Russell Wilson willed the team to that win.

[gargantual]

Definitely a team effort, although it felt like we were risking RW health for a lot of those first downs. It looked like most of them weren't designed (although a few WERE) - I just don't want to trade our players for wins. Was thinking the same thing at the end. Would rather lose a game than lose Sydney Rice for the season. Hopefully he's alright, and since he walked off on his feet and not in a neck brace, he probably IS......siiiiiiiiigh.

That was the Russell Wilson I remember in the Big Ten Championship. Threat to throw and threat to run. DangeRuss or DaggeRuss they are the same.

TIL Russell Wilson is short because his giant balls loaded his growth plates as an adolescent.

Hilarious!

 

[KARAVARUS]

I bet Gruden is loving this!!! This makes me a lot more excited for flying into Seattle next weekend for the game. Love this kids heart.

 

[w00t]

I really didn't believe he was this good. Now I do.

I'm waiting for Hasselbeck to tell us why our excitement bothers him.

If I were the type, I would go for Wilson in a heartbeat.

 

[Trenchbroom]

Oh and one more thing: THIS is the Russell Wilson that we saw in the pre-season! Back when they let him do whatever he wanted to comPETE for the job.

Kudos to Pete for being true to his word and opening the whole playbook.

I do believe Russell's 3 game-winning drives in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter and overtime are a rookie record.

I believe it is. Dude has what it takes to win games.

Can we officially and definitively say that Wilson tilts the room? 8)

 

[Blitzer88]

Russell was unbelievable today. So many things were going wrong around him, yet he never gave up and led us to a victory. So happy to have him as our QB.

I know what you mean, but really gotta give him credit here lately. He's been handing out RW some props. It's given somewhat begrudgingly, but given nonetheless.

If the proverbial corner was turned today, this will go down as one of the most important Hawk wins in history. I mean that. We may have became a team today, a team that has an undisputed leader. Feels good to have the most important position in the league locked down for a number of years. Most would have mailed it in after that tying FG, RW indeed willed us to victory. I have never been so proud of a young QB. Just watched his interview.......as always.....talked about everyone BUT himself, and ended with Go Hawks!

This kid is simply very, very special.

Hell of a game by Wilson. Two game winning drives in one game.

 

[gargantual]

I've been with everyone else with the emotional rollercoaster ride, but it's funny how we could have EASILY been saying all these things all of last week if we'd scored four more points (or if the defense had stopped the Fins at the end).

3 measly points and us bi-polar SOBs are swinging one direction or the other.

 

[Coug_Hawk08]

Gosh, everyone (in the news) is getting all hot for Luck with his comeback win today (after throwing 3 interceptions and putting his team in a hole). I hope Russell gets appropriate consideration for RoY. Not saying its a slam dunk, but there is a strong case to be made.

 

[entropyrulesall]

Everyone talks about his killer eyes. At first i compared him to Dexter,#vigilante, but now i think a more apt description is a Great White shark going in for the kill.

Anyone with me? Those sharks have a deadly peace to their kills; ferocious and opportunistic. No messing around, no hesitating, no mercy; just dissecting and executing the inevitable. As does RW, "#3"!

 

[entropyrulesall]

If I were the type, I would go for Wilson in a heartbeat.

still tooshort!!

I think today finally, we saw what we could have been more often this season. I laughed when I read the pro Flynn comments several games into this year.
