First off, a HUGE thank you to Neal, the man who has been running the backend for years....I won't go into detail because truthfully I don't know the details of why this site was down for nearly 4 days but all that matters is it is back up again just in time for the Debbie Downers to praise their predictions of a Seahawks loss....
Kidding aside, Thank you Neal and for anyone else involved to get the site back up and operational.
For the record, I TOTALLY wasn't checking the site every half hour or less on average. Nope. Not me.
Enough of the outage. How about that game? I was honestly thrilled. Not that we lost of course, but this team clearly is showing improvement each week. To go toe-to-toe on offense with the most prolific offense in the NFL? Awesome.
To run for nearly 200 yards in the game? Carson and Davis are LETHAL one-two punches. My guess is Penny is still trying to recover from that finger surgery otherwise they would give him more time. Just my thought.
The glass half empty crowd will no doubt mention all the deficiencies. Our defense was sliced open and often all game long. Well guess what? ANY defense is exposed when they are up against a juggernaut like the Rams offense.
What I loved the most? David punched Goliath in the mouth. Several times. They almost, almost...Fell down.
Make no mistake. There were several LOB'ish moments. The Rams lost both their top WR's to concussion protocol. You could plainly see the Seahawks - win or lose - wanted the Rams to get on that plane feeling every bruise and hit.
In the end, I was proud of my Seahawks. Sure, they lost in the end, but it was far from an ass whoppin. We gave the Rams everything they could handle. Deep down, they know the Seahawks are still a formidable opponent worthy of respect.
Hold your heads up high 12's. This team is young, full of talent and we are 2 years or less of being back on top of the NFC mountain.
BELIEVE IT!
