Eerily, this is starting to sound like 2014 after Game 1 when we beat down the Packers in our home opener. Remember the verbiage at the time?
Lock down defense. An offense with too many weapons. That unstoppable Percy Harvin jet sweep. I even remember the next morning on Mike & Mike how both Mikes agreed the Seahawks looked unstoppable. They even went through the schedule and couldn't pick a game that the Seahawks wouldn't win.
There would be no stopping the Seahawks .... Only to be followed by week 2 drubbing in San Diego. A week 5 demoralizing loss at home to the Cowboys followed by a back-to-back loss against the Rams.
Took an unstoppable run at the end of the season to get back on track
Heck, sounds eerily like preseason last year. Alright Marshawn resigned! Chris Matthews was a beast in the SB and it's his coming-out party. And WHAT?! We just got the un-matchup-able Jimmy Graham?
There would be no stopping the Seahawks .... Only to be followed by a first half of the season that would see Russell on-par to be the most sacked quarterback ever, "chemistry issues" in the locker room, rumors of dissension in the offense not getting Jimmy into the game, Kam's holdout, and our supposedly lights out D getting lit up through the seam by tight ends.
Took a run of record proportions at the end of the season to get back on track
So you'd think I'd learn from the last two seasons. But no, I'm blindly feeling the excitement.
Darn irrational sports love. GO HAWKS!
