Hubby and i were saying the same thing last night.  Russell has developed into a very good qb and those passes were works of art ♡

 

AND thanks to his great play, my Chargers still have a chance to be 1st in the AFC west.  Though a slim one...  this girl is a Raider fan next week.

 

The Raiders will be spent after beating the Broncos tonight in their last game at the Coliseum, less likely. Besides, it is not like Arrowhead is that difficult a place to play in the playoffs.

Living in Portland I get to watch the Seahawks all the time.  Wilson has been been a pretty good QB for quite some time.  He had a lot of help early in his career with a great defense and strong running game, but he broke the back of opponent's defenses with his scrambling to extend a play while throwing a great pass or just deciding to run it and pick up the first down.  He extended drives on a regular basis in the 4th quarter and brought the Seahawks back to win in a number of games.

 

He has also suffered a few injuries and when his ability to run/scramble is limited it really impacts his effectiveness.   

 

They really should be 2-0 in Superbowls.  One questionable play call at the goal line and a great read and jump on the ball by Malcom Butler.

Russell Wilson is amazing but at times I think he is hamstrung from becoming one of the very best by the offense Seattle runs. Too many times it's 1st down run, 2nd down run, 3rd down Wilson scrambles for his life for 6 seconds and throws deep.

 

One of the most talented players in the game and a joy to watch. That being said the Seattle fanbase somehow has developed a hateful obsession with Andrew Luck and I don't understand it. They trash him and the two teams don't even play each other but every 4 years.

That's interesting to hear. As a Colts fan, I find it easy to root for Wilson, and as you say, he is fun to watch. The guy I find impossible to stomach is Pete Carroll, but that's another story.

What you said I noticed that too per comments on other Sites. That is why I do not root for Russell Wilson. Their fanbase wants Wilson to be better so bad that they find ways to bash Luck. It's because they came out in the same Draft. Wilson is a Very Good QB but so is Luck if not Great, and IMO Luck is better. I would say that if I wasn't a Colts fan. If Luck would've played for the Seahawks in 2013 and 2014, the Seahawks would've won both SB's with that D and Running game, JMO. As bad as I hate the Pats, I am glad Wilson only has 1 SB win and screwed up at the end in that SB. Seahawks fans already say 1-0, imagine 2-0.

Yeah, their fanbase seems to have inherited Wilson's short man complex. I still like him as a player, but their fans have something wrong with them for sure.

A typical reaction from a fan base that basically dealt with 30 years of suck and almost 40 before winning a Super Bowl.

 

That long pass from Andrew to TY that de-pantsed Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas probably didn’t help either.
