I will start by saying I will be onboard with an 18 game season, even if they eliminated preseason as a whole durign the next bargaining agreement.
Man oh man do I get excited when football season is back. Real football where players wearing my teams logo and playing ball. I always love how every preseason game in Seattle it is sunny and warm, the atmosphere is so chill. You see more parents bringing their kids and fans in their summer Seahawks get up. You see people who are just happy to have football back. There is no expectation, no fighting, nobody worried the playoffs are no longer an option.
Preseason is fun. There is competition like crazy amongst the backups and young guys. We get a chance to see players who are fighting for their careers put it all on the line. Some may never get another chance. We get to see those draft picks up close and personal, this is their first real action in an NFL uniform and opportunity to make an impression to the fans. You can hear people talking about who's going to be a starter and who's going to get cut. Will this be another year where the pre-season MVP gets shafted or is this the time where the guy who looked like a star really is the next man up. The is so much speculation and so much to enjoy.
It is only a few days away and Football is back!!!
SEA....HAWKS!!!!
