The Seattle Seahawks have 383 common season wins to their identify, and for this Sunday dialogue we’re going to recollect a few of our favourite ones of all-time.
I specified common season solely as a result of, properly, the postseason has three NFC Championship wins, the Tremendous Bowl win, the upset over Dan Marino’s Miami Dolphins, Beastquake, and the nuttiness that was Tony Romo fumbling on the 1-yard line within the Dallas Cowboys sport. Due to this fact, all of them are exempt from this dialog as a result of it’s too simple to select from these video games.
In contrast to earlier discussions you possibly can select a number of video games, and as at all times your reasoning is solely as much as you. You’ll be able to decide from any period, any head coach, house or away, AFC West days or NFC West days, you’ve acquired the concept.
The picture alternative for this text is from the Seahawks’ 42-13 demolition of the San Francisco 49ers on December 23, 2012. Seattle ruined Jim Harbaugh’s birthday, clinched a playoff spot, and briefly stored their NFC West title hopes alive. Above all else, it was a completely dominant efficiency that made it abundantly clear that the Seahawks had arrived as an elite crew.
The inconceivable comeback towards the Dallas Cowboys in 2005 will get an honorable point out as a result of this sport wasn’t all that entertaining, then the Seahawks turned a 10-3 deficit right into a 13-10 win due to a Ryan Hannam game-tying landing, adopted by Large Play Babs’ interception of Drew Bledsoe, and Josh Brown’s buzzer-beating discipline aim.
For a correct, optimistic Throwback Thursday — Jordan Babineaux was generally known as “Large Play Babs.” You recognize of the sort out he made on Romo within the playoffs, however the legend of “Large Play Babs” was created within the 2005 season, additionally towards the Cowboys.

Later that 12 months was the 24-21 additional time basic with the New York Giants, who’re nonetheless false beginning to today. Jay Feely missed three game-winning discipline objectives, and if solely Twitter was round on the time to make this a meme…
Some of the Pete Carroll-esque wins of the Mike Holmgren period was scraping a 28-24 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on the street though the Eagles didn’t have Donovan McNabb. Lofa Tatupu shut the door on a comeback due to AJ Feeley’s refusal to acknowledge his existence.
Getting again to the Carroll days, the 2015 shootout over the Pittsburgh Steelers felt like Russell Wilson’s arrival as an upper-tier passer, to not point out it was the Seahawks’ first win over Pittsburgh since 2003. Ending the 49ers’ undefeated run in that wild 2019 additional time basic can also be excessive up there, as is the win over the Rams earlier that season. For sheer leisure functions, Geno Smith’s masterclass towards the Detroit Lions within the 48-45 thriller was infuriating for defensive causes however so pleasurable on offense.
