*OFFICIAL* I hate the Seahawks thread (1 Viewer)

People hate the great teams. Seattle has been elite for 2 1/2 years now. The last 2 years they've gotten a ton of publicity because of their characters and chances are they've also beaten your team recently.

Also a lot of people dislike Sherman because of he voices his opinion. But what makes people absolutely hate Sherman is the fact that he is always right.

Most fans are tired of hearing about the 12th Man every time they turn on the tv, and I don't blame them. I can only imagine how annoying that would be. A lot of fans are also jealous that their fanbase can't be as loud consistently from start to finish as Seattle fans are. (And please don't believe anything you read about CLink being the made to be the loudest stadium in the world. it's still an outdoor stadium. What makes it unique is the fact that it creates a similar noise effect as a dome WHILE still being an outdoor stadium, but noise still escapes. It would be even louder-and it was- if they were back in the Kingdome).

Very rarely does Seattle blow a team out from start to finish. Fans of these teams have seen how hyped up by the media/fans this Seattle team is, and then watch the game to see their team hang on into the 4th quarter, and think victory could be in sight. Then they watch as their team fades away. Seattle is the best 2nd half team in the NFL, and their physical style of play wears on opponents. That's frustrating for most fans as they come away thinking Seattle isn't really that good, that they just had a few plays at the end. And no I'm not saying they weren't fortunate the win the NFCCG.

I had honest dislike for the 10-years-ago seahawks (mostly bc of Jerramy Stephens and Holmgren) But I like this Seattle team. Defense is nasty, and I <3 Lynch and Sherman.

I will be cheering for them on sunday because fukcaWholePileOfThePatriots.

Plus Sherman is legit with the skills and the mind. Loved what he had to say about the NCAA the other day. Same thing with him calling out Goddell for making players talk to the media but then dodging the mic himself during the worst times (like the Ray Rice scandal, etc.) Sherm speaks truth to power.

 
I dont hate the seahawks players, i just hate tge entire seahawks franchise from day one til today and wish north korea would drop a dirty bomb on them

 
Biggest issue I had was Sherman disrespecting Crabtree the way he did. I get that trash talk is part of his game but what he said was completely classless. Since then it's been mostly just hot air from him, easily ignored. But I really liked what he said about Goodell, and I got a kick out of Lynch this week too. In the space of two weeks I went from despising both teams to rooting for the Seahawks to repeat. Granted, the Pats being so detestable has a lot to do with it, but I don't see many reasons to hate Seattle. It would suck to watch a super bowl and wish both teams could lose. So go Seattle, woooo. :shrug:

 
Daughters are 5, 10, 12 ugh

Wife maybe, wouldn care

Grandmas both dead ugh

Would it be asking too much of God to send a plague of locusts to devour the Seattle seahawks hotel? Maybe send a wave if festering boils after

 
Despite them thrashing my team in last year's Super Bowl, I don't hate the Seahawks. I don't like Pete Carroll at all, but Russell Wilson is one of my favorite players to watch. Their defense is extremely arrogant, but they back it up, so you've got to give them that. On the flip side, Richard Sherman going silent like he did after some losses early in the season showed how he is one of those "I talk big when we are winning, but slink away when we lose" guys. I don't hate Lynch for what he is doing with the media, but he is acting like a child. Let's see, what else? Oh yeah, Doug Baldwin needs to get over the persecution complex and realize that Seattle's collective WR corps is very mediocre and mostly just along for the ride.

I remember saying that as a Cowboys fan in the early 90s. Enjoy it while it lasts. Free agency, salary caps, low draft positioning criples the best of teams. Which is why New England is forced to cheat to stay competitive.

Yep...Giants would've been a dynasty, but they couldn't afford to re-sign Mario Manningham. :(

:lmao:

I moved here in '96 and spent almost every fall Sunday at the Cheerful Tortoise to watch NFL games. Back then, I was absent kids, could legally bet on games through Sports Action and was new to Fantasy Football. The Cheerful Tortoise was my church and the NFL was my religion. This was before the explosion of DirecTV and Sunday Ticket.

Portland is a funny town. It's crazed with sports fans, yet due to the amount of transplants from other parts of the country, Sundays see a great mixture of NFL jerseys and fans. Raiders fans, Bronco fans, 49er fans, Cheif fans, Cowboy fans, Patriot fans....Portland is a destination city and for not having its own NFL team, is a great place to hole up and watch the games. Sports bars are generally packed and the crowds are into the action.

Know what I didn't see here for years and years? Seattle jerseys. Nor a clamoring for Seattle games at the bars. Seattle is and was Portland's older, bullier city, constantly thumbing its nose at us. Root for the Seahawks? Not a chance. F You. We already have to suffer through a summer full of Mariner fever, which is almost as bad as malaria. But root for the Seachickens? Not here. Just didn't happen.

