R.I.P Tavaris Jackson. For those who dont know, in April 12th 2020, Tavaris Jackson swerved off a roadway into a tree with his 2012 Camaro. In his career he had over 7,000 passing yards a superbowl ring and 39 passing touchdowns. In his time he played for the Minnesota Vikings from 2006-2010 and then the Seattle Seahawks from 2011-2015. He was 6,2 225lbs and ran a 4.69 40 yard dash at the NFL Combine. I hope in wherever afterlife he believes in, Tavaris D'andre Jackson lies happy. We Seahawks fans give you respect for wearing the same number as geno smith. It also hurts me that I was the only one to mention his sad death.
Hate to be this guy but maybe he shouldn't have been doing 70 in a 30 mph zone. Makes you wonder if he might still be alive if he wasn't driving recklessly and putting himself and every other driver on the road in danger.
@@christianalexander579actually yes it does. It doesn’t change them overnight, but when people look back on how a team at the top fell off, it’s usually a starting point. Many people will look to Super Bowl 49 as the fall of the Seahawks. They’ve been good but never reached that peak greatness again.
Even though they didn’t turn out to be a dynasty, they certainly felt like one in the making. From 2012-2014 the Seahawks felt like the NFCs version of the Patriots. They almost always seemed to find a way to win big games… until Malcom Butler happened.
Yep. If Butler had that i terception jostled out of his hands and the Seahawks get another chance, 2015 would have gone very differently (likely no Jimmy Graham which means C Red Bryant stays; maybe no Marshawn retirement; maybe they again beat the Panthers and the Broncos for another championship).
Those Seahawks were very similar to the Chiefs of today in my opinion. I’ve spent a lot of games watching, wanting those teams to lose. Young Russ was similar to Mahomes in the way that he’d always find a way to escape the sack on 3rd down and keep the chains moving. Their victory almost felt inevitable.
Believe it or not, the game that really was the driving force between the locker room divide was the NFC Championship. The Pro Russ/Anti Russ locker room thing you mention earlier dates back to even before the 2014 season. Despite Russ playing the worst game of his career, multiple players came out and said Pete went out of his way to praise him and give him a ton of credit for the win, despite the LOB holding the packers to 16 points on 4 red zone trips (3 of which were off of Wilson INTs). The Super Bowl ending really was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Wilson and Kearse sucked so bad that day, until they didn't. But it was Marshawn Lynch on offense and the defense who kept the game close enough to still have a shot at the end. But yeah, couple that with the super bowl debacle at the end, and I can see how players lost their faith in Carroll.
As a 9er fan, I have nothing but respect for the Seahawks during this time. They were great villains, in our eyes, and we had some epic games. Looking forward to their Hall of Fame speeches. Great video bro.

We had arguably one if not the greatest teams ever seen. Not many teams can/ have experienced that. What goes ip must come down eventually but when when we were up we were an untouched level. You cant ask for much more than that.

Fun Fact: The Seahawks made it to back2back Superbowls, when Russell Wilson was on a Rookie-Contract. Once they started paying him like a superstar, they won two Wildcard games in 6 years. But hey, that is Denver's problem now. But it is just amazing, how decent to good Quarterbacks like Wilson actually cripple your ability to compete for a championship, once you pay them... yet everybody always pays them.
@@tastelesstube The great ones do this, of course. Paying Mahomes, whatever he demands, is worth it. But there are so many decent QBs that are actually overpaid. Let's look at the example I follow the closest: The Vikings were in the NFC Championship Game with their Back Up QB Case Keenum. They then invested big to get Kirk Cousins, who is decent... and won 1 Play Off Game in 5 years. Everyone was like "Let's throw 24 Million a year at Cousins, that will bring us back to the Superbowl after an eternity." No one was like "Let's pay Keenum half of that and invest into the skill group..." Can you build a Superbowl Contender around Cousins? If you pay him 12-15 Millions a year, you could. But you can't get Cousins at that price tag, so the answer is No. On the other hand, look at the 49ers skill group and how good they look, while playing Mr. Irrelevant at Quarterback. They can afford that group, because their Quarterbacks 7 Millions. All of them combined. Once they sign Prudy to an extension, they will have to let a lot of guys walk...
@PassivesAbseits But Russell Wilson won a Super Bowl and went right back to another that was there for the taken. Then they took away his line and key defenders were hurt. But he still played well. Aaron Rodhers went to one, but never again, but he played well. Nick Foles won, got paid and is gone. The fact is that it is not easy getting to the Super Bowl no matter how much you're getting paid. That's why the smart ones like Troy Aikman and Tom Brady were willing to give up a lil money. They weren't satisfied with one Super Bowl. Look at Drew Brees, Dan Marino. Phillip Rivers, and Dan Fouts.
he wasnt the only one that showed up with a big receipt. a lot of the defense all ended up getting massive contracts.... which they somewhat deserved, but for every one of them over performing their competition, it made it impossible to keep everyone and fill other needs later down the road. the crazy shit with Wilson just makes it all even more wacky that worked as long as it did.
