Hats off to Seattle....

Overall I enjoyed my Seattle trip. The fans are friendly and courteous, more than willing to help me find my way around. They are passionate about their team, and who can blame them. They have a lot of heart, They absolutely are the better team and deserve to move on.

 

The stadium is loud, but I really don't know what the big deal is. Although it was louder than any Panthers home game I have been to, it was not as loud as the rival dome away games I have been to. I had no issues hearing on the field. I think it my be a really clever marketing ploy, but hey, seems to work. More power to them.

Pretty much what I expected.  They have an outstanding team and they have built their team into what we hope we will be able to in the near future.  Beautiful city.  I encourage anyone with an opportunity to take a vacation, to consider the Seattle area.  The people are nice and you will have a wonderful vacation.  Good game Seattle.  You have the better team and we know what we have to do to compete with you.  Thanks for the lesson.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
