:I don't want to troll on the Patriots win at all. I think New England played a solid game all the way through Super Bowl 49. I am not any kind of fan of the Pats, and they are my most hated team of the AFC, even before the Super Bowl. I have to admit, though... they showed up.
It isn't all bad for the Seahawks Nation. Let's consider some of the good things.
1. The 12th Man will be better next year - Although we love all our fans, we noticed the noise was a bit deflated (get it?) this year due to the "bandwagon fans," for lack of a better term. Hopefully this trend will change due to the loss, the noise will come back, and we will reclaim our loudest stadium title. This could mean a drop in ticket prices. Don't expect a major change, but hope for the best. Those offensive penalties on the visiting team need to make a comeback.
2. Everyone Loves A Loser - The smack talk won't stop, but maybe it will be reduced. Winning again is awesome, but it creates more haters. But this time, the Mighty Casey struck out. Rocky Balboa lost. If you're a fan of Game of Thrones, you remember The Red Viper vs. The Mountain. Super Bowl 49 was like watching it all over again. Russell Wilson took had the giant at his mercy, about to deliver the death blow. He got cocky, refused to run it until the Pats admitted to cheating, and then the Pats imploded his face. Were we cocky? Yes. But we were also mortal, and non-fans can relate to us after this loss. This loss may have created a little less hatred of the 12s. That's cool, because it feels like everybody hates us. They hate us more than the goddamn Patriots! The guys that got caught cheating, then lied about it, then had the NFL help them lie. What the hell?
3. Cap Space - Yeah, anybody would rather have the win than extra salary cap space. Still, it got a lot easier to keep a lot of key players. I'd imagine Wilson is smart enough to take a hit on his contract to support the team, too. We all know we want Lynch back for probably two more years, and that is more likely to happen now.
Time to move into the tangent universe in which Bevell was fired before the Super Bowl, and Beast Mode ran in for the touchdown. What is that world like?
No doubt this is still a solid game played by both teams with plenty of shit talk on all sides after the game. People hate the Seahawks now more than ever. The Patriots troll everything with the luckiest catch in Super Bowl history won it for the Seahawks, and they had us until then.
First, Marshawn Lynch is MVP all the way. What lost the game for the Patriots? Suddenly, the talk is of how Brady's two interceptions prove he's done. Cheatin' Bill got a little too carried away throwing the ball against the best defense in the NFL. Just as easily as Brady was the MVP of the Super Bowl, he becomes the one who lost it for them. He's finished. He can't perform without cheating. He's overrated. Two interceptions in the Super Bowl? Damn, Brady. Exposed. And Malcolm Butler? He just allowed the most ridiculous catch ever that threw the game for the Pats. Good luck in the CFL next year, buddy.
And of course at the parade, Richard Sherman doesn't pick up a sign with Edleman's face, because nobody cares about a wide receiver that can't catch the ball. Beast Mode doesn't pick up a shirt mocking Blount, because nobody cares about a washed up back that may not be back next year. The trolls of the world continue to talk about how Seattle has no class without noticing the irony of their statement. In the strangest turn of events in this universe, Brady admits to being a cheater. The NFL properly responds by banning him from the NFL for life, stripping him of all records, and putting an asterisk beside every Patriots' Super Bowl.