@@vissermatt1058 Ture. And that is one of the core problems of especially the NFL, but US Sports in general, we Europeans will never understand: Why do you punish teams, that draft and develope well? Because by design, you can't keep that team together. Which gives every team a 4-5 year cycle to win the Superbowl at best. After that, the players are too expensive to build a decent roster. Even the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes seem to fall into this trap. But the ugly truth is also, that Earl Thomas had to hold out, because the Seahawks refused to pay him. He then broke his leg in what was his last game. Earl Thomas has earned 79 Million Dollars in his career. Willson is scheduled to make 477 Million. 182 as a Seahawk. Cam Chancellor, Richard Shermann and Earl Thomas got a combined 175. Imagine paying Wilson 2/3 or half of that money and spending the rest on great players.... But since every QB contract has to break the previous record, that is an impossible thought... except for Tom Brady and the Patriots, who refused to play this game. Brady also won so many Superbowls, because he was willing to take massive pay cuts. Smart man.
I remember Matt Flynn from 2013 when Rodgers missed half the season with a broken collar bone. He actually had a pretty good stretch including a comeback win down 26-3 against the cowboys.
It was a fun ride in the Northwest in the 2010s for Seahawk fans. This video is a great summary of the overall story. But I guess I don't look at at the "what ifs" so much as Seattle played the weirdest brand of football for nearly a decade. There were even articles about how they just seemed incapable of ever playing a normal game, with so many going down to the last drive or whatever. It was fun, exciting, heart-attacking inducing and rarely boring. We watch football for entertainment, at its core. Seahawk fans were always entertained, even if some of it was painful. My theory is that their insane, miracle comeback against Green Bay in the NFC championship game used up all their luck. That's still the most incredible few minutes of football ever. Wilson went from playing his worst game ever to his best. Meanwhile, Marshawn Lynch kept it together. It also helps Mike McCarthy was a timid man that day. This new version of the Seahawks might have their own championship run in them soon. But I'm not sure they'll ever be the same wacky bunch of characters as the mid 2010s Seahawks. They were legendary. And we'll always treasure that thumping of Peyton Manning. As a fan, I'm satisfied.
From a Seahawks fan, I think that the 2010's teams should be considered very good as a group. They won one championship, and with less friction and better execution in some spots, they may have won more. But they were a strong, consistent playoff team for the better part of a decade, and there's no shame in that. As for the team of late, we'll see how far they can go. I heard Geno Smith didn't do that great in the second half of the year, but with the latest draft pick, we should have an improved defense. As for Russell Wilson, looking back he was more of a solid game manager in 2013 and arguably 14 as well with the defense and running game obviously being the better components (possibly one of the last teams with that kind of a setup to win a title), but credit him for being a key player, and more of a significant factor on the playoff teams after that. After reading the last part of your comment, I'm glad I'm not the only one who looks back and enjoys the championship we actually got. I hear a lot of people complain that Super Bowl 40 was rigged, and a lot of people complain that we threw the ball on the one yard line, and I see relatively few people looking back and appreciating the championship we actually got.
@@fortynights1513 I'd much rather think about the errant snap flying by Peyton Manning's head than Malcolm Butler being a big mean jerk and stealing the ball. (Butler never gets nearly enough credit for bullying his way to that interception...it was a legendary play on his part)
I was expecting your Seahawks video to be one geared around praise for what they have recently mananged to pull off as a franchise. But I am actually glad in some respects that we are looking back at some fairly painful years (even though it triggers my childhood trauma, giving me flashbacks to the chair I hid behind after you know what happened). We need to remember that just a few years ago, the team was in the midst of a slow and painful decline spanning many seasons, kept on life support by Russ throwing across his body more times than one should need to. We had some questionable drafts, dubius trades, and downright sus FA signings. We had running backs getting hurt in droves, coaches getting flipped off, fan favorite HOF players injuring their necks and disappearing into the shadow realm, and a wildly inconsistant O-line. The 2022 season was the first time since 2014 where it felt like the team was really trending up, as far as the long-term future was concerned. The last couple of years has felt like a complete 180, and was truly a new era. Before that though, I aways felt a sense of sadness, grief for what never was. Yes, we won a lot of games, but it always seemed like we underachieved. The years spanning 2015 - 2021 can indeed be described as the fumbling of a dynasty, one excruciating trip to State Farm Statium at a time.
