If I recall correctly the Seattle Seahawks came into being in the year 1976!
If in some roundabout, underhanded, anger motivated way you are trying to denigrate the Seattle Seahawks then you are doing a pisspoor job of it!
THE Seattle Seahawks are nothing less than the SECOND BEST team in all of the NFL this year!
Nothing, a pipsqueak like yourself (and a few others around here!) can utter will change that!
I will say this though, the game today (the WAR!) between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49'ers was a lot CLOSER than the final score!
Seattle won that game over an EXCELLENT 49'ers team by the skin of their bloodied teeth!
And I would like to expound on that last a bit - I think the San Francisco 49'ers could have handily won that game today had things changed just a tad here and there!
And, I think the 49'ers, on any given Sunday, could best this years Denver Broncos if they played their up to par!
I am just thankful the Seahawks came from behind (twice?) and came out on top in the end.
The pictures our son sent us from THE press box at Century Link Field during the game were just awesome!
He said it was an amazing and electrifying game.
I am so happy for him to have been in the right place at the right time to get to see this game in person (and for free!).
I see the Seattle Seahawks are 1 (one!) point under-dogs to the great Denver Broncos team for the coming Super-Bowl!
I guess we'll see about that?
GO HAWKS!

First of all I don't care if the Seahawks win or lose. If they win fine. If they lose that is fine also. Your stating I am trying to denigrate the Seattle Seahawks is a joke because I don't care about them or whether they win or lose. The fact they will be in the super bowl means little to me other than I have to listen to folks around here tell of their great accomplishments. laugh

What I do have a problem with is when some fan of theirs continually crows that they are a dynasty in the making when they finally win their SECOND NFC Championship. This is pure BS and if you have any brains you know that as well as I do. There have been precious few teams in the NFL that could be known as somewhat dynasties in their times and the Seahawks ain't about to become one. I grew up in a time when a team I rooted for was as close to being a dynasty in its time as any. Five NFL Championships in seven years is nothing to sneeze at and even with a record like that the team couldn't keep continually winning. It's even harder to accomplish anything close to that in the league today for the very reasons I stated, namely salary cap and free agency.

By your statement Seattle has been in the NFL for over 35 years. In that time they have a 0 and 1 record as far as NFL Championships are concerned. If they win the super bowl they will have a .500 wining percentage. Nothing more, nothing less. If they lose they will still have a .000 winning percentage something nine other teams than them have presently. Before their fans start bragging about being a dynasty I suggest they look at what some other teams have accomplished in the same length of time.

I might add I don't fault any fan for being happy that their team does well. I'm glad your son had a pleasant experience at the game because I know the feeling. But I might add one person can spoil the excitement for a lot of people by making stupid remarks and I know I am not alone in feeling this has been the case here.

Lastly, you have a right to think I am a sore loser but nothing could be funnier. I stated up front I didn't care who won this game and why. I made no comments about the game itself or the refs. If that makes me a sore loser in your eyes then so be it.The best 4 reasons I can show you I don't care about this game or the coming Super Bowl is shown below. wink

Enjoy the Super Bowl. I don't care who wins and won't be cheering for either team. laugh
