Seattle sports drop off the edge of the abyss

They lost on Friday thanks to their craptacular secondary 27-20. So they are in 4th place but still have a playoff berth in their control.

No one wants to say it, but any city on the West Coast not named Los Angeles is not a sports city. The West Coast (outside of LA) is not a sports kind of place.

It's fact. That, and the teams suck.

Los Angeles isn't a sports city...where's there football team?

LA is hardly a sports city. Those Celebs are the biggest bunch of front runners ever! I guarantee that if there were 3 straight seasons where the Lakers missed the playoffs and the Clippers made the playoffs then Jack would switch is his season tickets over. I'll give SF/"Bay Area" credit for being the best sports town on the West Coast.

*their

Al Davis couldn't make up his friggin mind. ; - )

LA does have (AFL) LA Avengers

lol, the Bears went to the SB that year. Not saying Grossman was great by any means, but it was a good team.

If you take solace in getting beat by the team that got beat by another team even though said first team didn't really have any business being there, than by all means... "lol" it up...now, I have a basketball team to watch, cya...

oh low blow, with the Basketball game comment. So did the Ravens not deserve to be in the SB they won? Just because a team has a crappy QB, does not mean they did not deserve to be there. Why am I defending Da Bears? My point was, 9-7 division winner has just as good a chance in the playoffs as 13-3 does.

you're not familiar with the bye week?

LA's football team is USC.

yeah I am familiar with bye week. That did not matter for the Steelers, or the Giants.

But it did matter for the Patriots (twice), Ravens, Colts, Buccaneers, etc...

Significantly more teams win with the bye than not...

Why am I arguing...the bears are who we thought they were...

how may times did the COLTS blow it after the bye week, before breaking through? Every year, a team coming off a bye loses. (see COLTS, and COWBOYS Last year)

that's because there's another team with a bye, genius...

Not my point. point is, the BYE does not guarantee anything.

One problem with your comment:

How many made the playoffs? And trust me, Seattle won't make the playoffs.

True, but all those teams were still better.

define better...

do you want me to support you in your lamentation of how shitty your teams are...

I've been there...it doesn't help

Ahh, just noticed, a Philly fan. You know exactly where I am. At least you have the Phillies this year. Hopefully Moyer can dazzle the Dodgers tonight. For the last several years, Seattle & Philly fans have always had at least one team close to the top. Seattle fans really have no where to go, no crutch this year. It is possible the SEAHAWKS can turn it around, but if Hasselbeck is out for any extended period of time, it will be unlikely.

its cyclical...

I wouldn't be too wary of the seahawks...no pain, no gain...let your terrible in game coach slog away at an injury riddled season before he leaves and you can start a new regime with a pretty good base and a nice top 10 pick...

Besides, would you rather make the playoffs as a 9-7 sacrificial lamb?

I wouldn't be too wary of the Eagles...no pain, no gain...let your terrible in game coach slog away at an injury riddled season before he leaves for family issues and you can start a new regime with a pretty good base and a nice top 10 pick...

touche... Hey 9-7 in the NFC west is like 3-13 in the NFC East

Besides, the eagles get Atlanta, San Fran and Seattle... We're about to be conned into believing by virtue of a 5-3 or 4-4 record...

So the Rams are on pace for less than 0 wins I guess?

yeah, they'd lose 8...maybe 10 games in the division...

IDK- 9-7 might win the NFC West this year, and like in 2006 when everybody got hurt, everybody got healthy in time to Romo the COWBOYS, and took Da Bears to OT. So I would not say sacrificial lambs.

Just think about what you said... I think I made my point ; - )

Funnily enough, the Rams are winning in Washington.

maybe I misunderstood your first point, but I am lost? How does you saying the HAWKS coach sucks, and at least they will have a top 10 pick, have anything to do with what I said?

The seahawks aren't a bad team

They don't have A healthy receiver...their QB is hurt, the defense is injury riddled, they play in a weak division

Holmgren is not an ideal coach anymore and he's pretty much gone after this season. I'm sure seahawks fans are fine with this.

But if the Seahawks go 3-14, 4-12, or even 6-10, they should get a nice pick and since they're a good team, they should be capable of turning it around and winning the west next year...maybe even at 12-4 (coach pending of course).

Denver did this...and they got Jay Cutler...now look at them.

Its the nature of salary cap sports...bad teams get good picks, get rid of shitty old players, sign new good ones, draft other good players, and bam they're good again...

The seahawks have a chance to minimize the crappy time and be good again...

and as far as the 2006 Seahawks...beating a Romo-led cowboys in the playoffs and going to OT with any bears team this decade hardly means they're good... Come on now...bobble boy and Rex Grossman...really?

Sorry a team in a city full of Championships does not count IMO. how many times did the Cubs go to the World Series? Not winning it in a 100yrs is one thing. Never getting there is another. The BULLS kept the SONICS from winning in '96. Controversy kept the SEAHAWKS from winning the SB in '05. Da BEARS kept the SEAHAWKS from going to the SB back to back, (IMO)in '06. The MARINERS have "NEVER" been.

Wow so what happened to your sense of humor? Did that drop off too?

no, he's right Chicago is clearly better than Seattle...

I give up
