I don't want to be the center of attention. I would much rather sit back and enjoy the game.
No worries, honestly it is understandable that Seahawks fans get a bad rep around here. Most Hawks fans have a chip on their shoulder and we tend to relish the victories. Not all of us are insufferable like ITS, but I understand the perception.Yeah, as I said, I might have been projecting a bit to much (my bad); lets put the gloves on and have at it
I don't post in the Shark Pool much, and when I do it's either in Seahawks game threads, prime time game threads, and HOF-related threads. Huge homer factor and lots of emotion about people and their football teams, I leave that alone mostly. I haven't even posted in the Wilson or Harvin thread, but I did get into the Sherman thread. Those threads are a quagmire, filled with trolls. Pass.
Exactly. Just as Seahawks fans have their ITS, so do other fanbases. Lots of other teams' fans have tried to troll the ever loving hell out of Seahawks fans on this site. Most Hawks fans are smart enough to stay away from it, most of the time.
Truth. My best friend is a 49ers fan, so I don't have as much hatred as most Hawks fans do towards your team. I think most intelligent fans can tell the difference between light hearted jabs and outright trolling, but unfortunately the median IQ of the average football fan is pretty low.DD is one of the good Hawk fans on these forums...there are a bunch of them actually, but one bad apple can skew opinions of a teams posting fan base...ITS just the way it is
I'm gonna root hard for NE, but no matter who wins, I hope its half as exciting as the NE-BAL game...I'd ask for a finish as exciting and crazy as the SEA-GB game, but we may never see a finish like that again.
May the best team win.
I was rooting for the Packers, but I have to admit I wanted to play the Seahawks. I like Wilson and Carroll (got a raw deal here), but I can't stand Sherman and I think their def is overrated. However, I'm coming around, after all if the seahawks def is anywhere close to top 5 of all time then Brady playing well against them will be all that much sweeterNo worries, honestly it is understandable that Seahawks fans get a bad rep around here.

This is the matchup I most wanted to see once the playoffs were seeded. I think the two teams matchup well, and I am fan of a number of players on NE's team. Overall, I don't fear any one player on the Patriots, as much as I fear Belichick's game planning. Hawks will most likely try to take advantage of NE's run defense, and when they do take their shots, I wouldn't be surprised if they are in Browner's direction. I love Browner, but the guy is very susceptible to double moves. The knowledge of tendencies obviously plays both ways in that sense, but I think Browner is a very one dimensional CB, and Hawks WR's will have the upper hand in that matchup. I think both QBs stay away from the #1 CB on both defenses. Seattle has been able to shut down big time TEs before, so I like that matchup for the Hawks. I think we see a lot of Blount and Lynch in this game, and I think that has to favor Seattle at this point.
I think either team has a real shot to win, a real coin flip type of game. Good luck to the Patriots and their fans. Go Hawks.
I'll take things that don't matter for $500, Alex.One thing from the game yesterday. FOX credited the TD that Cobb caught against Sherman's numbers saying that catch was on him. HTF did they figure that? Cobb came from the other side of the field and was the safety's responsibility IMO. Sherman had Nelson on his side already, and if he'd have left him for Cobb, Rodgers would have just thrown to Nelson.
Yeah I know, but people make a big deal about this crap so I point it out. Maybe they changed it, hell if I know.I'll take things that don't matter for $500, Alex.One thing from the game yesterday.

I just noticed your avatar. I had that very picture hanging up in my room growing up, I'm gonna have to ask my Mom where she put it. Guaranteed they still have it, I come from pack rats. Pretty awesome to see that though.
It really is a shame that ITS is such a gigantic tool because he's probably quite honestly one of the most knowledgeable Seahawks fans in this forum (at least when it comes to the Hawks). Unfortunately this is lost because he chooses to be a tool. Even though he showed a tiny bit of class towards Packers fans last night, he is still a tool with 99.9% of his posts. I honestly think all the other Hawks fans at FBGs are completely fine. Looking at this objectively, I see more tools coming out of the Patriots fanbase (at least in this forum). However, ITS is so much of a tool that this might not be evident. Just my 2 cents.

