Love most of what you said, but Pete was pushed out. He was done and John was smart enough to “unhitch the wagon”.

This team is headed in the right direction for sure. Let’s hope another Bowl is in the making!
JS didn't unhitch anything, remember that he worked for PC. Pete was let go by the owner.

The owner didnt do it without John's input. John was inheriting whatever the team ended up being. The owner wanst going to handcuff him and John wasn going to watch the team he assembled be run into the ground and wasted.

They both spoke to Jody the year Russ was traded and i am sure the conditions and mechanisms for transition, whenever that would occur, were put in place then.

I see it differently. I think that losing streak needed to happen, otherwise they probably wouldn't have felt the need to swap out the linebackers. We are what we are now because of those losses.
Don't disagree that those losses lead to good things but that still doesn't change the fact that the Hawks have yet to register a quality win since their week 1 win against Denver. All the other wins are against teams with losing records. If they beat GB (9-4) that will definitively show the league they truly deserve to be feared.

Week 1 against Denver started out pretty bad on offense

Yep. I see people dismissing the Packers because of their 2-4 record against winning teams, without acknowledging that ours is even worse. The one such win we do have was in week 1 against a team starting a rookie QB in his NFL debut. Nix didn't even throw his first TD pass until a week 4 game against the Jets where he went 12 for 25 for 60 yards. And that's not to say that beating the Broncos wasn't something the team should be proud of, but they're clearly a different team now. I'm also seeing people saying the Rams loss was basically a win because of "self-inflicted wounds", but the Rams had several big ones of their own in that game. The thing that kick-started the Seahawks rally at the end of the first half was a deep pass to JSN where the Rams secondary was just standing around after assuming the play had been called dead after a flag was thrown.

Fortunately, there's an excellent chance to turn all that around with strong opponents in three of the final four, which should give the team enormous confidence going into the playoffs if they can win at least two of those three. Get into the playoffs at 11-5 or 10-6 and they should be considered as strong a contender as anyone after the Lions and Eagles, assuming neither of them have any setbacks in the next four weeks.

I'm assuming this is a girl's spin-off on "Kam".


Clearly inspired by "Taima", good work.


Hey, I liked Matt Flynn too. You could argue that without the push he gave Russ in that initial battle, things don't end up going quite as well as they did. Also, sounds a lot like future Seahawks QB "Win Wilson".

Overall, excellent name!

Beautiful by the way bro!! Congratulations.

Daughters have a way of wrapping you around their finger.

I try to catch myself. I love my son and daughter equally. But…my daughter has it easy.

Example…dishes in the dishwasher are dirty. My son puts his shit in the sink. I slap him in the back of the head and threaten to take his Xbox for a week if he does it again. My daughter does the same thing (she’s four years older) - “it’s ok baby…daddy got it”.

My son’s looking like “WTF!!” 😂😅🤣

Congratulations!
That is very nice, children are a blessing. I had 6 daughters, or my wife did. The oldest passed away weeks after birth, but the oldest living is 48 years young and months away from 49. I have 3 great grandchildren, and 19 grandchildren. Believe me when I say it, I would rather have family than riches. They constantly make me feel alive and important. Congratulations "Sperrydogg". May your life be full of blessings and love.
