plenzmd1 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Seahawks actually made me happy the Pats won. I guess i am old school, but while i hate the Pats , i do respect them. I have the exact opposite thoughts for the Seahawks. The only person that has any semblance of class on that Seahawk team is Wilson. Miraculously , Lynch might be next closest. The TD celebration, Sherman talking trash on Revis, the fight, justifying the fight afterwords.....and their fans seem to be just as classless as their team. Shame Wilson is so young as that team will always be competitive while he is there....but damn i want that team to go away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you've experienced the fair weathered-nature of the fanbase here, and the obnoxious lack of football knowledge, I wouldn't expect you to understand. You know how much **** I took for that fake punt when the Bills were down by like 30 points in the 4th quarter against Seattle a few years ago?

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 They both are terrible, so I can see why you could be swayed to the lesser of two evils. I found myself cheering against both teams at various points yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Gump Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 So you respect a team that has been caught cheating more than once? Makes a lot of sense!!! How anyone can respect the Pats** is far beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said, i know i am old...but to me winning , or losing , with class is not that hard. So you respect a team that has been caught cheating more than once? Makes a lot of sense!!!

hondo in seattle Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I live in Seattle. Until you've experienced the fair weathered-nature of the fanbase here, and the obnoxious lack of football knowledge, I wouldn't expect you to understand. You know how much **** I took for that fake punt when the Bills were down by like 30 points in the 4th quarter against Seattle a few years ago? I wanted both teams to lose this one... but I'm pretty happy with the outcome. It's hard to generalize about any fan base. I live in Seattle too and most the fans I know are both knowledgeable and classy. Certainly there are a number of people - often transplants from other parts of the country or world - who have jumped on the bandwagon since they started winning. But wouldn't that happen in Buffalo if the Bills started winning? Maybe you just hang out with the wrong people. I rooted for Seattle because (1) I wanted the tribe I live with to be happy, and (2) their opponents were the Pats who have already had more than their fair share of success. Sure, Sherman mocking Revis was sad, but do you really think any NFL roster of 53 players is replete with high character players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he was in shock as to the play call or what. But he was probably the classiest player on the field between both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Probably THE worst SB ever with respect to actively disliking both teams. I wasn't in any pools so this game was complete cardboard to me. I had no taste for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heels20X6 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Why does trash talking bother people so much? Some BS about "class" in a game that features barely educated monsters hitting each other as hard as they can.... Seattle was clearly the lesser of two evils. You'd have to be an idiot completely oblivious to the crap that the Pats have pulled over the years to sympathize with them. Having Vince "Go for the knees" Wilfork on your team is reason ENOUGH to hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackInDaDay Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Seahawks are a physical team that feeds off each other.. lots of trash talk and celebrating individual plays keep them up.. but to be fair to Sherman, i believe his flashing "2" "4" was pointing out his team's points, as he gestured to the scoreboard immediately after. this is one of the reasons i seem to be the minority of fans who think Collingsworth is a bad 'color' man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Season-ticket holder and die-hard and I wanted the Pats to win. A classless bunch on Seattle only confirmed my disdain for them. Do I hate the whining from Brady? Yep. Do I hate they're in our division? Yep. Am I wowed by how they are coached, how they game-plan, and how a constantly changing group of seemingly misfit parts always seem to work, hell yeah. And that's the part that gets me. They do what they CAN do with what they have, not do what hey WANT to. That's the genius of Belichek. There are a lot of HCs who refuse to adjust their systems to their talent level. They find players with some pretty great skills that everyone else overlooks... like Edelman... and incorporate it into the system. Instead of being focused on speed and height, they consistently take small, fast and quick-cutting WRs and use them more effectively than anyone. Sorry that they're in our division, sorry everyone hates Brady and Belichek and sorry you think they cheat every game ( think cheating, if that's what we're calling it, is way more widespread than anyone would want to believe). It doesn't, for me, take away from what I see between the lines and after Spygate and deflategate with a 37-year-old QB they won another Super Bowl. As a fan with a team bereft of coaching and QBs for 15+ years, I enjoy watching good football and will always root for winning with class over ignorance. Sadly, the NFL is a hypocritical cesspool where players get fined for classless garbage like feigning dropping your pants and taking a dump and grabbing your crotch but celebrates a-holes like Sherman's sideline act calling out Revis. Full national attention for this media-whore not matter what he does, no matter how classless. All that, I wanted the Packers over all of em anyway! Another classy group who does it right. Why does trash talking bother people so much? Well because we expect our kids to act with respect and class; and our coworkers; and society in general. I don't let me expectations down because it's football. What other sport is it both celebrated and accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