As a Seahawks fat superbowl 40 was way more painful for me. We lost superbowl 49 because of our own incompetence, in superbowl 40 we had to play two teams
Let’s not forget this team went an entire decade without a losing record. Winning in the playoffs is just hard. It’s pretty impressive they even made the playoffs considering what was going on behind the scenes
@@raging_crocodile2081 we really should have 3 Lombardi's... But I'm just happy we're a new young team again and finally trending up. I honestly haven't been this excited for the season to start in about a decade 👍
Even though I am a Niner fan and didn't like the team, I respected what they had, and how during the Harbaugh years, they went toe to toe with the niners. I do not think that the interception in the Super Bowl was their ultimate downfall. It was when Russell Wilson's rookie contract was up. When you have to pay your qb a lot of money, the rest of the talent around him eventually suffered. While people credit him for keeping the team afloat, the reason he was running for his life almost every game is because the o line was the area management look to to go cheap on to pay Russell. He didn't have a good old line. ONe of the reasons Tom Brady was so good was because he was kept upright in his games. He had a good old line, because he never took max contract deals, allowing even a few million freed up for a key player, such as an offensive tackle, solid pieces on defense, etc.
This is an old comment, but you are totally correct. Wilson took a max contract, and refused to give up a dime to keep players he needed. He then stopped trying and gave up risking his body anymore, which took his legs out of the equation. Brady didn’t give a shit about the money. He wanted to win, and routinely gave up money to keep pieces around him.
That BeastQuake run is probably the biggest example of home field advantage since the freezer game AFC Championship in which the Bengals upset the Chargers
It still amazes me that in just a few short years one of the greatest defenses of all time was put together, dominated in every way possible, then got torn apart, stomped on, and lit on fire till it was but a memory.
Bruh this the team that got me into football to begin with and I have not seen ANY team replicate this skill and energy. Made me a Seahawks fan for life and has me noticing that this upcoming team is legion of boom 2.0
I’ve come so close so many times to writing a video about them. Hell around a year ago I wrote about a 20 page script on them but abandoned it. Seriously tho I think u can expect a killer B’s video pretty soon.
@tigerwoods373 also aside from 2016 the bs never really had a run in them. The defense let them down always. Harrison and polomalu were retired or too old and not their former selves
I remember the LOB fondly not because I'm a Seahawks fan but because I lived in Seattle around that time and they played fun-to-watch football. They were just so good...I watched SB 48 at a friend's party... I had to think back to that Ravens-Giants jawn to remember the last time I had seen such a merciless ass-kicking in the Super Bowl
Just found your vids. I love the style. I never thought that I’d find another football channel to watch that brings in some fresh takes but I did. Subscribed to you my man
So glad I stumbled across your channel, it’s been very informative for a person who’s just recently gotten into the NFL, love your channel hope this channel become a dynasty
This is Matt Flynn slander. He played great against New England in 2010, played like a God in 2011. Came back to Green Bay when Rodgers was hurt in 2013 and led one of the most memorable comebacks against the Cowboys. Did just enough for us to still win the division in his absence. Dunked on some guy on Twitter with a great tweet. Packers legend.
Flynn was a very good backup in Green Bay. Plus he won the business game of the NFL, making millions off the stats of one regular season game. To his credit, he never made a fuss in 2012 as the backup in Seattle. I hope whatever he's doing now with his life, he's happy and healthy.
The biggest thing was that the Legion of Boom started to suffer too many injuries from their hard tackling. Particularly Kam Chancellor. That hit on the Denver receiver on their first play from scrimmage was devastating, every Bronco receiver developed a bad case of alligator arms (Hope my memory is right about the first play from scrimmage, the NFL has take down Super Bowl 48 Full Game....can't have their darling Peyton looking so bad, couldn't get a single first down for the first 1/3 of that game.🤣)
That was some impressive drafting the first few years of Pete’s reign…the legion of boom was impressive. After the rookie contracts were up, it was going to fall apart.
The Bowman play is more painful than the Crabtree and Sherman catch. Because you could feel the atomosphere change as soon as the Refs ripped the heart of the 49ers fans and players apart.
Great video. I never realized that the worst offensive call in superbowl history was DIRECTLY after the superbowl win (thought there was a year or two between). I watched it live, not evening being a fan and there was ringing in my ear as if a grenade went off. 2nd and goal on the 1 and you throw an inside slant? But when you step back and look at it, Cam and the panthers who beat them in the playoffs the next year went to lose to the Broncos that the Seahawks blew out; potential 3 peat for the Hawks. RIP. I can definitely understand how deflating that loss was for the players.
Most painful loss in my 40 years as a Packer.Fan. Thank you for bringing back my PTSD!! In all seriousness, you are killing it for such a young CC. Hats off to you. Great things are coming your way with your great work ethic.
what people seem to forget about the 2013 NFC championship game the refs were making lotta bad calls, especially on the Bowman interception when he broke his leg! BS! But still, though it was an awesome game!
i love this shit man. i've watched every video for a few months now since you were at 10-15k if im not mistaken, and out the gate you've got it down. the thumbnails, the edits, you know when to have your face in and when to have game clips or graphics in, equally great with off the top quick hitter videos and long essay style videos. fucking great content creator and you got a whole hell of a lot comin your way man. there's a lot of this in the nba community and as i drifted from basketball and fell back in love with football a few years ago i noticed a vacancy in this type of content and you really, really got it down, keep it up bro edit: looked back and i guess it's been more like a year and the channel was even in an earlier stage, guess it's easy to lose track when it's always felt like it's content everyone knows about😂 again keep it up man you got it
A move that always puzzled me was that my Seahawks signed Blair Walsh after he missed the kick for Minnesota that advanced us in the playoffs in 2016. People don't talk much about how he single-handedly lost about 4 games in 2017 with his bad kicking, forcing us to miss the playoffs for the first time in the Russell Wilson era.
