Chocolate Thunder
Let the doubting begin. This is the NFC Championship game I envisioned and the Panthers and their two wins (and the over) are going to pay for my flight to Detroit to watch the Hawks on February 5th.
Panthers are hit and miss on both offense and defense. Hopefully they are all miss next week because when they hit they are as good as anyone.So, how many guys are we going to put on Smith next week?

It's been the story of their season. The Seahawks better hope they are off their game because if they are on they can beat anyone.
The local news is that Alexander didn't know where he was until they got him off the field and sitting on the bench. After sitting on the bench and feeling better, he attempted to re-enter the game but the Doctors told him he couldn't go back in.Honest question here, so I'm not needling you at all.
What's the talk around Seattle about Shaun Alexander's injury during the game? I made the comment elsewhere that for a guy missing the most important game of his career with a concussion, he sure had a lot of energy to expend on cheerleading.
Whenever I saw Steve Young or Troy Aikman knocked out of a game, they tended to be sitting hunched over on the bench for the rest of the game with a towel over their head and a dazed look on their face.
This of course becomes especially suspect given that he's been called "soft", and given his history (since ironed out) of acrimony between himself and the team.
What's the local take on all of this?
We are few. We are quiet. We are the typical northwest fan. Scared and hopeful.Page 3 you have got to be kidding me, Seattle is 1 game away from the Super Bowl.

And why WOULD there be alot?Not many Seattle fans on here, thats for sure
The LAST CHAMPIONSHIP of ANY sort was back in 1990.
Good information here.Chuck Norris is going to sign with the Panthers. He's going to line up on the first play and roundhouse kick Matt Hasselbeck. His foot will clang against the side of Matt's helmet, shattering his own ankle in three places. Matt will call down the fury of Zeus and, as lightning channels through his body, putting on a mighty fireworks display, Shaun Alexander will reach into Chuck's torso and pull out his still-beating heart.
Don't #### with the Seahawks.
I guess some of us aren't bandwagon jumpers.And why WOULD there be alot?Not many Seattle fans on here, thats for sureThe LAST CHAMPIONSHIP of ANY sort was back in 1990.

Don't need a lot. Those that are, are. All the bandwaggoners and observers serveonly one purpose: to make more merchandise made available in Seahawks blue. Bring on the fur-hooded parka!! Been waiting for 3 years for it.And why WOULD there be alot?Not many Seattle fans on here, thats for sureThe LAST CHAMPIONSHIP of ANY sort was back in 1990.

I'm from Michigan so add pessimistic to the mix. The Locklear thing isn't ideal. The only thing I can see as a positive is if he gets really Po'd this week and comes out playing mad. Not that playing Peppers is going to be fun but at least he has something to play for now he's being hit hard in the news.We are few. We are quiet. We are the typical northwest fan.

Agreed, it's far from a gimme. We stack up well on both sides to be the winners of this but WE need to play our top game. No slow starts and getting hot later. Carolina can hang with anyone when they're on so we have to make sure they're out of reach from the start. I like our line a ton more than CHI and expect plenty of holes for SA to bust through and playaction for the NFC leading QB to trash their D. Just like last week, I am not nervous or scared, but confident. But it will be a true test, if we ARE the team we think we are, this is the game to prove it. Dman, it's finally good to be a 'Hakws fan. Well, it's always good but this year it's better.I'm from Michigan so add pessimistic to the mix. The Locklear thing isn't ideal.

Looking at Carolina's schedule I see some impressive wins against Atlanta, @ Tampa, and then some not so impressive games vs the Saints, Cowboys, Bucs, and Bills. They recovered well vs Chicago after having their asses handed to them earlier this year so there is no doubt they will be ready.
The Seahawks have to take it to them early and often to solicit a game like they played vs the Bucs in Carolina. This team has won two road games in the playoffs and are 8-2 this year away from home. Plus a lot of these guys have been here before and Delhomme is 5-1 in the playoffs. I like our chances, but they have to play their best game of the year this week.
I have never been this excited about the Hawks and maybe only the 97 Red Wings in pro sports tops this high. In 83/84 I was still young so it didn't mean as much especially after living through the past 21 seasons of crap. I'm not nearly as nervous this week because they won a playoff game and really shed a lot of bad mojo in the process. Now I think it boils down to who is the better team. I think Seattle is a little better from head to toe so it all boils down to execution and whether they can run the ball. Even if Carolina plays their best game the Seahawks can easily hang by playing their kind of game.Agreed, it's far from a gimme.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't there be aChuck Norris is going to sign with the Panthers. He's going to line up on the first play and roundhouse kick Matt Hasselbeck. His foot will clang against the side of Matt's helmet, shattering his own ankle in three places. Matt will call down the fury of Zeus and, as lightning channels through his body, putting on a mighty fireworks display, Shaun Alexander will reach into Chuck's torso and pull out his still-beating heart.

