I understand that there's already a football thread in the lifestyle forum, but I thought us fellow NWer's should celebrate. I've been a diehard Seahawks fan ever since I was a kid, so it's great to see them make it into the Super Bowl for the very first time. Definitely my happiest moment in Seattle sports history.

But what's with all this Seattle hate? Everyone's been doubting us ever since the playoffs started. They said the Panthers would win, but look what happened. When the Panthers got by Chicago's #1 defense, everyone gave them praise. But after Seattle obliberated the Panthers? ABSOLUTELY no respect...even after they won, people are already saying that the Steelers are going to win.

Anyhow, screw them...let's prove them all wrong. Seahawks all the way baby!

Well I'm not a fan of football, but its nice to see everyone else happy about it so its a good thing for me . Go Seahawks!

Terry Bradshaw said in the pregame show the steelers are gonna "wipe out either of these teams!"

Terry Bradshaw has never been known for his great decision making.

Yeah it kinda pisses me off how they're still not getting respect even though they've made it to the Superbowl and have the league's MVP on their team.

Derrr, they have no chance because they're SEATTLE!!!

What retards. ~_~;

Ya tell me about it. While i do think the Steelers are a good team, I think the Depth on the defensive line for the seahawks is gonna be the factor. The Steelers Rely on wearing the defensive line of the opponent down, but the seahawks have 4 quality guys they can rotate at DT and a good back DE in Joe Tafoya.

All The prelim talk says the hawks will get killed by the steelers because the seahawks struggled against the cowboys 3-4 defense. Look, the hawks had every receiver out for that game, jurvecious played a little but even he was hurt a good portion of that game. Now that they have the tandum of Jackson, engram, jurvecious, and stevens catching, they are money against the blitz. The steelers love to blitz, i think the hawks will give the steelers some huge problems.

yes, go SEAHAWKS! as a Baltimore fan, i want nothing more than for the Steelers to lose...as a football fan, out of all of the playoff teams this year, i wanted either the Broncos or Seahawks to win the Super Bowl

What he said kinda, I was rooting for the Panthers. But as a Ravens fan, nothing is sweeter than watching the Steelers lose and Cowher and Better crying like little bitches. Too bad I picked the Seahawks to make the Super Bowl LAST year, not this year...

A few things.....

I still don't the Seahawks are what they're cracked up to be, I still don't think they're the best team in the NFC. They had a SUPER easy schedule, which is not only easier on their players but gave them the best record, which in turn gave them a first round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. They have a HUGE advantage at home with their extremely loud crowd ("The 12th Man"). I'm not saying they're not good, because clearly they are, I just think because their schedule was so damn easy (by no fault of their own, they didn't choose to be in the same division with the 49ers, Rams and Cardinals) and they've been playing tired, injury riddled teams throughout the playoffs.

Second, the Steelers have been incredible throughout the playoffs beating three defenses who I would say are as good, if not better then the Seahawks defense. They've beaten the 3 best teams in the AFC all on the road, in a row

Third, this game isn't going to be in Seattle. It's going to be about as far away from Seattle as possible, which means there are probably going to be a lot more Steeler fans, which takes away that giant home field advantage the Seahawks rely so heavily upon.

Although I'm sure the Steelers are pretty tired they have two whole weeks to rest, and they aren't hampered by any big injuries like the Redskins or Panthers were.

Should be a good game, but I really think the Steelers will win, they're playing some amazing football on the road, and no one deserves it more then the bus.

Why are you even in here!!?!?!? ^^;;; This thread is for hawk fans (thus the Northwest). Go away!! Shoo!

Lousy non-northwesterners butting into our thread >.>

Steelers!!!!

And now, a public service announcement from the City of Cleveland:

the Steelers. Go Seahawks.

Thank you.

Best sig evar. Kurt Angle rules

Win or lose, I'll still be very proud of my Hawks this season. At least they were able to go over the hump they've been in for years. Anyhow, I hope the Steelers get owned!

go hawks!! I've been waiting for this my whole life... THE HAWKS IN THE SUPERBOWL?!?!
Still can't believe it! AND it's going to be a great game. The whole country is gonna pull for the steelers and Bettis' "coming home" story line. That's great, I love it. Keep focusing on that and let the hawks D sneak up on Big Ben.

Hawks win the turnover battle +2 and hence the game 28-17.

I think it will be a good game. The Steelers have a tough defense with a jarring blitz, but Seattle's D is no slouch, either. Both teams' offenses can go, though I might give an edge to Seattle here. I really hope the Seahawks can pull off their first ever Superbowl appearance with a big win, but even if they don't, it's great to see them finally get there.

For goodness sake Bil you are still underrating the seahawks? I could see the basis of your argument IF the seahawks only won by like 3 against the panthers. But they won by alot more didnt they? Face it, its time to fess up and give them SOME respect already. I respect your redskins for what they did this year. They put together an amazing end of the season run to make it to the second round.

Oh and based on this argmument, if theres a lot more steeler fans, that means its a free home game for them. They've been raining the wins in on the road, but since the superbowl will be a free home game, and the steelers arent as good at home. They'll lose then wont they?

Well I'm a Bengals fan and I don't think they even would have beat us if they didnt do that cheap hit on Palmer. The ball was 60+ yards downfield before Carson was hit. We had Kitna in and still only lost by 14... if Palmer had played the whole game, the Steelers may very well have been sitting at home the very next week. That Van Olhofen(spelling?) guy should get the MVP award for the Steelers, after all he pretty much stamped their ticket to the divisional game.

I grew up in the northwest (Tacoma/Lakewood), and I'm in Chicago now, but I am so excited to see the Super Bowl this year. After all those years of being the laughing stock of the NFL...and then the "so-so" years...and the past couple years where we have been good, but not quite good enough...FINALLY they are one step away from winning it all! Skins boy can disrespect them all he wants; he is just mad because his team will be watching the game on TV just like the rest of us. I wish I could be in Pioneer Square on Feb. 5th; it will be INSANE! GO HAWKS!
