The Patriots are irrelevant

[LTH]

It is My contention that GB and NE are irrelevant... The Hawks did almost lose the NFC championship game... they almost lost because they didnt exicute the factors that they control such as QB reads, dropped passes, penalties, field position and turnovers their own mistakes it had very little to do with poor play on GB side.,.. Baldwin and Kearse are prime examples of that... And it is irritating to me to keep reading GB blew that game because its crap... the Hawks won that game!

Deion was right about Baldwin... Baldwin does not posess the size nor the talent of the top teer recievers in the league but to be great he doesnt have to...If he goes up against the best corner in the league he might get beat maybe 8-10 times but its those two times he beats that top corner that is important... If the right play is called, if Wilson makes the right read and see's Baldwin (or in the GB game it was Kearse) when he is open at clutch times in the second most important game of the year the Hawks win... So in actuality GB's corners are irrelevant as long as The Hawks exicute the things they control in their game plan and the players believe with out a doubt in there minds they can make the play

you've heard the saying any team can beat any team on any given day right? the reason for that is because everybody in the NFL is a good player... and all the coaches are smart... Carroll drafts well because he picks the players that work in his system, Players that are competitors and players that have heart... its all about using those players to their strengths and capabilities and plugging them in to the grand scheme along with execution....


The New England Patriots are Irrelevant!

I don't know about irrelavent, but it's my opinion that if both teams play fairly mistake free (meaning they both execute well on offense and defense and no TO's for either team) then we're going to win the game.

We have way more talent and athleticism from top to bottom on both sides of the ball than NE does. I know, I know the Pats have this great, outstanding offense. Tell ya what, it's all based on execution not speed or athleticism. Two of our LBers are faster than all of their starting WRs. Our QB is as fast as any of their RBs, and faster than most of them.

Carroll and all the players always say one game at a time and it doesnt matter who they play because everybody is good...

The truth is the Hawks believe they are the best and can compete with anyone... it doesnt matter who they play...what matters is how they exicute the things they control, what intensity they play at and how much they believe in them selves as a team..... its as simple as that...

and Ive heard it a hundred times from the Hawks and it kinda just sunk for me I think its because it was presented in a very humble way...

They are getting pretty close to it. ......and 100% of their trolls here are however!

You're not crazy, I just posted this over in the NFL Nation forum but I think it fits here too and I really want to hear some feedback on it.

I get that in the early 2000's the Patriots won 3 of 4 Super Bowls, and honestly I dont know a ton about the team that accomplished that amazing success. But if you look at the last ten years(entire century!), Belicheck's post season record doesn't seem that impressive to me. Especially considering he has, arguably, the best QB in the history of football.

Here are his numbers over the past ten seasons including this year, 11-8 (57%) total record, Missed the playoffs once, Super Bowl appearances 2, Super Bowl Wins 0.

Now before you get all puffy chested Pats fans, here you are, with a 3 time Super Bowl winning HOF QB that alot of people would say is the Greatest QB in the history of the NFL, however, the divisional record of the AFC East over the last 10 years not including Pats is a whopping .429, that would rank dead last according to this random SOS article i found from earlier in 2014http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...th-of-schedule-raiders-at-no-1-colts-at-no-32. Why is this important? Your team is handed the softest schedule every single year playing in that craptastic division, which basically equates to an auto Home Field Playoff game with a HOF QB every single year, I'm surprised yall dont have 6-7 Trophies already tbh.

To put the numbers into perspective Pete Carroll, since being the Seahawks HC, is 7-2 (78%), missed the playoffs once(before he had a quality QB), Super bowl appearances 2, Super Bowl wins 1. NFC West Win percentage the last 5 years is .496 which would rank 15 on the link provided, basically an over all average division.

The New England Patriots have been Irrelevant for the past century!

 

[CANHawk]

They're an AFC team. The AFC is complete ass right now. And they're in one of the worst divisions in that shitty conference like my man already said. So what if they're the biggest midget, we'll still toss their tiny ass down the stairs.

 

[Grahamhawker]

Well, despite all the media hype and ongoing over-analysis, the team that flat out "brings it" will likely win tomorrow's game.

