I no ties to this team other than my unrelenting desire to watch a dumpster fire. I am not from the Maryland/Virginia area. I grew up hearing only stories of when we were good/great. My father and I bonded so much over watching games together. I am in my mid 30s now, I could not ever expect to pass the burden (which it sadly has become) to my children. I have never been fair-weather in my life about anything. It is so hard to get myself motivated to represent anything related to this franchise. I could never identify with another team being my "favorite team," but I don't feel that until some major changes happen that WFT deserves to be a favorite anything either. Yep, same here. I was born in 1985 so I hardly remember the team being good and my daughter will be 4 in February and I just can’t subject her to this. I’m planning on keeping most of my brothers Seahawks gear and memorabilia so maybe I’ll let her become a fan of Seattle if she takes an interest in football? I just can’t do to her what’s been done to me as a fan. After 20+ years of Snyder owning this team and the results being the same over and over again it’s about time to admit this is what the team is. It’s never getting better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiphoon Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Also it was weird to know that two mods and a former mod were at the game and posting within the rules, while probably cursing like sailors in the stands today @naptownskinsfan @Woz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he can be a real ****** nugget, but one thing that Bill Simmons had right: you cannot necessarily move your kids' fandom to your team but you can move them away from your bitter rivals (one of @SpawnOfWoz's first phrases was "Cowboys suck!") http://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?sportCat=nba&page=simmons/101201https://grantland.com/features/the-consequences-caring/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we know for sure? Kyle Allen started & finished what equates to 3 games last year (counting the Rams game & 2nd Giants game as 1 combined game) He was: 69%, 610 yds, 4 TDs passing, 1 TD rushing, 1 int & 1 fumble lost To me there’s a reason why Rivera said he felt if Kyle didn’t get hurt last October that he would’ve led the team to a division championship too - without being directly asked that by a reporter - and there’s a reason why we traded for Kyle Allen & didn’t just sign Heinicke in FA last March, Heinicke wasn’t a thought of being on the team last year until Alex couldn’t play vs Carolina. Heinicke was an emergency QB that week, Kyle has never been that since we traded for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still heavily bet against it based on his track record, though. 7 minutes ago, turtle28 said: To me there’s a reason why Rivera said he felt if Kyle didn’t get hurt last October that he would’ve led the team to a division championship too - without being directly asked that by a reporter - and there’s a reason why we traded for Kyle Allen & didn’t just sign Heinicke in FA last March, Heinicke wasn’t a thought of being on the team last year until Alex couldn’t play vs Carolina.

So, he had already seen what Heinicke did vs the Bucs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I feel that everyone, no matter which generation feels this. I can't articulate how much I have used this team as a crutch in my life for when things aren't going well. Unfortunately (and fortunately), they are the biggest negative in my life right now. Like most abusive relationships and toxic work environments, the fear of what you will do outside of those situations looms large. For some reason, I feel if I abandon this team, my love for football may leave with it. A break for a few weeks may be a good start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcavalier Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 No more for me. It's over. For 30 years this team has been awful. We had Gibbs, and in 10 years he took the team to 5 NFC Championship games with 4 non franchise QBs! He went to 4 Superbowl s, winning 3 of them with non franchise QBs. We have not had franchise QB since Sonny! The owner has destroyed this once great team and ran it to the ground. Well it's over! I am not spending another minute with this team. Quitting the NFL. The NFL let Snyder keep the team after all the crap he has done. I think all the fans should boycott the team until Snyder is gone. Show the emails.

I have no clue if Kyle Allen can play better then he did in 2019 and last year over a long period of time, but I think we have the answer we need on Heinicke, he’s definitely not the guy who’s going to elevate us to a perennial playoff team or more. I’d be interested to get the final answer on Kyle Allen too. Edited October 18, 2021 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offbyone Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I really didn't think Heinecke was a disaster as many seem to be saying. He wasn't good, but neither did I think he was bad. McLaurin also had an off game. Gibson was one good play and 1 disaster play. The whole offense was just blah today. We just aren't very good in general and it shows as a game goes on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
