While I’m still feeling like I got punched in the gut yesterday, I’m forcing myself to be a glass half full guy today and look at the positives (and there are several). Here are a few off the top of my head …
Doug Baldwin went over 1,000 yards receiving yesterday (first time that’s happened in awhile) and set the Seahawks all time season record for most receiving TD’s (14).
Russell Wilson is also within striking distance of several records. Here are the notable Seahawks single season records Russell Wilson can break this next Sunday …
Matt Hasselbeck’s 3,966 yards passing set back in 2007 is the franchise record.
Dave Krieg’s 32 Touchdown Passes set back in 1984 is the franchise record.
Dave Krieg’s Completion Percentage of 65.61% set back in 1991 is the franchise record.
Wilson needs 140 more passing yards to break Hasselbeck’s record … 173 yards for 4,000 yards.
He needs 1 more TD pass to tie Krieg’s record … 2 more TD passes to break it.
Even after yesterday’s debacle, he still has a 68.1% pass completion percentage. Unless something absolutely disastrous happens, he will break Krieg’s 1991 record.
This team is STILL in the playoffs. Yesterday’s loss didn’t change that whatsoever.
Even if the Seahawks were to somehow drop to the #6 Seed, that could end up working to their advantage. This team plays best when they’re doubted …when they’re feeling disrespected. I think it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that that kind of whooping may have been exactly what the Seahawks needed.
Whether they land the 5th Seed and play in the Redskins on that God forsaken field (might not be the worst thing in the world to avoid that place) … or end up as the 6th Seed and have to face either the Packers or the Vikings – either way, there are positives to each of those scenarios ...
The Seahawks have beaten the Vikings and shown that they can shut Adrian Peterson and the Vikings Offense down.
They nearly beat Green Bay the first time around (and should have) … and they’re not playing worth a darn right now. Frozen tundra or no frozen tundra, they look really beatable.
And despite their outburst last night, the Redskins are a pretty beatable team.
So while I'm far from happy about yesterday's crap-tastic performance, the road ahead still could be quite "Super" for this team. Rose colored glasses anyone?
