He has guts. If I was a quarterback and I threw the ball at my receiver 4 times in a game and it was picked all 4 times, I wouldn't throw to him for the rest of the season.

They showed the 2012 game vs. the Patriots last night on NFL Network. Amazing how much better Wilson is now.
Also amazing how many closeups of Aaron Hernandez they included.

I (and other's) heard it a slightly different way: "They don't want it! They don't wan't! Man, I want it! I ain't losing!"
Either way awesome to see Russ getting pumped up. Very rarely does he let that out.

Yeah, could be "They don't want it..." Looks like he says the same thing. Either way; chills.
The video him calling his shot is both awesome and a bit humorous. http://www.seahawks.com/news/articles/article-1/NFL-Turning-Point-NFC-Championship---Seattle-Seahawks-vs-Green-Bay-Packers/faf5f594-b561-400b-a570-74c1206a66c1
ETA: One thing that is striking about these videos is the level of passion and emotion that the Seahawk players have in the pregame as compared to the Packers (Rodgers sounds a bit milquetoast). Reminds me of the Sound FX from Super Bowl 48. The Broncos just didn't have the same intensity.

Even before OT started there is a distinct difference between the 2 teams. Kam gathered the troops and was screaming at the top of his lungs giving a speech to the team On the Packer sideline they were ho hum and just said "ok guys we'll get a 3 and be fine"

I love the coin flip and watching Rodgers' face. When it turns up heads he has this look like "I can't ####### believe the ####ty luck we have..."

Watched the Sound FX and Wilson was hacking through out the whole thing. A bad cold or chest infection could explain his bad play. Good thing God is a Seahawk fan.

Watching Wilson's meeting with the media right now. You can tell the impact Carroll has had on him. It's actually hilarious. He's a Carroll clone. The way he speaks; the phrases he uses; his mannerisms. If you read the media transcript of a general question which isn't QB-specific, you'd have no clue which one of them was answering.
Oh, good. As I'm typing this, they cut away from Wilson's presser where he was providing detailed, thoughtful answers in order to cover jerkoff Lynch saying "you know why I'm here" 56 times.

When is the world going to realize what a ridiculous hack Prisco is? I'm also pretty sure he was talking about how Arians (he's a Cards homer) was going to expose the Seahawks defense just a few weeks ago. Prisco puts the "oucheba" in ########.

If his coaches had called their usual running back play think how much more awesome his rep might be right now.

If he hits that pass he is a God and Brady as GOAT loses some currency. That's how fickle we are as fans.

If Kearse presses up field, if Browner allows it, Butler then can't make Super Bowl history. All that's left to question is whether Lockett catches a perfectly thrown pass. The subsequent affects are incredibly far reaching, it's like the play and it's minute aspects have an It's a Wonderful Life feel to them.

Yeah he looked great heaving that ball downfield for the hail mary again. That's been his MO. Just chuck and hope. Got the 2 pt conversion doing that against the Packers and again this week to Kearse. Then of course he threw the ball too high at the end there after making the correct read. That ball needs to be thrown to Lockette's waist. If was two feet too high.
Future does look bright for him though. I was shocked when he threw that pick at the end. But he needs some real weapons. Unfortunately the only one he had got traded away for nothing midseason.

Don't take it personally, I'm just geralizing. Of course not everyone thinks Russell Wilson is a goat because of that pass, nor Brady the GOAT because of it. However, you are now hearing plenty more of those stories in the news or in conversation. Russell's pass wasn't nearly as bad as either of Brady's two picks, but it came on the most crucial play of the game. For plenty of people that don't pay as much attention as you do, that's a huge factor. The reality is both QB's played very solid games with stretches where they simply did not. Personally, I thought Russell made a poor decision on that pass because, though it looked open at the top of his drop, his release was a bit late and his placement too high. Some of that may be due to the fact that Lockette (as Bevell pointed out) didn't cut across the face of the DB and Kearse didn't make it difficult for Butler to jump it. But that ball still should've been low and in the body, and the call was not a very good one. He had the option to audible out as well.

Wilson threw 6 tds and 5 picks in the playoffs this season. That's mediocre. His passer rating was 5th best.

Meh, kid was one ill-conceived play from being the youngest QB to win two Super Bowls. He's hands down better than any young QB out there not named Andrew Luck (and that's debatable). And the best thing is he's likely already working on improving for next season. Are you a journalist?

He was lucky to even be in that Super Bowl. He played like #### in the NFCC game.

He didn't play well, but this is overstated.Sabertooth said:
14 for 29 with 6 drops
4 interceptions, with 2 off the hands of the intended receiver, on a day with wind gusts up to 30 mph
209 passing yards and 25 rushing yards
1 passing TD, 1 rushing TD, 1 2 point conversion
Led game winning drive and threw perfect pass for game winning TD
While throwing to the worst group of targets in the NFL.
Meanwhile, Rodgers, the best QB in the NFL, was 19/34 for 178 yards, 1 TD, and 2 interceptions and ran for 12 yards. Sure, he was facing a better defense, but he was also throwing to much better targets.

Wilson's numbers were awful in regulation of that game. For the QB of any other team in the league, that's the end of it and OT never happens.
Can we stop with the nonsense that these guys are the worst group of targets in the NFL? What percentage of Wilson's passing yards in the Super Bowl came on plays where the ball was basically thrown up and the WR made an amazing play on the ball? I think I saw more of that in the last two Seattle games than just about the entire season for any other team. They're far from great, but those guys are not that bad.

I've been too busy/lazy to look it up, but did Wilson have a completion to a WR or TE who was actually drafted? Unreal what that WR corps looked like in the Super Bowl. I still can't get my head around why the didn't use more read option and sprint outs designed to get Luke Willson free in the middle of the field.

You act as though Wilson has no part of those catches but does have a part in those easy drops. They're a bottom 1/3 WR unit.

I can't think of a worse group of receivers in the league. Wilson deserves credit for making it work. Imagine if he had just one decent weapon.
I will also say that its easier to throw to crap targets when you have the best running back in the league. Also, there isn't another team that recovers from a QB throwing 4 INTs in the playoffs. No QB has that luxury but Wilson. He is very lucky to be on a team with such a special defense and dominant running game.

Freudian bubble screen? Percy played a handful of games with Wilson. Add in the stats from the Redskins game that were called back due to penalty and suddenly Russell Wilson is almost as good as Christian Ponder. Plus, Percy still hasn't shown he is unstoppable. He often trips over his own feet.

Wilson's stats the last two playoffs are eerily similar to Mark Sanchez's stats from his two playoff runs with New York. Except Sanchez didn't throw as many picks. Not saying he's the next Sanchez, but he isn't exactly carrying his team either. Both had mediocre receivers, great defenses, and strong running games and were under the age of 25.
Let's hold off on the Canton bust for a while longer.

I thought Rodgers played well considering he was hurt. GB trying to burn out the clock running it didn't boost his passing stats for the game.He didn't play well, but this is overstated.Sabertooth said:

I think calling them a bottom 1/3 unit is generous. They are collectively probably one of the three or four worst receiving corps in the NFL. The fact that they were thisclose to winning the Super Bowl with those scrubs at WR is a testament to how great the rest of the team is, Wilson included.

Especially when considering all positions (WR, TE, RB), I don't think there is a weaker group of targets. If someone disagrees, name them.

You could argue Kansas City, considering they had zero WR touchdowns in 2014. Some would say Jacksonville, too, but they have a trio of good young WRs.
Tau837
Footballguy
Disagree.
KC lack of WR TDs is largely a function of Alex Smith and play calling. And they have Charles and Kelce.
As you say, JAX has plenty of receiving talent.
