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

Yeah, but...uhhhhh.....The Seahawks suck! Bandwagoner. Retard. :third grade Faghawker burn:

This is worse than your chili meltdown a few months ago. Get a grip Newbles, you're crumbling.

My god you've lost control. Spinning like a top and hanging on my every post.

[Sho Nuff 720]

Sports illustrated did an article on Sherman. Home life, parents, background, the whole nine yards.

It was avery good read. He's a really smart kid, not your typical trash talker.

I think reading it would really change alot of people's minds on his character.

 

It might.

But most of what people see is his talking trash.

Already compared it to the "how to keep an idiot in suspense" joke.

And he just keeps responding.

Priceless !

Correct. And his gay crazy-gesture he makes with his finger when he breaks up a pass play. It makes him look like a real idiot when he gets burnt for a long pass or touchdown. Or punched in the face. lol That was classic.

What is equally impressive is he got where he is coming out of Compton, CA. Trouble is like a magnet there for all young kids. I have first hand experience with that city. This shows me he is very intelligent, his degree from Stanford not withstanding. He also hates Harbaugh's Brother from what I hear lol... Another good trait.

 

His trash talking is probably just schtick, a way to get himself in a zone. If they come up against Carolina that is going to be an EPIC battle if Steve Smith is healthy.

Richard Sherman is better at life than you.

[FlaHawker 24]

See ya boys! Off to Seattle for the game! Go Hawks!!

[NewbieJr 541]

Richard Sherman is better at life than you.

Well, he's certainly making more money. But I sure as hell wouldn't want to look like him. Talk about an ugly motherfucker.

Richard Sherman is the best corner in the league. He talks a big game, then goes out and backs it up.

 

Like most of the guys on this team, he spends endless amounts of time studying flim and doing prep work. If he gets burned for a pass, it's typically because he was baiting the QB into a potential INT throw or he didn't get help on the backside when he passed off the WR to someone else and it was a broken coverage.

 

And his "U Mad Bro?" has been an internet success for some time. The thing is, Tom Brady opened his yap first when NE was up 13 points on Seattle. So when Sherman responded at the final score after Seattle rallied and won, he got all the attention. You cannot name a better cornerback in the league and he will be among the top vote getters for defensive player of the year.

Top ten cover corner. Let's not get crazy

[jgcrawfish 232]

Wait, what?!? You don't live in Seattle? But how can you be a fan if you live somewhere else?!? Sure sounds like bandwagoning to me!!

 

Don't forget that nice red jacket they gave you, otherwise you won't be able to help people to their seats while you're at the game. But seriously, have a nice trip there Massengill, sure hope you don't die too quickly in a fiery explosion.

 

[phillybear 366]

Recently, the debate was Revis vs Sherman. And Revis is a non factor in that horrific Tampa defense, playing in scheme that doesn't fit his strengths.

 

So, who else you got that's better? Be specific.

Revis, Peterson, Hayden, Talib, and Tillman. Sherman is #6 on my list.

Doubtful he is actually going to the game as well.

[Sho Nuff 720]

Revis, Peterson, Hayden, Talib, and Tillman. Sherman is #6 on my list.

 

Revis and Haden for me.

Talib...meh. Peterson may be there or very close.

Tilman is not even close.

Sherman is right there 2, 3, or 4 for me. Probably would put Haden as the #1 guy in the league.

Sherman gets way more recognition than the others because he's brash and arrogant. Most people don't even know what Haden or Peterson look like without their helmets on. Or what their voice sounds like. Sherman has become a PR master. Every pass he breaks up becomes this elaborate celebration. He is way overrated because of that.

As for Revis, he wasn't the same this year due to his ACL injury the year before. If he returns to 95% of what he was in 2012, he blows Sherman out of the water.

Sherman has gotten a knack for game turning plays. The interception vs Houston to force the game into overtime. The INT that buried Kaepernick and SF in that game early in the season. He won two or three defensive player of the week awards. He lead the league in INTs with 8, next closest guy had 6.

