If you could change the outcome of one play in Seahawks history, what would it be?

Maybe Braylon Edwards dropping the GW TD pass in Arizona last year? Would have given us a home playoff game, which may have led us to the Super Bowl.

Hasselbeck's interception in SB XL*?

Maybe something from 1986 to get us into the playoffs? We probably would've won the SB that year.

Let me hear your thoughts.

Well hell, why not have Sherman pick that last play in Atlanta last year?
I think the Seahawks would have toasted SF in SF in the playoffs last year

...or let's say Brandon Browner doesn't give up the touchdown to TY Hilton last game so we would still be undefeated right now...

D-Jack doesn't get flagged for OPI during XL.

That's all. Wondering how the game would have turned out without that flag starting an avalanche of misfortune still haunts me.

That was my first thought too.

What if in 1998 we had instant replay reviews and Vinny Testaverde's helmet touchdown was overturned? Would that have been good or bad? We would have made the playoffs and Dennis Erickson would have remained as our head coach for at least another year and Mike Holmgren would more than likely gone somewhere else to coach.

Marshawn Lynch stays in bounds (or goes out a little earlier) against the Falcons on that last drive. Can't fault him for being a stud, but to think if we could have just run two or three more plays from inside the 20 and only left 10-15 sec on the clock instead of 30...

DJax OPI in XL was pretty huge though. We traded field position all first quarter and finally marched down and punched them in the mouth only to get called with the first of several unfortunate and outright bizarre penalties. The momentum was gone and we could do absolutely nothing to get it back.

XL- they don't call a hold on Locklear and the pass to Stevens at the Stealers 1-3 yard line stands hence we go in for a TD next play. Either that play or The play where Rothlisberger did not score however the ref rules it a TD.

Phantom holding call on Locklear wiping out first and goal on the 1 in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl. Make that the right call - "Offside Pittsbugh, declined"

Score there to take the lead and I really think the Hawks hang on and win.
