I don't know if it has ever been more exciting to be a fan of the Seattle Seahawks. Surely there has never been so much hype surrounding Seattle heading into the season. The Legion of Boom is poised to lay the smack down for one of the best defenses in football. The coach is cool. The running back could plow through a brick wall if he so desired, and the quarterback looks totally legit. Yes, the future is bright. This isn't a team that is built to win now, either--this is a time that is built to win for a while.
The NFL frequently defies expectations, and as with anything, there are no guarantees. Regardless, I can't wait for Week 1. Did I mention that my wife and are I going to be in Charlotte to watch the Panthers get smacked around in 11 days?
My prediction: Seattle has all the tools. I think they'll win their division, and they should definitely make the playoffs. The division crown could go to San Fran, another stellar unit, and I'm not sleeping on any of the teams in the NFC West (remember when they used to call it the NFC Worst?), but this 12th man is stoked.
Go Hawks!

Oh Glorious Sunday!
It's Sunday evening, and even though it got dark way too early I'm sporting a smile thanks to sports.
Yes, I'm a Seattle Seahawks fan, and the Beast and the rook both played well.
Wilson continued his effective rookie campaign by completing 16 out of 24 passes for 173 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions. He added 27 yards on the ground and was only sacked once.
Marshawn contributed 124 yards on 26 carries with a single score, and he also caught 2 passes for 26 yards.
The Seahawks defeated the Vikings at home to move to 5-4.
After nearly three decades of rooting for Seattle, I've really learned to cherish every victory, so I would be on cloud nine right now anyway, but it gets better.
I've got Doug Martin on my fantasy team.
He's just some rookie who carried the ball 25 times for 251 yards and 4 touchdowns. He probably scored more points than some of the teams in my league managed this week. Well, maybe not, but the kid went off and I should certainly win my game as a result. I'll keep you in the loop.
Now, it's time to settle back, watch a few highlights, and then . . .
