Our offense will have 8 of 11 starters under the age of 28 who have been voted into the Pro Bowl already in their careers. Feel free to fact-check me (cuz I didn't), but this has to be some kind of record doesn't it??

Holy crap.

Russell Wilson
Marshawn Lynch
Michael Robinson
Sidney Rice
Percy Harvin
Russell Okung
Max Unger
Zacharias Miller.

Somebody's gonna nitpick you and say that Russell Wilson wasn't voted in or something, but I think you're right. That's pretty sick. Good find.

Also, I f'n love the name Zacharias! Can we petition the league or the team to legally force him to change his name to that? I'd die if I heard Steve Raible say that a few times. Warren Moon trying to say it? Oh man, that would be classic!

Somebody will be right. In addition, Grandpa Robinson is 30 years old. I bothered to research my own theory slightly. Average age of those 8players is 26.

8 starters on one unit that decorated at that age is stunning when you consider it.

Ahh, age is but a number. Who's counting? Besides, Robinson's got the spirit of a 25 year old!

It really is amazing though. Especially when you consider we went a while without having an offensive player voted to the Pro Bowl. Now, we're loaded with em. All hail John Schneider and Pete Carroll.

I have to believe the # of Pro Bowlers on this offense is equal to or greater than their counterparts on the SuperBowl winning teams of the Patriots, Rams, or Cowboys during their glory-eras.

Now, obviously, we have not accomplished what those teams did. The point is, I think, self-evident.

We are primed for success and the potential is there to do incredible things.

Yes, I agree. Jerry Jones recently talked about the Cowboys' "Glory hole" days. Well, perhaps we have entered the Seahawks' glory hole?

It would be to our advantage if Moffit were to pull his head out of his glory hole and contribute something other than comic relief to that effort.

LOW BLOW! Random Moffitt attack, 15 yard penalty, loss of internet street cred. Take it easy on the dude, he's gonna be at the first ever Seattle WeDay. Wouldn't want any of the kids who read these forums to have their dreams of their hero Moffitt, running wind sprints in a sideways rain, crushed before their very eyes.

Hey, peaches. You are unemployed. Why not spend the next couple hours exploring the significance of this probowl offense with those of great offenses past and report back with a complete comparative analysis of the most storied gloryholes of our time?

That hasn't stopped several million people. Step your game up.

You forgot Kam Chancellor.

Oh yes, that much admir'd offensive weapon, Kam Chancellor....

I'm pretty certain you have to check your Kam Chancellor's into hand luggage. Anything that hits that hard MUST be an offensive weapon

They are destined to win many Superbowls. Wilson is the prince that was promised. It is known.


You've watched "DUNE" to many times.

Sweet another record that doesn't involve a Superbowl win for the Seahawks. Hurray!
