I understand and respect your comments.
Yes we should not have lost to the 7-9 team, but we have to put the loss behind us.
I am in no way blaming this loss on injuries, i don't like to make excuses but it certainly didn't help that our two leading rushers got put on IR a week before the game was played.
In credit to the seahawks, they exploited roman harpers weaknesses, they obviously studied where they could gain an advantage and they found one.
We were too inconsistent all year, i also made a comment in the live chat that even though i was disappointed in the loss it was probably for the best this year because we would not fair well in the later rounds.
We need to be more of a complete team and unfortunately, this year it did not happen, next year it will.
People are just trying to keep their heads up, as you pointed out, yes we shouldn't have lost to that team but at the end of the day, the NFL is any given sunday - How many colts fans do you think thought "Theres no way we are losing to the saints in SB" and look what happened.
We have to chalk this up as experience and keep it for our ammo, going into next season.

The Saints were 15-3 last year going into the Superbowl, Not some loser 7-9 team. Sorry Dizzle, you know your my buddy, but I'm kinda like AllSaints, I'm still pissed off that we lost to this team. We should have been able to beat them with all of our starters sitting on the bench. All the guys taking the place of our injured palyers are also in the NFL. They should be able to play NFL quality football.

I understand mate, it was kind of a bad example to use on my behalf. Yeah the loss stings because plain and simple, seattle are not a good team, i believe what affected us the most was the fact that;

All year we played down to the competition (i have no idea why)
We seemed to stop caring after we developed a 10 or point lead
Ivory, Thomas, Jenkins, Hargrove and Graham being out certainly wasn't a great help for us.
Never the less, we should have been able to beat the hawks, without those guys.
The one thing i am hanging my hat on at the minute is, hey we have two 11 or more win seasons, back to back, we have a SB championship and we are going to be a contender for years to come.
It stings but it will be a good experience lesson for us, and i am looking forward to the offseason transactions and draft picks.
