SEA: Quietest 9-1 team in history? (1 Viewer)

[ImTheScientist]

Complete frauds. They've beaten a bunch of garbage and lost to the one decent team they faced. They'll be one of the easiest outs in the playoffs.

There is truth to this, but the season opening @ Carolina win is looking more and more impressive, and they did trounce SF (albeit at home). Of course, those are the kinds of things a relatively unproven team would point to. There really is no excuse for allowing Zac Stacy and Mike James to run all over them.

Not really....the Carolina team they played in week 1 is not the team that just man handled the 49ers. There's been so much growth/change in that Carolina team it's ridiculous. Seattle beat a very bad Carolina team at the beginning of the year.

The Seahawks have added Bruce Irvin, Chris Clemmons, a healthy Cliff Avril and will add Percy Harvin in a week or two. Not to mention they will have back 3 of their 5 starting offensive linemen back that they don't currently have. Cam doesn't have the mental strength to go into Seattle and win. Better luck next year.

Willful ignorance must really be bliss eh?? Aside from that, your post has EXACTLY ZERO to do with anything I posted. Take your crappy fishing expedition elsewhere

I see the truth hurts. Its not my fault you are Seahawks ignorant. I don't blame you......Im just here to inform you. I understand most people don't care about a team as remote as the Hawks are.

Seattle with home field advantage is a nightmare for the nfc.

This is really it.

Seattle with home field advantage is a big deal. It almost doesn't matter how good or "quiet" they are.

Seattle is more or less a game up on the Saints, they will beat MIN then bye.

Both NO & SEA have not lost in the NFC. Both are great at home.

SEA has two big games left, vs NO & @SF. The Saints still have a very tough schedule ahead, including of course SEA, but also SF, CARx2, @ATL on TNF.

Things seem stacked really well for the Hawks right now, only caveat is if the Saints get past SF & ATL and then steal one in ths Hawks' home.

Seahawks have the most wins on the road in the NFL right now. I wish people would stop spewing the media's junk.

We know Seattle plays better at home. That stadium was made to be loud and the defense feeds off of it.

Besides Eagles are 5-0 on the road. Better watch out if they come to town in the divisional round.

True, see there's hope, that could happen too.

Carolina's D has been very good all season with their front seven playing dominant from the beginning. Cam has shown more maturity this season, and some of that has been on display more recently. Offensively the only piece who has returned is Stewart, and it's hard to say at this point he's made a difference. So I can see some progress in Cam's game through the season, but the D has been lights out since that first game. Carolina hasn't been very bad at any point this season, so what is the great growth you've seen? I've thought they're a likely division winner even with the Saints getting the band back together, and I've thought that since week one.

This thread is lame. The only good part about it is that it will be decided on the field.

Then the thread will get even more lame when someone from the winning team bumps the thread and the losing team makes excuses. So lets get them out of the way now.

What Saints fan will say if they lose:

The game was on the road.

Graham, Colston were still banged up

The refs gave all the calls to the Seahawks.

Here is the excuses the Seahawks will give.

The refs gave all the calls to the Saints because everyone loves Brees and the Saints.

Injuries are killing us, we are missing guys from our line, Rice, and Harvin and Lynched are banged up or not playing.

 

[ImTheScientist]

The Seahawks only need to win Home games from here on out to play in the Superbowl.

What else is there to say, though I doubt you will see much excuse making from Saints fans. They have lost on the road in the playoffs at SF & Seattle and everyone knows they have trouble with good running teams, good defenses, sometimes mobile QBs & on the road on real turf. And Seattle has a major home advantage. No surprises here.

And hey there's nothing "quiet" about the team leading the NFC and a team every pundit mentions for their Super Bowl favorite from the NFC.

 

[Breesisdaman]

You do realize the Saints were coming off a brutal game against the Pats, had a short week because of a thursday night game and Colston, Sproles, Graham were banged up? You came very close to getting upset by the Rams backup QB in a very low scoring affair . The Saints have looked more impressive in their 2 loses than the hawks have looked in several games this year. I watched you get lucky in both the Texans and Rams wins. That luck will run out eventually.

Why are you spreading this misinformation in multiple threads?

And by misinformation, I mean lies, wrong facts, etc.

My guess is he's had a few drinks and will regret all of this in the am. It's certainly happened to me.
My apologies to the good Seahawks fans of this forum. I really should not post on these boards on game day after I've had a few. I can't believe some of the garbage I wrote last night. I wasn't the only one but man. Anyhow I recall the Saints having a number of wins in the year they eventually won the Superbowl-13. And we only got respect after we beat the colts. No respect before that. The Seahawks are actually getting tons of respect from the media from what I can tell.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Neither the Saints nor the Seahawks get a ton of media attention, so it is splitting hairs to debate that.

I'd rather see the Saints in the Super Bowl than the Seahawks cause a) Pete Carroll is a smug ****, and b) if my Broncos make it, too, the Saints outside in NY weather aren't nearly as intimidating as they are at home, but if the Seahawks get home field, I think they'll make it. The Saints had better win there in a few weeks, cause I don't think they'll win there in January.

