My name is Bubba Joe, and I am a Seahawk Fan...
"Hello Bubba Joe"
I live in Arizona and am a Seahawks fan. I know there are laws, but I don’t care. I was born and raised in a state that actually had four real seasons, (not hot, hotter, “OMFG Make it Stop!”, and monsoon like we get in AZ) and I grew up loving the Seahawks. I remember the good years (all 4 of them growing up) and I even loved watching them get pummeled on TV. I can’t explain it, but they have been my favorite team since I can remember, and my parents tell me that it goes well beyond my first memories.
So now that the Seahawks finally have a chance to do some damage in the playoffs, I am really excited to watch them every week. Thank God that there are no other interesting teams in the NFC to watch, so as a default I get to watch the Seahawks more often (even though I live in AZ). The only think that could make this season better is if the GM would get off his sorry arse and finally SIGN SHAWN ALEXANDER! I mean, I think Hasselbeck is a great QB and we all know that Walter Jones is the greatest LT in the game at the moment, but Shawn makes them all better so for the love of all things holy, SIGN HIM!!!
At any rate the Seahawks control their own destiny in the NFC. They hold all the tie breakers against all the currently threatening NFC opponents. Summary of their information is below (yes I am a math nerd):
Magic Number to win the NFC West: 7 (Rams)
- If they win this week this drops to 4.
Magic Number to earn a first round bye: 8 (Atlanta) or 9 (Carolina, NY Giants)
Magic Number to have home field advantage: 9 (Carolina, NY Giants)
Now my boys play the Giants in Seattle in a few weeks, so that helps them greatly. Additionally if Seattle and Carolina win out, Seattle wins the HFA because of the 4th tiebreaker.
What else can a Seahawk fan wish for? We control our own destiny, and life is good.
Game On!
