NFL Playoffs: Seattle Seahawks Win!!!

Hey gang! It's been a long day, but a very happy one because the Seattle Seahawks won their first game of the playoffs against the Washington Redskins (35-14)!!!!!

Hawks sink Washington 35-14, face Packers next - Seattle Times article.

I watched the game (on the TV) from start to finish and it was an exciting and at times nerve-wracking 3 1/2 hours. The Hawks came out strong and really only slipped a bit in the 3rd quarter when they allowed the Redskins to score, but they regrouped and mounted a second surge in the 4th quarter. The "12th Man" (the name of the Seahawks fans) was out in full force and totally rocking Qwest Field in downtown Seattle.

Next Saturday the Seahawks will face the Green Bay Packers! I really hope this year is the team's turn to go all the way and win the Superbowl at last!!!!! Yaaaaaaaay!!!!!!! :D

Yep, I'm a Seahawks fan. *g* Been one since I was a young kid and used to watch the games on TV with my dad. I was a huge Steve Largent fan and at one time had a poster of him on my bedroom wall. Ah, those were the days... Now, I'm excited to see the team finally become a force to be reckoned with. They're still not respected by the rest of the country, but ask most Washingtonians and we love our Seahawks! Whoohoo! Go Hawks!!!
