Attainable Goals
I love seeing things that I've never before. Enough occurrences and I get to see it all. Never before has an NFL team with a losing record advanced to the playoffs. Never before your 2010 Seattle Seahawks. Behind a monster defense effort, gutsy play-calling and a well-managed game by backup QB Charlie Whitehurst, Seattle stole the NFC West from the Rams 16-6. Coming into the game averaging 85 yards rushing, the 7-9 'Hawks racked up a buck-44 and will host the 11-5 New Orleans Saints at Quest Field next weekend. If you can stand there with a straight face and tell me that Seattle has more talent than the Browns, then you are either a liar or an idiot. It gives me hope. Especially in the face of 41-9. Congrats to Pete Carroll et al. I'll be pulling for Cinderella.
