When Dallas played Seattle I kept hearing how Dallas was playing without Flozelle Adams and Julius Jones and how disadvantaged they were. Seattle had their #3 receiver at #1 spot because #'s 1and 2 were hurt. Their starting safety was gone as was their #2and 3 cornerbacks yet all I heard was how Seattle stole a win.
The Bronco's and the Seahawks have gotten almost no credit for their success this year. The Colts, the Pats, the Giants and the Bears all got bumped in their first games and those were the ones the media wanted to win. Thats just the way it is.
You know what would make a Seahawks vs. Broncos matchup extra interesting? For years they were in the same division and played each other twice a year. I lived in Seattle and was a Seahawks fan and my brother lived north of Denver and was a Broncos fan. I miss that little rivalry we had going.
Seattle didnt get any respect because they had a VERY weak schedule and the good teams they faced, they lost or in the case of the Giants they should have lost.
