Welcome to TD. No home field advantage here.

Dallas, NE are far worse fan bases dude. Get real. Are you a fortywiner fan?

Oh I see you are from Michigan. Still sore over the Rose Bowl thrashing the Huskies gave you guys in 1991? 103,000 on hand to smash you guys 34-14. Desmond Howard.

Snubbie ... It's been quite a while since I crossed paths with redhaze but if I'm not mistaken he's actually a Buckeye alumni ... and quite intelligent. Like Panama Hat intelligent. Except he knows seppo sports.

You are right. They are better.

The best teams so far have the best defenses so let's rank the top defenses overall - 2016 NFL

props. you just used a 3 week old article that only took into account 2 GAMES of the season to justify your argument.

bottom line: theyve had by far the easiest schedule thus far. lets see what they can do vs atl, statistically (theyve played a bunch of shit Ds) the best O so far.

Teams coming off a bye generally do well, its a big advantage.

That said, the dirty birds have just beat last year's superbowl teams.

The birds are in the midst of a ten day road trip, as they elected to go direct from Denver to Seattle, to keep travel down. Interested to see if this will payoff.

Exacerbated by the most annoying coach in the league.

yup. the 10 year old who smacks his gum all gm and acts like a 7 year old when something doesnt go his way.

So the three noobs are all Seahawk haters. Should be an interesting thread this season.

I lived in Seattle for a short while back in the mid, to late '90s. It was all about the Sonics, back then. No one had much good to say about the Seahawks. Fair-weathered lot.

Shawn Kemp did have some sick dunks though...

Yeah, I see it the same way.

I'm from the area, originally.

"12" is the year they became Seahawk fans.

I intentionally did *not* wear any Seahawk gear b/c I didn't want people to think I was on the bandwagon.

On Facebook people show selfies of themselves with painted facies, hats, scarves, and Jerseys - but they never did that in 2011.

People even take pictures with the 12th Man flag at a wedding. (Stupid.)

There are however, some long-time, dedicated Seahawk fans at the base who followed the religiously since 1976.

In general, many Seattle fans - that even go to Seahawk and Mariners games do not the details of the game or team, in general.

liking Pete Carroll. It just goes on, really. Utterly intolerable people.

Pete Caroll deserves to be liked IMO. I know many call him "Pete the Cheat" from his days at USC, but he's done well in Seattle (with John Sneider).

In general, Seattle fans are fair-weather.

There were some more dedicated fans that got hooked on the Mariners during and after the 1995 season. However, for the last 15 years the Mariners have been a badly run organization, and they lost respect and attention. I think it was fair to walk away from the M's.

The Sonics attracted the fair weathers also. (Hey, we're from Seattle). George Karl had some great teams and the Sonics went to the NBA finals in (1996 if I recall correctly).

If a team is mediocre for more than 2 years (or so) people don't follow too closely, except for the dedicated fans.

Now....do we notice a new bandwagon in Seattle and Western Washington? Damn right.

The new fairweathers are raving about the UW Huskies. They are strong and hot. #5 in the nation (of possibly biased SEC and ACC voters against them of the top 25).

I went to a lot of UW Husky games as a kid with pop, and went to a Rose Bowl and a couple other bowls.

The UW Dawgs went through the highlight of the Don James years, withered a bit, had a crap jerk coach (Jim Lambright), Newheisel came in and was tossed, they went mediocre and are now blazing.

Talk about a fake fan bandwagon fan base. I was on board in '83 with Jim Zorn and Curt Warner.

I always followed the Seahawks. I went to about 1 game per year.

And the 1978 rose bowl, when the UW beat Michigan. I remember watching that game.

One of my relatives was a starter who played for the Huskies under Don James.

Ya 115 consecutive home sellouts is a good sign of that.

The Kingdome in the late eighties was a tough ticket to get, I wanted to go to a game there and could never get in.

AFC team was always Seattle for me, til they joined our NFC West and started beating us...... I like Cleveland now.... Because.....

Very noticeable all the PACNORWEST Pinoys suddenly became Seahawk fans around 10-12. Not many seem to be Mariners fans but just wait if they make it to the WS.

But, must admit I didn't officially turn in my Bengals hat for Seahawk hat until 2007 when I retired.

With the Cardinals being worse than advertised to date, like em or hate em, the Hawks have an excellent shot at taking the division.

That is true. Its early and the division is wide open. End of the day its gonna be the Cards or Hawks that take it. This week is pretty important, Arizona has a game they should win but nothing has been a given this season. Hawks have a test against a good (but not clearly legit just yet) Atlanta team.

Should be a good week of football here. Starts in 45 minutes!

Interesting to date... Hauschka doing his best to lose Seattle the game....

Oooooops Earl Thomas III interception

^ Seahawks played like shit. Sherman gave up two TD's on blown coverage. Very uncharacteristic of him and missing Kam Chancellor played a part. It's clear Russell Wilson is still hurt as he was not mobile at all.

Got lucky on that last play because it was clearly pass interference. On to Arizona. Looking for a Jets upset tomorrow.

Klarsey.

I almost always watched the Seahawks from about the age of 9.

Yeah, with your home team, it's a part of who you are. Nothing wrong with that.
