1. Woot!!!!

Recent Seahawk fan here, when Russell joined the team. He went to high school about a mile from my house so we've followed him since then. So excited!!

[lovemydog]

2. They looked great today.

The Seahawks are fun to watch. Raw speed & athleticism. Plus I love their glow in the dark uniforms.

[Frank Cannon]

3. All the way, baby!

That was some ensemble football tonight. Everyone was just freaking amazing. It was like a Seahawks highlight reel.

Have to give Carolina credit, though, for hanging in there like they did.

[nolabear]

4. They did. Love seeing a good matchup.

I never did get genuinely disparaging another team (as opposed to innocent ranking). What's the honor in beating a bad team?

[Frank Cannon]

5. I agree completely. I was afraid it was going to be a blowout.

And the Hawks needed somewhat of a challenge to stay at the level they're going to need to be at for Green Bay/Dallas next week.

So here's to you, Panther fans. Better luck next year.

6. As a Packer fan, I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO SEATTLE.....

and that's if they win against the cowpies. So....... let's just let the game play out, and possibly, the Packers will win, and travel on. *gulp* GO PACK GO.

[easychoice]

8. It's warm here compared to Green Bay.

Just think you can go over to Alki Point,Get fish and chips at Spuds and feed the seagulls.What could be more fun? Maybe the tide will go out over there on the point and you will find out why we call it "Pungent Sound".

The Seahawks were Brill tonight.The Packers are gonna be packin

[a kennedy]

10. Ah, you're new here aren't ya?.........

So we'll just see, GO PACK GO. and they do have to get by the cowpies so...... I'm not going to say a word about what happens after tomorrow at noon CST. :

[easychoice]

20. new here,lmao

Welp! We will see ya when ya get here,lol.
The SEAHAWKS are gonna beat the Packers like a rented mule...
Get ready for it!
You can go to Spuds and eat away your depression afterwords,lmao.

[jmowreader]

13. Oh man, I freakin' LOVE Spuds!

Last April I went to Alki Point to photograph the lighthouse; Spuds was there and I figured I'd have lunch there...oh man, they need about twelve branches.

[easychoice]

19. Ladies and Gentlemen we have a winner!!!

Great Eats!

[Wounded Bear]

7. GO HAWKS!!!!

And congrats to Carolina. They played a heluva game, but our Hawks were on tonight and not to be denied.

The good thing (for the Seahawks, anyway) is that neither GB nor Dallas have as good of a defense as the Panthers this year. And, we're 8-0 at home in the playoffs in the Pete Carroll era.

[Suich]

9. I just had a horrible thought!

If the Cowboys end up coming here next weekend, are they going to bring Chris Christie with them?

Ugh!

[Half-Century Man]

11. Think about it.

According to the press. both Scott Walker and Chris Christie will be at Lambeau Field. Two extremely bad choices for President at the same place at the same time, the bully and the buffoon rooting for opposing teams.

[Suich]

12. LOL!

You make a good point!

[jmowreader]

14. That would be entertaining to say the least

The first time Kam Chancellor flattens Aaron Rodgers...

[nolabear]

17. We can only hope. Maybe he'll go stone deaf.

[raven mad]

15. !!!

[WolverineDG]

16. I have a friend who roots for Denver

that was an awkward Sunday on FB last year.... If that's the match up this year, I will ask her if Denver plans to show up this time.

Great game! Love the Hawks! They're so much fun to root for---the players, the fans, the whole city just gets into it...Like San Antonio does the Spurs. (GSG)

[mythology]

18. I have no respect at all for the Seahawks

Many of their star players have been busted for performance enhancing drugs, Richard Sherman is a loud-mouth braggart who isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is (which is why he had to take performance enhancing drugs), their coach blatantly cheated when he was coaching in college and their star running back is a classless buffoon both on the field and when talking to the media.

There is nothing about the team I find redeemable.

Sadly there are relatively few teams in sports that I find represent what sports should. Honest competition, being decent people who don't feel the need to insult or belittle everybody else. Fortunately there are the Packers and the Colts left in the playoffs. Both teams are by in large what I look for. Yes the Colts have Robert Mathis, but he hasn't played all season.

[easychoice]

21. want some cheese with that whine?

Or are you just going to attack me now for laughing at your little epistle?

[nolabear]

25. I thought long and hard about responding, and decided it wasn't a battle to fight.

But I'll happily watch you be my champion.

[easychoice]

29. LMAO,Too hilarious

all pro athletes are beneath some of us.

[Frank Cannon]

22. Sherman leads the NFL in interceptions & pass defenses.

And if you're looking to back a professional sports team that hasn't dabbled in performance-enhancing drugs...well, good luck with that. There might be a Norwegian Fly Fishing team you could get behind.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

31. You might feel differently if you lived in Seattle

or the nearby 'burbs as I do. The great Dizzy Dean once said 'it ain't braggin' if you can do it' and the star running back is anything but a classless buffoon. Not all ball players can be glib and charming to a face full of microphones.

[KamaAina]

23. SeaCHICKENS!

Go Pack!

[nolabear]

26. Pfththfthfthtftthhh!!!

[OriginalGeek]

24. Well my team is done

So if nolabear wants the Seahawks to win then that's who I'm cheering for.

[Lars39]

27. *Totally* off topic....

but I owe you a huge thank you for posting that Preservation Hall Jazz Band w/ Tom Waits - "Tootie Ma Is A Big Fine Thing" video!!!!
Been exploring the PHJB music ever since, passing videos on to nephews who desperately need good music. And of course gaining ear worms I can't and don't want to shake. Thank You, nolabear!

[nolabear]

28. Oh you're welcome! I may be in Seattle but I'm always homesick for NOLA.

I jokingly told my son, who's getting married this summer, that I wanted his kids to call me Tootie Ma instead of Grandma and he thought I'd lost my mind. But you know the more I think about it the more I like it!

You might look at New Orleans street musicians on YouTube too. There is some just outstanding talent busking those streets. I'm always impressed.

Oh, and they just released the Jazzfest lineup. O.M.G.

[Lars39]

30. lol...I could just hear a little voice saying Tootie Ma, I'm hongry.

Going to Jazzfest is definitely on my bucket list.

One of my favorite songs is comprised of street performers

32. TOUCHDOWN celebration lol
