Russell Wilson is the number 4 QB in the NFL over my beloved Tom Brady at 11. The Vikings game was hard fought by both teams, but the Seahawks beat Arizona 36 to 6 the previous week. Flukes? Not earned or deserved? How do you not earn 36 points?
I never said in ALL games. I was specifically talking about the SEA/MINN game this weekend - you don't WIN a game like that, the other team loses it for themselves. Yes, the end result is that you get the W...but it wasn't because you worked so hard to earn it.
Last year's SB - Seattle was again in the last seconds of a big game that they could have either won or lost depending on what the other team did, but the bottom line is that very few defenses can stop Brady in the 4th qtr. Seattle could have wrapped the game up by stopping the NE offense in the 4th and holding their 10-pt lead, but they couldn't. Came down to the last play again.
And the year before - Manning pretty much wrapped the win up in a big red bow and handed it to Seattle for the taking.** I'm sure the Seahawks were glad to have it.
I like Seattle - they are a solid, athletic, cutting edge team.
I just happen to like old-school traditional football better. (shrug)
