Do We Officially Ride the Cheater Label in 2013?

I know that last season, a minority of NFL fans held the Green Bay game against us as if we cheated or something. Then after the whole Adderall issue with Sherman and Browner, we started to hear "cheaters" being mentioned more and more. Now that yet another Seahawk, our 2012 1st round pick no less, has been busted for potentially the same thing, what do you think the chances are that we're going to be stuck with being called cheaters throughout 2013 no matter what the team accomplishes?

If we win games, and hopefully a Super Bowl, I just don't care what we're called or what other's think of us at all.

As we're discussing in the Shack, guys cheat on every team and on every play. I'll get sick of trying to defend us to people I'm sure, but if we win I won't really care.

My prediction is that Seattle's own fans will obsess over this issue for a lot longer than any other fanbases will. Can't believe people are even thinking along these lines.

I'm not really obsessing over it, I just figured it would be a good conversation starter. I'm bored today

That stupid, people can talk whatever trash they want but that bad reflection on our team as only been defensive players and most likely they aren't taking Adderall to enchance their on field performance but probably to help them focus mentally and cheat the learning curve on our complex defensive system. Remember, there was an article on Irvin most likely been a "spinner" pass-rusher, Irvin isn't the smartest, so he broke the rules.... he isn't the only in the NFL busted for Adderall, Seahawks aren't the only team to be busted with players that use Adderall. And other teams have done much worse in terms of cheating like the Patriots, and the NFlL paying off Superbowl 40 Refs... speculation but what QB gets flag for making a tackle. Plus, every big Seahawks play was called back on a questionable call.

And in the GB game the call was legit, with evidence supported in the back angle shot of the play, an angle no sports media would show because it shows Golden Tate make the play, even catching it with his left fingertips before the CB got his hands on the ball.

But what is going to matter is the Seahawks Offense that's going to be Top 3 in Scoring Offense, Top 2 in Rushing Offense, and most likely the most efficient passing attack in the NFL. Meaning Russell Wilson, will spread the ball around, and not force it to the same WR over and over again because he'll have a plethora of weapons at his disposal that even the best defenses in the NFL will have trouble defending.

As far as I know, the players of the Seahawks offense have kept their noses clean.

Who cares what they say, Bellicheck (S) is called a genius. Maybe they will call Pete a genius if we win a couple super bowls.

Exactly! I gave up caring what other fanbases thought about the hawks after XL*, if that makes me a Richard Cranium, then so be it!

As a Duck fan I get accused of rooting for cheaters all the time. Or hear, "you just won because you cheated," all the time. My typical reaction is, "Well, it was pretty fun watching those cheaters kick your ass." I imagine it would be no different with the Seahawks.

I don't really consider Adderall to be cheating. As far as banned substances go Adderall is arguably the least severe of them all. I think it's just ammo for Seahawk-haters to make fun of the team for, but that's about it.

The problem with that is we all assume that every team has players who use PEDS and just don't get caught. Unfortunately on your team nobody has to assume and it is a proven fact.

And to say a player is cheating every time they hold somebody or whatever on the field is like comparing apples to oranges. Holding on the field is only risking a flag, not a 4 game suspension. Not quite the same thing LOL!

Still the same thing, you're doing it to gain an edge.

But its whatever, people already think we're dirty, might as well take it another inch and say whatever to this too, they can kiss the ring in feb.

I've seen people score game winning touchdowns because of a hold. I've never seen somebody score a game winning TD because of adderall. So you're right, not quite the same thing. Once actually affects the game.

Actually, you might have very well sen a game winning TD last year if you were watching all the Seahawk games. Sorry bro...couldn't help myself. :)

But seriously, if a player is using a PED you have seen that player make plays while being on it.

Personally I dont like where this is heading. I could care less what other fans think or say. F'em. Seattle fans have been screwed, shit on, lied to, ignored, and generally been abused for decades by the lame stream media and the even more ignorent fan bases of proffesional sports for decades. What hurts is loosing a player for 4 games. There is NO excuse for allowing guys to cheat if your in management of a team. Those 4 games WILL have an affect on the the outcome of those games. Unless it's the 9'rs playing in Seattle. You watch, the beat downs will continue at home. Road games will be a toss up.

Say hello to the #Seadderall Seahawks.

If you don't like it enough to own it, now is the time to start learning to!
