LOL, look at this fuckin' guy. We'll be lucky to get back to the playoffs my dude. We made some good moves, but I don't think getting rid of Richard was one of them, and the coaching staff that we brought in doesn't look great. People seem happy with the draft, but if our O-line hasn't made huge improvements in the off season (LOL) it's still going to be Wilson running for his life every loving play. I mean, go Hawks, but let's be realistic.

I agree making the playoffs will likely take some fortune, but the OL is likely to improve substantially from last year.

Seattle replaced Cable, arguably the worst OL coach, with somebody who is not the worst OL coach.
They traded for Duane Brown, a great LT.
They have a bunch of young guys who are hitting years 2-4, right when they should be peaking.

It's not unreasonable to think the O-line could improve. Especially when they (before the Brown trade) were basically as bad as an OL could be. They had nowhere to go but up.

LWB knows nothing but undying devotion to the Seahawks. In his eyes they can do no wrong. They are the best an most perfect team ever.

My favorite 12th man memory is going to the Mariners opening day after the Seahawks won the Super Bowl, and it was filled with people wearing Seahawks jerseys. They were just there to watch Russell Wilson throw out the first pitch then a bunch of "SEA - HAWKS" chants started, then half the people left before the actual game started. They just wanted to see Russell and bought a ticket to a baseball game to do it.

Praying that Russ just ignores Schotty and delivers some caliente RWBS magic every play.

100% agree on Cable, glad to see him go. I was ambivalent on Bevell, but not sorry to see him go. I don't know if Schottenheimer is an improvement.

Hopefully Penny is good, but even if he is, we don't have a lot of receiving threats outside of Baldwin, so a good defense might be able to shut us down by selling out against the run, and hoping their secondary can shut down the passing game.

If we sneak in on a wildcard as #2 in the division, I'll be pretty happy.

It's mostly traffic and donut joints. Also there's a race track every local company takes their employees on outings so they can get drunk during work hours.

I was trying to go to sleep a few minutes ago and for some reason the enormity of these events finally hit me and I couldn't stop crying. I have no real life friends who give a poo poo about the NFL, so this is basically the only place I have to express these feelings, but I really feel the need to express them.

I would like this thread to be about our personal feelings about the 49ers signing Richard Sherman, and how it has personally affected us. Just TV-IVing about the details as they come in, or wondering about the Seahawks' future, and all of that bullshit has no place here. I need to write about my feelings about Richard Sherman. Obviously these posts will be mocked elsewhere on the forums, but gently caress em. If you feel the need to say anything, say it.

-----

Richard Sherman is a 49er. He killed the Legion of Boom. We will probably never know exactly what he was thinking. Obviously I did not know Richard Sherman. I never saw him in person and never spoke to him. But he represented something very special to me. In such a cut-throat, dirty, dark, often disgusting, business he was one of the good ones. When people talked poo poo about our secondary and the bastards involved in it, you could always point out Richard Sherman as the exception to the rule. He was the one you could point to as a true professional who honored the sport he loved, who was passionate about it, who proved that you could dedicate your life to being a shutdown corner without being insane or scum or a monster. He was the ace in the hole. He was the one who wasn't in it for the pussy or because he was a failed jock in another sport or because he wanted to get rich quick or because he wanted to be a movie star or because he saw football as a means to an end. He was in it for trolling Tom Brady. He was dedicated to being the best cornerback he could be, and it showed on the field.

I wanted to troll San Francisco since I was a little kid, and one of the very worst moments of my life was a cold night in the Castro district when I was on the phone to my girlfriend a thousand miles away and finally admitted to myself and to her that coming to San Francisco to get drunk in bars and make fun of 49ers fans was a bad idea. Coming to grips that I was simply not athletically or charismatically talented enough to be that guy was one of the worst moments of my life. The business glorifies the boyhood dreams that come true. My boyhood dream wasn't going to come true, and it was an upsetting, soul-crushing revelation that upsets and discourages me to this day.

Since then I lived vicariously through Richard Sherman in a lot of ways. He wasn't a man who was destined to be a Superbowl MVP. He couldn't play man. He wasn't charismatic in the usual way. He was loud. He was tall. The only thing he had going for him was his work ethic. He wasn't a third generation CB. He wasn't physically gifted. He wasn't someone who had words come easy to him. But through sheer effort he was able to become one of the greatest cornerbacks in history. By 40 years-old.

Richard Sherman was only forty, and he was already a legend on the verge of myth. That's how talented he was, and how respected.

I cannot reconcile in my mind that the man who unnecessarily gave back so much to the sport could end up in San Francisco the way he did. I can't understand how a man could spend weeks and months trying to give back to younger guys like Shaquille Griffin, putting forth the care and effort to help them find their voice on the field, and that that same man could don a red jersey only weeks later. It doesn't make sense. It shouldn't have happened this way. Not for him, not for Pete, and not for the LOB.

Richard Sherman owed me nothing. But I still feel the loss. I selfishly lived through many of his accomplishments and now feel lost. I can only speak for myself, but I feel that for a lot of us Sundays and Thursdays are rocks of stability in a storm of stress and uncertainty. Every week the show goes on. Every week the show is from somewhere new, somewhere in the world, but every week it comes into our homes.

And that will continue. But Richard Sherman is a 49er. And he will die a 49er. And whether it be insanity, drugs, or just the actions of a clear-eyed monster, what is done is done. And one of the pillars for the guys backfield and one of the pillars for fans is gone. And everything that pillar held up is tainted and dripping with red and gold.

Richard Sherman is a 49er. And I don't know how to accept that.
