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

[MDC 7,435]

Thanks!! Go Eagles!

You live in Florida, bandwagon boy.

[Sho Nuff 720]

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.

 

Yeah...they lost all of one game.

I saw the Seahawks lose to an Arizona team that is not close to Marino's team and could not capitalize on 3 turnovers by Carson freakin Palmer.

I don't think its extremely close. There are other Ds just as good as Seattle's IMO that are in that next tier of close by not there. But that close it not close enough to say they are at the absolute top.

Any Hawk fan would argue with me that they are the best? No, they really wouldn't.

[dehaven123 31]

one of the best defenses of alltime, top5 maybe.

dominating performance by the entire team in the biggest of games.

congrats to the hawks fans on a title well deserved.

[Groundhog 24]

well the sun is shinier and the birds certainly are chirpier this morning.

 

I woke up and asked myself, did that really happen? Yes. Yes it did.

 

Seattle Seahawks, champions.

 

I've spent a long, long time rooting for this franchise and it finally happened.

 

Props to fans of other teams who came on this thread and gave us props after the game for a great game and a great season. There was certainly plenty of fodder for fans of other teams to take us to task (and you did!), but when push came to shove and we throttled the Broncos 43-8 on a day when the weather was not even a factor, you acknowledged that we were the best team this season. I have no doubt you'll all be trolling us next season too, but the 'you guys never won anything' angle is no longer on the table. So there's that.

[BunnysBastatrds 2,442]

You can now spend $1,000 on memorabilia.

 

 

There's a kid in the Sudan that thinks the Broncos won.

[FlaHawker 24]

You live in Florida, bandwagon boy.

Hmm born and raised in..... wait for it.... Thanks again for the props!

[FlaHawker 24]

 

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.

Full tilt

[sandhu22 3]

YEAH SEAHAWKS BABY! What a performance, I don't think there's any reason why we can't do the same next year as well

 

Could anyone find/get me a picture of that Turbo shot where he's staring at the camera with the front page of the newspaper in his hand?

[murf74 461]

Full tilt

Pinball?

 

Or are you talking about the Seahawk fans for some reason trying to self proclaim greatest defense of all time.

 

Greatest superbowl defensive performance of all time, just take it and be happy without trying to make out more than what it was... heck you were barely ahead of Carolina and not even better than the lowly Steelers defense a few years ago

 

AWESOME performance last night by the Hawks and an awesome season. But you give Seahawk fans a really bad name.

[MDC 7,435]

How does ONE SB season give the 2014 Seabags the privelege of being a top 5 all time defense? The Ravens defense carried the team for what like 10 years with Ray Ray and Ed running the show? The Giants defense of the 80's was awesome too. It was a great performance which also benefitted from Denver not even trying. If they do this for a long time then we can talk.

Murf - please realize that Seabag fans really have nothing else to cling to so this SB win is all time everything to them. Every player on that team is the best ever. Carroll is the best coach ever, Wilson is the best QB ever, Golden Taint is the best WR ever, and Haushka is the best kicker ever. Just let them have it. They need it.

Congrats SeattleReminded me a bit of San Francisco dismantling the Broncos 55-10. The rivalry is now on a more equal footing.

 

Nice win

Because teams are usually talked about on a year by year basis. Especially in this era when the cap and free agency move everything around so much.

 

To claim Denver was not even trying is just you again sounding completely stupid.

[Sho Nuff 720]

Same with RoadLizard.

in the context of 1yr, i think it could be. it was a pretty impressive season defensively for the team.

[Joey Gladstone 33]

It's going to be a close game. Both teams are far too good for the difference to be more than a TD.

 

Great prediction @sshole! What's this guy's problem?!

[Joey Gladstone 33]

 

It still hasn't quite sunk in yet. Surreal stuff. That was about as physical of an ass-whipping I've ever seen in a championship game. A literal beat down. I almost felt sorry for Peyton during his post-game interview. Dude was being his classy, professional self and you could tell he just wanted to to go all Dennis Green meltdown.

 

[Gepetto 1,368]

Congratulations to all Seahawks fans who post here at fftoday! Enjoy your team's championship! You are great fans!

[phillybear 366]

First of all, I am surprised by some of the folks that have entered the thread to actual extend congratulations and well wishes. It fair to say that if by some chance there comes a year in the future when the Seahawks are not champions, and let's face it that day may never come, let it be known I will never offer congrats to anyone else in another team thread. Because that would be classy, and I'm nothing if not classless. And of course there don't seem to be any other team threads other than Seattle team threads at this site.

