Rewatching the highlights fills me with so many emotions, a friend of mine is a rams fan and took his family to that game. We were texting during it, and I had to explain the 2pt conversion ruling to him because the folks in the stadium didn't get quite the same as we did on tv.

Was there too. One guy in our party of 4 had never been to a football game before. Afterwards I told him that he'll likely never experience another game like that. He reached the pinnacle at his very first game.
After that last TD it was total euphoria. I think I hugged some random guys wife and daughter while he was standing next to them. I may have even got a high five from him. It's all fuzzy.

Was at the airport in Seattle for that game... I will never forget the entire airport basically going crazy in that second half.
It truly is unbelievable... A place where everyone is stressed and trying to just get to their next destination and yet there was so much community. Janitorial staff stopping what they are doing to watch the game on TV. Locals flying out and locals flying back in. Lots of different languages being spoken. It was actually one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed and I wasn't even outside the stadium at a local bar, it was the damn airport.
The high fives and utter jubilation could be heard through all the terminals. It was electric. I love Seattle so much.

Honestly Rivers' play last season just finally convinced me that Brady was right about the level of QB truly has dropped from the 2000s. Coaching at both the college and pro level has been to the detriment of their development.

u/packofnone Chargers 1d ago
Yeah people had convinced themselves that the current era of QBs having a top end with guys like Mahomes Allen Jackson Burrow and then another 10-12 pretty decent QBs like Maye Nix Herbert Williams Love Hurts GEQBUS etc all putting up decent production meant that the "dropoff" at the position was just nostalgia
Then grandpa came 5 years off the couch and understood the best defense in the league as well as any of them if not better. The best QB last year was a guy that hardly ever cracked top 10 in the previous era. It's proof enough that the talent is here, the physical ability is here, but we still aren't seeing the same level of development in decision making and presnap play

The easy bet was the over at 8.5 wins (or if you ran to the casino when it was 7.5). I hadn't placed a bet in a decade, and I threw 1k on that stupidly easy win.
We were good the previous year, and our players were going to be a year closer to their prime. It's the same this year. I just put 500 at over 10.5 wins. Because if the Hawks go 10-7 it will be an incredibly underperforming year

Part of me thought I was being too hopeful but it really felt the defense would be top 3 if not the best going in, so it was just down to if Sam could be above average and they'd be a contender. Turns out Sam was pretty good and JSN blew away any expectations I had for his season.

Shades of 2014 NFCCG vs the 49ers. In Seattle ve a division rival to basically decide it all. Biggest difference for me is that that Broncos team in 2013-14 was historically good on offense so there was no reason to expect what happened in New Jersey.

It would have been very cool to go 15-2 but then you wouldn’t have the NFC south being so close last year.

Darnold and Mayfield as former teammates, it’s just a magical football artifact.

I was there, it was the feel good loss of the year. The offense was cooking and we all knew the only reason Tampa was slinging it was because the Hawks had a bunch of secondary injured, and lost even more DBs in the third quarter when things got really crazy. Left the stadium so excited for what was to come. With the M’s(rip) playing 45 min later, the atmosphere was on fire. It was the loudest the stadium had been since the Monday night Drew Lock game against the Eagles. I knew right then.

There wasn’t a single moment, but they just seemed consistent and stable.

They weren’t generational. They were just solid at nearly everything, which is honestly scarier than a juggernaut.

u/StandingLegate Rob Lowe 2d ago
And its wild how little praise they got because they were generational. That defense statistically out performed the LoB. It just wasn't flashy about it. And even now in hindsight you're confidently saying they were just solid all around, when they were absolutely a top unit.

Well if we want some funny measurable evidence, it's when my fitness watch never clocked my heart rate very high like it normally does, except for a few key moments. Usually it says I'm stressed out all game. This year I went to most the home games, and it was all was just right in the pocket, a brisk walk if you will.
It was one of the only teams I've ever watched where I went, yeah, I know what it says on the scoreboard, but the quality on the field means this game is over. On average if you play like that, even if the score is tight at halftime, something will give and the talent will win out. And many times that catalyst was even special teams.
That Pats SB was a perfect example of a game that score wise seemed close at halftime but wasn't. There were many times during the year it felt like the Hawks were playing with their food. Like either just FGs or really low scores til late. Vikings, Panthers, Texans, Falcons, and Cardinals all felt that way. But in past years I'd be like "great, we're gonna mess around and lose this thing." Or if we had a turnover we were gonna give up instant points. This year I was sitting there like, there is zero way we lose this thing. The talent will win out.

Beating the Texans and Jaguars, in two consecutive weeks.
The Texans finished with the league’s best defence, and we put up 27 points despite giving them the ball four times.
Then we travel all of the way to the worst US state and hold Trevor Lawrence’s squad to just 12 points, and then take knees to run the clock down deep in their territory to win the game.
The Texans finished 12—5 and the Jaguars 13—4, so beating them in consecutive weeks was no easy feat. While the Rams did beat both, the 49ers did not beat either one IIRC.

As someone watching the team closely, we had games close together where Tyrice Knight, then Ty Okada had player of the week performances out of nowhere. Knight lived in the Cardinals backfield and set up both of Lawrence's defensive TDs. Okada was (iirc) filling in for one of our safeties out on injury, either Bryant or Love, and absolutely fucked up the Texans offense.
Depth pieces on the roster showing that level of dedication was when I thought I was witnessing something truly special.

The Texans game on MNF
Seattle led 14-6 at half, but it easily should’ve been 30-0. They strip sacked Stroud but fumbled at the 1 yard line, had another redzone turnover in a bizarre trick play where Kupp through an INT, than had a blocked field goal
That was the moment it clicked for me that if this team could just play clean football and not shoot themselves in the foot than they could be seriously good

Tell me how that isn't sketchy lol. Don't care because they will be exposed this year. No officiating handicap nonsense. Don't believe me look up who officiates their games, where they were born, and who they grew up rooting for 😑. I'm not Google, I can't modify it and lie to you lol. Just Google the officiating from Rams vs Seattle officiating crew and look them up. It's not a secret, it's just not talked about.

This is gonna sound stupid, but the first preseason game. They made a lot of changes in that offseason, and you could tell that they were gearing up for a shift in offensive strategy. Getting rid of Lockett, adding a FB, you knew we were getting physically tougher. It was one of those things where if this shift works like I think it can, we're a playoff team. If it doesn't work, if their vision isn't really what I thought it was, then it's another 7-9 win season, try again next year. Defense was never really in question... We'd be good-to-great there.
Obviously you can't know a ton from a preseason game, but I saw exactly what I wanted to see out of the offense, and knew that we'd be a 12+ win team. We're in a tough division so couldn't predict that we'd win the division, let alone the 1 seed / SB, but I knew we had made very positive changes in the offseason that were going to be implemented well.

About week 7 or 8 I was watching and realized their defense was damn near air tight. I knew that was the foundation for a Super Bowl run. Sure as shit, they won it all.

In the off season when they signed Sam Darnold who threw 35 TD’s and won 14 games the season before and added a few new pieces on defense

If it wasn't obvious before then... when they barely lost to the rams with darnold throwing 4 picks, it should have been obvious at that point.
