    Woolen

    This is a tough call, and it's damn hard to make without knowing the personalities involved. Woolen has had a checkered career with us. He's had times when he's played like an All Pro, yet he's been benched for sloppy tackling/lack of motivation by two different coaching staffs. The dumb ass...

    Riley Mills sack.

    That was the most impressive play of the game IMO. I had to do a double take, kinda like the line in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for anyone that is old enough to remember that flick: "Who was that guy?"

    The Unknown Seahawk (1976)

    The thing about Patera not allowing water breaks was true, but it was by no means typical even back in those days. I played organized football, jr. high, high school, and one year of college from 1967-1973, and all my coaches at all levels not only gave us water breaks, but they insisted on our...

    Coach of the Year

    Exactly. This isn't like a player MVP where they look at the one season in a vacuum. IF that were the case, then Macdonald would have a much stronger case as his end product was by far the best in the league.

    Debate with wife: "WORLD CHAMPIONS"

    They've had that very same debate in baseball for eons, i.e. the "World Series". But in baseball's case, there are other countries besides the US that play baseball and have for decades, with Japan being the most prominent. They probably should come up with another term, such as universal...

    Coach of the Year

    He's a troll, that's why.

    Coach of the Year

    I agree. That's one of the reasons why I don't get too caught up in this individual stuff. There's so many variables, and it's too opinionated.

    Coach of the Year

    I was commenting that a great coach, deserving of COTY, would have understood that the smart play in that situation would have been to go for 2. And no, I don't think that Darnold should have gotten MVP simply because he beat the Rams twice.

    Coach of the Year

    This might not be the thread for it, but I was astounded when Vrabel did not go for two on the Patriots' first TD. 4th quarter, down 19-6. He goes for the 2-point conversion and gets it, making it an 11 point deficit, meaning that he can tie the game with a FG and TD. If he misses on the 2...

    So…SB LXI is in So-Fi right?

    Like I said earlier, I've been in a lot of NFL stadiums, and as far as seating, crowd management, concessions, etc, So-Fi ranks right up there with the best of them. Lambeau Field, for example, his horrible based on those criteria. Ranking NFL stadiums would be an interesting thread for the...

    Coach of the Year

    Likewise, Macdonald is "hardly the only reason we improved." John Schneider, for example, was named "Executive of the Year" this season. Trading Metcalf and Geno while acquiring players like Sam Darnold, Rashid Shaheed, and moving up in the draft to take Nick E at #35, signing Cooper Kupp...

    Coach of the Year

    Although there's obviously a good case for Macdonald, there's also a very strong case for Vrabel. In one year, Vrabel took a team that was 4-13 and led them to a 14-3 and one win away from the Lombardi. Macdonald, on the other hand, took a team that in the year prior to his arrival was 9-8...

    How international We are Here ?

    Back in 2018, I attended the Seahawks first overseas game in London. On the Friday before the game, my friend and I went to a pre-game Seahawks rally at a bar near London Bridge. We got there early and secured a pub table that sat 4-5 people. With no more seating left, we were approached by...

    Bad Bunny = Prince

    I was the only non-Hispanic at the Super Bowl party that I attended. We had two rooms with TV's, one with the broadcast in Spanish, the other in English. Not being able to speak Spanish, I had no idea what Bad Bunny was saying, but a friend told me that BB's Spanish was pretty sketchy, that he...

    So…SB LXI is in So-Fi right?

    I completely agree. There's literally nothing in the stadium area, no bars or restaurants, very little tailgating, and outside of the stadium itself, not much optics like a city skyline, mountains, or a waterway like a river or bay like there is with a lot of stadiums.

    K9 MVP

    Thanks for the correction.

    So…SB LXI is in So-Fi right?

    I was at So-Fi last season, ie 2024, and took a tour of it. Awesome facility, one of the best I've seen, and I've been in 15 (and counting) NFL stadiums.

    K9 MVP

    Thanks for mentioning that. I seldom watch sports talk shows or interviews anymore, so that sort of thing would have gone unnoticed by me if you hadn't mentioned it. It's nice to hear.

    K9 MVP

    I'm not much into individual awards, especially for football. They're hugely slanted towards the offensive skill positions. Never have I seen a big ugly offensive lineman get awarded an MVP. More so than other sports, football is a team sport where the contributions of a single individual are...

    Kudos For K9

    About midway through the season, I was for not resigning him, but he's had a whale of a season capped off by an MVP performance in the SB. Besides, at this point, you pretty much have to re-sign him if for nothing else because of the PR fallout if we were to let him walk, being that he was...
