anyone in this thread, but my point rings true always. Sherman left injured. If you don't believe karma is real, find a tall building and leap.

 

Put a muzzle on your boy, lol.

[jocstrap 8]

You fftoday Seahawks fans deserve this championship! Congratulations

 

A team so well balanced with a defense of elite caliber...The offense couldn't be stopped as well tonight.

 

I believe the defense of the entire AFC was exposed tonight . Offenses were inflated b/c the defenses sucked so bad.

 

Seattle battled through an unbelievable division with SF, ARI, and STL - All of those teams had championship caliber components. They all have a piece of the puzzle, but Seattle has the offense and QB to win the big games.

 

Pure dominance SEATTLE! WELL DONE

 

You diehard Seahawk fans have brought waaaaay tooooo much insight to the SEattle team on this forearm. Great insight along the whole journey over these past few years. Well played - most activity - superior enthusiasm - YES

 

 

 

On a side note you seattle fans: Steve Largent is from Tulsa. I'm from Tulsa. He watched me play tennis. No we are not friends - just have met in passing through the tennis community - yes I've played on the court with him at Shadow Mountain. Ask him who Joc is...he'll say "yes, he was a tennis player from here. He was pretty much a bad ass. I think a National Champ in '94. His wife is feakin' hot as sh!t. I talked to her the whole time when Joc was in the finals of a doubles pro championship here in Tulsa at Philcrest. She yapped and yapped and yapped and had no clue who I was...!"

[Sho Nuff 719]

Congrats to guys like Kopy, Groundhog, Hawkfi...the food fans.

Sorry you have other cackface fans that fock it up for you and that idiots like me have to stoop to their level most of the time.

All around dominating performance.

[IGotWorms 3,310]

Congrats Seahawks fans. That's one hell of a team you guys have

[BunnysBastatrds 1,913]

Congrats to the can shaking toothless granny's of Seatle. And the rest of you Fawkers! That was a can of Wuppertal ass I'd like to bottle! Enjoy it brothers!

[stonewall 647]

Well, the talking is over. Dominating performance from start to finish from Def, Offense, and Sp. Teams. Made Manning look like Ryan Leaf....which is not easy to do. Only wish now that it had been the Pats that received that beat-down.

 

Hats off to a monumental performance.

 

Unfortunately, now you are gonna have to pay these guys.

[Johnnybmoto 0]

I'ts a great day and I am far to drunk. Just would like to say that it has been a long time coming. My mom was at the sonics parade in 79 and I will be at the hawks parade this wednesday. Can't wait.

Don't knock her up.

[uwmalcolm 73]

I'm probably going internet silent for a while, time to take the foot off the brake pedal of the drinking wagon. I actually lost my voice from screaming. Yesterday.

 

See ya on the other side.

 

We all we got. We all we need. Leave no doubt.

Philly - it's a beautiful day. I can't talk now either. Voice is gone. Don't worry about anyone else. Alcohol is our best friend. Hard to believe that it just happened. I've been to a lot of bars tonight and the Seattle loser mentality is hard to get over. But the vibe at bars is insane. Everyone is going nuts and it's like everyone is on ecstasy! And I may have been on that drug before. So...I can imagine how it feels. Love all around and I'm happy for every Hawk fan who has ever been in this thread and other Hawk thread. It's a damned good day.

[phillybear 364]

So, let's talk about the game.

 

