***The Official Seattle Seahawks 2013 Offseason Thread***

[FlaHawker 24]

This is what I find funny about the Sherman situation. He caught a huge break and got off due to the way the sample was handled. Now he is the victim. In reality, he's a lucky bastard. If you don't think so, just ask Browner...........

In reality, your logic sucks.

[FlaHawker 24]

Damn. I was pulling for the kid.

I guess we should just run with no backup this year.

I was too; I thought he showed a lttle something last time he was on the team. Now, I am interested to see what Jerrod Johnson can do. Hopefully he can beat out Quinn. Not a fan of Quinn.

[phillybear 364]

To take a step away from the silliness of people claiming their unfounded suspicions are more accurate that the fundamentals of organic chemistry, the opening at QB has me anticipating the greatest signing of this entire off season.

 

Bring in Tim Tebow.

I'd rather have him with possible drama than Quinn.

Maybe he could even get the guys to start praying instead of poppin adderall.

I would love that signing! Bring in Tebow!!!

[Kopy 491]

I could see Tebow and Wilson working pretty good together as a starter and backup QB relationship.

If memory serves me right, I'm pretty sure Percy Harvin and Tim Tebow made a formidable duo in college at Florida.

Me too, but with all the image problems lately he was focked. We will be in the same boat if Wilson gets hurt.

[Joey Gladstone 33]

Well the division is definitely ours now.

[The Moz 69]

Is it still an exciting time to be a seahawks fan? or does that only apply when the Seahawks are the suck?

[phillybear 364]

That Crabtree injury is pretty major for San Fran.

 

I'm worried about Avril and his foot problem. He probably won't be able to run until camp at earliest. I think he has the same foot injury as Zach Miller had during the Atlanta game. .

For the better part of a decade or so, there has been very little sucking. Lots of playoff appearances and plenty of playoff wins.

 

But when a team is mentioned as a favorite to win the Superbowl this year and future years, it's a happy feeling in the pants.

They still have an overall better team than Seattle.

 

There are at least 4 teams I have ahead of Seattle in the NFC alone. SF,GB,ATL,Nola and or NYG

Oh no...The Moz has the Hawks at 5th or 6th in the NFC! Time to start worrying!

Plantar Fasciitis can be a bad thing. Here's to hoping his gets better.

No way. It was already at about a dead heat before Crab's injury.

 

I'm sure their organization is wishing they hadn't drafted such a dog in AJ Jenkins.

Crabtree finally has a "good" year and all of a sudden he is the end all be all of the SF offense -- a team that the last 2 years has been to the NFC title game? Their strength is their defense and emergence of Kaepernick as a dual threat - I mean damn they still have Boldin and Davis -- let alone a pretty good run game to go with one of if not the best defense in the league.

 

Damn I didn't know Seattle had such a following.

Damn I didn't know Seattle had such a following.

He was showing fantastic chemistry with Kaepernick at the end of last season, a big reason the 49ers offense was so good in the playoffs. How will an inexperienced QB like Kaep handle not having his favorite target? Crab has had some big catches against Seattle.

 

Seattle now has the best WR in the division not named Fitzgerald.

 

And Davis is keen, but he'll be gunshy playing Seattle after Kam Chancellor knocked the stupid out of him last December.

 

Seattle's defense and run game are just as formidable.

Umm you're wrong.

[GreenTD 56]

Not to inflate the already large ego's of the Seattle fans in this thread, but this clearly turns the SeaHawks into the front-runner in the NFC West, IMO.

 

Losing a team's #1 wide receiver with whom he had incredible chemistry with his young QB is hard to replace. Boldin is good, but he's no longer a true #1. Yes, they have a strong defense & a solid running game but they lost part of their identity on offense with Crabtree's injury.

