I had a moment of clarity today, and it hit me like a truck.
This team has given me two straight Owl appearances, and won one. We were the better team last year, but we gave it away.
My faith in this team has somehow wavered this season. At 2-4, it's easy to see why. Most everyone is writing us off. We've led in the fourth quarter in all six games, and have given wins away. It's not pretty, and this season may end up being quite the letdown.
But the worst part of this season for me was being at the Carolina game and hearing the boo birds at CenturyLink. That was probably the most embarrassed I've ever been as a Seattle sports fan. We lost, we gave it up, and it sucked. But hearing the boos really struck a bad nerve with me, and for the first time in a very long time, I was absolutely ashamed. I can't imagine what the players felt hearing the "12's" boo their team, rather than getting rabid and cheering them in the worst of times.
Dick Sherman, rightfully calling us out.
How did we get so weak? So the team is struggling, so what? Do we really think this team is sunk? This group of guys, that strives on being the underdogs? Do we really think they can't win eight of the next 10, or win out completely? In my heart of hearts, I believe that that is exactly what they will do.
But booing? If anyone here at .NET let out a boo last Sunday, you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm not a better fan than you, and this isn't what this is about. But if you booed this group of players, you should be ashamed of yourself. They don't deserve that.
Why don't we know who these guys are? Backs against the wall. Earl and Sherm say that's right where they need to be. I'm with Tical in the belief that this playoff run that will transpire the rest of the way will be epic. And if it doesn't end with a celebration in Santa Clara in February, so what? But I am fully expecting that to still happen, because I believe in the Seahawks and what they can accomplish.
Believe, have faith. Let this team find themselves again.
We're winning this week. And the week after. And the week after that.
SEA...
Don't give up hope. This is still the most talented roster in the NFL. And they're backed into a corner now. And the rest of the NFL should be scared ********.
Go Hawks.

Sherman was asked why fans shouldn't panic about the team's 2-4 start.
"Because we know who we are," he said. "Obviously they don't if they're concerned. Sometimes you've got to treat the fans and some of the critics just the same because they don't know any better. They see what they see. They hear what they hear, and sometimes it's easy to pass judgment.
"It's no problem with being concerned and things like that, but if all is lost for them, they're probably the only ones giving up faith. The guys in this building feel the same way as they always have."