If the Hawks and Pats "bring it " equally and play their best possible game, I think a Hawk win is eminent.

If you're saying only the Seahawks can beat the Seahawks, I think it is somewhat true. Players need to execute, plays need to be made. On the Superbowl stage I think it really comes down to who can be mentally ready to stand up and "bring it".

I'd be more nervous if I was a Pats' fan, for sure.

 

[SPIRITOF12]

I'm sure you won't see posted on the Seahawks locker room wall "the patriots are irrelevant". That kind of an attitude will get you a long quite plane flight back from Arizona. They are not practicing to play an irrelevant team, they are practicing to play a team that wants this win as bad as we do, and are more than capable of pulling it off if Seattle lets its guard down and is not playing at its best.

This is the NFL's Clash of the Titans. Some say that were destined to collide at the Super Bowl. The moment we think we are the only Titan in this game, we already lost.

 

[LTH]

I think we are looking at a hybrid coaching scheme in Carroll... a bit of Walsh, a bit of Monte K...and a whole lot of well thought out psychological direction that is a ground breaking in concept for the NFL... I think we are at the beginning of a dynasty that is going to dominate the NFL for a while... multiple SB's... I know the national media doesnt see it... Im not sure the average Seahawk fan see's it... but I see it... I think the Hawks are going to Blow them out and for no other reason than what I have stated in the above post... all you have to do is look at this season and understand that if any other team would have suffered the O line injuries this team did they would not have made the playoffs yet this team is in the SB... What does that say? These guys are dialed in hard core and are bring their game to a whole different level of play... Watch them tear apart New England... and if Im wrong Ill eat crow... but Im not...

Thats the reason why Seattle would NEVER say that...they have great respect for all of the teams they play... but truthfully they believe they are the best and no one comes close... if you dont believe me listen to sherman listen to any of them....

I'm with you man, if Seattle plays a bad game they could still pull out a win as we saw last week, if they play their average game they win. But if they play fired up and execute with precision like they are capable of this game won't even be close.

Pats on the other hand have to play their best game of the year, they have to be damn near perfect and even then they could still lose.

 

[LTH]

Im not sayin anything that anyone of the Seahawks havent said in every press conference in the past two years or better...

1. one game at a time
2. it doesnt matter who is the other team we are playing
3. its always about what we do and how we prepare...
4. they talk about how great their opponet is
on and on and on...they just say it in a Humble way

Actually, you've accidentally stumbled across something I tried to impress upon students at the kung-fu school where I black-belted before my last motorcycle wreck. When competing, the true competition isn't the other guy, it's yourself. You have absolutely no control over how good, talented, or tenacious the other person is, you only have control over those things inside you. During competition, if you get everything out of yourself that's inside, then if the other person either doesn't have it as good as you or can't bring it out you win. If your best isn't as good as the other person's best and you both perform to your potential you lose. The real competition is getting the highest skills inside you, then bringing them out without regard to the other person.

In that way, the other team is always irrelevant.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

How can the other team in the SB be irrelevant? I'm confused.

Did you watch last year's Super Bowl? There is your answer.

This is the "Hawks world", everyone else is just living in it!

Because its not about what NE does... its about what Seattle does.... thats the fundemental belief by the Seattle Seahawks... The same concept holds true for the Pats...only they dont have the philosophy as the Seahawks... the pats are hoping to win... the Seahawks Know they are going to win especially after the Greenbay game...


I gaurentee you there is not one player on the Seahawks that has any doubt that they are going to win tomorrow...its a mind set marrage with incredible talent...

Just my take...

[LTH]

The best way for me to explain my thinking is... if you play golf... and you have a 20ft putt... there are times when you know you are going to hit that putt and you do...but there are also times when your not sure if your gonna hit that putt and you miss it... all the Hawks totally believe they are going to hit that putt...

Remember when the mariners were playing I think it was the Angels trying to make the play offs... it was late in the game and the mariners were down and griffey was at the plate... he knew he was going to make it happen and so did all the fans... and he did... same concept

YES!!! thats it!! But Ive been listening to Carroll and the whole team talk about it for as long as Carroll has been coach of the Seahawks and I just recently saw it... I wonder how long its gonna take the national media to see it...
