The Seattle Seahawks

To hell with dating again, my Seattle Seahawks are 12-2. Before I catch any grief, they were "my" Seattle Seahawks from the first exhibition game of their inaugural season through their 2-14 debacle under Tom Flores and through the Ken Behring years and on through the Super Bowl team of 2005 and "Referee Gate". They beat the New York Giants today 23-0 and intercepted Eli Manning five times. This years Seahawks do not win with flash even though they are known throughout the league for talking a good game. They are just rock solid on offense and defense. They win because they are solid in all three phases of the game-offense, defense, and special teams. Cornerback Richard Sherman is the voice of the defense and Safety Earl Thomas has garnered talk of Defensive MVP honors. They don't have anyone on the Defensive line that is near the league lead in sacks or any other category but they know have to get after the Quarterback. Russell Wilson is the Captain of the Offense and when Marshawn Lynch, is in full "Beast Mode", all the Seahawks have to do is put it in cruise mode. They won't have any 1,000 yard receivers and Russell Wilson will barely have 3,000 yards (Marshawn lynch already has 1,000 yards rushing) but they just win. Securing homefield throughout the playoffs is an important step on the road to the Super Bowl. If I could find a woman that is a Seahawks fan, life would be close to perfect.