It's funny to keep seeing pictures of Geno Smith in here and you don't even say his name😅😅.Oh that man was patient wasn't he? Go on? I liked the story you're telling . I think I'll subscribe
I was at that GB game. The stadium was 2/3 empty by the time the rally started. They stopped checking tickets in the club section because security staff had to go work the exits because so many people were leaving. I was so angry at Russ for his awful gameplay…literally furious, then the most amazing comeback (would have been best comeback in history if they won the SB). Great video for a guy shooting in a dorm room!
Few fail to realize that in 2012 in the divisional round, we could have beaten Atlanta if Pete Carroll didn't try and play cute in the last 40 seconds of the game. He called a time out last minute and and the officials didn't respond at first but Bryant kicked the field goal and missed. If Carroll just sat there a missed field goal would have be a win for the Seahawks and I would be confident that they could have beaten in 49ers at at Candelstick for the NFC Championship.
The NFL fixing what rookies can make on their contract was one of the best decisions they ever made. The salaries were ballooning out of control and it caused strife amongst rookies and veterans... rookies making more than established players without even seeing the field was absurd.
Russell checked to the pass play. That was the downfall. 1&Goal at rhe 2. Hand the ball to Beast mode 4 times. Pete Carroll would have never called a pass there, everyone knew it, and the pats couldnt stop him. However, Russell wanted the glory, and no one liked him after that. Simple as that.
My theory I’ve had as to why the Seahawks threw the ball on the 1 yard line in the Super Bowl was that Pete Carroll still had PTSD from the UT/USC championship game. All LenDale White needed was one yard to close the game for them, and he failed, giving Texas the chance to ultimately come back and win. Maybe I just like to think that as a UT fan, and you would think someone like Pete Carroll would be smart enough to realize that having Beast Mode as your RB is WAAAY different than having LenDale White, but that’s about the only reason I can think of as to why Pete Carroll and the Seahawks made that mind bogglingly stupid decision to pass.
Shut the fuck up bro you guys will never be good again while Seattle has a bright future after it’s short rebuild. 🗣️ You guys are gonna be a completely irrelevant and mediocre franchise until bill belicheck retires so be happy while you live in mediocrity while Seahawks stay winning. W Seattle
Niner fan here. The Seahawks kicked our butts a lot in this era, but the one happiness i have is that they never became that dynasty that nearly all Seahawks fans I'd talk to promised would rival the 49ers of the 80s. One and done.
Pete is going out with a bang. We WILL make the playoffs this season. We could even win the division, highest hopes we are the #1 seed. We can do it, we have the talent
There was a stat I read once about the packers game, if just one of the last 50 plays in the game went the other way, incompletion, completion, run, pass, If just one had been different, packers would of held on. Seattle literally needed the last 50 plays to go exactly how they did.
Lynch fumbled the ball from the 1 yard line during the NFC wildcard game against the Redskins the previous year. He was also tackled for a loss during the 2014 season game against the Broncos. And in the Super Bowl game in the first drive of the 3rd quarter Lynch was tackled for a loss on a 3rd and one forcing the Hawks to kick a field goal. There was NO GUARANTEE that Lynch would have scored and IF the pass play was better executed the Seahawks would have won the Super Bowl. Would have could have should have is just a stupid game.
Wait, what do you mean “you wouldn’t know it at the time” @34:46? New England was already a dynasty, everyone was aware of that for quite a few years before this game
Pete Carroll used to be on those lists of coaches who should have stayed in college. With the 2013 Seahawks and onwards, Pete removed himself from those lists. 😊 I remember in ESPN show where they had him on coaches who should have stayed in college football and not gone to the NFL. I think that show was produced in 2005, ten years later it was no longer true.

They then invested big to get Kirk Cousins, who is decent... and won 1 Play Off Game in 5 years. Everyone was like "Let's throw 24 Million a year at Cousins, that will bring us back to the Superbowl after an eternity." No one was like "Let's pay Keenum half of that and invest into the skill group..."
Can you build a Superbowl Contender around Cousins? If you pay him 12-15 Millions a year, you could. But you can't get Cousins at that price tag, so the answer is No.
On the other hand, look at the 49ers skill group and how good they look, while playing Mr. Irrelevant at Quarterback. They can afford that group, because their Quarterbacks 7 Millions. All of them combined. Once they sign Prudy to an extension, they will have to let a lot of guys walk...
