Best Seahawks quote

[Wsumatt1982]

I was thinking of famous Seahawk quotes this morning. I wanted to make more of a playoff bracket for the best all time seahawks quote but I went with a poll instead. I don't recall seeing anything like this, at least not recently. What's everyone's favorite quote by a seahawks member all-time.

I still love the Matt Hasselbeck "We want the ball and we're gonna score" quote. All at once I laughed uncontrollably and said WTF are you doing, now we're gonna lose. But I loved the confidence in the moment even if I knew it was the kiss of death by saying that.

I don't have any pre-2000 quotes since over the years I may have survived but many braincells made sacrifices.

For me it's We Did Not Care. Especially after that stupid comment about the Hawks being an afterthought, whatever. Maybe to the MEDIA, but certainly not to anyone who actually understands football. The Hawks were the best team in the NFL. Period.

And the way coach looked pissed when he said "We're going to the super bowl"
I translate that to: Eff the Rams, Eff the Niners, Suck on that!

Nice subject for the offseason, and the quotes rival Yogi-isms as a source of entertainment.

 

[TwilightError]

The Marshawn ones are king.

knoxism's.. no one did it better.

Ooops. sorry, wasn't on the list.

I voted other.

If Hasselbeck hadn’t thrown a pick six, his”we want the ball and we’re gonna score” could have been one of the best quotes ever in the NFL!!

"Yeah" - Marshawn Lynch

 

[AROS]

For me it’s We. did. Not. Care. Because Mike is so wonderfully socially awkward (I do not mean that disrespectfully), he had no idea the impact that statement would make when he said it.

Also, because it came after a championship victory, it just seals it for me.

There’s other great ones too that you listed.

I still say had Bannister ran the right route it would have never been a pick 6. He was supposed to stop earlier in his route. Easy pick I could have made.

I love them all, but MM rules in this one.

And, as an aside, the two of my favorite 'mic'ed up' type moments EVER being a seahawks fan:

MM's wife after winning the superbowl: "So, how was your day?"

ADB - in Minnesota to RW - the "Lead us" speech.

 

[JustTheTip]

Had to flip a coin between so I don’t get fined and we did not care. Lynch won.

"I knew it was going to be tough going up against the Pittsburgh Steelers. I didn't know we were going to have to play the guys in the striped shirts, as well." -Mike Holmgren after Super Bowl XL.

Or

“Y’all seein this” - Ken Hamlin during Super Bowl XL on the sidelines.

I agree.

A close second would be Marshawn saying he was just there so he won't get fined.

[Mike MacDarnold]

"I’m the best corner in the game, when you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that’s the results you gonna get."

Sherman tried to be a good sportsman but Crantree shoved him in the helmet. So the rant was warranted.

Michael Bennett:
"My friend Von [Miller] got fined because he did three pumps, and I don't know, but three pumps is illegal. I only usually do two pumps, but Pete [Carroll] made sure that I know that Von got fined for doing three pumps, so I'm just trying to keep it at one and a half pumps."

Michael Bennett:

"It's all about that action boss" translation-> 'Talkin' ain't doin', and to me, this isn't just about football.
Charley Pride wore a chain around his neck that GID -> stood for 'Get it Done'

This. The ‘fined’ thing is definitely more popular but, ‘I’m about that action boss’….classic Marshawn. Still hear people saying it today…

 

[HawkRiderFan]

Picked a different Marshawn one so clicked other. The one from his last ever press conference giving advice to younger players. I have to pick this cause I bought a t-shirt from his story at Mandalay Bay with this one it

"Take care of yo mentals, take care of yo chicken"
