Seattle Fans Get Their Vengance
That Sunday night football game was pretty solid. Seattle is on the upswing after their usual early season disappointment, the Pats are in the middle of their usual monolithic seasonal stomping of the weak and were ripe for their random mid-to-late season loss to keep expectations in check. Made for a great game. Watching the Pats lose is always a quality time these days because it never happens so when it does, you gotta relish it. Soak it in, enjoy it.
That said I got a huge kick out of Seattle fans after that one, acting like it somehow made up for the heartbreak loss two years ago. As Pats fans yelled and posted pictures of Gronk and Kam basically wrestling each other and saying how Gronk was unfairly not flagged the Twelves (shudder) were laughing at the irony of them losing because they threw it from the 1 when they had LeGarrette “The name that launched a thousand pun headlines” Blount as a runningback. I even saw some cries of “SWEET REVENGE!”
Nah. Don’t get me wrong, beating the Pats in Foxboro is a worthy accomplishment, but a week 10 win ain’t shit to celebrate unless you’re the Browns. It certainly doesn’t make up for the still hilarious end of SB49 where the hearts and minds of newbie fans faced the harsh reality of sports for the first time as they realized this was real life, and in real life sometimes the bad men win. Because you’re stupid, and you call a risky slant pass to your tiny receiver who can’t outbox anyone and watch in horror as the DB makes a great play and you have to eat it the jokes forever, and ever, as you’ll always wonder what could have been if Darrell Bevel wasn’t a dipshit or what if Malcom Butler wasn’t there when he was or the thoughts that torment you for the rest of your sports fandom until you try desperately to push the thoughts away and move on with your life and sometimes you do but in the back of your mind you still scream WHY DIDN’T WE GIVE IT TO MARSHAWN
Yeah, this game made up for that. Plus side is that this is a very possible Super Bowl matchup preview, so you showed you can take them I guess.
I did like it when they sacked Brady and he sat pouting on the ground for like a minute like Gisele told him he couldn’t have a cookie.
Just can’t let us enjoy anything, can you Dave? Sigh…
only in 2016
just like 3-1 leads
Quick-slants in the Red Zone have a much higher chance of not-INT than Lynch had of scoring from the 1. He was something like 3-18 all season on it. He wasn’t a good goal-line runner, and the casual fans who think the Seahawks made the wrong call bring me delicious joy. Sometimes, the wrong call works. Sometimes, the right call doesn’t. The outcome of an event doesn’t determine the statistical validity of it.
Yes, but this isn’t about statistical probability. This is about all of us coming together as Americans and laughing at Seahawks fans.
Y’know, when you’re right, Will, you’re right. And you’re right.
Living in Washington, laughing at Seahawks fans is a vital curriculum of my self-defense.
Pats did run it though. Three times. The Hawks stopped them
Plus our pass was to our 6’6″ all pro tight end and not to Ricardo Lockette.
The play also wasn’t predicated on a 6’1″ receiver blocking out Brandon Browner and his 25-lb advantage…guy was one of the original members of the Legion of Boom, you KNOW how hard he is to block! WTF?
Dammit, now I’m mad again.
Hahahhahahahahhahahaahhaahhah
*begins to cry because I am a Steelers fan*
*Begins to cry again because NASCAR season is over
Also, Gronk PUNCTURED A LUNG and is only questionable for this week. Man or oral-sex-joke-making machine?
As a Seahawks fan I don’t understand the people saying it’s “vengeance”. Funny as hell yes. Make up for the Superbowl? Never ever ever. It is pretty sweet because I was fully expecting a loss and then that happened.
Yup, pretty much this.
I wouldn’t call Seattle disappointing at any point of this year so fa
*far
Not even the three games in which they scored 21 combined points and went 1-1-1?
Still was on a better pace then than they’ve been in 2014-15
Ha. Hahaha…hahahahahaha. It looks like a 3 in his tears… that’s Russell Wilson’s number! I like the Seahawks as much as I liked the pats. I hate the pats…mostly because of all the shady stuff they do and get away with.
Wish the Seahawks and Patriots could play each other every year, it’s such a damn good football game when they do.
As a Pat’s fan, I’m more concerned with the lack of ball security and the race for the 1 seed. Hopefully the AFC West tears each other apart.
I don’t understand the criticism of that play call. When the game is on the line, you go to your best players. That’s Brady and Gronk. They did and it didn’t work. That’s okay, sometimes things just don’t go your way. Imagine if they’d run it and Blount gets stuffed, people would be all “You have Brady and you choose to run it? Hahaha, you have a hall of fame quarterback and you run the ball? They deserve to lose.”
tom brady would never eat a cookie
His wife doesn’t even let the kids have candy. Does anyone honestly think she’s going to let tommy have a cookie..? Maybe after the divorce.
I’ll never forgive Bevell ever. Ever ever ever. This game didn’t change that.
It was pretty funny when Gronk begged for a flag after tackling Kam in the endzone though.