@PassivesAbseits But Russell Wilson won a Super Bowl and went right back to another that was there for the taken. Then they took away his line and key defenders were hurt. But he still played well. Aaron Rodhers went to one, but never again, but he played well. Nick Foles won, got paid and is gone. The fact is that it is not easy getting to the Super Bowl no matter how much you're getting paid. That's why the smart ones like Troy Aikman and Tom Brady were willing to give up a lil money. They weren't satisfied with one Super Bowl. Look at Drew Brees, Dan Marino. Phillip Rivers, and Dan Fouts.
he wasnt the only one that showed up with a big receipt. a lot of the defense all ended up getting massive contracts.... which they somewhat deserved, but for every one of them over performing their competition, it made it impossible to keep everyone and fill other needs later down the road. the crazy shit with Wilson just makes it all even more wacky that worked as long as it did.
@@vissermatt1058 Ture. And that is one of the core problems of especially the NFL, but US Sports in general, we Europeans will never understand: Why do you punish teams, that draft and develope well? Because by design, you can't keep that team together. Which gives every team a 4-5 year cycle to win the Superbowl at best. After that, the players are too expensive to build a decent roster. Even the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes seem to fall into this trap.
But the ugly truth is also, that Earl Thomas had to hold out, because the Seahawks refused to pay him. He then broke his leg in what was his last game. Earl Thomas has earned 79 Million Dollars in his career. Willson is scheduled to make 477 Million. 182 as a Seahawk. Cam Chancellor, Richard Shermann and Earl Thomas got a combined 175.
Imagine paying Wilson 2/3 or half of that money and spending the rest on great players....
But since every QB contract has to break the previous record, that is an impossible thought... except for Tom Brady and the Patriots, who refused to play this game. Brady also won so many Superbowls, because he was willing to take massive pay cuts. Smart man.
I remember Matt Flynn from 2013 when Rodgers missed half the season with a broken collar bone. He actually had a pretty good stretch including a comeback win down 26-3 against the cowboys.
It was a fun ride in the Northwest in the 2010s for Seahawk fans. This video is a great summary of the overall story. But I guess I don't look at at the "what ifs" so much as Seattle played the weirdest brand of football for nearly a decade. There were even articles about how they just seemed incapable of ever playing a normal game, with so many going down to the last drive or whatever. It was fun, exciting, heart-attacking inducing and rarely boring. We watch football for entertainment, at its core. Seahawk fans were always entertained, even if some of it was painful.
My theory is that their insane, miracle comeback against Green Bay in the NFC championship game used up all their luck. That's still the most incredible few minutes of football ever. Wilson went from playing his worst game ever to his best. Meanwhile, Marshawn Lynch kept it together. It also helps Mike McCarthy was a timid man that day.
This new version of the Seahawks might have their own championship run in them soon. But I'm not sure they'll ever be the same wacky bunch of characters as the mid 2010s Seahawks. They were legendary. And we'll always treasure that thumping of Peyton Manning. As a fan, I'm satisfied.
From a Seahawks fan, I think that the 2010's teams should be considered very good as a group. They won one championship, and with less friction and better execution in some spots, they may have won more. But they were a strong, consistent playoff team for the better part of a decade, and there's no shame in that.
As for the team of late, we'll see how far they can go. I heard Geno Smith didn't do that great in the second half of the year, but with the latest draft pick, we should have an improved defense.
As for Russell Wilson, looking back he was more of a solid game manager in 2013 and arguably 14 as well with the defense and running game obviously being the better components (possibly one of the last teams with that kind of a setup to win a title), but credit him for being a key player, and more of a significant factor on the playoff teams after that.
After reading the last part of your comment, I'm glad I'm not the only one who looks back and enjoys the championship we actually got. I hear a lot of people complain that Super Bowl 40 was rigged, and a lot of people complain that we threw the ball on the one yard line, and I see relatively few people looking back and appreciating the championship we actually got.
@@fortynights1513 I'd much rather think about the errant snap flying by Peyton Manning's head than Malcolm Butler being a big mean jerk and stealing the ball. (Butler never gets nearly enough credit for bullying his way to that interception...it was a legendary play on his part)
I was expecting your Seahawks video to be one geared around praise for what they have recently mananged to pull off as a franchise. But I am actually glad in some respects that we are looking back at some fairly painful years (even though it triggers my childhood trauma, giving me flashbacks to the chair I hid behind after you know what happened). We need to remember that just a few years ago, the team was in the midst of a slow and painful decline spanning many seasons, kept on life support by Russ throwing across his body more times than one should need to. We had some questionable drafts, dubius trades, and downright sus FA signings. We had running backs getting hurt in droves, coaches getting flipped off, fan favorite HOF players injuring their necks and disappearing into the shadow realm, and a wildly inconsistant O-line. The 2022 season was the first time since 2014 where it felt like the team was really trending up, as far as the long-term future was concerned. The last couple of years has felt like a complete 180, and was truly a new era. Before that though, I aways felt a sense of sadness, grief for what never was. Yes, we won a lot of games, but it always seemed like we underachieved. The years spanning 2015 - 2021 can indeed be described as the fumbling of a dynasty, one excruciating trip to State Farm Statium at a time.
