I stayed the whole game, even stayed 15 minutes after the final fireworks went off with 23 seconds left to play. Dont hate.

My brother had a fuckin blast and was absolutely BLOWN away at the 12th man. He had no idea how real it really was. Was amazed at the amount of Seahawks gear being worn by the fans. Says that this is how real football fans get down.\

Fuckin A right it is.

  • Seattle finished the season allowing the fewest yards in team history, 4,274. The previous low was 4,378 by last year’s team. That equals roughly 6.5 yards per game — this year’s team allowed 267.1 yards per game and last year’s 273.6. The 4,274 yards allowed by the Seahawks is the fewest by any NFL team since the 2009 Jets allowed just 4,037. And it’s the fewest allowed by an NFC team since Dallas allowed just 4,056 in 2003.
  • Seattle allowed just 1,304 yards rushing, by far the fewest in team history. The previous low was 1,510 by the 2005 team, the franchise’s first Super Bowl team under coach Mike Holmgren. Seattle allowed just 3.4 yards per carry this season.
  • And as proof of the way the defense turned around at the end of the season, here are the amount of carries and the longest yard per carry in each of the last six games. The first number is the carries, the second the long run: 20/13, 18/12, 22/10, 32/28, 15/6, 19/13. So as you can see, in five of the six games the longest carry was 13 yards or less. The only game in which Seattle allowed a run of longer than 13 yards was in the home win over the 49ers when the 49ers had runs of 28 (Carlos Hyde) and 22 (Colin Kaepernick) but were pretty much stopped cold in the second half.
  • Seattle did not allow a touchdown in the last two-and-a-half games, or last 10 quarters, dating to a 10-yard run by San Francisco’s Frank Gore with 13:22 to go in the second quarter. The Seahawks then shut out the 49ers in the second half and Arizona and the Rams for an entire game. So that’s 133:22 without allowing a touchdown.
  • Seattle finished the season with 130 penalties, which despite all the talk on that topic was not a franchise record. That was set in 2011, when the Seahawks had 138. Okay, so still a Pete Carroll team It’s also only two more than the 1984 and 2013 teams, which are two of the most successful teams in franchise history. So, to break that down further, three of the top four penalized teams in Seattle history are also three of the four most successful teams in franchise history — the 1984 team won 12 games, as did this year’s team, while the 2005 squad had 13 wins. So Carroll has a point when he says that penalties and winning don’t really equate.
  • Russell Wilson finished with a passer rating of 95.0, the lowest of his career. His passer ratings his first two seasons were 100.0 and 101.2. The difference? Essentially that he threw for 20 TDs this year compared to 26 his first two seasons (the formula is heavily weighted toward rewarding touchdowns and penalizing interceptions). Wilson threw for the fewest picks of his career — seven — in what were by far his most attempts — 452. He had 10 interceptions in 393 attempts in 2012 and 26 in 407 last season.
  • Wilson finished with 849 yards rushing, sixth all time. He had only seven yards against the Rams, a season low, so he did not move up from where he was on the all-time rushing chart prior to the game. His previous low this season was 12 against Dallas. He’d had 106 in the first game against the Rams, so St. Louis did a better job in this game, though historically the Rams have been one of the teams that has done a really good job keeping him hemmed in and not allowing him to run.

It was from a bleacher report article 2012


I love our o line they're dominating the run block recently which is all that matters. We're #1 in rushing and the line deserves praise.

Did you know that the NFL pass leaders are collectively 0-49 in winning the superbowl? Why does everyone criticize our o line saying we need to replace them all for pass protection it makes zero sense to our team and its a proven failure of a strategy. Defense and running wins championships and we have the best defense and best oline for rushing in the league

How's everyone feeling about Carolina? Nervous? Confident etc?

Last three games have been very close low scoring games. Difference this time is it will be in Seattle. I expect a more comfortable victory this time, but still a defensive struggle. Nervous though because it's the playoffs and any thing can happen.