 

Like some of the Hawks fans have already stated, the biggest hole on their team is a backup QB. Wilson is a developing stud but if he gets hurt, who steps up? Seattle has a strong rushing attack & one of the best defenses in the league so they could absorb the loss of Wilson if an injury were to happen but it would reduce their SuperBowl chances significantly. But that could be said for the majority of the teams in the NFL.

 

I'd love to attend a game in that stadium. Definitely on my bucket list.

[FlaHawker 24]

This is Crassic! The NFL Network saying the NFL should put an asterisk next to the Seahawks. Hey NFL network, let me know when you slap that asterisk next to the SB XL trophy and then we can talk. Until then, GFY

 

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/0ap2000000204849/How-concerning-are-Seahawks-PED-suspensions

[Joey Gladstone 33]

And that wouldn't be the only Steelers team needing an asterisk. Since we're talking about PEDs and all....

 

Then there are the Pat's titles. If they're going to break out the asterisk pen the NFL would be at it for a while.

[The Moz 69]

Again I had no Idea there was such a following for a team That's had one stellar season in it's existence. Seattle has a solid team but damn win something first

Coming from a person who is a total fanatic of a team that is maybe the worst franchise in NFL history. The Seahawks actually make the Bengals look successful by comparison.

This is just ugly. Look, you could have come around and mocked the Seahawks when the Holmgren era was winding down, during the Jim Mora Jr year, but not know. Over the past decade or so, this is one of the most successful franchises in the NFL and the team is ascending rapidly during the Carroll/Schneider era. Really? You have to drag stuff up from 1976 for material?

WOW - so over the last 10 years - 1 superbowl appearance and a few other years in the playoffs equals one of the most successful teams? While I agree you might be more successful than maybe 1/2 the league but Come on man!

 

Patriots

Steelers

Ravens

Colts

Giants

Eagles

Saints

Buc's

Packers

Bears

49ers

 

there may be more - have all been better over the last 10 years.

Tampa - won a superbowl - has Seattle?

Cincy - been to 2 Superbowls and 1or 2 more AFC title games Seattle 1 - Cincy was actually good in the 80's

Detroit - while since the merger I agree they are maybe the worst but they do have a championship history pre merger.

Saints - SB title

Rams - SB title

Dallas - are you focking kidding me to even mention the Seahags and Dallas in the same breathe - the cowboys have maybe the most storied NFL history there is is post merger.

 

 

While I admit the SeaHags have a great home crowd - it is amazing they have so many fans for such a shitty franchise that has had basically no more success than the Mariners - maybe the worst baseball franchise ever - no wonder the Sonics bolted for the "greener" pastures of OKC - rather than get mired down in the Seattle suck.

 

Seattle has got to be the shittiest sports town I have ever heard of.

2007

2010

2013

 

They won their division 5 times in that span, made a Superbowl appearance, 6 playoff wins.

 

So, you think half the league has made that many playoff appearances in that time span?

You should switch to Lackman he seems to have more FB knowledge than you

Well, you've been d!ckslapped around pretty hard, so that must be why you switched your argument from successful teams to the singular criterion of Super Bowl appearances. Plus, it's hard to quantify NFC championship game appearances when Seattle spent most of their history in the AFC West. Since they got moved to the NFC West, they've been kicking ass.

 

You've played fantasy football before. You know as well as I do that it can take skill to pilot a team to the playoffs, but once you're there, there is an overwhelming factor of luck, injuries, a team getting hot at the right time, and horrific officiating. It's the same in the NFL, with one added factor of home field advantage. But if you want to talk about "luckiest" teams in the NFL, no, Seattle would not be on that list.

Okay how many NFC or AFC championship games have the Hags been to? LOL

 

OHHHHHHHHH I get it the reason the seahags have never won anything of note is they have just been unlucky - sorry all makes sense now.

 

How many reason do you have now that Pittsburgh "stole" the SB from you?

[Joey Gladstone 33]

What's your angle Moz? Why are some fans getting excited about their young, up and coming team in a topic dedicated to that team getting you so salty?