As a Seahawks fat superbowl 40 was way more painful for me. We lost superbowl 49 because of our own incompetence, in superbowl 40 we had to play two teams
Let’s not forget this team went an entire decade without a losing record. Winning in the playoffs is just hard. It’s pretty impressive they even made the playoffs considering what was going on behind the scenes
@@raging_crocodile2081 we really should have 3 Lombardi's... But I'm just happy we're a new young team again and finally trending up. I honestly haven't been this excited for the season to start in about a decade 👍
@@earthatom7 agree 💯
Even though I am a Niner fan and didn't like the team, I respected what they had, and how during the Harbaugh years, they went toe to toe with the niners.
I do not think that the interception in the Super Bowl was their ultimate downfall. It was when Russell Wilson's rookie contract was up. When you have to pay your qb a lot of money, the rest of the talent around him eventually suffered. While people credit him for keeping the team afloat, the reason he was running for his life almost every game is because the o line was the area management look to to go cheap on to pay Russell. He didn't have a good old line.
ONe of the reasons Tom Brady was so good was because he was kept upright in his games. He had a good old line, because he never took max contract deals, allowing even a few million freed up for a key player, such as an offensive tackle, solid pieces on defense, etc.
This is an old comment, but you are totally correct. Wilson took a max contract, and refused to give up a dime to keep players he needed. He then stopped trying and gave up risking his body anymore, which took his legs out of the equation. Brady didn’t give a shit about the money. He wanted to win, and routinely gave up money to keep pieces around him.
That BeastQuake run is probably the biggest example of home field advantage since the freezer game AFC Championship in which the Bengals upset the Chargers
To be honest Pete is doing this all over again. I gotta hand it to him and the Seahawks organization
With Witherspoon and JSN I think the Seahawks really might be building something special again and it’s been far too long
Sooooo Pete Carrol is gone
I really wish he was man...
i was just going to post "lmfao" but i feel bad about it
This didn't age well😢
It still amazes me that in just a few short years one of the greatest defenses of all time was put together, dominated in every way possible, then got torn apart, stomped on, and lit on fire till it was but a memory.
Umm how long do you think you can keep an era together?
This channel will be a huge Dynasty soon. Believe it.
Hope you doing well
@@waffles5433your mom
@@waffles5433 you're good at this
Bruh this the team that got me into football to begin with and I have not seen ANY team replicate this skill and energy. Made me a Seahawks fan for life and has me noticing that this upcoming team is legion of boom 2.0
Hey TubFrog, I really enjoyed this video! It was very entertaining and informative. Next, could you please do the Steelers' Killer B's?
I’ve come so close so many times to writing a video about them. Hell around a year ago I wrote about a 20 page script on them but abandoned it. Seriously tho I think u can expect a killer B’s video pretty soon.
In one word, overrated.
Brown is pretty good but his ego meant he would never truly be hof great.
@@tubfrog You Forget to mention the WORST PLAY IN NFL HISTORY (Russell Wilson pass gets INTERCEPTED by Malcom Butler).
@tigerwoods373 also aside from 2016 the bs never really had a run in them. The defense let them down always. Harrison and polomalu were retired or too old and not their former selves
he did the thing
When Kam Chancellor went down I knew the LOB was doomed, he was so dominant and a leader for the team. 😢
Yep. He created more cases of alligator arms ...
I miss Kam. Career ended way too soon.
One of my GOATS ❤
I remember the LOB fondly not because I'm a Seahawks fan but because I lived in Seattle around that time and they played fun-to-watch football. They were just so good...I watched SB 48 at a friend's party... I had to think back to that Ravens-Giants jawn to remember the last time I had seen such a merciless ass-kicking in the Super Bowl
Just found your vids. I love the style. I never thought that I’d find another football channel to watch that brings in some fresh takes but I did. Subscribed to you my man
At least they got 1 SB, the Jim Harbaugh 49ers made it to 3 straight championships and no SB. You should do a video about that collapse from 2011-2014
AMAZING video man well done.....the only gripe i have is leaving out Mebane on the D line. KJ even said he was the most important part of 2011-2014
Great vid. Found myself cracking up quite a bit
as a seattle fan it almost makes me kinda sad watching this. we threw it away, literally.
I mean you didn't do shit lol , the team did .
IMO, ever since Russell threw that goal line interception in Super Bowl 49, his NFL career has never been the same.
This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites for football, keep up the great work! Also, imma need that song @ 19:20
been loving and looking foward to all of your vids man. great stuff
Forgot Percy Harvin was even on the Seahawks. Now that’s a loaded team. In 2013 Harvin was still an NFL fan household name.
dude pls keep uploading more. ur vids are entertaining AF
So glad I stumbled across your channel, it’s been very informative for a person who’s just recently gotten into the NFL, love your channel hope this channel become a dynasty
Wish I could’ve stumbled across a few periods when I was reading this
You’re gonna be a star dude. These videos are top notch.