The reality is that Denver has faced a top ten defense twice this season. Facing the Seahawk defense will be a brand new experience for them. Whereas their offense looked unstoppable at times early in the season, as always, the league adjusts, and they came back to looking human. Denver has had a relatively easy run through the playoffs, facing a couple of teams that overachieved their healthy rosters to advance as far as they did and on top of that, San Diego was ranked #23 on total defense while New England ranked #26. The Denver offense hasn't faced a defense in forever. They led their playoff games from start to finish, winning easily, no pressure, literally no pressure as New England never laid a finger on Peyton Manning. Seattle brings the #1 defense in football, with metrics off the charts eye popping. The misdirection the media likes to give is that you have to cover all their WRs. No big deal, as Seattle can go on forever in covering, ball hawking, big hitting defensive backs. You have to slow down the new Denver rushing attack, and the dink and dunk 5 yard passes that Manning will take all day long as you take away the longer throws. Denver was #1 in the NFL in YAC this year. Perfect, as Seattle has the fastest defense in the league and nobody tackles better. Seattle took away the run from the Saints and San Fran to advance to this game. The only bonafide weapon on offense shown to be effective vs Seattle's defense the past two seasons is a scrambling QB, ala Kaepernick, who will tuck it and run past the hard charging defensive line and hit the next level and open field. Kaepernick has been chirping this week how vulnerable the secondary of Seattle's is, yet this dumb fock has 7 picks and 3 TDs in 3 games against it, so maybe he should shut the fock up. As far as mobility, Manning will move as far as a submarine on dry land. No doubt, the defense has picked up on the little chip play that Denver fancies, where the running back sneaks out for a middle screen after the WRs clear out the middle zone by going deep. Seattle has Chancellor and Thomas in the middle to close extremely fast or Bobby Wagner or any of the interchangeable LBs to lay out a hit to knock some teeth loose, so I don't think this will work. Ask the Saints where their ballyhooed screen game completely disappeared to. Seattle doesn't play gimmick defense. They play you pretty much straight up. They will not blitz much, as they lead the league in QB pressure by defensive line. You have to have perfect execution. And even so, you still get bogged down in the red zone most of the time against these guys. They just do not give up points. They will force Denver to kick FGs. And if Manning is going to try to get greedy at some point, this defense led the league in forcing turnovers. In their last seven games, Seattle's defense has given up 7,19,0,17,9,15,17 points, a good chunk of points scored in garbage time vs prevent defenses. An average of 13.4 points per game. Five of these seven games were rematches with teams they played earlier this season, so if you think 2 weeks of film study for Denver is going to help, you are only kidding yourself.

 

Offensively, Seattle hasn't faced a defense this shaky since playing the Vikings November 17th. The Seahawks have faced a defense ranked in the top 8 in their past 7 straight games, with the exception of St Louis, who is only ranked #15, but has a terrific defensive front and beats you up physically. Wilson and the Seattle offense hit a slump? No!!! They hit a string of extremely difficult opponents to score upon. Duh. It's what the stupid mooks in the TV studios don't bother to research so they can drop some truth bombs on your head. Denver's defense is decidedly average, as the league average on a yards per play basis is 5.4 while Denver allows 5.3 (for the record, Seattle allows 4.6). It's a credit to them to get this far without a good defense. So, how does Seattle attack them? Well, Denver better not bring those shitty game plans they threw out there against San Diego and NE, because they will give 60 points. They crowded in their ends and left yawning chasms for any QB to run around. Hello, can you say read option? Sure, Seattle hasn't run it much this year, but it's the last game, so there is no reason to save Wilson for the next game. While SF and some of these other defenses Seattle has been facing lately have speed on the outside and can get after the QB on the edge and contain Wilson's running forward, Denver doesn't. Wilson and Lynch will run to the outside on Denver. And is there any doubt that Lynch has his game face on right now? He's going to make some Bronco tacklers pay for them making him talk to the media trolls. St Louis, Arizona, San Francisco, all these teams bring better rushing defenses (rush per play average) to the table than Denver. They couldn't stop Lynch. So you want to bottle up the box and stop Lynch, which nobody has shown they can do. OK, whatever. Percy Harvin is going to be weapon, and I don't think Jon Fox is going to put a bounty on his head like Sean Payton did. Harvin has a chance to make everything right with the trade. A ultimate game changer in the ultimate game. The wildcard. Who is being overlooked completely. Quick throws to the outside to Tate, quick hitters to Harvin in space, Baldwin on 3rd conversions, take some deeps shots, and most of all, the defensive line will bring less heat than San Fran. Wilson will have more time to throw, to make some plays, finally. If Denver spreads out to cover for the outside, Lynch will pound them in the solar plexus and go for some very long gains.

 

It's getting comical watching pundit after pundit pick Denver to win and then scrambling to find any tidbit or morsel of information to try to justify his pick. "I like Denver, because I think their defense is better than Seattle's". "I think Denver wins, because Peyton is a nice guy." "Denver is going to win because he is going to teach Richard Sherman a lesson." "I think Denver is going to win because I haven't watched a Seahawk game on TV this year."