 

Peterson gets more recognition because of his return duties. We see him twice a year. Not in Sherman's class. Nope on Talib and Tillman as they aren't close, although are solid players. Revis had a bad year in a bad system and clearly is not as good as Sherman this year. I will give Haden my blessing to be on the same level as Sherman, which is at the top of their position.

 

So, Haden, and what else you got besides a whole lot of nothing. Remember, you were looking at Sherman as barely a top 10 guy. You've clearly overstated your case.

Hate to tell you this, but great cover corners rarely lead the league in interceptions. Quarterbacks avoid throwing their way. Sherman hasn't reached that level yet.

 

I rated him as my #6 corner. Last I checked, that was top ten. Outside of top five. hth

The Seattle secondary is among the very best in NFL history. Who is a QB supposed to throw against? Sherman gets his chances because he baits the QB because every other WR is covered by the other guys too. QB have no choice but throw in tight coverage because everybody is covered. Maxell filled when Thurmond got suspended and he started pulling in INTs because QBs finally thought they had somebody to pick on, and they actully didn't.

 

Go back to obvious trolling.

I'm trolling because I said a Seahawk was the sixth best in the entire league? LOLOL Sorry I don't worship the ground all of the Seahawk players walk on, Ass hole. Let me know when Sherman is respected enough that QBs avoid throwing his way. If your argument is that a fourth-stringer is just as good, then maybe top ten was a little high on my part.

[R8RMick 242]

Obviously not in same discussion but Brent Grimes of MIA deserves honorable mention as well. Doesn't get a lot of attention, just goes about his business. I believe the man has not given up a TD this year (please correct if mistaken) and gets a ton of work. Has 4 INTs and 18 passes defended, plus 52 solo tackles. He wraps up pretty well, which may contribute to the TDs allowed number. I like the unsung hero types.

I don't really remember the whole article. But I do remember that it was very gang like territory, and you'd usually end up dead, in jail, or homeless. His dad was a trashman, and would take him on his runs, just so he could keep watch over him and kepp him away from that stuff. It really was eye opening.

I remember too that his hate for Harbaugh comes from Jim telling him he was a sh!tty wr and he should quit football.

I don't know why he has dislike for John, but if he's anything like Jim. I'm sure it's justifiable.

I live in Patriot country. Everyone round these parts hates John Harbaugh. People else where this it's Rex Ryan, but thats just more media driven. Plus Rex likes to make the papers. The real hatred is towards John Harbaugh.

Believe all you have read about Compton. ALL. I think the Williams sisters hailed from there as well. I spent a couple of my toddler years there, actually attending school through 1st grade. Definitely badlands.

 

I think Harbaugh's Brother coached him at Stanford, and really tried to screw with his stock coming into the NFL. I always still get the two mixed up, and is why I refer to the tool as such. I actually think John had a lot of guts as a player, and is a good HC. While his brother is just a classless whiny punk.

 

IMO of course.

Grimes needs to taunt receivers and quarterbacks and talk a bunch of smack. Then more people will know of him and think he's the best. It's all about PR.

So, what you are saying is that when Richard Sherman is covering a team's top WR, be it Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson, etc, they should avoid at all costs at throwing to those mega millionaire go to WRs because a top corner is covering them. Keep throwing TE screens and maybe a QB waggle for a short toss to a FB. But by all means, don't throw the ball in the direction of that scary corner.

 

Absurd.

 

Look, you don't understand football, you watch maybe one Eagles game a week and little else, and you certainly know nothing about the Seahawks.

I forgot more about football than you'll ever know. You're just a blind homer who thinks every loss is the referees fault and every guy on your team is the best in the league. You have the mindset of a ten year-old and the body of a 70 year-old. Not a good combination.

