This team needs to be tested

[Jerhawk]

And I’m not talking drug tested like what my co workers think when they see me walking into the office yelling “6-7! 6-7!”

In my honest opinion, I believe the one final test for the 2025 Seahawks to really set themselves up for success and win the Superb Owl is to have a COME FROM BEHIND VICTORY.

This team is so used to playing with a lead. They have led at points in all nine of their games, but they have yet to win that come from behind, clutch your cheeks type of performance. That, imo, will really give this team the confidence to beat anyone, and will most importantly give them confidence to know they can do that against the other top teams come playoff time.

Yes, blowing out the teams is fun, but that isn’t being tested. They’re now getting in the mode of playing one half of football.

I want the Rams to go up like 14-3 on these guys at halftime. Why? Because they need, and I mean really desperately need, to claw back from the brink of defeat. There isn’t a more satisfying victory out there to truly bring this team together.

We need the Seahawks to be tested!

The Rams really do need to be tested.

Stopped reading when you said you want us down 14-3 at halftime. That's crazy logic.

Then you’re missing my point. Oh well

 

[Hawknight]

You mean the Commanders weren't a test?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Well, while I'm half kidding, you WANT them to not blow teams out? Hmmmmm
They win by too much!!!! This sucks!!!!
So confusing hahahaha

 

[Fox0r]

I get what you're saying, but why introduce unnecessary drama into the game when we can just curb stomp everyone? lol

My point and the thesis for my thread is very clear.

This team isn’t going to blow through everyone the rest of the way. I want them poised and ready to win if the other team gets the early jump. If they can get experience with that, it’ll give them that much more confidence to perform if and when they do find themselves in that position in a must win game.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm messing with you, Jer. You know this.
From what I keep hearing; the Rams are some unstoppable force that can't be knocked off. So, you'll get your wish on Sunday.

Because they’re not going to blow out everyone.

If they’re down against a legit good team like the Eagles, Lions, Rams, etc, I want them ready to transition into that type of comeback mentality.

I want, we should all, want this team to prove it to themselves that they can win every game. They need adversity to make them even stronger.

I get what you saying but I'll rather the hawks smash'm right in the throat right out the gate.

Yeah, we've only seen Sam/Hawks pull out one close game, the Card game when we blew our lead. The other two close games we had were our losses to the 49ers and the Bucs, and both games pretty much ended with botched plays with the ball in Sam's hands. Sam is still a bit of an unknown quantity when it comes to winning the big game under pressure for us. There's only one way to find out, and I'm sure it's coming at some point this year, maybe next week.

I mean - yeah! Ill be all sorts of happy to be listening to the bitching about how poor we played in the second half against the Rams in another 44-22 victory.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Winning by 22 points really does suck. Ruined my week. Oh wait. It didn't

 

[Jazzhawk]

My point and the thesis for my thread is very clear.

It’s a poorly reasoned thesis. “Hey, let’s play really crappy for 3 1/2 quarters so we can show people how really badass we are by coming back after playing like dog poop.” No. No. No.

You sound like Pete Carroll. Illogical. You probably subscribe to the “Can you win it in the 1st quarter”? mantra, that has recently proved wrong as well.

I'm a spazz enough watching the Hawks. I could never "want" to see them come from behind unnecessarily.

Self preservation.

Plus, the batteries in the AED are fully charged after these recent blowouts.

Shyt yeah. I'd take convincing wins all the way to the stage to accept the Lombardi.