Until now. Now, it is Seattle mania here. Jerseys adorn men and women who lack the curb appeal to pull off a jersey. Flags are flying in neighborhoods. Starbucks baristas are saying "GO Seahawks" when you buy a coffee. Checkers in stores are wearing Marshawn Lynch gear. It wasn't like this when Seattle got jobbed in the 2005 Super Bowl. But now, the fervor is tremendous.

Won't catch me jumping on board. New. Money.

What do you want him to say?

Also, by all player accounts Sherman doesn't talk trash on the field at all

This describes L.A. too. There's still a fair amount of Raiders fans, but the sports bar I spent my Sundays was full of every jersey you could imagine, even a couple Jags fans.

I highly doubt it. Seattle is riding the success of having the good fortune of having Russell Wilson being a top 7 NFL quarterback and bring paid peanuts. They have a lot of young players outperforming their draft spot. But they're all going to want to be paid. Once Wilson's salary multiplies by 20, and these other rookie contracts start expiring, they're going to start losing key players. And they'll come back to the pack.
 
Yeah I cant stand em. I hope they lose Sunday so they'll be 1-2 in SBs. Nothing stings quite as much as a SB loss, IMO...getting THAT close and not getting it done is worse than losing in the playoffs, and I'd love to see them get humbled.

The whole franchise reminds me of an overcast, rainy day. Blech.

 
They've been saying for a week now that Richard Sherman's gf is due to give birth any day now. Would be cool if it was on sb Sunday...

I agree with most of this, but as a born and bred Oregonian I have a little different take. I think that there has been a large following of Hawk fans in Portland you just haven't seen them at the bars because we get every single Seahawk game televised. I was a season ticket holder 97-2003 and I-5 was packed with Seattle fans headed to the game from Portland. I agree that there are a #### ton of people in Portland rocking Seattle gear that have no business doing so. I also hate bandwagon fans in general because I can't get my season tickets back. I have been on the waiting list for three years. I agree that Portland is a great football town with fans representing every NFL team. I agree that we get the Mariners shoved down our throat.

Don't worry, some day they will go 4-12 again and things will go back to normal.

McGarnicle, I am a Niner die-hard, live in SF, and still cannot believe our play-calling could not convert with a 1st and goal.

The well-chronicled back story is Crabtree tried to fight Sherman at a charity event. Crabtree is a diva. For a top 10 draft pick, he has done jack for us.

He got owned big-time on that 4th down play. He makes a grab and catches it, Niners are in the SB. Sherman made a great play and the 'Hawks advanced.

Things get competitive out there, emotions run high, especially on the final play that sends your team to the Super Bowl.

If I were in Sherman's shoes, in that moment, against a diva that tried to fight you at a charity event, I would have let him know about it too, TV cameras be damned. I thought it was pretty funny. Crabtree had a breakout and high hopes for this year, but he was absolutely a turd.

I'm enjoying every bit of success that Seattle has right now. No-one needs to lecture me on that. I went to Seattle's first playoff game in the 80s and then waited for 3-4 presidents until the got in again.

Losing guys for cap reason is obvious. Seattle lost Tate last year and Harvin's contract is now completely, if not almost completely, off the books. Hawks will lose CB Maxwell this year.

Almost every key defensive player is already signed long term (Earl, Kam, Bennet, Avril, Sherman etc etc etc..), meaning next 2-3 years with Wilson's cap hit already figured Apparently that also includes an expected re-signing of Bobby Wagner. John Clayton was on the radio today and stated something to the effect of "Not only has Seattle drafted great players, but they've been fortunate and savvy enough to work the salary cap and keep them on their team."

Well aware that Seattle hit the Russell Wilson jackpot and how the salary cap doesn't make things easier for the future. But still, while making Seattle drafting a plethora of guys outperforming their draft positions from 2011-12 into a cap hit negative; it's only fair to note the same management has been drafting other guys who are waiting in the wings from 13 and 14.

Go Hawks! Can't wait for tomorrow.

I live in Portland, OR. forever the national media just assumes Portland is a large suburb of Seattle and we kind of are. We share the same climate, same type of people/geography/cultures. So you see a lot of marketing around here for the Mariners & Seahawks.

However, since I was a boy and first started watching the NFL in the mid 70's I've always disliked the Seahawks. At first they were just a crappy expansion team with low expectations, but they pretty much remained a crappy team for 25-30 years. During that same period of time I became a lifelong Steeler fan and overall a big fan of the NFL in general.

Because of NFL tv rules, Portland was always piped in the Seahawks games on Sundays. So for the same time period where for example the 49'ers had a dynasty, the cowboys had a dynasty, the giants, bears and bills all had really good teams, we never got to see those games. We got to see Seahawks vs Lions. I grew to hate the Seahawks.

here it is 2015 and I still hate the Seahawks. I hope they slide under a gas truck. I hope the Patriots beat them 55-3 and cheat the whole time.

join me in hating the Seahawks here. There's plenty of hate to go around
