LOL....SEATTLE
SO WON THAT GAME.
And all in the last 44 seconds of regulation. LOL. The offense didn't show up until then, but when they did....BOOM! The Packers played a heck of a game, but really, they should have capitalized more on the fiasco that was the first 55 or so minutes of that game. Had they done that, it would have been a different story. So, as far as that goes, the Hawks defense did a heck of a job too.
The funny thing is, we've been waiting for a decent team here in Seattle since 1979 (when the Sonics finally
didn't choke). Our teams come from a long line of chokers (see the Mariners, just about any year)...and when we have a team that is actually able to go the distance...and OMG...WIN...everyone's a hater. I have seen so much chatter like this (not picking on you, but you did use
BIG RED FONT, LOL. And really, compared to other things I've seen and heard, this is mild), and as a sports fan, I'm surprised. It's more than friendly rivalry...it's pointed at the Seahawks and Seattle, and I guess I don't know why really...
Over the years (decades?), Seattle fans have learned to be more circumspect I think...we like sports and we enjoy the game...the only time I actively root against a team - and to be fair, it's more about rooting FOR my team, than against anyone - is when they are playing against my team...other than that, I enjoy the contest and might choose whichever team or other to root for...I'm wondering if that is a result of rarely having a team in the hunt, or just more of a Pacific Northwest attitude...either way, I don't understand the "anyone but Seattle" sentiment.
I give all the other great football dynasties their due - but I think that Seattle is making their mark (finally, hopefully, please?)...and hopefully, we'll be around for awhile...If not, we are here now, and we are enjoying the heck out of it, however long it lasts! We finally know how cities with winning teams feel...you should be kinder as we don't have a lot of experience here
And now, I'm heading out to pick up something the GB fans (and those of 29 other teams) can't this year...a jersey from MY TEAM, with a SuperBowl logo on it. You might want to get one too - they might be rare in the long run!
So that's all...sorry if this felt like a rant - it's not intended to be - I'm just really surprised at how much emotion and negative energy is directed at our little corner of the world...
I guess the best revenge is to win...here's hoping we bring back another Lombardi on 2/2...would be nice to hear the quiet for a bit.
Just sayin' (GO HAWKS!!!!)
WOW....filling up fast. As of the post by GDFRY, we have 35 folks ready to pony up blanks.
For any Seattle fans, YOU DID NOT WIN! Green Bay choked.....! So there! :mad-tongue:
My favorite teams are Green Bay and ANYONE who plays against Seattle! Even (forgive me for saying this) New England. Ouch, that hurt to say....