Don't give me this homer bullsh!t. I'm analytical, I make statistical driven observations, and nobody on the face of this planet is as hypercritical of the Seattle Seahawks team more than me. Anybody that has ever visited these threads year after year sees pages upon pages of nothing but phillybear criticizing the players, the front office, the draft picks, the league in general. Come on, you've been around here for 10 years. Do I strike you as anything other than a pessimistic? When I give out a compliment, it's like pulling kidney stones out of my d!ck.

You are the least objective person in this thread (not counter Faghawker, but he's mentally retarded). You're whiny when they lose, and a doosh when they win. You think Wilson is a top QB in the league (he's actually around #12), you believe (or at least pretend to) that all of their drug suspensions are pot, rather than admitting they are taking performance enhancers. You think that every loss is the result of bad calls. You think that calling one of their players the sixth best at his position in the league is an insult. You're a focking joke. You're basically Faghawker with about ten extra IQ points.

Let's look at some facts, Jack.

 

If they lose, and clearly the effort was lacking, I can the team out for it. When bad calls happen, like they did in Indy, like they did in SF, like a bunch of them happened in Arizona, it would be intellectually dishonest to ignore what video evidence is telling us. If something goes in our favor, I will admit as much too. I calls them as I sees them. You are clearly someone that has no knowledge of the goings on of the Seattle fans at this site, and a bandwagon late comer to this thread.

 

Wilson is a top QB in the league. Top 5? Maybe. Does he have the highest quarterback rating in the NFL since the midpoint of last season to now? You bet your ass he does. He's efficient, clutch, he has lead the team to double digit come from behind wins in his career, broken records for rookie and 2nd year quarterbacks, and has lost one home game in his two year career. And I trashed him from draft day to about the mid point of this rookie year. I was wrong.

 

The last two suspensions, Walter Thurmond and Brandon Browner, were for pot. The player said as much. Do you want me to believe the players or not? The NFL screwed Browner, as they gave him a 2nd strike on the drug policy while Browner was in the CFL and the NFL was sending his mail to his ex-girlfriend's house, which was never forwarded to him. He rightfully is appealing and then should sue the league.

 

Yes, it's an insult that you think Sherman is the 6th best corner in the league, and you can't find anybody to agree with your list. Go move to the mountains and stop bothering people.

Wait. Weren't those three games the only ones they lost?? In other words, EVERY GAME THEY LOST was the referees fault. Thanks for proving my point for me, jackass. ROFL You sound like a focking retard. Where was all of this officiating criticism when the Seahawks benefited from one of the worst calls in NFL history against the Packers last year?

 

As for your other points, do you seriously want me to believe what the players say when it comes to their failed drug tests? Where the fock have you been for the last ten years? Every player in every sport tries to minimize his failed test. Pot is the most innocuous possible reason to give. They want to serve their suspensions without being accused of cheating. I'm sure as a Seahawks fan, you would just LOVE for people to believe it was only pot. Unfortunately, only idiots like you buy it.

 

As for Wilson's quarterback rating since middle of last season, are you sure it's higher than Nick Foles? You might want to look that one up again, Sport.

The Seahawks were the #1 in the league in penalties. Considering the physical style of play, I can accept this. Doesn't mean every call was correct. When you have 128 penalties, it is accurate to assume a certain percentage of those calls are pure horsesh1t.

 

The Seahawks fortunately were able to overcome games they were flat in, executed poorly in, overcame the penalties and assorted bad calls. And they had such situations go in their favor. The more glaring examples of incompetence by the incompetent zebras came in the games where they directly had an effect on the outcome. In the Indy game, the Seahawks blocked a punt that they recovered in the end zone. The refs called it a safety. The replays showed it a TD, the challenge came, the refs called it a safety. Instead of being up by 17, the lead was 12, Indy throws a bomb, and gets right back in the game. The Arizona came, the refs blew not one but two calls in the 4th quarter. Arizona fumbled the ball, reviewed, replays said it was a fumble, announcers say it's a fumble, refs say...no fumble. Seahawks chance to tie. Wilson pass bounces off turf and straight up in air. INT. Reviewed. Replays show incomplete, announcers say incomplete, refs say complete. Game over. Sure, at some point there must have been calls in our favor. But it's like betting. Are you more likely to obsess over a fluky win or agonize for years over a fluky loss? Here's a hint. The loss. It's psychological.