But the Saints have a tougher road to home field than the Seahawks do. Best case scenario for them is them winning at Seattle, splitting with Carolina, winning the rest of their games, and hoping the 49ers beat the Seahawks in SF. That would put both at 13-3 and NO would have home field by virtue of the head to head win. But Seattle's road to home field is much less difficult right now. If they beat NO in their game, they are virtually assured of home field, barring a few unexpected losses to vastly inferior foes.

Not sure why people feel like that about Pete Carroll. He is an awesome guy....always upbeat and optimistic. Win forever.

Somebody else was making up games and non-existent excuses? I must've missed that. Contrition doesn't really work when you try to take others down with you, it lacks humility.

Everything I hear is Seahawks or 9ers likely representing the NFC in the SB.

He derides people for not knowing or showing proof of their statements but pretty much always offers up such thought out gems as "Seattle's is going to win the SB". Even I might not be able to read any Seattle stuff in here if they win it all.

The first three games of the season were brutal on offense. Starting with the head coach right on down to the execution. The defense was learning how to close out games (see the Buffalo debacle) as was the offense (see the Seattle debacle). The coaching staff has done a complete 180 with it's approach and are no longer trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. As a result the players are seeing the changes as a sign of confidence in them by the coaching staff (every player interviewed as mentioned this specifically locally). By week 4 they were talking about who was going to be taken first round of the draft. Not because they were losing but because of HOW they were losing. I know most folks haven't watched this team like those of us local, but the differences are significant. If you want to read more about the goings on, go to the Panther thread where we've been discussing this all season.

So? This also has nothing to do with my comments earlier. So far you're typing random crap into your browser window. One post having nothing to do with any of the others. Are you now attempting to give us a geography lesson? I'll save you the anatomy lesson...."the human head weighs 8 lbs". Oh, and if you're going geography, I already know about the Puget sound and all the active fault activity within. I also know it was named after our first President, it's the "evergreen state", and the state bird is a goldfinch (or something similar). You have to forgive me....my 5th grade geography is a bit rusty. I THINK the state tree was a hemlock of some sort as well.

And west coasters might not even know that Boston is north of New York or correctly name the small states between NY and Maine. Seattle and SF were almost consensus top two, with Seattle getting a very small bump over SF in their 1 or 2 ranking. Maybe 55% picked Sea over SF. But the idea that Sea has been quiet, with Sherman and Tate no less, is absurd. Their struggles against first Car (which is debunked), then Ind (soundly debunked) and the Texans, Titans, Rams and Bucs (far better imo than Atl) might have them lower than 1 or 2 in power polls, but they've still been favorites in the NFC since they trounced SF. As a matter of fact, it's extremely easy to see how much Seattle has aimed at them by how often those struggling games against lesser teams, all wins of course, are used by people as proof of them not being good. Doesn't matter that they have two guys leading the league in INTs, they get lucky by forcing turnovers. Doesn't matter how many OL they lose and still keep Lynch in the top 5 RBs, other teams' injuries are more decisive than Seattle's. So yes, it's absurd for anyone to say that Seattle is a quiet SB pick since most experts, and more importantly sports books, had them as at worst the 2nd most likely team to make it there.

Eta: not to mention the number of threads about them here and other MBs, half or more of which are started by non-Seattle fans.

Nice google treat.

Anyways....Panthers beat the whiners (thanks for doing so) but the Panthers are far from a complete team. Great defenseive line...but Cam is emotionaly unstable. He rides high when things are going well but when they are not you lose. Players like this do not win the superbowl.

I'm not upset at all. The Seahawks are doing what they were expected to do this season. Some of you guys are the ones that seem upset that more people aren't annointing them as the best team in the NFL right now.

The SF loss to Carolina was HUGE, as it now gives Seattle the tiebreaker vs common opponents.

Heard on the radio this morning that all they need to do is win the rest of their home games this year(4 in reg season and 2 in playoffs) and they will play in the Super Bowl.

And west coasters might not even know that Boston is north of New York or correctly name the small states between NY and Maine. Seattle and SF were almost consensus top two, with Seattle getting a very small bump over SF in their 1 or 2 ranking. Maybe 55% picked Sea over SF. But the idea that Sea has been quiet, with Sherman and Tate no less, is absurd. Their struggles against first Car (which is debunked), then Ind (soundly debunked) and the Texans, Titans, Rams and Bucs (far better imo than Atl) might have them lower than 1 or 2 in power polls, but they've still been favorites in the NFC since they trounced SF. As a matter of fact, it's extremely easy to see how much Seattle has aimed at them by how often those struggling games against lesser teams, all wins of course, are used by people as proof of them not being good. Doesn't matter that they have two guys leading the league in INTs, they get lucky by forcing turnovers. Doesn't matter how many OL they lose and still keep Lynch in the top 5 RBs, other teams' injuries are more decisive than Seattle's.