This is Matt Flynn slander. He played great against New England in 2010, played like a God in 2011. Came back to Green Bay when Rodgers was hurt in 2013 and led one of the most memorable comebacks against the Cowboys. Did just enough for us to still win the division in his absence. Dunked on some guy on Twitter with a great tweet. Packers legend.
Flynn was a very good backup in Green Bay. Plus he won the business game of the NFL, making millions off the stats of one regular season game. To his credit, he never made a fuss in 2012 as the backup in Seattle. I hope whatever he's doing now with his life, he's happy and healthy.
The biggest thing was that the Legion of Boom started to suffer too many injuries from their hard tackling. Particularly Kam Chancellor. That hit on the Denver receiver on their first play from scrimmage was devastating, every Bronco receiver developed a bad case of alligator arms (Hope my memory is right about the first play from scrimmage, the NFL has take down Super Bowl 48 Full Game....can't have their darling Peyton looking so bad, couldn't get a single first down for the first 1/3 of that game.🤣)
R.l.P Tarvaris Jackson💚💙
That was some impressive drafting the first few years of Pete’s reign…the legion of boom was impressive. After the rookie contracts were up, it was going to fall apart.
One play at the Superbowl changed what could have been a Dynasty.
The Bowman play is more painful than the Crabtree and Sherman catch. Because you could feel the atomosphere change as soon as the Refs ripped the heart of the 49ers fans and players apart.
I love this bc the seahawks got me into football around 2011 (only 12 years old), but i didnt remember all that happened. A stroll down memory lane
Great video. I never realized that the worst offensive call in superbowl history was DIRECTLY after the superbowl win (thought there was a year or two between). I watched it live, not evening being a fan and there was ringing in my ear as if a grenade went off. 2nd and goal on the 1 and you throw an inside slant? But when you step back and look at it, Cam and the panthers who beat them in the playoffs the next year went to lose to the Broncos that the Seahawks blew out; potential 3 peat for the Hawks. RIP. I can definitely understand how deflating that loss was for the players.
Most painful loss in my 40 years as a Packer.Fan. Thank you for bringing back my PTSD!! In all seriousness, you are killing it for such a young CC. Hats off to you. Great things are coming your way with your great work ethic.
The Matt Flynn tweet was amazing 😂
As a 49ers fan this was very interesting to watch. How a few decisions can change the directory of a team. Will see how things go for 2023
what people seem to forget about the 2013 NFC championship game the refs were making lotta bad calls, especially on the Bowman interception when he broke his leg! BS! But still, though it was an awesome game!
Best video I’ve seen in along time
I'm always impressed how you do these videos in one take just by memory
Great video man!
i love this shit man. i've watched every video for a few months now since you were at 10-15k if im not mistaken, and out the gate you've got it down. the thumbnails, the edits, you know when to have your face in and when to have game clips or graphics in, equally great with off the top quick hitter videos and long essay style videos. fucking great content creator and you got a whole hell of a lot comin your way man. there's a lot of this in the nba community and as i drifted from basketball and fell back in love with football a few years ago i noticed a vacancy in this type of content and you really, really got it down, keep it up bro
edit: looked back and i guess it's been more like a year and the channel was even in an earlier stage, guess it's easy to lose track when it's always felt like it's content everyone knows about😂 again keep it up man you got it
👍 So glad to see this video! How many renders did it take? So frustrating for you TubFrog…. 🎉 Glad it’s finally here!
Just hand the ball the Marshyn lynch and we talking about how great the Seahawks Defense was for winning back to back Superbowl
A move that always puzzled me was that my Seahawks signed Blair Walsh after he missed the kick for Minnesota that advanced us in the playoffs in 2016. People don't talk much about how he single-handedly lost about 4 games in 2017 with his bad kicking, forcing us to miss the playoffs for the first time in the Russell Wilson era.
I love how you go into details about teams, rise and fall!
i’m so glad you blurred the pick on the goal line. it’s still too soon to watch that play
seahawks and panthers during this time was the most exciting football ive ever scene. loved that time
I love how the taped pictures in the background evolve. 😂 Good channel my dude
great content, I'm enjoying watching info about teams and players I don't even like!
Good work. Thanks for making this
As someone who lives in Denver, Super Bowl 48 was truly embarrassing. People are literally ashamed to talk about that game.
These type of videos are my favorites. Looking forward to the weekly recaps next year tho of course
Great vid!
Gotta love getting back to back 15 second ads you can’t skip
It's funny to keep seeing pictures of Geno Smith in here and you don't even say his name😅😅.Oh that man was patient wasn't he? Go on? I liked the story you're telling . I think I'll subscribe
Cliff Avril had an especially strong hatred of losing as he was on that 0-16 '08 Lions squad.
I was at that GB game. The stadium was 2/3 empty by the time the rally started. They stopped checking tickets in the club section because security staff had to go work the exits because so many people were leaving. I was so angry at Russ for his awful gameplay…literally furious, then the most amazing comeback (would have been best comeback in history if they won the SB).
Great video for a guy shooting in a dorm room!
