I wish I was a believer in moral victories but I don't. History is written by the victors. One stupid decision, a little luck, and we'll have to endure years of Patriot fan gloating. This is particularly bitter for me because I lived in Cleveland and was a huge Browns fan as a kid when they lost to Denver in the '88 AFC Championship Game because of "the fumble." They were the better team and Denver proved it by going to the Superbowl and getting their asses kicked by Washington. At least with the "fumble" it was a reasonable football play that just went wrong. Yesterday was a dumb football play that cost Seattle the Superbowl. Ouch.
I can think of a lot of coulda shoulda's. I wish the Seahawks secondary wasn't in its weakest condition since early season. I wish the Seahawks secondary wasn't further weakened when they lost last year's Superbowl MVP in the first quarter to injury. I wish our starting defensive end didn't get injured in the 3rd quarter...followed by two touchdown drives by the Patriots. I wish our coach called for a run instead of a pass. Any one of those would have probably made the difference in the game.
It's definitely hard to swallow. The Seahawks held the Patriots to 57 yards rushing. The Seahawks rushed for 162 yards. They intercepted Brady twice. As I predicted yesterday, the Seahawks were the tougher team. On any normal day the Seahawks win with those numbers.
But they weren't the smarter team...at least in the last meaningful play of the game.
Sorry, I can't bring myself to really congratulate the Patriots. I admire the hell out of Brady for leading the Patriots comeback in the 4th quarter against Seattle's depleted defense. I admire what's his name who made the interception to win the game...nice defensive play on an historically stupid offensive play. I admire the Patriots secondary shutting down Seattle's middling receivers for about half the game. I admire Belichick for being an ornery *******. But overall I say, lucky win but still counts.
See you next year and hope the results are what they should have been yesterday--the best team winning the game.
PS. It'll be fun to see how the Patriots fare in a year or two when Brady is done. ;-)
So Russell Wilson is overrated, because he lost a SB ? For most of the game he was magnificent and showcased his abillity to throw with touch, velocity, and accuracy. He's one of the best in the game, and he and the Seahawks will be back in the mix next seaaon to "write the wrong".Hawks in trouble when the give the overrated one his contract

If there's two things Jet fans know it's English and QBs. Am I write?So Russell Wilson is overrated, because he lost a SB ?

Why are you just looking at stats... He was MAKING plays (after the first) and throwing with excellent touch throughout the game and delivered the best thrown ball of the game that was unfortunately dropped by Jermaine Kearse.. Russell is worth every penny that he is going to receive this season and he is going to become one of the three best Quarterbacks in the NFL in two seasons.Wilson completed 12 passes last night...of course, braindead Rat fan thinks THAT is HOF material...it just never stops with these green lobotomy cases.
I'm happy to believe that this post isn't representative of Seahawks fans.
Trolls the internet-wide love taking one "bad" Boston/New England fan and saying "perfect example of how terrible all their fans are, they don't deserve BB and Brady," etc. so I choose to believe this guy just has a hyperinflated sense of just how magnanimous he is for "coming back" here, laden with excuses for his so called "better team." The dozens of posts jumping down this guy's throat (including my own) are simply responding to how easily he teed it up for us.
If a real S-hawk fan came here and said "I'm devastated. Good game. Congrats. Hopefully we get revenge next year." I think a vast majority of the fans here would have said "Good game, totally understand how you feel, since we've been there too."
And they did. Ugh.

A Jester fan giving advice on anything "good" in the NFL is funny. Thanks for the laugh.So Russell Wilson is overrated, because he lost a SB ?

He's one of the best in the game, and he and the Seahawks will be back in the mix next seaaon to "write the wrong".
Russell Wilson is the ONLY reason why the Seahawks were not blown out, he's NOT overrated and if you watched Seattle all year, you'd REALIZE that. He was brilliant for most of the game and yes he made a mistake, but so does every great QB. And Sheldon Richardson is an absolute animal, a three technique with the ability to convert speed to power when he plays the edge and a monster that cannot be blocked and he's a man that has top notch work ethic and a great motor. Is it Russell Wilson's fault that his defense gave up a ten point lead? Is it his fault that Kearse dropped a catchable ball?jeezus krist STFU you goddamned mongoloid....Willson last 4 possessions of the game...punt,punt, punt, INT. You are a complete duncekie. What kind of rotted brain moron thinks trading a shutdown #1 corner for a freaking D lineman is an over the top move?? 4-12 you ignorant mouthbreather...krist you're a stupd West Virginny hick inbred.
One guy says he's overrated and you're freaking out. He was the 2nd best QB on the field last night, that's all I know.Russell Wilson is the ONLY reason why the Seahawks were not blown out, he's NOT overrated and if you watched Seattle all yeat, you'd REALIZE that.
