I just about have this one out of my system now. I learned that I don't take an ass whooping in my own in front of my friends and family, in my own house, very well at all. I've posted a few of my long winded rants about what went wrong and who screwed up the most. I've also shared some my constructive thoughts on how to fix the whole mess, and surprisingly enough, a good many are in agreement with most of my conclusions.
Then it struck me a little while ago, that the coaches, players and powers that be, are feeling the same things we've been feeling, only ten times more than we have if that's even possible., I've been a 12th man, processing thru days like yesterday forever, suffering thru some really low points, and that still doesn't make days like yesterday any easier to digest. I'm not to prideful to say I felt heart sick and down right sad as hell for my Seahawks yesterday at games end.
There isn't anything we are going to think, feel, say or do, that the Seahawks haven't already reeled thru ten times more and ten times over as well. I eventually concluded the only thing that any of us 12's can do, once we get all our grief vented, is the same thing they are hopefully doing in Seattle right now, and that is figuring out what got broke and what they are going to do to fix it before Thursday night.
Let's not lose sight of the fact that we have all the talent we need to take it all the way to the super bowl this season, both in players and coaches, but it's going to take some genuine humility and open mindedness by all of them to own up to the problems that exist and how they can individually an.d collectively do their part to fix them.
As 12s that is all we can do as well. There are some very intelligent and knowledgeable members in this forum who can offer some great insights and constructive solutions to their team. Right now is a good time to put all your upset feelings to the curb and instead start talking about how we are fix things and get our arses to another Super Bowl shootout.
If you don't believe that the coaches and players don't troll and lurk in this forum think again, we have heard them reference things said here on occasion, So don't think your words and wisdom are falling on deaf ears or are only limited to the members that we see post here. , I assure you they are not. With that said choose your words wisely and realize that what you say might matter and could conceivably help the team.
In short be thoughtful, constructive and considerate in what you share, if you want to try make a difference.
Go Seahawks!
