So my first blog has nothing too do with anything nerd related. Well unless you consider being a sports fan so and i know alot don't feel that way but that is okay...this one comes from the heart....I my whole life have been a huge Seattle Seahawks Fan....and unlike a number of fans that have jumped on the "Bandwagon" over the last couple years...i have been a fan since 1986....First Game Was Seattle Vs Philadelphia and i was hooked ever since....and have sit thru countless...and i mean countless losing seasons....the 2 win season in 1992....the 3 straight 8 win seasons of the mid 90's
Finally in 1999 we where able too get Mike Holmgren From Green Bay and we started too win....There was the Debacle of Super Bowl XL which i will not get into at this point and time...only bc we don't have the rest of our lives lol
Then finally 2013 it all came together....we steamrolled everyone and i mean everyone...i saw things as a football fan i honestly never thought i would see....the national media getting behind us instead of ignoring us like what they had done for 38 years...we ran thru the playoffs....Beating the 49ers is one of the greatest games i have ever seen....then came the Super Bowl where everyone and i mean just about everyone had already decided that this was going too be Peyton Manning's Glorious Night...even thought anyone who knows anything about sports especially football will tell you that Defense wins championships....
So i sat there on my couch Feb 2 2014 and watched 3 amazing and wonderful hours where that team from Seattle the one that no one thought could win not only beat Denver we Freaking Massacared them...the game was over 12 seconds into it....they never had a chance....it is too this day one the best nights of my life....and as strange as that may sound try too look at it from my perspective....been a sport fan all my life and we finally reached the mountain top
Then Comes last year....where we went from being the hunter too the hunted....and last year was the hardest football season i have ever been thru as a fan....at some point the National Media decided that it was easier too hate us then too cheer us....that is most likely bc of how brash and loud we talk....its not bragging kids if you can back it up...
Midway thru the Season and after the Percy Harvin Fiasco we where 6-4 and in danger of missing the playoffs....and then something just clicked....we where the team we where suppose too be again....we ran thru the rest of the regular season...we killed Carolina...we had the miracle comeback again the Packers....it seemed like destiny....no team had won back too back Championships in NFL in 10 years
Then Came the Game and we didn't play our football for the first half but where right there and then Brady started too Work our Injured Secondary and they took the lead and then with 2 min left we work the ball down field....a Circus Catch By Kearse We where right there....2 yard line with the best running back in football....and what happened after that...Devastated me....not that we lost bc that i can deal with...the fact that we where right there....we just needed too reach up and take it...and it was ripped away from us is something i never will be over....we could win 4 or 5 more Super Bowls in my life time and still there will be that one that we should have had
all i could do in the aftermath was sit there on my couch...where just a year before i cried from happiness i did the same bc i was just heartbroken...i screamed i yelled i cheered i had nothing left too give as a fan of my team....the end result of this turned me away from something i have loved since i was 6 years old....i blocked espn and the NFL Network off my tv bc i just couldn't deal with seeing the replay over and over and over again
The following months i have had a dream like 3 or 4 times where we are in the same situation and we win and then i wake up and reality hits me and i am sad all over again....this may seem strange too some of you but that's okay..i take pride in my football team..and we are young we will get back too that mountain top....i just lament for what could have been
Anyway that was my first blog kids i hope you like it let me know what you think :D
I'm not a Seahawks fan, but the play they ran on that pick had been working for them all season. Whereas Lynch had 1 TD in 5 attempts from the 1. 20%. The pass didn't work out so everyone is pissed at Pete for "making the wrong call". If you look at the numbers, Lynch had an 80% chance of not scoring anyway. Bottom line, if you as a team, put yourselves in a position to lose a game based on one interception, you weren't the dominant team you thought you were. I don't talk a lot of trash when it comes to football (unless it's about our division, or the patriots) but I can't help it here. I heard so much shit from seahawks fans after they beat Denver, about how arrogant we are, about how we needed to be put in our place, and never said a word until now. EVERY FOOTBALL FAN LOVES THEIR TEAM. When things are good, when we're having a good season, we are ALL confident. It's not arrogance, it's competition, and support for our team. I read so many of the things you said about broncos fans as a whole last year, and it was insulting. Especially when you feel exactly the same way about your team as i do mine. Every football fan knows exactly how you feel (except for Cleveland, Jacksonville, Detroit, and Houston fans).

ReplyDeleteWell the last thing i would ever do is insult you Frank as a football fan...you know your stuff so if you took anything i said personally i apologize...it was more a shot at some other bronco fans that i am friends with on FB that didn't even think we should be there in the Super Bowl at all....as for the game....we had a timeout too burn that is the reason we threw the ball...idc you run the ball with you Beast you heart of the team i promise you if they do that.....they score we win....i mean there where mistakes made all around....Russell should have gone too Marshawn in the flat we score....he targeted a 3rd string WR and it was a mistake....but its over and done and nothing can fix it
ReplyDeleteHockey. Hockey. Hockey. Hockey. And for my last point? Hockey. That is all. Love ya Boss! xoxoxo