 

Further, I look back on the days of some of the real nitwits, lunkheads, and assorted neanderthals, basically fans of other teams, that spent so much time posting in these Seattle threads, folks that have disappeared for years now. If they were true representatives of the human race, I can assure you that by now they would have allowed plants to overtake us on the top of the food chain and we'd all be enslaved by our green overlords.

[phillybear 366]

What about your chubby girlfriend phillybear?

 

First of all, you shall henceforth refer to me as Phillybear, The Muscle Machine.

 

Oh, I grew up in Little Seattle in the best part of Philadelphia. Where the sidewalks were littered with emeralds, the fish market was thriving, and houses all looked like the Space Needle.

 

And you grew up an Eagles fan in Fishtown in the dingy part of Philadelphia, where the passed out trannies with names such as Emerald littered the urine soaked alleys, the women smelled like fish stew being boiled in an immigrant's apartment, and all the crack houses were littered with used needles.

[Kopy 570]

I just like this little trophy thingy.

 

[Sho Nuff 720]

I just like this little trophy thingy.

 

My team has quite a few of them....they are shiny and fun.

Enjoy.

[phillybear 366]

I notice that after quite a few seasons, you've finally modified your signature.

Seahawks star Richard Sherman says they cracked Peyton Manning's hand signal code during the Super Bowl so they were able to predict every play

The Seattle Seahawks have revealed that a good part of their defensive strategy at the Super Bowl came from the fact that they were able to decode Peyton Manning's hand signals on the field.

Controversial corner back Richard Sherman said that he and his fellow defenders cracked the code that the Denver Broncos quarterback was using, meaning that they knew exactly what to expect for each play.

'We knew what route concepts they liked on different downs, so we jumped all the routes. Then we figured out the hand signals for a few of the route audibles in the first half,' he said.

If true, that would explain why the Broncos had so much trouble scoring, getting their only points on the board in the third quarter.

'All we did was play situational football,' Sherman told Sports Illustrated's blog The MMQB (The Monday Morning Quarterback).

'Me, Earl (Thomas), Kam (Chancellor)... we’re not just three All-Pro players. We’re three All-Pro minds.'

The Stanford-educated football player, who took criticism and was fined for his self-agrandizing speech following the NFC Championship playoff game, later described the Super Bowl as 'playing chess, not checkers'.

Manning's hand signals are known within the league for being one of his common traits on the field, just as the call 'Omaha' is associated with the 37-year-old.

Manning is so closely associated with 'Omaha' that 15 companies pledged to donate $1,500 to charity each time that he said it during the Super Bowl.

Instead of his typical double digit mentions, he only said it twice during Sunday night's big game. (By comparison, Fox Sports reported that he said it 31 times during the AFC title game.)

In post game interviews, however, Manning and other Broncos offensive linemen explained that the noise at MetLife stadium stopped some of their verbal messages to one another.

'None of us heard the snap count,' Denver offensive lineman Manny Ramirez said.

'I thought I did and when I snapped it, I guess Peyton was actually trying to walk up to me at the time. I'm not 100 per cent sure. It's unfortunate things didn't go as planned.'

As for the hand signals, Manning is said to change them every game but this time the other team was paying very close attention early on, explaining how they were able to thwart his plans in the first quarter.

The other problem that plagued Manning was that he didn't switch up the system after realizing that it wasn't working.

'Now, if Peyton had thrown in some double moves, if he had gone out of character, we could’ve been exposed,' Sherman said.

Damn!!!

Nothing gets by you does it?

 

I'd really like to be able to add the word "Repeat" to that sig.

 

Gonna be tough though.

Niners are a damn fine team (even with the big fat douche bag as a head coach)

And I still think Arizona is only a capable QB and a TE away from being right up there with the 2 of us.

 

It's quit concievable the 3 best teams in the NFC are all from the West next year.

Flahawker is also dooshier, which I didn't believe was possible.

[Kopy 570]

Maybe.

I keep waiting for them to really take that step foward, and I'm shocked they havn't the past couple of years.

I'm starting to think Sam Bradford is actually the guy that's holding them back.

[Joey Gladstone 33]

I don't know if Bradford is the answer, but when they do figure out something at quarterback the division will be short on weaknesses. The Redskins made they they will have the ammo.

Maybe...by that time things can change quick.

Look at the NFC North.

Had GB and Minnesota in the playoff last year. Det and Chicago looked to be ready to make a move.

Then it all came back down to the earth this past year.

 

The West was also crappy for a while and now right back up there.

Just takes a couple of big hits in any draft for a team or two to pop right back up these days.

Bennett said he wanted to stay a Seahawk. And Tate said he would definitly take a home town discount.