Few fail to realize that in 2012 in the divisional round, we could have beaten Atlanta if Pete Carroll didn't try and play cute in the last 40 seconds of the game. He called a time out last minute and and the officials didn't respond at first but Bryant kicked the field goal and missed.
If Carroll just sat there a missed field goal would have be a win for the Seahawks and I would be confident that they could have beaten in 49ers at at Candelstick for the NFC Championship.
I say the same thing about the Falcons....they never recovered from that loss
Grinding from the barracks room. I see you putting in that work bro
Had to click out of this video when I hit my 8th 15 second ad. Start a patreon or something my guy good lord
Everyone and their pet goldfish gets me every time
The NFL fixing what rookies can make on their contract was one of the best decisions they ever made. The salaries were ballooning out of control and it caused strife amongst rookies and veterans... rookies making more than established players without even seeing the field was absurd.
Ah yes a video that breaks my heart....Greatest time of my life....#NeverForget #GoHawks
Easy sub on my first vid. Great job and a great video, my dude.
Russell checked to the pass play. That was the downfall. 1&Goal at rhe 2. Hand the ball to Beast mode 4 times. Pete Carroll would have never called a pass there, everyone knew it, and the pats couldnt stop him. However, Russell wanted the glory, and no one liked him after that. Simple as that.
Russ never checked the play 💀Carroll even admitted that was the play-call in a recent interview.
I mean you gotta wonder if he should’ve checked it to a rushing play instead…
My theory I’ve had as to why the Seahawks threw the ball on the 1 yard line in the Super Bowl was that Pete Carroll still had PTSD from the UT/USC championship game. All LenDale White needed was one yard to close the game for them, and he failed, giving Texas the chance to ultimately come back and win. Maybe I just like to think that as a UT fan, and you would think someone like Pete Carroll would be smart enough to realize that having Beast Mode as your RB is WAAAY different than having LenDale White, but that’s about the only reason I can think of as to why Pete Carroll and the Seahawks made that mind bogglingly stupid decision to pass.
49ers got railroaded in 13 nfc championships game. It was insane the calls the refs were home cooking.
It ended beacuse of the "The Throw" thanks Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll
As a patriots fan I’m excited for a certain Super Bowl moment
😭😭😭 fuck u and ur dark empire with the bad man
Shut the fuck up bro you guys will never be good again while Seattle has a bright future after it’s short rebuild. 🗣️
You guys are gonna be a completely irrelevant and mediocre franchise until bill belicheck retires so be happy while you live in mediocrity while Seahawks stay winning. W Seattle
Glad Darth Brady's finally retired. Hope you have fun seeing them lose a lot more than usual
Thank you. Love your content.
Also, Russell Wilson ran himself out of town.
bro that part of marshawn Lynch telling the saints defense to eat his nuts after the beast quake will never not make me laugh
Niner fan here. The Seahawks kicked our butts a lot in this era, but the one happiness i have is that they never became that dynasty that nearly all Seahawks fans I'd talk to promised would rival the 49ers of the 80s. One and done.
I love the potential dynasty videos do you have any more in the works?
Pete is going out with a bang. We WILL make the playoffs this season. We could even win the division, highest hopes we are the #1 seed. We can do it, we have the talent
But with Geno Smith as a QB, HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got bad news buddy, it ain’t looking too good
This ain't aged well 🤣🤣🤣
Keep this shit up man I love the vids and think u got endless potential
I think his best stuff is the work he does with TubGirl.
Nice dorm room, appreciate the grind!
well done! new sub here *salute*
I like your channel
There was a stat I read once about the packers game, if just one of the last 50 plays in the game went the other way, incompletion, completion, run, pass, If just one had been different, packers would of held on. Seattle literally needed the last 50 plays to go exactly how they did.
14:17 that game was won at “century link field” in Seattle
It’s funny to think of what that defense did to Manning, then to Rogers, then Brady did in SB49
No need to tell Vikings fans to look away. Whatever game it is, the pain lives on and on.
Lynch fumbled the ball from the 1 yard line during the NFC wildcard game against the Redskins the previous year. He was also tackled for a loss during the 2014 season game against the Broncos. And in the Super Bowl game in the first drive of the 3rd quarter Lynch was tackled for a loss on a 3rd and one forcing the Hawks to kick a field goal. There was NO GUARANTEE that Lynch would have scored and IF the pass play was better executed the Seahawks would have won the Super Bowl. Would have could have should have is just a stupid game.
And if they did not waste their time outs. . . .
Sorry.
Go Pats!
Wait, what do you mean “you wouldn’t know it at the time” @34:46? New England was already a dynasty, everyone was aware of that for quite a few years before this game
Fantastic video.
I'm glad I found this!
Pete Carroll used to be on those lists of coaches who should have stayed in college.
With the 2013 Seahawks and onwards, Pete removed himself from those lists.
😊 I remember in ESPN show where they had him on coaches who should have stayed in college football and not gone to the NFL.
I think that show was produced in 2005, ten years later it was no longer true.