called in there somewhere, like for illegal contact or something? 
The officials wouldn't see it because they'd be preoccupied with the lightening Hasselbeck is channeling. Duh.Seahawks fans are around, we're just not used to this and a little bit in shock. We don't know how to deal with this whole thing, and it's not in our nature to get too cocky about our team. Rest assured, however, that we're here, fired up, and rooting hard for our team.Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't there be aChuck Norris is going to sign with the Panthers.

I had visions of the 83-84 defenses. Except they ran an entirely different scheme, got after the quarterback more, and created more turnovers. Oh, and they sent a ton of guys to the pro-bowl too. Actually, they were nothing alike.I have never ever seen the defense play that well, I hope they can do it again.

I was 14. It was just when I was becoming a real fan. After they did so well in the 83 playoffs (Monster upset in Miami vs young Marino) everyone on the planet was picking the Seahawks to win it all in 84. Vegas had them WAY out in front as a favorite to be in the Super Bowl. The hype was intense all over the place. Much more so than the 95 or 00 Mariners.And then it all came crashing down in the first game when Warner blew the knee. They still went 12-4 and ended up losing to Marino in the playoffs. The defense on that team was awesome. Would consistently only rush 3 DL and got tons of pressure. I think all three guys up front were in double digit sack totals. On top of that Kenny Easley was a beast. He was huge and brought the wood too many times to count. He was an amazing athlete. He even returned some punts (one for a score if I remember correctly). They were an odd team because of the killer defense mixed with an aerial attack on offense. Krieg threw for 32 TDs. 32! That more than anyone else threw for this year. Still one of the best years ever by a QB. And with no running game to speak off.I was 4 in 1983, I can't help you a whole lot![]()
Or even Jeff West.Shick, How could you forget freaking Norm Johnson?

They play in the WHL (Western Hockey League). It is one of the three branches (along with the OHL (Ontario Hockey League) and the QMJHL (Quebec & Maritime Junior Hockey League)) of the CHL (Canadian Hockey League) which is the highest level of junior hockey in Canada. It's the premiere place for kids to play right before being drafted into the NHL and future stars from all over the world are starting to play there, not just Canadian juniors.Oh, and now Chuck Norris is telling me we should get back to talking about football.Not many.

I met Daryl Turner who is from Flint Michigan a few years ago. I was wearing a Seahawks hat at a gas station and he said he was a big fan as well! He said do you remember a receiver named Daryl...and I said Turner before he could finish. Nice guy.
beast!Smoo...hypothetical for you. Say the Seahawks had to play Chuck Norris and 10 CN clones on a space platform off the moon of Titan. The defense is playing a Tampa two with the free safety drifting toward the line of scrimmage. How does Hasselbeck find the soft spot and identify the real Chuck Norris? Who wins the game based on the variables I've provided?One time a small comet fragment fell into a synchronous orbit with the Earth. The planet was catching up with it and was going to collide, so they sent out Mack Strong to block. Not only did he muscle the comet fragment straight into the sun, but the vacuum of his wake sped up the Earth's rotation, and that's why we have leap years.
He rears back and punches the ground. The resultant shockwave will send the Chuck Norris players flying outwards from the seismic ripple. Joe Jurevicius will then leap into the revealed soft spot and take the ball for a first down and probably a lot more.The real Chuck Norris will be the one cowering under the bleachers.Smoo...hypothetical for you.

Hint: Walker Texas Rangers is the team name and Bolo is the defensive coordinator.
Hint duex: The atmospheric pressure near the surface of Titan is about 1.6 bars, 60 percent greater than Earth's and Titan's surface temperature appears to be about -178°C.

Take a deep breath and take these into account.Ken Lucas is overrated. If he was any good Seattle would not of let him get away. If Chris Gamble can't play that means Ricky Manning JR.

If DJax can't play(and I am sure he will) JJ who leads the team in TD's will be fine.

This is homer talk. Have you seen him play all season? He was pro-bowl material this year. He rarely gets beat and has proven to be an excellent tackler.
