Something kind of odd occurred yesterday as I watched the SB. Going into the game, I didn't really care who won since I don't like or truly hate either team. I thought I'd prefer to see the Seahawks win because they're from the NFC and Wilson seems pretty classy. I don't like Belicheat and Brady is like a big baby when things don't go his way so I thought it would be better if they lost. Also, I didn't want the Pats getting their 4th (only 1 away from us).
Funny thing is, as the game started I found myself almost immediately rooting against the Seahawks. It was clear what my heart felt once the game began. All the reasons I mentioned above became meaningless once the ball was kicked off. Lol. When I looked at the Seahwaks, I saw a team that seemed to luck their way to the SB. Deep (or maybe not so deep) down, I felt like they took OUR spot in the SB. They had the same record as us and we beat them head to head yet they were the #1 seed. We had to play on wildcard weekend because a 3rd team had the same record. They were very fortunate that there was a 3rd team that negated our head-to-head tiebreaker over them. They got to rest a week then play the unimpressive Panthers. The team that they did not match up well with, and had already beaten them, pissed away opportunities (thanks again Murray and Hanna) and got royally screwed by the refs. It WAS a catch. Ugh..Then it took a series of bizarre events (including an onsides kick and a DB who went down instead of continuing to run after an INT) to beat the Packers. Their QB threw 4 picks and they won! Unreal. Against GB we're up by 8, cause a fumble on a kickoff and can't recover a fumble that goes right to our guy. Anyway, Seattle basically represented yet another NFC team that was no better than us that ended up in the SB (like the vagiants in '07 and others). It's just so sickening and frustrating. I didn't want to see Sherman and the others act like a bunch of jerks after winning the SB. As nice as Wilson seems, I was getting a little tired of his hype. The guy has a great defense and running game. He is asked to do very little and almost single-handedly lost the NFC championship. I'd had enough of that.
So, I ended up rooting against the Seahawks. Watching them throw their little tantrum at the end more than offset any disappointment I may have felt watching Belicheat win his 4th. Screw the Seahawks and everyone else. 2015 will be our year.
