I think Warren Moon surpassed some of these stats in his short stint as Hawks QB. Imagine if the Hawks would have taken Warren Moon in the draft in 1978. Consider he was NOT DRAFTED by an NFL team coming out of the University of Washington.

Dave Krieg was man, Warren Moon should have been man. Could you imagine a 20+ year career by Moon in a Hawks uni? We would be talking about the best QB that ever walked the face of Gods Green Earth being a Seahawk.

That was a helluva play. Remember it like it was yesterday.

One of my all-time Hawk memories.

I was 41 at the time.

Man I remember that game vividly. I was In the Marines stationed at NAS Whidbey Is. and my brother was also stationed there in the Navy. I was watching the game with him at his barrack's lounge (my two step brothers were also visiting) and I think we did the wave on that last play as we all jumped off the couch!

That was the day that I became hooked on Hawks football as a 10-year-old. I only rooted for the team casually up to then because I was more into basketball, but that finish was pure awesome and I became obsessed with the team (and eventually with all of football) going forward.

This is the moment my fandom began as well, as a 9 year old. Before this play I didn't get why people cared so much about what another team did, and then that play happened and it all made sense.

Similar story here, I musta been 12. Always watched the Seahawks and liked football but that day pretty much solidified me as life-long fan. I remember watching the game and recording it on VIDEO CASSETTE because my dad had to worked. Almost wore the tape out rewinding it and watching it over and over again before he got home.

This is one of my favorite plays too, and one reason Krieg will always be one of my favorite QBs. You could fault his hands, you could complain about streakiness, but that dude came to play.

As an aside, remember the old "in the grasp" rule? I remember Thomas right after the game, complaining that Krieg should have been called 'in the grasp' and given him another sack. What a terrible rule, and I'm so glad they removed it. I think this play (and certainly this KIND of play) is one reason why.

I remember that rule! It was always ridiculous trying to figure out if a play should have been whistled dead after a player merely grabbed a qb's jersey, etc. But what a great play! I remember that game and it provided such hope as a Hawk fan back then. Skansi was spectacular on that play and that was one of Krieg's best moments. That era in Hawkland was one where you always seemed so hopeful after certain games, but the seasons just never developed the way you wished. Great nostalgia by the OP.

I was 43, but that game was one for the history books.
Could you imagine what that team would have looked like with a RB like ML in there to help Krieg? :shock:

Same for me. Was a casual fan from the Seahawks beginning, but the game was switch flipping to being a die-hard fan for me.
