When Seattle beats Atlanta will the disrespect end?

--We've crushed some great teams this year and keep getting written off. The whole Fox crew said we are going to see the most complete team in football come Sunday. Okay, when we knock them off (and they are rested), what will be the excuse?

The most complete team in football? That's funny, IMHO the Seahawks are as complete as anyone and more so than most.

"WE ALL WE GOT! WE ALL WE NEED!"

Respect is earned from winning championships. Lets win a championship and then collect respect.

 

[Davehawk]

We're actually being given a large amount of respect, going back a few weeks even.

Sure you can find people that say something negative and pick those comments out, but overall most people i've seen talking about us are giving us mad respect.

 

[Cartire]

The no respect rant is getting old. Ever since Chicago, we have been getting plenty of respect. Constantly picked to win. Every media outlet has said that we are the team nobody else wants to play. All the media is doing is trying to hype this game up. If they came out and said, "atanta is a horrible team and don't stand a chance" there would be less hype.

What disrespect are you talking about? I think Atlanta is a complete team and has a potentially better offense than we do. Their defense is close to as good as ours. We are playing in their house. Seahawks better come as prepared as they can be. This disrespect thing is getting old.

The only respect you need is self-respect.

 

[Subzero717]

I think we are getting respect. Every pre game show analyst panel overwhelmingly had us winning. What more do you want?

 

[Scottemojo]

Dawg, I hope not. I think this team thrives on it.

 

[truehawksfan]

I think the Hawks are getting a lot of respect from the media.

The only ones who disrespect the Hawks are opposing team fans. But, I can't blame them because the Hawks don't have a recognizable player like a Brady, Manning, Brees, Rogers, etc. And, the Hawks haven't had many Nationally televised games, so little exposure as well.

Yeah, we were picked to beat the Redskins by the vast majority of outlets. Tons of people are calling Seattle 'one of, if not the most complete team in football.' We're on drudge for chrissakes. This team is getting respected, and it's a lot of fun to read.

Win or lose on Sunday, this has just been an unbelievable season. Way better than my '8 or 9 wins' prediction.

 

[falcongoggles]

And what headlines has everyone seen today? We won because RGIIIs knee was hurt. Annoying caveats being added to why we win games is driving me bonkers.

 

[volsunghawk]

Wow.

Coming into this game, we were the team that no one wanted to play, and the only knock on us was that we had a subpar road record (a knock that was 100% accurate, for the record).

Then, we go into a hole by 2 TDs and play a mostly sloppy-as-hell game and still win, while benefiting from Griffin's hobbled state.

We've BEEN getting respect, people. It's just that some of you are so addicted to the outrage you love to feel that you can't see it. Stop already, if not for your own mental state, then for the sake of the rest of .NET.

I don't care if the team gets respect. I mean honestly these guys are going to win the game with or without respect. Only one thing matters. Get that and the respect will follow. And we, the 12th man, get loads of respect.

After the first 2 drives I can't blame people for saying they won that game because RG3's knee got reinjured. The defense did not look like the #1 in points allowed. Thanks to Zach MIller the offense was lucky to not go 3 and out the first 2 drives. Not to mention even though the offense was putting up yards they were leaving lots of points on the board. Bruce's sack towards the end probably doesn't happen either with an elusive RG3 back there. Also, I guarantee had DangeRuss or Lynch gone down after being up 14-0 in the 1st and they lost everyone here would be saying that's why the Skins won.

No offense op, but I really don't understand why someone has to post the same type of stuff every single week.

I don't really see any excessive "disrespect" and even if there was, who cares.

I just don't get why seattle fans care so much about what the media thinks.

 

[razgriz737]

I've seen nothing but mediots picking us to beat Atlanta all day.

You are so "this".

Disrespect ends with a Lombardi in our stadium, not before.

The Broncos are the "most complete" team.

Yeah, most analysts had us winning vs the Redskins and a lot of people have us beating the Falcons...people are caught up in the past.