What does the bold mean?? Always interested in outside perspectives. From where we Panther fans stood, we thought they could compete for a while, but that Seattle was too good and would eventually wear the Panthers out. The team played like crap (sans the defense) and was in the game, getting ready to score a TD to go ahead in the fourth quarter before the fumble. For some it was a moral victory, for a lot of us it gave us pause making us rethink how good Seattle was because Carolina shouldn't have been in that game. If one's using the "see, look at the Panthers, they're really good" position to justify how close that game was, it's an epic fail IMO. The team they are putting out there now is nothing like the team pre-bye. Lots of growing up going on here in CLT by players AND coaches.

So? This also has nothing to do with my comments earlier. So far you're typing random crap into your browser window. One post having nothing to do with any of the others. Are you now attempting to give us a geography lesson? I'll save you the anatomy lesson...."the human head weighs 8 lbs". Oh, and if you're going geography, I already know about the Puget sound and all the active fault activity within. I also know it was named after our first President, it's the "evergreen state", and the state bird is a goldfinch (or something similar). You have to forgive me....my 5th grade geography is a bit rusty. I THINK the state tree was a hemlock of some sort as well.

Nice google treat.

Anyways....Panthers beat the whiners (thanks for doing so) but the Panthers are far from a complete team. Great defenseive line...but Cam is emotionaly unstable. He rides high when things are going well but when they are not you lose. Players like this do not win the superbowl.

I don't know what a "google treat" is but thanks for exposing us all to this vast knowledge of yours that apparently you've picked up in some alternate universe. It's been highly informative.

Holy #### Am I really seeing the "east coast bias" shtick in a professional sports team thread?!?!?!??!

LHUCKS would be proud...are you?

that 1 against New Orleans looks like it is going to be huge.

Hopefully it gets half as much pregame talk as Dez Bryant's sideline antics or a spat between 2 OL on a bad Miami team.

Because the Panthers are a good team, which wasn't the thought going into the season. Their offense may be a little tweaked now for the better, but their front 7 on D has been good all season long. The fact that Seattle struggled against them was used as a negative against Seattle but it shouldn't be. The Panthers aren't the bad team they were thought to be.

The Seahawks only need to win Home games from here on out to play in the Superbowl.

Everyone with a not-East-coast team has this complaint whether they're good or bad.

I disagree. I had on Sportscenter in the background last night, and for like an hour straight, any and all NFL talk was centered about the Broncos/Chargers and Cowboys/Saints games. I was wanting to see highlights of Panthers/49ers, but finally gave up since they kept talking about the same two games.

 

[TenTimes]

You do realize the Saints were coming off a brutal game against the Pats, had a short week because of a thursday night game and Colston, Sproles, Graham were banged up? You came very close to getting upset by the Rams backup QB in a very low scoring affair . The Saints have looked more impressive in their 2 loses than the hawks have looked in several games this year. I watched you get lucky in both the Texans and Rams wins. That luck will run out eventually.

Why are you spreading this misinformation in multiple threads?

And by misinformation, I mean lies, wrong facts, etc.

My guess is he's had a few drinks and will regret all of this in the am. It's certainly happened to me.My apologies to the good Seahawks fans of this forum. I really should not post on these boards on game day after I've had a few. I can't believe some of the garbage I wrote last night. I wasn't the only one but man. Anyhow I recall the Saints having a number of wins in the year they eventually won the Superbowl-13. And we only got respect after we beat the colts. No respect before that. The Seahawks are actually getting tons of respect from the media from what I can tell.

lol- this topic was started by alcohol, so it makes sense that it's also been fueled by it

Ok granted, the Cowboys and Payton Manning being exceptions.

Anyway I said it was a "complaint", ie every fan feels their team slighted.

We'll agree to disagree. I do agree that the front seven of the defense has been solid all year. I don't question that. The rest of the team is completely different now than it was the first three weeks of the season. "A little tweaked" is a complete mischaracterization of this team IMO.

Seattle with home field advantage is a nightmare for the nfc.

This is really it.

Seattle with home field advantage is a big deal. It almost doesn't matter how good or "quiet" they are.

Seattle is more or less a game up on the Saints, they will beat MIN then bye.

Both NO & SEA have not lost in the NFC. Both are great at home.

SEA has two big games left, vs NO & @SF. The Saints still have a very tough schedule ahead, including of course SEA, but also SF, CARx2, @ATL on TNF.

Things seem stacked really well for the Hawks right now, only caveat is if the Saints get past SF & ATL and then steal one in ths Hawks' home.

Seahawks have the most wins on the road in the NFL right now. I wish people would stop spewing the media's junk.

We know Seattle plays better at home. That stadium was made to be loud and the defense feeds off of it.

Besides Eagles are 5-0 on the road. Better watch out if they come to town in the divisional round.

Didn't we lose to Denver in Denver?
