For real?

Meanwhile, as we question if the Hawks are overrated with their 3-0 record, you've got teams like Dallas, the Bengals, the Ravens, the 9ers, and more who'd love to be in our position now.

I don’t care who thinks Seattle is overrated. I’d rather be thought of as frauds at 3-0 than not being 3-0. Who wouldn’t???

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Good. I hope everyone in the media keeps writing them off.

Detroit is a good test. If we go 4-0 heading into San Francisco...wow.

That won't happen

I dont think they are being written off, just not talked about...at all. Vikings are getting all the love right now and rightly so. If we beat Detroit hopefully that changes

Forgot we play the Giants in between. 5-0 heading into SF...

My point is that I embrace the hate. Bring it on.

Why not? We have beaten the Lions in Detroit the last two times. We have their number for some reason.

Yes, the team is currently missing a signature win over a quality opponent. But in any event, that involves the "here and now". There will be bumps along the way this year (maybe Detroit?), but it's all part of the growth process. I'm more pumped about the multi-year journey we're about to go on.

Monday's game is a tossup, imo. Can't wait.

We have two more games before the Niners

Ahhh.

Their bosses probably discourage them from saying "These teams have all taken care of business, so as far as I'm concerned, they're all 'for real'". If they have to pick someone it makes sense to take the team with the inexperienced coaching staff and easy schedule so far".

Keep winning, and they won't have anything to say anyway.

 

[Ostatehawk]

Our schedule going forward is no picnic.

Giants and Bears look to be the easiest games left, on paper. The Cardinals might get a little easier than they look right now - as I have to assume that at some point Kyler will go back to being Kyler.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Exactly why stacking up these 3 wins will likely prove to be HUGE, imo.

 

[bileever]

Meh, I think we all have questions and doubts ourselves. It would be foolish to say the Seahawks are an elite team based on those three games.

But on the other hand, no NFC team has looked invincible so far. It's a wide-open field this year.

Wah Wah Wah...East Coast bias.

Joe Montana's 49ers didn't seem to have a problem with that. Nor did Steve Young's 49ers.

The Raiders never had a problem with it.

The Packers? Nope

Legion of Boom? Nope

It's called earning respect. Win and you get it.

I'm sorry but I agree with them. Right now the Hawks are a paper tiger. Even at 3-0. You can't change who you play. You can only beat them. In time this will change if they are who we think (and want) them to be. Until then, enjoy it.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Thank you for another Monday laugh. 3-0 and some are acting like this team sucks. Quite entertaining.
If the Rams or Niners were 3-0, people would be acting like they are world beaters.

 

[jammerhawk]

The disrespect is consistent and palpable. When our "pretenders" go 4-0 and then 5-0 they'll still be disrespected.

Relax and enjoy this, nothing ever changes the way it stays the same.

Anyone remember XLVIII where before the game those same talking heads didn't think the Hawks had a chance against that powerful #1 O of Denver lead by Manning? Nothing ever changes out west in southern Alaska.

It's part of being a Seahawks fan.

I think you've used the term "Paper Tiger" in exactly the wrong way. A paper tiger is a team that looks great on paper and then fails in the real games. We are the exact opposite. A team that doesn't look that great on paper, has no media hype, but just wins.