Noticed the same thing. Cobb was being covered by Lane on that play. Lane got picked off (I don't think intentionally) by the WR crossing the end zone in the opposite direction. Hence, Cobb was wide open. Sherman was matched up on the WR split wide right.One thing from the game yesterday.

Yeah I used to have a poster very similar to this, can't remember if it was this exact one. Been rocking this avatar forever here.I just noticed your avatar.

It wasn't Lane that was covering Cobb on that play, it was Thomas. Cobb runs the crossing route right across Thomas' face, and as Thomas starts to pursue he gets picked by Richard Rodgers (I think). I guarantee you that is the intentional design of the play, but GB ran it clean and the pick wasn't illegal as Rodgers didn't actually block Thomas as much as get in his way. It was a great design, one that Seattle actually uses quite often.Noticed the same thing. Cobb was being covered by Lane on that play.

Is it still last week?
My apologies. I thought we were having fun in here. Some of us come up for air periodically and miss stuff.
Green Bay had the best offense in the league by many metrics, including points scored. Having accomplished that they managed one TD and 5 field goals against the Seattle defense when handed starting field position of SEA 19, SEA 23, GB 44, SEA 33, GB 44 in the first half alone. In the second half they only scored 6 points against a Seattle D with two compromised players in the secondary.As I said earlier, the Sea D is overrated and they aren't anywhere near as good as the 85 Bears or 00 Ravens. Should be another great SB; NE will move the ball on that D for sure and I'm confident they come out on top.Seahawks defense phenomenal at home. Not quite as good away from home without all the noise. Still excellent, but I don't think they are the 85 Bears or 00 Ravens good.
Simple solution is to bet big on Seattle. That way you'll at least have a moral victory.
Oh, we are having fun. That's why we're flipping each other crap.My apologies. I thought we were having fun in here. Some of us come up for air periodically and miss stuff.

But the Hawks cleaned Peyton's clock, and the Pats can't even handle Eli in the big game.

My bad. I was posting about the Patriots having to go to Lambeau earlier and got my wires crossed. And while I'm getting corrected it was actually 43-21. So regardless, the point still holds.What???

Oh Super Bowls! Those games where Peyton, on those rare occasions he has gotten by the Patriots and their ownership of him in the playoffs, has a losing record and consistently played well-below his regular season levels! D'OH!I'm talking super bowls, boss. Congrats on the regular season wins this season I guess?Patriots beat Denver 42-21 at Denver. Seattle beat them 26-20 at home.
BOO!
At least we got past the Manning who wasn't the one on the receiving end of indian burns growing up!Oh Super Bowls!

I don't know what game you were watching, but the Seattle defense was the only keeping them in the game-against the leagues best offense with the field tilted against them-until Marshawn Lynch could start beasting in the second half.
To further put this into perspective: Russell Wilson (he of the 44.3 passer rating) finished with more passing yards and combined TD's than Aaron Rodgers-the best QB in the game-and he did it playing drunk.
kudos well said!

You're already in excuse making/conjecture mode.

1. Yes, GB with a healthy NFL MVP caliber type year from A. Rodgers did manage to nudge ahead of NE for most points scored, in the last week of the season, when NE throttled down for a meaningless game and GB went full throttle in a must win game.
2. Rodgers wasn't healthy, if he were Sea would have had no chance to win that game (not the way the Sea O played that day).
3. I promise you NE isn't going to settle for FGs from the GL; they will either punch it in or give u the ball back going for the TD.
4. GB played too passively on O in the 2nd half and should have been more aggressive; I don't see NE making that mistake.
5. I watched the same game you did (most of it anyway) and yes Sea's def kept them in the game against one of the best offense's in the league whos QB was unfortunately playing on 1 leg and had a HC and team who took their foot off the pedal and made unforced monumental mistake after another to gift the seahawks the win. 6. When Sea needed to stop Rodgers at the end of the game he went through them like a hot knife through butter.
7. Yes, your QB playing at home had a horrific day playing against another QB who was playing on 1 leg and he was lucky enough that his team recovered an onside kick which enabled them to steal the game.
It's all good, can't wait for this game to get here
