Since I was seven, I remember being a big seahawks fan. I saw Steve Largent's final game at home in 1989. It means the whole world to the state of washington as a whole. I just remember how agonizing it has been over the last 16 years to never be better than mediocore. I watched the team draft guys like Rick Mirer and other high picks that never amounted to anything.
Enter Mike Holmgren in 1999
Then, we drafted a guy in Shaun Alexander who ran behind Ricky waters in the final years of his career. Guys like Darrell Jackson, and Bobby Engram became guys who learned and could create big plays. Things slowly start to change.
in 2002 after being sat down in favor of Trent Dilfer, Matt Hasselbeck shows he's learning better what to achieve for the offense, earning the starting Job back
in 2003 The seahawks draft a buddy of mine Marcus Trufant
Defensively it's still suspect and we lose in the playoffs
In 2004 The team backs into the playoffs and loses on the final play of the wild card playoff game
In 2005 The entire defense is reshaped and 8 starters are let go. A young linebacker out of USC is drafted in the 2nd round Lofa Tatupu
The denfense is bend but don't break while the offense holds the title of best for 11 weeks.
In 2006 Seattle wins it's first playoff game in 21 years. Then, convincingly hammers the panthers into the ground winning the opportunity to go to the superbowl.
As a fan, it's just nice to finally be able to see seattle in the big game. Being a fan of Jerome Bettis, this couldn't be a more entertaining matchup. It's going to be good and any question of weather seattle could win against a good team was answered last night. Here's to the superbowl.
