Alexander had a great year, but the offense just couldn't really get it together after they had such a remarkable breakout offensive season in 2003. That team had no heart, no courage and no mental toughness. A purely finesse team that got pushed around, but had the talent to be an elite team.
Losing 3 games to the Rams were all equally terrible. The first loss allowing a huge fourth quarter comeback by Bulger, then the second loss on the road after Engram ran into the ref for the go ahead touchdown, and the final one in the wild card round that we were hosting. The refs were so tight that game, Ken Lucas was getting called for everything. Engram dropping the winning touchdown at the end was the nail in the coffin for a team filled with talent and a season filled with what could've been. Thankfully they made up for it the following season by finally getting the Superbowl, only to the robbed.
Man, this thread is a great idea but is also kind of depressing lol

That last play has become the defining moment of the franchise to the rest of the world.
The Seahawks officially own the NFL version of the Bill Buckner ground ball.

LMAO. A bit extreme, but tough to argue. Hope you end up being wrong.
It's not a truth; it's your assumption. And I don't buy it. If we have players that have such weak minds that they are "broken" by that outcome, they don't deserve to be on our roster.SixSeahawk":2d2slq8u said:Seymour":2d2slq8u said:SixSeahawk":2d2slq8u said:SB 49 broke this franchise.

It's true though. I have visions of seeing NFL documentaries about that play many years from now, the way we saw Buckner or Bartman time and time again for years.....until they won.

Not the same.
We won the year prior.
Had manning beaten us the year before, then the proportions of that play would have been as epic of Buckner
ZagHawk":2u561mzm said:100% without a shadow of a doubt, 2014. Miracles had to happen to get the Seahawks all the way back to the SB.
1) Arizona collapsing the second half of the season ensuring NFCW HFA
2) Packers collapsing in the NFCCG and on-side kick recovery
3) Kearse catch to bring Hawks back to the red zone prior to Marshawn run up to the 1.
Then ALL OF THAT negated 100% by that play.
We will never know what the Hawks could have become after two back to back SB wins. Maybe they become the first team in history to win three in a row? Maybe they come back this year and win still cementing dynasty.
Regardless 2014 destroyed the aura around our beloved Hawks, and sadly the only way to get it back is another SB win hopefully with whats left of the LOB. Too bad the outcomes of 2013 and 2014 weren't reversed, it'd definitely feel better..get to SB, lose...get back win dominately.
This season is a disappointment compared to preseason expectations, but as the writing was on the wall for how the end played out. Someone show that clip of Pete nodding his head after the reversed call from the challenge. That's pretty much how I felt watching the game seeing our Hawks get their butts handed to them. Not the Hawks year.

Furthermore, I don't think the seahawks are the same since 2014. I didn't see dominance like we were so used too these past few seasons. Last year it took a missed FG to Squeak by Minnesota. I never thought in my heart they'd win it all these last two years.
People mention the Rams and Bears losses. Even if the Hawks won those games, I didn't think they were going to win a title. I definitely thought they'd win in 2014. Wasn't just the eye test. It was a culmination of events. The LOB at its peak.
SB 49 happens. We go up by ten and Brady leads Pats back. I wasn't worried because I knew Wilson would lead us to a win. Kearse makes the catch. ( I remember Collinsworth saying : " I can't believe he didn't get up and try to score". Looking back, it was unfortunate for us and fortunate for NE he didn't). We have it on the 1 yard line with 30 seconds left. Brady wouldn't of had enough time. I knew we were destined for greatness. Than the Butler play happened. Team hasn't been same since. That will always be the most disappointing.

2014?!?!?! An ALL BEAT TO HELL Secondary, & a concussed Cliff Avril who nearly pulled off a win against a EGOTISTICAL BB & Brady as our most disappointing?????? season??????? GET REAL!!
Bettis Bowl tops my list, nothing else even comes close.
