I blame all the people rooting for NO loss.

Even if the Saints would have won, we would have had to beat the Niners in the last game.

Not if we went 3-0 and they lost another one to the Rams (which judging by how the Rams are playing these days is a distinct possibility).

The bigger problem was always the possibility that the Niners go 3-0 and we go 1-2. Then even beating the niners week 17 would be meaningless.

it was always the worst case scenarios folks were missing in the equation.

As someone that has watched so many Seahawks teams falter down the stretch, I take no chances in angering the football gods. Those without fear or superstition are welcome to always imagine and root for the best case scenario. I'm too jaded by life's vagaries to have that confidence.

Right, because what the fans think and/or who they root for actually has bearing on the outcome of the game. Ranks up there with "we can't get cocky" like we play for the team or something. I kid but...….
Insert aliens meme here...…. :irishdrinkers:

It is indeed my fault. I rooted for the 9er's and when they won I sent this text to all the Seahawk's players, "We got this now! Number 1 seed all the way! We can coast the rest of the season. Have an extra snickers before the game!". Maybe I shouldn't have recommended that extra snickers. Seemed to slow them down.

Sorry.

blaming the Saints, or Vikes, or anyone else for our poor game tonight is like blaming the mail carrier for that big credit card bill you rang up!

To be fair, I wouldn't have rang up that huge credit card bill, paying for all this baby stuff, if it weren't for those visits from the mail carrier. So, there is that. :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: You hit an ace with that one!

Kalispel? Did you happen to play some tennis about 25 years ago?
