Making a run like Seattle did last season was more than just a few unwanted football players found by John Schneider and Pete Carroll making good and realizing victorys when others, many first round picks, could not.
It was a season of tempering the metal....learning the way to overcome considerable obsticals in many contests where lesser teams could fail with no loss of respect.
This year's team has evolved into true champions that will do whatever it takes to win and preserve their earned respect. They are a true juggarnaut. They will take what is rightfully theirs and if not the team that stands in their way will pay dearly for what it takes to put the Seattle Seahawks down.
Sure...they could lose . But who is willing to pay the price to beat them? It will take an extra ordinary team with a will that is stronger than the Hawks. I don't believe that team exists.
exactly,neither do I.
Last year in his second season, Wilson was still growing and learning as a quarterback.He made several strides from his first season as a rookie to last year.
He has advanced far beyond what he was doing last year which as i said several times,is scary for the rest of the league.its not like this is Manning or Brady playing on his last legs hoping he has something left.
something the people who dont follow the seahawks like we do dont understand "and even I didnt understand it near as much as you did in the beginning last year when i started watching them every week." is that last season while he was still learning the position at the pro level,he was playing behind a patched up offensive line the majority of the season.
they never got completely healthy until the playoffs started and they still never really jelled until the superbowl.They got all their offensive linemen starters back in time for the playoffs but they had been out for so long they were rusty in the playoffs.by the time the superbowl started,they had finally gotten completely healthy and we saw what happened when they were all healthy and had all their horses in that game.
thats why it hacks me off about the people being negative on this thread about it is because they all never took the time to read the OP.they didnt bother to read past the thread title.

had they done so they would have seen the part i said that they okung and unger in the first game were shaking off rust since they had not played the majority of the pre season coming back in the off season from injurys from last year.

thereofre i end up repeating the same thing over and over to the naysayers since they dont bother to read the OP.
Last year there most difficult stretch of games was early in the season when they had to play 4 out of their five games on the road.they had houston whom they almost lost to because at THAT time,the texans were playing well when they faced them.they had not gone into a losing mode yet.then there was the INDY game where the officials gave them the game,their first loss of the season because the colts had hometown refs in their corner.even colt fans who saw that game with me even thought the refs took it from them.
THIS year,after the game against the donkeys at home,this would be tough for any other team since 3 of the 4 games are on the road after that except these teams are so weak anybody who knows this team would be a fool to pick them to lose.lol
the road games are against the redskins,rams,and panthers. the skins? the team that has no defense and a QB STILL playing on one leg? thats a laugh. the rams who are down to their third string quarterback? they are really going to lose to them? lol the panthers? who right now dont have their starting quarterback and lost all their starting wide recievers? you cant be serious? lol
their next toughest part of their schedule allegedly is having four of 6 games on the road coming agains the chiefs who have the worse offense in the league practically annd a horrible pass defense as well,the niners who are a far worse team this year than last year,i mean they barely beat the cowgirls who are a joke of a team.lol then there is the eagles who have an inconsistant quarterback who will have nightmares against the hawks defense,then the cardinals.
the cards were the ONE team that i worried about them losing to keeping them undefeated but that was before they had major key injurys to players on their defense in the pre season games who are out for the season and how they just barely beat a creampuff team fromthe AFC the chargers on monday night.seriously?

at this point if they are undefeated this late in the season,they wont mail it in against this team like they did last year.they did last year against this team cause they had nothing to play for.
they were going to clinch home filed advantage throughout the playoffs with a win the following week against the rams and they were not undefeated having lost a couple games previously so they had nothing to play for at that time last year.this year if they are undefeated at that point like i believe they will be,,they WILL have something to play for.
as long as they stay undefeated,this is my other thread i will be keeping alive throughout the season as well.