 

The players got suspended for something. It's fair to say that at no point can we refer to the substance as "performance enhancing" because in all likelyhood it wasn't, but all the information we have is coming from the players. The onus is on you to prove them wrong, so go ahead and do that, otherwise he believe what they say because there is no evidence to the contrary. Ironically, it's innocent until proven guilty, when guilty.

 

Nick Foles clearly has not started enough games to qualify for a season and half stat when he has less than a season's worth of game starts. It's like he doesn't have enough at bats to qualify for the batting title.

[phillybear 366]

It's not really a surprise to see the Seahawks play flat. They've done it at various times this year, including the first halves of the Houston and Tampa Bay games. The difference was that this time they were unable to get away with it, so in the macro view, that is a valuable lesson for a young team to learn, especially NOT in the playoffs. The defense forced 4 turnovers last week, and should have been more if not for terrible officiating in the review booth, but they were giving up chunks of yards on big passing plays. Nice to get Walter Thurmond back today into the secondary. It's important to note that todays game against the Rams I expect to be relatively easy. Why? Well, let's not forget that the Seahawks were missing 3 starting offensive lineman and were playing their 4th road game in 5 weeks, which is a terrible scheduling spot, in the first matchup. After that close first game, the Rams went on to a respectable 4-3 record, but were outgained in total yardage in 6 of those 7 games. The only game they realistically won convincingly was last week over Tampa Bay, in a game TB seemed to self destruct with penalties. The Seahawks offensive play calling has been terrible for weeks now, as if they are purposefully calling basic vanilla plays in an effort to disguise what they want to do come playoff time. Instead of resting starters, they are resting plays. Crazy? Maybe. But the offense played like sh!t last week. The special teams played retarded. It was a comedy of errors. And I still haven't found a camera angle were that ball didn't bounce off the turf to ice the game for Arizona.

 

Seattle 37

St Louis 16

 

Of course, my reaction to the Arizona loss/preview of St Louis game at the end of the season. Refs? Sure. Other stuff to blame? You betcha.

[Hawkfin 32]

I think Sherman is the top corner too and at least in the top 4 with Hayden, Revis, and Peterson who took a huge step this year.
Revis has fallen back in my mind even the year before he got hurt.

Teams DON'T throw that much at Sherman actually -That's what make his Int.'s so much more impressive. Teams continually go away from him, and as soon as they do, he usually makes them pay for it. Also, when we get a lead, teams have no choice. Or if they want to go to there #1 WR, who Sherman mans up most of the time they are forced too. Sherman finds the endzone all the time, which makes him a special kind of shut down corner. Something Tillman did well also, but is old now.

 

Sherman is a great story like him or not and he's easily a "stud corner." I'm thankfull to have him and enjoy the cockyness he brings to Seattle as our sports nation has typically had no heart or fire under their asses. This team does and I love it!

 

As far as bad calls this year: I think only the S.F. game was "somewhat" bad. But, not a dealbreaker and it surely didn't effect if we could have won or not. The Colt game (Safety vs TD for the Hawks) was a close call. Maybe a bad call, but they called it that way on the field so hard to over turn it. The rest of that game was fine to me.

Again, we had a 12-0 lead. We lost it, not due to the ref's. We did the mistake Cinn just did in letting Hilton get deep on us.

 

Arizona and all the other games have been called perfectley IMO.

 

I would say I have not seen "really bad calls" since the SB vs Pitts. I think we've benifited on calls (GB game, etc.) since Holmgren left.

The S.F. at there home was close, but we got a few calls too. I just think Harbaooo's crying baited the Ref's into calling a bunch of .

But, still was not horable.

