Well, we certainly can't expect every single media member on the planet to buy the Kool-Aid. There's always going to be some doubters, perpetual haters, devil's advocates and just all around reprobates among them.
I don't see any indication that we've peaked. Since those last two drives against Chicago we have simply been fulfilling the promise and enacting the vision that was set forth when Russell Wilson was named starter. This is no fluke.
I don't blame any media figure from being caught off guard. NO ONE EXPECTS THE SEAHAWKS DOMINATION! But it is sooooo on!
The scary thing for the rest of the league is I don't think we have peaked yet.
- Browner back for the playoffs
- DB's finally getting healthy
- Baldwin back to form
- Defense clicking like the beginning of the year
- Wilson's continued maturation and command of play calling
I think he is looking at other teams that peaked early and mid-season in the past and is trying to project that logic onto the Seahawks current late season run. They probably peaked too late, since they kicked those Lions and Dolphins games, costing them much higher seedings. I think if the team doesn't win the big one, that will be the reason our fans will give as a significant milestone in this season.
