,,,the pipes, the pipes are,,, A "destination spot"? I thought that when Holmgren signed on "back-in-the-day". It's always been an attractive city to live in even back when Bill Boeing was building furniture in his would be airplane factory to stave off a lull in demand post WWI. I thought that when I watched them build the Space Needle, the Kingdome or even when turbine engines replaced the Rolls-Royce thunder near Seward Park in August. Oh, you mean for pro-football players exercising free will. Ok, I get your point and I agree. It can be fleeting though just look at the J-E-T-S right now. What happens when Pete's contract is up? Bevell is the head coach of those Jets? You two look like you've got another score of years to get through another non-destination era, but for me, I'm going to bask in this one with all my might.

I agree. Seattle is becoming a destination spot. What Seattle has done so far in the off season speaks loudly. Cliff Avril said that he had targeted Seattle as a team he would like to play for. Michael Bennett did not give Tampa Bay a chance to match his offer. Not only is the team young. Avril also mentioned playing at CenturyLink Field was another reason he signed up with the Seahawks. Plus I feel their is enormous respect for Russell Wilson. Players like to play with Russell Wilson. What Seattle did in the second half against the Falcons cannot be underestimated. Seattle came from 20 points down in the second half and actually took the lead. This shows everyone that the Seahawks are a team to be reckon with. Everyone wants be a part of that.

...is just that, "right now." The last three years were a rebuild. Now the Hawks are either at an program apex, or continuing to add on, as they "need to believe. At some point when is this all sustainable and perpetual? We don't know and frankly the players don't either, which leads to "live for today" mentality. I'd like to see what's predicted in 5 years by John and Pete. If they're still here, you understand. Fear the future? Hard to say.