 

Calls - Non factor for 3 years now. Plus this team can overcome it, which is nice to finally see. You need to play ur game! Not worry about ref's. Every team gets a bad calls here or there.

 

Love Wilson, if he has the stats or not. Love his leadership and what he does. He'll be on the level of Brees, Rodgers soon and I think

maybe this year if we can lock up a SB in only his 2nd year.

 

Anyway, what am I thinking? Back to

Reviewed. Replays show incomplete, announcers say incomplete, refs say complete. Game over. Sure, at some point there must have been calls in our favor. But it's like betting. Are you more likely to obsess over a fluky win or agonize for years over a fluky loss? Here's a hint. The loss. It's psychological.

 

The players got suspended for something. It's fair to say that at no point can we refer to the substance as "performance enhancing" because in all likelyhood it wasn't, but all the information we have is coming from the players. The onus is on you to prove them wrong, so go ahead and do that, otherwise he believe what they say because there is no evidence to the contrary. Ironically, it's innocent until proven guilty, when guilty.

 

Nick Foles clearly has not started enough games to qualify for a season and half stat when he has less than a season's worth of game starts. It's like he doesn't have enough at bats to qualify for the batting title.

Foles could probably have below average games in as many as he would need to qualify for your make-believe year and a half milestone and still be ahead of Wilson. He had the third best passer rating of ALL-TIME this year.

And the onus isn't on me or anyone else to prove the players wrong. The got busted for failing a drug test and the players union sees that the results are never released to the public. This is to protect the players. Why do you suppose they negotiated that into it? So they could get busted taking PEDs and tell people it was only pot. Smarten up a little, will you?

 

And again, they lost three games and you blame all three on the refs. No one above the age of ten does that. You sound like a focking retard.

LETS GO SEAHAGS! :clap:

I think Sherman is the top corner too and at least in the top 4 with Hayden, Revis, and Peterson who took a huge step this year.

Revis has fallen back in my mind even the year before he got hurt.

Teams DON'T throw that much at Sherman actually -That's what make his Int.'s so much more impressive. Teams continually go away from him, and as soon as they do, he usually makes them pay for it. Also, when we get a lead, teams have no choice. Or if they want to go to there #1 WR, who Sherman mans up most of the time they are forced too. Sherman finds the endzone all the time, which makes him a special kind of shut down corner. Something Tillman did well also, but is old now.

 

Sherman is a great story like him or not and he's easily a "stud corner." I'm thankfull to have him and enjoy the cockyness he brings to Seattle as our sports nation has typically had no heart or fire under their asses. This team does and I love it!

 

As far as bad calls this year: I think only the S.F. game was "somewhat" bad. But, not a dealbreaker and it surely didn't effect if we could have won or not. The Colt game (Safety vs TD for the Hawks) was a close call. Maybe a bad call, but they called it that way on the field so hard to over turn it. The rest of that game was fine to me.

Again, we had a 12-0 lead. We lost it, not due to the ref's. We did the mistake Cinn just did in letting Hilton get deep on us.

 

Arizona and all the other games have been called perfectley IMO.

 

I would say I have not seen "really bad calls" since the SB vs Pitts. I think we've benifited on calls (GB game, etc.) since Holmgren left.

The S.F. at there home was close, but we got a few calls too. I just think Harbaooo's crying baited the Ref's into calling a bunch of ######.

But, still was not horable.

 

Calls - Non factor for 3 years now. Plus this team can overcome it, which is nice to finally see. You need to play ur game! Not worry about ref's. Every team gets a bad calls here or there.

 

Love Wilson, if he has the stats or not. Love his leadership and what he does. He'll be on the level of Brees, Rodgers soon and I think

maybe this year if we can lock up a SB in only his 2nd year.

 

Anyway, what am I thinking? Back to

Stick around. If there were more Seahawk fans like you and Kopy, and less like phillybear and Flahwaker, Seattle wouldn't be despised like they are by everyone.
