On the flipside I loved the 2011 Gaints game, BB sealed the deal with a pick six

Some other personal favorites are 2011 against NYG (I was there. BB's pick 6 was coming right at me) ...
Piling on, a couple of the same best games as others mentioned.
The 2011 10am ROAD GAME at the Giants was like one part of the Seahawks' smash-mouth coming out party. This is where the team announced these were "not your father's Seahawks", not SOS. Seattle up by less than a TD, with Eli and NYG were driving for the inevitable game-winning late score, just like the NFL script called for, just like the NY media ordered. Then Eli throws behind Victor Cruz, the ball gets popped up (by Earl?) about the 5 yard line, and Browner collects it and goes 95 yards the other way for a game-sealing pick-6. Definitely not what the NY media ordered. WTF? Who are these guys from Seattle?
That same season, we beat the Ravens, in the CLink, in a total smash-mouth, physical game, where we actually out-physicalled the Ravens. Coming out party some more.
The interesting thing about both those wins is that the NYG and Ravens both won/had won a Super Bowl within one season either side of those games. So, even though we were 7-9, with TJack at QB, we were playing some tough football against some very good teams.
The worst defeats had to be the game at Oakland where we got physically destroyed and made Darren McFadden look like the second coming of Jim Brown, Eric Dickerson, and Barry Sanders, all rolled into one. We just got our asses physically kicked all over the field by Tom Cable's Raiders. It was hard to see how this team could ever win an NFL game after that beatdown.
Honorable mention goes to that pathetic 3-6 Cleveland Indians, er Browns, game, where our Mariners, er Seahawks, got beaten by a 3 run dinger.
