We Are A Boring Team

[strohmin]

The difference between the LOB team and this team as far as personality goes is Richard Sherman and Marshawn Lynch . Richard Sherman put the Hawks on the map with his talk and Marshawn just being himself. If it weren't for those two, that team would be considered boring as well.

You might want to edit your OP in this thread with "this is from 2024" in all caps bold at the top of the post, or you're probably going to be getting a lot more responses like you've already gotten.

Forget it. I don't really care. What's more, sometimes posts I write are written somewhat playfully in the spirit of what's going on with the team at the time. People tend to forget things like how tired fans were with mediocrity, how unsettled much of the fanbase was with our QB, how we had completely lost our once imposing home field advantage, that we had no answer whatsoever for our QBOTF, that we had an absence of stars, that our OL was still amongst the worst in the league, that we had a horrible OC at the time, etc, etc...

As they say, hindsight is 20/20.

A testament to JS/MM for reviving Seahawks culture and flipping the script on everything in such a short amount of time. Better move aside if you're not on board with the program, they're making big time moves.

Not boring to me. At all.

 

[projectorfreak]

One thing I love is how often they rotate guys and keep track of snap counts keeping everyone fresh and not having an always really short time on the snap clock to get the play off or any of the other things that had been going on for over the last decade
Really well organized and like MM says , there's always room for improvement
Never satisfied
Go Hawks

It was not too long ago that we had one of the most interesting owners, glamorous of head coaches, a defensive unit that had a nickname that most fans of the game knew, colorful personalities like Marshawn, Bennett, Sherman, Baldwin, a collection of true nationally recognizable stars, up to perhaps five HOFers, a loud, raucous, festive stadium and crowd that was one of the most difficult of places for visiting teams to walk away with a win from, a team the national media could not ignore as much as they've always been want to.

Now we've got a mostly mute and invisible owner, a head coach who, though he may prove to be talented and successful, will never be mistaken for a beacon of charisma, a general manager who lurks in the shadows unable to give the clear impression that he knows how to build a successful team on his own, a team bereft of recognizable star power, and seeming to lack much of any real leadership in the locker room, a starting QB who could never be mistaken for, nor would you want to be one of the faces of the franchise, a team mostly devoid of real personality capable of inspiring a franchise, a team stuck in the muck of mediocrity for years now, and basically speaking, a team without an identity.

It's no wonder the national media is back to paying little to no attention to us. It's no wonder our seats are invaded by the fans of other teams, and that our stadium is no longer the thunder dome it once was. It's no wonder us fans are stuck hoping for an improbable series of events to happen to squeak into the playoffs as fodder for a true contending team.

We are a boring, uninspiring, faceless, identity-less team and franchise from top to bottom now. We are in need of a massive reset, and such a reset might well have to start with ownership. Someone's got to take hold of this mess of bland, tasteless mediocrity and start breathing some new life into this franchise. We need stars. We need personality and leadership. We need new faces for the franchise. We need something to reignite the fanbase's interest in and commitment to the team.

Just what I'm feeling about this team at present.

9ers, Steelers, Packers always have room in their fan base.

Huh?

This is what happens when a year old thread gets bumped. People don't realize that it's from a year ago, and respond to year old posts about last year's team as though they are posts from today about this year's team.

I’d have said the same thing the day it was written had I noticed it.

A lot of us have suffered through some very lean years without ever voicing anything close to the OP.

Fans can and should fan however they see fit, I’ll support that till the day I die.

Fanning how you see fit and putting it in writing opens you to criticism from many different angles.

My stance when I read something of that nature?

31 other teams to root for.

I read it as generally expressing frustration with the current state of the team at the time, and frustration at the feeling of being "stuck in mediocrity" for so long. I'm pretty sure many of us were feeling similarly even if we expressed it differently, or didn't express it at all.

If some people were perfectly happy with the state of the team at this point last year, that's cool. Good for them. But that doesn't mean that those of us that weren't should go root for a different team. That's generally not really how being a fan works.

Criticize the post, not the poster...

I agree with these statements. And I think to question a fan's love for and loyalty to their team because you don't like what they have to say about it, or dislike how they express their feelings about it at a given point in time is a pretty cheap and ignoble shot.

 

[ivotuk]

Yes, they dominated the trenches on both sides of the ball.

They were losing teams with lots of early, 1st round picks on their teams.

This was originally posted a year ago. At the time Geno our QB, DK was our #1 receiver, we had one of the very worst OL's in the league, one of the worst running games in the league, and arguably the worst OC in the league, among other things.

A lot has changed since then.

Ah ok, weird it was bumped then. Let sleeping dogs lie.

Simple statement

You or anyone else that doesn’t like their team, or think they are boring my opinion is find another team that excites you

We’re both completely welcome to our opinions.

You put your opinion in writing as did I, we are equally open to any criticism that follows.

Hopefully now that the Seahawks are playing well, you’re no longer bored, and you’ve jumped back on the …..GoHawks

I never jumped off the... I'm loyal to the team that I love.
