Have you seen how long Russ hangs on to the ball? That's kind've his thing.

I thought I heard that they didn't have Bridgewater anymore.. They just have Lock and Eason left. Eason is what 6'5" That's 7" taller than Wilson. S/B an improvement.
The first year the Seahawks played. Didn't they draft Tony Dorsett and then trade him to the Cowboys for a bunch of players. My memories a bit fuzzy.

Seattle got Lock in the trade deal.
I'm surprised it took so long for someone to call me out on that comment....
In fairness though, Pete's most creative play calls were basically telling Russ to run around and make something happen.
Playoffs at least for me. Anything past that would be icing. Obviously everyone wants a SB, but we're still looking up at the Chiefs.
Now there's talk about the Hawks going after Watson....ugh.
Word is this Friday is pivotal with his situation with the grand jury hearing testimony.
If he isn’t charged, I’m sure Pete and John would have to run that by Jody Allen before making any type of move towards him.
As mentioned earlier, lots of possible bad PR if they make a move in that direction.

I enjoy watching football but i certainly don’t know all the stuff y’all know for sure. But even sometimes i felt like i knew what the play was going to be and to whom the ball was going to be thrown to before it happened. Our playbook did seem stale compared to say….the Rams.
I’ve only gotten into the Seahawks since Russell started playing. But he wasn’t my favorite player. Back then I had so many favorites i almost couldn’t choose one (though i did love Richard Sherman and Jermaine Kearse).
I’ve watched them religiously since then. And i come from, not a statistics view of the game , but a more emotional connection ….plus i want to be entertained. I didn’t mind losing those close games so much because i was on the edge of my seat and so hopeful and not bored one minute. (It was disappointing the two years we didn’t go to the playoffs though. And that first Sunday without football was always a bit discombobulating.)
I’ve said this before…. like watching a movie or reading a book, i need to be invested in the players/characters. And what seemed to have happened for me these past couple of years, maybe even longer, was that we lost a lot of soul and camaraderie. It seemed to me the post game press conferences could be interchangeable from week to week, especially from Russell. Even Lockett bored me.
I missed Luke Willson and his techno Thursday, and Jermaine Kearse! (remember his Kearse Words ?… And remember when he and Doug Baldwin were at the podium and Doug answered the questions reporters posed to Jermaine and Jermaine answered Doug’s questions? It was hilarious.) And of course Marshawn Lynch. I imagined the locker room must have been the most fun in those days.
But it seemed like the team wasn’t gelling. I imagined the offensive lineman pissed at Russell for hanging on to the ball. Many players might have been pissed that some good guys got traded because they needed to pay Russell.
Recently i learned that Tom Brady took cuts so that they had more money for other players. If that’s accurate that makes me like Tom a little bit better. ( Just a little bit. )
I imagined Russell brought Jesus and the Lord into the locker room more than he should have. Tyler Lockett, and sometimes Jordyn Brook, started talking at the podium that way too. Maybe they gave too much credit to the Lord for helping them win games. If i were a Seahawk and left the locker room with my tired ass body knowing i had likely only a few years left to play as he’s talking about playing ten more years and i were on the offensive line i would be so pissed i might even allow him get sacked once or twice.
And I sometimes i can’t help but wonder if it wasn’t Russell who called that last pass play on the one yard line at the Super Bowl and Pete just didn’t tell him no.
I’m sure it was irritating to many of the players, as it is to me, that positivity of Russell’s rang false many times. I think Evan said it, that we don’t really see the real Russell. I often cringed when i heard Russell talk.
I was mad when he came back way sooner than he should have with his bad finger when Geno Smith was gaining some momentum. Maybe if he sat out just one more game, maybe two, he would have bounced back better.
Then there was the Rolling Stone article when Russell talked about his celibacy before getting married to Ciara. (Ciara…. who exudes sexuality and dresses more provacatively than many NFL wives.) It’s okay to be celibate, but so you have to TALK ABOUT IT? Why do we need to know that?,,,, unless he wants us to hold him in some view of moral higher power. I also wondered how that made Richard Sherman feel since he had not yet married the mother of his kids (did he ever? )
Anyway, i started watching because of Russell Wilson. But I’m glad to see him leave. I’m researching Gardner Minshew and the more i read the more i would love for him to play for Seattle. I need some characters to laugh with. I kind of hope too there is a young QB not even on the radar that might surface. Kind of like when i first saw Russell playing.
Like i said. I don’t know as much about anything NFL. I just know how i feel.
But fuck, in case I’m wrong. Let’s hope Jesus isn’t rooting for Denver.

Hawks were not winning another Super Bowl with RW so I have no problem with this move.

Also, it looks like Dimbright is still pissing on the Hawks. Get a freakin’ life…
We already had that with Tebow. There's still a faction of fans who truly believe Tebow was a legit NFL QB.
I never found Russell's Christianity nearly as in your face as Tebow.....a little much for my taste, but Tebow was an entirely different level.
Seems a little harsh.....

Not sorry. I have seen him post much worse. It’s been like 10 years now that he is the constant anti-Hawk in these threads and its clearly what gets him out of bed in the morning.
This is an all-NFL thread, so it can slide. If it were the 2022 Seahawks thread, which hasn't been started yet, then I'd find it in much worse taste.

Damn....Hawks have been beating up on teams for a while and now that their fans know they're going to go back into obscurity for the unforeseeable future, they can't handle the criticism.
Tell you what, talk to me about the 43-8. I can take it (still). Maybe that'll make you feel better.
