Seahawks are done.

With the pre season! They are making the playoffs this year…KJ says so! And they will beat the Broncos week 1. Russ is going down! 
Bam! 

[BLI snowman]

Weird feeling when the Mariners are suddenly the best organization in the PNW. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

College football season has begun.

[Anti Marine Layer]

BEEP BEEP! Scam alert!

[TT-SEA]

538 has the Mariners at a >99% chance of making playoffs.    That seems too high.

They will likely have to face the Astros.

Seems a bit harsh for Oregon to get dropped out of the top 25 at number 11 after getting beaten by the defending champs. 

It was a bad beat, but should've still remain top 25 imo... at least 24 or 25.

They did not look like a top 25 team. Curious to see how they respond against E. Washington.

This is funny.

Sort of relaxing in a way... with zero expectations.    Any win will be a pleasant surprise.

It's fun to watch sports, but being a fan of any team is the definition of being a tool.

Ducks?

Yeah, I sort of root for them. I won't deny I watch/follow sports, and I hate that I do. It is a completely worthless pursuit.

Its just entertainment. But I also take it way too seriously at times.  You were expressing lots of frustration in the weather thread on Saturday when the Ducks were getting destroyed.  I think you more than 'sort of' root for them.   

And one mention of the Seahawks and you start complaining, but you made more than one Ducks post in there on Saturday.  And most of us care about the Ducks about as much as you care about the Seahawks.

Seahawks game next Monday could interfere with the first episode of the new Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy seasons.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Proof of the above speculation. 

 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Seahawks are in 1st place and they haven't even played a game yet!

[BLI snowman]

Mariners!!

[Deweydog]

Might have been the most bi-polar inning of Mariners baseball in franchise history. 

[MossMan]

This is awesome!

Let's take stock of sports in our family's sphere:

1. Son lost his football game yesterday

2. Twins have lost 6 of their past 7

3. Seahawks will probably lose in resounding fashion tonight

Luckily the Vikings handily beat GB yesterday. Otherwise, nothing but shortfalls to report. 

Fantastic weekend! Ram, Cards, 9’ers all embarrassed! Green Bay goes down! Cougs win a huge game, Dawgs win, the M’s have a huge weekend…Was amazing!! 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Godspeed Seahawks fans…

[MossMan]

Hahahaha!!! 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Geno Smith gunslinger lol.

[BLI snowman]

We're going to dominate!!

[MossMan]

If we only had a defense. 

[MossMan]

Okay Geno keep it going!

Wilson got boo'd by the crowd. Kind of surprising, but also not really cause it's Seattle and our fan base is kinda temperamental.

I think you'd see the same thing in any city, given the circumstances. Not a ton of comps, either.

[MossMan]

Looked like a bad spot by the officials. 

[MossMan]

We should have kicked the field goal. 

[MossMan]

Wilson is rattled. 

[TT-SEA]

Seattle looking gorgeous on the broadcast.   Glad the smoke is lifting.

[BLI snowman]

Man that Adams trade was a disaster....

It’s over.

17-0 to 0-17, just like that.

Losing our best defensive player in the first game...ugh.

[BLI snowman]

Let Geno Cook!!

[TT-SEA]

17 points in first half... better than waiting for Russ to start playing in the 3rd quarter as became the norm in recent years.

Questionable....he might not even be our best safety. Diggs was clearly better last season when healthy IMO.

Purely in coverage, yeah. But Adams is a great blitzer.

[MossMan]

I have screamed at the TV tonight (in a good way) more than I did all last season!

Would be nice if our safeties could catch the ball.

My 3yr old could have caught that. 

[MossMan]

Is it just me or did ESPN just go monotone? 

[Anti Marine Layer]

PC's team up at the half.

[Anti Marine Layer]

The team that scores the most points overall is not guaranteed the best record.

[Front Ranger]

 

[MossMan]

Wow! 

[MossMan]

Metcalf!!

Metcalf.

[Deweydog]

Been waiting MONTHS to post this gem here!
