It's funny everyone calling Seahawk fans bandwagoners. I'm used to it though because I went through it in '03 with everyone calling all the flames fans bandwagoners.

You might not be a bandwagoner but you could still admit that your fanbase contains a large amount of bandwagoners, larger than most. It's true whether you like it or not.
There's something about that west coast and bandwagon sports fans.
Anyway back to the game. Seattle looked impressive especially on offense but couldn't help but be more disappointed in Green Bay than anything else. They didn't look like the Super Bowl pick that many experts tabbed them as. Defense isn't great still and the O-line wasn't opening up any holes for Lacy.

Adding those two caliber of players for the home stretch would be massive. Also don't forget DL Glenn Dorsey, would be a big boost to the D-line in December when he returns.
I'm just happy they should be back for the games against Seattle, it's gonna be a bloodbath!

I agree, if these guys can come back and in Smiths case, have his head screwed on right, the 49ers weill be a force...... i can really see them falling back this year because of the loss of these defensive players and still not sold on Kaepernik yet, hope he proves me wrong....

Like I say, just like the Flames did. Whenever a team rises up to "sudden" success the casual fans break out. They aren't bandwagon. I don't think you can be band wagon if you live in the city especially if you are from the city

I'd be lying if the Seahawks trip to the Superbowl vs the Steelers isn't what ignited my interest in the NFL. It wasn't until about three years ago that I actually really started to get over my "football is boring and stupid attitude," and watch entire games and find enjoyment in them. I come from a household that had no real interest in Football, so there was no family allegiance to pick from. It was just the closest geographical team made the Superbowl, so why not pick them? Seems like a pretty good hop-on point.

Not even close to the amount of Packer bandwagon fans. Not unexpected when you have back-to-back HOF caliber QBs.
A partner at work was a Bears fan, and switched to the Packers. Who does that?

I'd probably just wouldn't talk to that guy about football again if I knew him. I don't even get how people can have allegiances to more than one team.

Ready for another season of suck-age and mediocrity, this time without a first round draft pick to look forward to.
Let's go Bills!

I like the Seahawks. Love the atmosphere of the stadium, like the way they have built that team, and I am a fan of Russel Wilson.
I will still cheer for the Chiefs when they play each other. But most weeks the Chiefs play the early game and the Seahawks the afternoon one. So having a second team that hardly ever plays the main team makes things more interesting.

So I like Jacksonville this season and since it's week 1 I put 16 on them in my confidence pool, while everyone else as expected picked the Eagles by 15 or 16. Go Jags!

I was thinking Hoyer would be given at least 4 starts to see what he can do. Not so sure anymore.

Mike Nugent fantasy MVP so far. Andy Dalton getting paid a lot to set up FGs.

Flacco sucks, wastes 8 seconds with a timeout and the Ravens get nothing. And yeah it's 5 FGs, Dalton and Flacco both have horrible contracts.
