LOL what a freaking joke. In their contender or pretender segment, they unanimously listed us as pretenders. UHH If the 49ers had the number 1 def it would be an absolute love fest for them . Why do I bother watching ESPN or NFL network?

Haters gonna hate. It's sad really. Just pandering to the big market fan bases for ratings. Journalistic integrity be damned...

Why did they say we are pretenders? Shutting down Dallas and Green Bay, along with stuffing Cam Newton's goal-line running game not enough for them?

It is almost amusing how Seattle in the offseason was the darling of some media outlets with their "up and coming Defense", but ever since the Green Bay game that admiration has turned to hatred for some reason. And the defense didn't even have anything to do with that last play!

_________________

It was the old contender/pretender game.

They all said the same thing (except Faulk) - good defense, weak offense.

_________________

So they said the Seahawks as a whole are pretenders, but the defense is good? I thought they said the Seahawks D was a pretender...

I think this thread title might have been misleading...

_________________

You can defeinitely tell Faulk and Warner dislike us.

Can't wait for Matt Hasselbeck to get his inevitable NFL Network job, so that we have an insider on the set.

did they call the team pretenders or just specifically call out the defense as pretenders?

_________________

"God Bless Russell Wilson"

Faulk has always hated the Seattle Seahawks. Probably goes back to the days when Chike Okefor was twisting his pussy-ass
ankles when they were in a pile.

Faulk is about as "ignernt" as they get. He looks like a human turd.

Doesn't really surprise me, anyone outside the NW seems to think little of us.

_________________

There right though. Our offense has to step up if we want to contend.

_________________

Until they fix the offense, that pretender label could stick.

February 2, 2014... the day the dream was finally realized

They need to play that segement for the players right before the game.

_________________

"God Bless Russell Wilson"

They did not call out the defense as pretenders.

It was a pregame segment, and the hosts each had a sign that either said contender or pretender. They did unanimously pick pretender for the Hawks, but they said it was because of either Russell being a rookie starting at qb, Or or offense in general. They said we have a good D. No one said anything specifically bad about the D.

_________________

They called our team as a whole pretenders mostly because of RW.

I hope Bruce Irvin sacks Brady 4 times and pick sixes one of those stupid bubble screens meant for Welker. Getem Bruce. Im tired of National pundits with annoying voices that have no clue about anything. Also, the only prime worth ever mentioning in any context is Optimus.

I know its a joke, both of em, I wish we could go back to the old format before those hacks came around, I am trying to tune into a Tennessee sports radio station so I can mute those clowns..

ha, I think I found a way?

if you have DVR record then pause and wait for this radio station to catch up, somehow they have like a 20 second delay, prolly an NFL rule so folks wont say buh bye to the ninnies...

just gotta sync it up and those goons are on MUTE

Why, for the love of god, is validation from the national media so important to so many of you?

the Titans can NOT tackle! I remember when the Hawks had tackleitis, unbearable to watch, almost every play

I can't argue with that, but I was referring to the whining about media approval.

disgusting..we're trying to talk football here pal!!

Thread title should be changed. I came in here heated! Only to find out they're talking about the entire team, specifically the offense. Until we consistently move the ball and can finally find the end zone, I must agree.

I would give us an incomplete. Although the offense has played poorly on 3rd down and red zone, it has shown signs it can control and move the ball. I think it will keep improving every week.

Yet Keyshawn and the guys on Audibals say we are for real on D. Hummm

Whom ever says that Seattle's defense isn't legit hasn't done his research and is running their mouth aimlessly.

Yeah they even forced a fumble on first down which we almost got!

Exactly. This is great motivational material. I wanna see our pretenders put the freakin' HURT on the other NFL poster children this Sunday!

While Brady sits and pouts , waiting for a roughing the passer flag to be thrown.

Well it will just be the same ol story... Brady and the Patties beat themselves. Blah Blah Blah

Title is misleading. Besides that I wonder why I care what everyone else thinks about the hawks. Its not like I care whay anyone thinks of me. Speakimg of people that see me and don't know me. I m mixed. So no one knows what race I am. My hair is long, to the middle of my back. I'm average size 6'1 210 lbs, and 80% of my body is tattooed. I don't care what ANYONE thinks of me. But for some reason I care what these fools say about the hawks. My donkey fan homies tell me to let it pass, and don't understand why I trip sometimes. I'm a true fan, I have a lot invested emotionally In the hawks. I'm out of town, so I'm the only hawk fan here in Denver, that I know. I've met a few at bar etc, but that's it. I don't like when I see neg stuff in press, cuz I never hear the end. The mnf green bay CATCH was brutal.
GO HAWKS!

People wonder how can u support a team that's never won anything? Its easy, the SEAHAWKS represent how I aproach life, they are the underdogs who have to earn everything. Nothing is given, many will hate. Its easy to root for a team that's been winning forever. What about the guys who have to overcome all the odds, all the people that said they were pretenders? There's nothing more American than being a Seahawk fan.