 

Yes, it's being reported that Seattle fans are buying many, many more tickets than Denver fans for the game, and are threatening to make it a semi-home game after all. There is a film showing 13 people showing up to see the Broncos off on their plane trip to New York. In Seattle, the 30 minute bus trip to the airport shows ten of thousands of well wishers lining the streets to cheer on the Seahawks. It's going to happen. The Seahawks are going to stick their d!ck in the NFL's eye and then we get to watch the mushroom stamp on ESPN and the NFL Network's faces for the next 364 days.

 

Seattle 37

Denver 19

 

Go Hawks!!

 

As happy and drunk as I am, I still had to come back and tell everybody to eat my d!ck.

[phillybear 364]

Philly's analysis was right on. I never saw it coming.

 

Congrats on what surely is a win here.

 

[phillybear 364]

Wont say his analysis was anything. Was wrong though...huge blowout so far.

 

It was something, alright.

[phillybear 364]

Can we close the book on this thread now? The game is in the refrigerator. The eggs are cooling, the jello's jiggling, and the butter's getting hard...

 

This is merely the beginning. 100 pages, daddy.

[phillybear 364]

Eh, too many people to quote, so I'm giving up. It's Daniel Bryan time.

 

YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!!

[phillybear 364]

 

Seattle has one of the best defenses in NFL history. In a league where every rule change is geared to protect offensive players and seemingly to produce higher scoring games. I analyze data as my profession, so if I sound enthusiastic to Seattle being the better overall team, it's driven not by blind homerism but by taking an honest look at the numbers. I don't bet on the Seahawks every week with my cash, but I pick and choose my spots. Did I place a bet on them last week? Yes. It worked out. I took them again today (+3). I never bet with my heart, because you would go broke doing that. You have to bet with numbers. If this game were to be played 10 times, I'd say that Seattle would win the game 9 times. Because more than anything in football that is outside of variance, defense and running the ball dictates the outcomes. Seattle is better at running the ball and at defense than Denver. It's undeniable. And the strength of the opponents the past two months prepared Seattle for this moment, not so much for Denver. I don't have a doubt that Seattle will win this game, no butterflies in my stomach at all, it's going to happen. I'm not saying Denver isn't a good team, because they are. A very good team. But I think Seattle is better. And when did it become trendy to back Peyton Manning in big playoff situations? Holy Toledo.

I got crucified as a super homer for calling your extensive and apparently very well founded comments "analysis" and saying that Harvin was an unappreciated wild card MVP candidate. He was an inch out of bounds on that early reverse from having that locked up. I'm sobering up a little and this is still real.

[uwmalcolm 73]

That's pretty awesome that you've played tennis/ in the same area as Largent. I would kill to do that and I play a decent amount of tennis too. He deserves a smoke show of a wife too!

I walked the line last night. Sober enough to remember every play, drunk enough to enjoy it.

 

Weird that Malcolm Smith got the MVP. I guess they wanted to reward the entire defense, but had to settle for one person, so they went with the guy who recovered two turnovers. Plus some residual from catching the Sherman tip the game before I guess. Russell Wilson put up some seriously good numbers.

 

Fock. This is all real, and it's spectacular.

I was partial to the Malcolm Smith MVP call as his first name is my last name. There was no obvious pick so I wasn't surprised. Wilson was my guess as a qb who played well but he didn't have an amazing game by any means...didn't have to really. So Smith took it for the D as you said. Happy for the D and LOB, they must be proud for shutting down the best offense in history (by Barnwell's numbers at least).

Actually you didn't. He got called a homer...as did another poster.

And they are.

That some of his analysis came out right is great and all. Does not change the FACT that his analysis was based on his love for the team and not any objective look at things beforehand.

Big fan of Wilson, so don't take this as me bashing him or what he did.

But, much of his numbers came after the game was already pretty much decided.

He really didn't need to do much at all.

 

The defense was the MVP of that game. Either that or a nod to Harvin...for really putting it out of reach with the kickoff return.

But it had to go to the defense that dominated that game.

[MDC 5,890]

Congrats to the actual Seahawks fans who live or lived in the region and/or have family and friends who root for the team, that was a dominant performance and a great win.

 

The dingleberries who have never lived anywhere near Seattle and picked the Hawks when they were 10 cause they had the prettiest uniforms can go eat a bowl of d1ck.

Thanks!! Go Eagles!

