Unfortunately for those who read the title, this post isn't about Beast Wars. If you want to leave, I understand.Luckily, you've come to the team at a good time. The team is on a winning streak and filled with good vibes. Mike Williams is making everyone smile with his reclaimation, which overshadows similar (though not as drastic) comebacks by Chris Clemons, Marcus Trufant, and Stacy Andrews.
As much as the Seahawks underperformed last season, that's how much they've overperformed this season. Every player is playing to the best of their ability with the possible exception of Earl Thomas and Aaron Curry, who have been quite good but have so much talent as to still have room to improve.
Honestly, there is very little in the way of a talent difference between this season and last. Sure, there is more promise as the roster's gotten much younger, but the on-field product right now is pretty similar. The real difference here is attitude: Pete Carroll has the Seahawks playing hard and beastly at all times and having a good time doing it, a stark contrast to Jim Mora's epically retarded coaching style.
The future is bright for the Seahawks thanks to Earl Thomas (and some others, but holy crap he's good), so look forward to it. But enjoy a possible playoff berth and first round loss this season as well.
Although I know some people disagree completely. I gotta say I agree with you. I like the attitude that Carroll has brought to the team. Seeing a coach so enthuzed about winning is refreshing. I love it when he high fives the players and jumps around. Neither Holmgren or Mora was much for positive emotions.
