Since it worked they look like geniuses.

(60,686 posts)The coach said he was supposed to run around in the end zone then go out for a safety. We would have still been up two scores and free kicking from the 20, so that risk wasn't that great. Nobody goes for the block down there, or at least hardly ever. Most teams go for the return. So, no rush, Dickson got to the edge, saw his opening and went for it.
First down, and we kill the clock.
Hey, he's an Aussie Rules football guy, he's not afraid to take a hit.

(60,686 posts)I've heard that NFL fans don't really hate a team until they are successful, so thanks.

(28,601 posts)I have never ever seen a more obnoxious fan base than Seattle's. Ever. To top it off, they are the worst bandwagon jumpers of all time. They almost lost the team, now everyone is suddenly a "twelve".

(60,686 posts)I've heard worse said about other teams, but hey, I don't travel to road games.
And the whole "almost lost the team" thing was many years ago. We're celebrating the life and passing of the guy who helped keep the team here today. Paul Allen. He passed a little over a week ago.
I guess after this morning's game you'll be in an even worse mood, eh?

(28,601 posts)I get that Paul Allen was a good owner, but I will never root for the Hawks. I even went to the Save Our Seahawks rally back in the day because I wanted the NFL to stay on Seattle. I put money on a little plastic bucket and there were so few people there they gave me three yard signs that I had to take home on the bus. Nobody I know went to that rally, but the way they act now makes it clear that they only like the team because they had success.