[Hawkfin 32]

WooooooHoooo!!!!

Championship - finally. Thank you Hawks! What a dominating performance too.

We opened up a can of whoop ass - Curtisity of captain insano.

 

Congrats to all us Hawk fans too! The support around the city has been amazing. And I thought we were damm loud and followed our team all the way to NY too. Proud of the 12th man!

 

What a great year and it couldn't have been sweeter to dominate what everyone felt was the greatest offense in the history of the game. Now our Def should be considered the greatest IMO. But, what a team performance. Can't be happier.

And only Wilson's 2nd year. I think more to come and a dynasty beginning.

 

Also, thanks for those that have come in here to give us props. That's cool too!

 

Wooooohooooo. The voice is gone, but the fingers can still celebrate.

So happy the Hawks brought this home. Amazing team!

[Sho Nuff 719]

Now our Def should be considered the greatest IMO.

Im hoping you meant this to say they should not be considered the greatest.

Cause, the 85 Bears say hello.

[jgcrawfish 232]

Big congrats to all Seahawks fans who are not huge dooshes named Flahawker. (Much smaller, jaw-clenched, teeth-gritted, forced congrats to that doosh as well).

[Hawkfin 32]

Im hoping you meant this to say they should not be considered the greatest.

Cause, the 85 Bears say hello.

We are right there with the 85 bears. If you think otherwise, you are just ignoring facts.

Bears never had to play the best offensive team in the history of the game and dominate them when nobody else could even touch them.

Hawks put up 1's across the board pretty much statistically on def.

We almost broke the biggest blowout SB record against the greatest offense the NFL has ever seen stats wise.

 

We could argue both ways. 85 bears were amazing. But, so is this team!

Ignoring facts?

The Bears gave up 10 total points in 3 playoff games.

They were as dominant over a 3 game span as the Hawks were in one game last night.

Im a Packers fan...it pains me to give the Bears credit...but that D was simply the best. The Seahawks D is behind them...it not far behind...they are int he tier with the Ravens and Bucs Ds. But they are not on the level of that Bears D.

 

You won't find many non-Seahawks fans to even say they are the best D ever...and even man Hawks fans would agree the Bears D was simply better.

I just don't think the bears played anybody comparable to who the Hawks have. We shut down Brees twice and made him look foolish both times. Brees - Who's one of the best QB's in this league and puts up dominating stats was shut down.

Then Manning - He was lucky to even score the entire game. The greatest offensive team the NFL has seen. 6 amazing weapons with P. Manning. And they also had to beat the 49ers who were unstoppable and crushing everybody.

 

I saw that Bears team lose to Marino's dolphins who only had 50% of the offense Manning and Denver had.

 

I say they are the 2 best and it's close. In today's NFL, Def are unheard of and the offense are setup to win.

Yet, we played like if it was back then when Def were able to dominate the league. And we crushed it all year.

 

Any Hawk fan would argue with you and say we are the best. Any non Hawk fan probably would not give Seattle credit.

The facts still remain - We crushed the best offense the NFL has ever seen. And did it by almost the biggest margine of any SB.

Don't ruin their over the top declarations with facts. You think a team with no past championships and a city with only their 2nd ever would be a little more happy to just have the trophy rather than fabricate the GOAT.

 

And wouldn't the best defense of all time at least be better than tied for 7th best against the run in the regular season. Hard to argue best of all time when you were tied for 7th best against the run (tied with the Broncos for pete's sake).

 

Overall defensive performance, let's take a look at the greatest defense of all time in the two most important categories:

 

Total Yards per game:

1. Seattle Seahawks 273.62

2. Carolina Panthers 301.23

 

Total point per game

1. Seattle Seahawks 14.4

2. Carolina Panthers 15.1

So if Seattle is the best of all time, I am putting my vote in for Carolina for 2nd best of all time with an almost identical stat count.

 

How I give Seattle fans this, most dominant performance for one Superbowl game. I think it clearly was. But the entire season just isn't gonna hold water.

 

Heck Seattle's stats this year can't even beat the year the Steelers beat the Cardinals in the superbowl.... they came in #1 against the pass and #2 against the run......with the following overall stats:

13.9 pts per game

237 yards per game

 

Let's get a grip Seahawk fans, enjoy the win but stop the madness here.
