Despite the other issues with Denver's offense he had a 1300 yard season and looked fine, I thought. Just terrible the last 2 games.

honestly i didn't watch football much this year, but sometimes i'd flip it over to a sunday night game or whatever, and nearly every time it would cut to D thomas dropping a pass that hits him right in the numbers

GUM CHEWING INTENSIFIES

Zorodius posted:

So, seems certain Seattleites celebrate serendipitous stallion success

But where's the logic in that? If you get beat, you want the guy that beats you to be the world loving champion, because it implies you could be second best.

You don't wanna get beat by a guy and then see him falling down stairs, that's just embarrassing

I wanted to answer this question more in-depth here.

I became a Seattle fan not after Super Bowl 48 but Super Bowl 49-after seeing their humiliating defeat against the Patriots because of that terrible play and interception at the last second. It was a heart breaker, but I fell in love with how well they played. It also helps that Seattle is a city where a lot of what I love originated from (Hendrix, Cobain, Pearl Jam, Neuromancer and the Cyberpunk genre, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Starbucks). This was the first football season I've ever followed and following the Hawks was amazing, especially in week 17 when I won a hoodie off a bet-that was the moment where I became both a member and believer of the 12s.

To see Cam Newton run us over in the divisional round was one thing. To see him do so when it was clear that his team was over-depending on him was another. What really made me salty, and boy howdy was I full of :salt:, was the simple fact that he compared himself to Superman. How he kept wearing Superman shirts and also how his home field played the John Williams theme. This became nerd rage, and I wanted to see Batman beat Superman. Russel Wilson wasn't Batman and going into this game I was hoping Peyton would be. It turned out Von Miller was the Dark Knight, as he was sacking and pressuring Cam was glorious. This little internal narrative of mine was helped by the constant ad presence for Batman V Superman.

Congrats, Broncos and Von Miller. Congrats for avenging us. Here's looking forward to my team's 40th season :hawksin:

PS: If you're reading Febreeze, I'd like to see a comic where Cam Newton as Superman has the MVP sack-stripped from him by Von Miller as Batman.

He did, but still caught enough to have 100+ receptions and 1300+ yards. He's had various finger issues but no matter what his postseason was abysmal.

I became a fan of the Baltimore Ravens in 2011. The way they played so hard but lost in a teeth-clencher in the AFCCG just got me so intrigued to follow them. To me, they were like Goku who had just gotten beaten up after that whole Captain Ginyu debacle. The 2012 season was the Ravens (as Goku) just not wanting to take it anymore and they went Super Saiyan. They almost lost to Denver and this angered me, because Denver was Dodoria, and boy howdy I wanted Frieza (Tom Brady).

I think I'm broken. I'm not upset at all. Perhaps it's just a summer full of steeling myself for a season where the best case scenario was a first round playoff exit. Maybe it's the fact that we dominated so many good teams that it's hard seeing a scenario where we aren't back soon. Maybe I'm just happy that I got to care for a full football season and now I'm tired. But whatever the case, it doesn't hurt.
