"What one man can do, another can do!"

Guess what? FIVE teams beat the Giants at the meadowlands last season. Why not us? Why not now?

On Sunday, we're gonna kill the mutha fuckas... Just like Sir Anthony Hopkins says.

October: Great for my Red Sox, Decent for U2, BADDDD for the Seahawks

If the Seahawks are going to reach their first 2008 goal of an NFC West title, they first have to improve their performance in the month of October. Anyone want to guess what Seattle's October record is during the Holmgren era?







No cheating, now....

Ok...

13-20.

Yup. 13-20... Just about a 6-10 season. Positively Cardinal-esque, huh? For the "non-October" portions of the regular season since '99, the Hawks are 61-37 69-42, working out to about a 10-6 record over a "full season".

Why the struggles in October? In 2008 at least, the schedule is a decent excuse:

@ NYG
GB
@ TB
@ SF

Ouch. That's rough. Not the best draw if you're looking to break a tendency.

To have a realistic shot at postseason, the Hawks need to at least split these games. They'd then be 3-4 going into a HUGE showdown with the Eagles at Qwest on Nov. 2.... That one's tough, but winnable.

Show us something new, Hawks. Win a game on the east coast you aren't expected to win. Here's a good U2 song to inspire you:

Have you seen this man (on tv)?

That's me with the mind-blowingly awesome Kangaroo TV device after our 2007 win over the Bengals... An anonymous tipster thinks he saw me on TV:

Did you know they showed a clip of you in a Fox Sports commercial last night? I think it was during the "Mack Strong, In His Own Words" program. You're famous! ...this was definetelely DKSB at Qwest Field. You were using one of those little TVs you can rent at the stadium.

If this is fo' realsies, I'd love to see the ad. Has anyone else seen it? If so, does anyone have the necessary means to put it up on the youtubes?

Giants Schmiants...

Patrick Kerney: Ready to feast on Eli's soul.

I'm not here to talk trash about the Giants. They're the defending world champs, and they are once again a formidable team. They are what the Seahawks are trying to become.

However, I'm not about to concede Sunday's game. Why?

-If you watch ESPN enough, you start to believe the NFC East is populated by Terminators, T-Rexes and Tasmanian Devils. Surely the puny Seahawks must have an awful record against such an dominant division, right?

How about 9-1 since the start of 2005 (including the last nine in a row), with the single loss in OT at FedEx Field?

-Yeah, Seattle is only 18-27 on the road since 2003, but NYG is only 19-29 at home over the same period. The G-men have a long history of simply failing to show up for games at the Meadowlands, so this would be a PRIME spot for the Hawks to break through with a big win in the Eastern Time Zone.

-While the Hawks get a bunch of players back this week, the Giants are of course without Plax. Shouldn't the Seahawks take his suspension almost as bulletin board material? If the next game was against the Cowboys or Eagles, I HIGHLY doubt that Burress would have been suspended by the team.

Time to step up, Hawks... Don't lose and make me look like a Schmuck.

The Seahawks just had a better day off than Ferris Bueller

"Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

-Ferris Bueller, surely urging us to sit back and enjoy this bye week.

Jipes. The Niners and Cards both just took SEVERE beatings back east (don't let AZ's comeback attempt to dignify the final score fool you... they got pwned).

After a traumatically awful 0-2 start, the Seahawks are only a half-game out of first place in the admittedly pathetic NFC West. With SF playing the Patriots and AZ tangling with Buffalo next week, a win at the Meadowlands could quite possibly put Seattle back atop the division.

No matter what the national media says, we don't need to make any apologies for winning a crappy division. How many times did the Niners do that back in the '80s? We need to copy something else those old Niners did a few times: Win playoff games on the road.

Living out here in the NFC West gives the Hawks the opportunity to get healthy and then start rolling towards Championship-calibre January football. For now, just thank the maker that, like Anthony Michael Hall in Sixteen Candles, we're "King of the Dipshits."
