We Were All Wrong

[LeaveLynchAlone]

No I don't. I admitted multiple times I was wrong and I couldn't be happier about it. I said its been a blast to watch them surprise and yet you still posted shit like "his game"

I mean who cares? No one is better or smarter for guessing this one right. We're all throwing darts on this stuff and what looks to be a historical draft class haul and a shockingly improved Geno is allowing us to play much better. Do they keep it up? Who knows? it's a long NFL season. What if they fall off a cliff the second half, is everyone in here going to say what a minute maybe Fade was right? I seriously doubt it.

I don't think we need 7 pages trying to get Fade to admit he was wrong and be that emotionally involved in this issue but I'm in here posting two and apparently a part of the problem.

You don't think.... And that's great. Apparently, many others here do think.... Hence the many pages.

But guess what - and this is really simple. Don't click, don't read, and don't post. You will be free from this in your estimation inane thread.

And of course if you want to proclaim your confusion about what this is about, I think that's great - but every post is an invitation for a response. So if you receive responses that you don't like, the best solution would be to stop posting things that people respond to you in your estimation unpleasantly.

Fade makes choices to post and therefore Fade is inviting responses. It's interesting and your right to have support for Fade though I am not sure if Fade is looking for you as a defender.

I also support Fade's right to post and clearly many others do too by the numbers of responses that the posts receive.

Just say no to posts that you don't understand.

i was gonna tell you guys to chill out because you both agree we are exceeding the world's expectations and both agree that this season has a been fun ride thus far...

but then i realize that this thread was doomed to be argumentative from the start, based on the OP's motives, lack of honest reproach, and callous gaslighting.

I'll chill out. None of this shit is worth fighting over. I'll say it again though I couldn't be happier to have gotten this situation wrong. I had almost zero faith in Geno. It was cool seeing him fired up this weekend and proving people wrong. The dude has worked his ass off for 10 years and has earned it

I got a Google alert over the term 'Gee Scott'. Everything okay here?

Naw man, we out here competing

 

[HawkStrong]

You just went though and put laughing emojis on 14 of my posts.....someone is a little obsessed.

LMAO

Yeaaaa I really just wanted an excuse to use that gif from yesterday's game

At this point I think Fade might actually be Colin Cowherd.

Has anyone ever seen Fade and Cowherd in the same room? No-one?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

The same Cowturd who said the Hawks would beat the Chargers because of Penny?

 

[Fade]

100%

Fade needs to take a break from posting.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Huge win yesterday. This YOUNG team is gonna' get another W on Sunday. Should be a hell of a game for this YOUNG team. WE will probably see it go down to the wire. But, Pete will likely have nothing to do with the win.

 

[Fade]

100%. Pete is his fall guy. They won despite him. If they lose it is all on Pete. Tiring for sure.

If Pete cannot make the NFCCG in a down NFC with a top 5 QB, and the #1 scoring offense in the NFC when will he?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Right, because if this team doesn't make the NFC Championship, the season is a failure and Pete sucks. Got it.........
He is working with a very YOUNG TEAM and they are getting it done.

 

[Sun Tzu]

Ok lets try this again. I said I was skeptical this team was going to be good. They have been shockingly better than I and most people expected. What else do you need to hear.

Try posting the above without the green. It is common for us to attempt to soften an admission of being wrong by either grouping others into the wrong stance or by making excuses for being wrong, see Fade's post of "we were all wrong" for a superb example of this. Personally, I respect someone admitting to being wrong much more when the admission comes without attempts to defuse or excuse.

 

[Fade]

I'm not asking for a cookie. I'm just pointing out that we were wrong, but you were Hindenburg Going Up In Flames "OH, THE HUMANITY" wrong, and you were as arrogant as can be about it, which is why you're getting dunked into the turf.

You were wrong, too. We both placed bets. I was off by 7 or so, you were off by 5 or so. We both lost. Now you're trying to stretch this difference to hyperbolic magnitude. You were wrong. It's okay, it happens.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Lost what? A prize?

Oh, yeah. I'm totally referencing that single thing, champ.

Perhaps more ruminating is in order?

I'm still waiting for that whole "getting dunked on all season" thing, personally.

Seems like you may have stolen my fate.

With the signing of Bruce Irvin, the Seahawks are now the 7th oldest team in the league.

The Eagles and Giants are young teams. Coming in at 29th & 30th oldest. Hasn't stopped them from winning. The youth excuse is just that, an excuse.

The Seahawks will also get younger next year, adding another draft class and moving on from some of these stopgap veterans. So should we have lower expectations for them next year? Because they will be younger in 2023.
