I'll Admit It: We Are A Very Lucky Team

[Uncle Si]

Why is there such a negative stigma with the word "luck." Some fans on here act like it is a slap in the face. Nothing wrong with being lucky. If anything, it's a good thing.

Because, again, there is no such thing as "luck"

You either do, or you don't.

 

[Smellyman]

is it 'luck' or some 'god'? I am getting confused. Does a god hate us sometimes and like us other times.

does god hate Cleveland?

Probably took exception to the misrepresentation of Seattle as some blessed team that gets breaks all the time, when nothing could be further from the truth.

This.

You didn't need to admit anything. Things happen. The end.

Yes.

The Hawks got lucky today, no question about it. I really cant understand how anyone who watched the game can say otherwise. Agreed, there's no reason to apologize for it, but it is what it is. The Hawks were outplayed and normally would have lost this game. The "luck bucket" has to be just about empty after this one.

The offense was atrocious. RW had a horrible game, over throws, throws off the mark, this just killed the passing game and any continuity on offense. Might just have something to do with the record cold...might have to go back and rub some posters face in a couple of posts in a different thread...

The offense was so bad today the Hawks should have lost this game.

Were the Vikings Lucky that Ryan thought he could run for the first down, and thus handing them three points?

Were the Vikings Lucky that it was -6 degrees, and hence evened the playing field by slowing down our passing game?

Were the Hawks lucky the kicker missed, with Zero impetus from a Hawks player, a field that gets made 99% of the time? O yea, that field goal attempt was with like 30 seconds left in the game, the game that the Hawks O crapped the bed and could nothing.

Answer that captain Hawk fan.

Nothing wrong with calling it LUCK. Yes, the Hawks D balled out, yes, the offense made a couple of plays. Yes THEIR offense made plays also.

When a gimme field goal kick is missed at the end of a game in the playoffs, that's called LUCK. If that kick is blocked, it's not called LUCK.

Luck isn't a tangible thing. Get over it.

Why do people feel the need to point out we could have lost or that it needs to be admitted?

We saw the game

Because it's what people say to each other when one person thinks the other didn't deserve it.

I beat you in 21.

" you got lucky ".

Is that new to social conversations?

 

[nIdahoSeahawk]

I thought the colts had Luck?

 

[JPatera76]

its not luck.. actually blair walsh made this in 2013
saying "Our new punter LOVES holding." Funny thing happened today, even 2 years later, he still didn't learn after practicing. And it cost them.

We survived, but we Won

Cam throwing an uncontested, wide open game winner in the dirt in 2012 and DeAngelo Williams (2nd fewest fumbles ever for a RB with 1,000 carries) fumbling inside the 10 WAS luck. But I also think the Hawks were a better team than the Panthers those years.

Of course. It couldn't be anything else

Weird time for a Panther fan to pop up on a Seahawks board talking about when his team lost to the Hawks

Because that kick is made 99.?? percent of the time. As I mentioned, the Hawks did Zilch to impact the outcome of that play. What do you call it if it isn't luck?

How in the world can you not call that dumb luck. The Hawks had nothing to do with the outcome that is statistically made 99+% of the time. Go visit that thread that got bumped to the smack shack junior. You have crow to eat.

 

[NINEster]

Shit xl and 49.... We sure we're lucky in those games.

Jermaine Kearse had a grab that was even luckier than David Tyree. If that falls incomplete, does anybody ever get to know who Malcolm Butler is?

Had the Hawks won that game, it would have been about as fluky as everything else they've won.

 

[irocdave]

Its also unlikely that a punter will randomly decide to run with a poor snap instead of kicking it, leading to 3 free points.

"Luck" as you call it, goes both ways.

You should go visit that thread in the shack also.

 

[MD5eahawks]

Romo fumbling the hold in 2007....

Fail Mary in RW's rookie year vs GB.....

NFCCG last year against GB where we came from way behind.....

Illegal batting vs Detroit.....

And now Blair Walsh this year.....

If you guys don't know, NFL fans call us the luckiest sports team ever. Ask any 49er fan and they will cry for an hour about how we are the luckiest team ever. I will side with them. Nothing wrong with being lucky though

I think the following people may say just the opposite;
Bill Leavy
Vinny Testaverde
Malcolm Butler
Al Harris
Ken Bearing
Brian Bosworth

Hawks have made plenty of their own luck ninerstar, take that "everything they do is lucky" BS back to the toilet zone with the other morons posting on the "seahawks 2 SB behind the Raiders" thread. Your hero El Guapo is getting it handed to him by your own "real" fans on that cesspool, you would fit right in with the same posters that said one and done. Last year. And the year before. Zero credibility.

This is and the game the Hawks took by luck. Cant say that about the others.

98% of the time. Which means they are missed. Statistics. Not luck.

Grow up "junior"

Luck is for kids.

Crow to eat? Because the Seahawks won? Jesus how miserable

Of course, cause that pass was on 4th down right? No chance Seattle still gets into scoring range or anything right... :sarcasm_off:

Luck? That was a great play by ear Thomas to knock that ball out... Gtfoh
