It was a good season for Seattle and I look forward to next year. Hopefully they can address some of the soft spots. I really wanted to see Seattle go all the way this year but they just didn't seem to have all the pieces necessary.
Don't forget - Green Bay is for real this year. Seattle got beat by a very good team in brutal conditions that gave the home team a HUGE advantage. Brett Favre has a great offense and they're firing on all cylinders. I hope Favre gets another Super Bowl win and then can finally announce his retirement - going out on top.

We can only hope! The worse play calling I've ever seen. Good season though.Iceshark said:

Exactly Gene Tup: This time there can be no mistake. Holmbgren just cant get it done! Yes its the players too but his allowed play calling was very suspect and weak.fishinfoolz said:
Green bay was an overachiever this year Rob. They were by no way a great team. Farve is a stud and led them there. We should have beaten them as the other good 3 teams they played did this year.
Props to GB! However this man is now rooting for the Giants!
Don't necessarily want Holmgren gone but wouldn't be suprised if he moves on. I hope Alexander goes to work for Casey Treat, cause he doesn't have a prayer in the NFL Tdown: , he's done, thanks for the memories Shawn, pay him his $$$ and move on. Might want to work on the O line in the off season, a punter wouldn't hurt either.
Is it Sept. yet?

I couldn't agree more...I have a lot of respect for Favre, he is one of the old "greats". Football wont be the same without him...Keysrob said:
As with most of your predictions gupper, the Favre man is a true champion and will keep on rolling. He showed today why he is so great. My hat is off to Hasslebeck for a good season but he has too many rookies around him that were over confident.Iceshark said:Ugg, Hope he gets tossed on his keester next week!The Weazle said:
PACKERS!!!!!!!! i am glad they have been my fav team since i been a kid. all i gotta say is great game and a great ending to the rough start for Grant. hard to beat a team that has the best football player ever to play the game. also hard to beat any team when u cant run the ball which has been the case for the hawks all year. cant wait till next weekend. GO PACK

Yes--- I under stand the dissapointment.. But WHY does everyone want to fire Holmgren.. He is one of the BEST.. WHO ya gonna replace HIM with.. Lets hear it??
Was glad to see Tim Ruskell finally admitted letting Hutch go was his mistake.. That's what we need.. an Offensive Line !!

Sportjet, what are you smoking?
Next, Farve has already announced that he is coming back next year whether they win it all or not.
Holmgren's play calling didn't cost them the game and isn't the reason they were 10-6 this year.
Sometimes the better team does win and no Ice, the Packers aren't anymore over rated then we were two years ago when we went 13-3 and the Packers play in a fairly tough division. Much tougher than the Patriots do so are they over-rated too?
Today, the Seahawks didn't choke, they just were beaten soundly by a better team. Ruskel has some work to do in the off season. Defense is ok, maybe a little more depth on the line as Darby is getting up there. We need to upgrade the TE (Pollard was a dissappointment), upgrade the Offensive line (Rob Simms gets beat too much and Chris Gray will retire one day soon, Walter isn't getting any younger either), look to draft a RB in the later rounds, and maybe come up with a big, tall, physical WR.
All in all, it was a good year for the Seahawks and I am looking forward to watching the off season moves that they make.
Pitchers and catchers report in 1 month. Oh, and Ice, next year PLEASE, PLEASE don't pick the Hawks to go all the way again. wink:
I thing Holmgren came back this year as the Champion he was in Green Bay. He showed the fire and determination to win again and I personally enjoyed watching him this year unlike the last 4.
Hasslebeck has come a long way and has nothing to be ashamed of. I see him being player of the year soon.
Next season I see them being much better and becoming a true contender Tup:

I hope you are right Sportjet about Indy. I am sick of the Patriots and Rodney Harrison. That guy got two more personal fouls tonight against the Jags. One of if not the dirtiest player in the league.
As for the Hawks being lucky to get this far, I totally disagree. How many teams revamp their offensive philosophy mid season and go on a winning streak like they did? Not many and you are right about this being one of Holmgren's best coaching jobs this season. They were a botched hand off away from being 11-5 and if they had showed up in Atlanta could have been 12-4. 10-6 is a very good year but if they want to win a road playoff game the running game must improve dramatically next year. Lack of a running game today is what really killed them.

All I can say is I hope the Hawks take away a great 2nd half of the season and bring that game to the first half next year.
As for the rest of the playoffs ... I think Peyton is about to break the mold and sow what a true champion does ...score lots of points.
Tom Brady is ok, his line is awesome but they got hurt today and it showed. Indy is gonna beat them up bad.
The wife is still yelling go Cowboys making my ears hurt but her and Billy need to get over it ... they aint that good. They will win another but in the end....sorry.
Peyton is the man and thats my story and I am sticking to it. Tup:
Have you seen Ice....HA HA...already running.

What a great run for Seahawk football.. When they moved into Qwest field in 2002 fans of the other team would come to our field to watch a game because the games were so poorly attended by the home team fans, including all the 12th men out there.. Six years later they have made the playoffs five years in a row, and won at least one playoff game three years in a row..The stadium is sold out, and the waiting list for tickets is in the tens of thousands. I'm sure there are about 30 teams fans out there that would love to trade places with Hawk fans, and one of the greatest coaches of all-time has led them to where they are..If Holmgren decides he has had enough, it will be a tremendous loss to us all.. His record speakes for itself..What in the world ever happened to reasonable expectations????? What would be a good season, Anything less than winning the Super Bowl is cause for firing everyone, start over and try again??? What a bunch of front running wave riders!!!!! :roll:
