I cannot imagine being a fan of a team that has this much that went right for them for so long

[@cptrex8274]

Pov I'm a seahawks fan

[@ryancrouse5790]

It was a great time to be a Hawks fan…until it wasn’t anymore….sigh. So much left unfinished.

[@evergreenrider]

So long? Hawks were not a good team for decades. This is all relatively recent success.

[@garrisonsides]

​@@ryancrouse5790 at least ur not a panthers fan😭

[@kesakary]

@@ryancrouse5790 truth. I haven't watched since 2020. Only recognized Lockett and Metcalf, while watching the 49er game. Just isn't the same

[@Dkmo94]

That Max Unger-Jimmy Graham trade was the beginning of the end personnel-wise. I still don't understand how you get rid of your ONLY pro-bowl, all-pro lineman (a Center at that) in order to turn Jimmy f-ing Graham into a rush-blocker. Amazing video

[@otf7466]

This is exactly where it went wrong. Right behind the 1 yard line. I did an analysis paper on that trade in my high school sports writing class. What's crazy is that trade sent our oline rankings from an average of 14th in the league to dead last 2015-2018. Our line is just finally starting to recover. That one trade caused so many sacks and less rushing yards for Lynch.

[@MoronicIndvidual]

Max Unger really helped solidify the Saints O-Line and kick started the eventual run of more Saints success, funny how things work

[@Dkmo94]

@Moronic Individual Exactly what I'm talking about. The 'hawks been notorious for their horrible o-line for at least a decade. Unger was the only one we had that could even sniff Hall Of Fame level, and he kept the entire line together. Moved to yall and kept making magic while our o-line turned into a sieve. I learned to value tf out of linemen after that trade 😭

[@picklespandaohyeah]

Marshawn stiffarming his teammates so that they do a very reserved handshake after that td is so fuckn cool

[@tw8paskel241]

Damn I did not expect such a small channel to have this good videos. Keep it up bro you'll make it sometime

[@MichaelMiller-tm2os]

That Lynch run is still my all time favorite football play. And I am a Vikings fan.

[@cjfernandez9089]

I’m a saints fan… it’s an impressive run but our defense was asscheeks that year.

[@N8R_Quizzie]

Thanks for spending so much time on Michael Dickson. Everybody loves Dicko Mode

[@justmaxproductions]

punters deserve some time to shine

[@N8R_Quizzie]

@@justmaxproductions you're an Astros fan stfu Edit: you're alright. On the better end of the Astros fan spectrum.

[@rolyrod69]

“Decaf Metcalf” lolol 😂

[@reidye]

I’m the best corner in the game is burned into my brain forever and I barely watch football. It was just so iconic when it happened.

[@hhtptai]

Super Bowl XLIX has haunted me for years and I'm not even a Seahawks fan.

[@thomasshortis5562]

You should apply to work for secret base. I can tell you got inspiration from them and you and jon bois would make some crazy videos! Keep up the good work on this channel its amazing

[@justmaxproductions]

I will when I graduate college, that's a long way away tho

[@evergreenrider]

5 games into the 2022 season, I now question how much that fateful pass was Pete's call.

[@billmcg1676]

You make great videos. Nice presentation style and the sarcastic sense of humor is awesome. I'm always laughing along.

[@justmaxproductions]

I'm not that sarcastic

[@i_fuze_hostages6]

As a saints fan I’m not even mad at the beastquake

[@1323GamerTV]

Damn who woulda thought I a channel with 31 subs would become one of my favorites. Keep it up bro, ill share some vids with friends

[@justmaxproductions]

Thanks for the kind words

[@GranTyrant]

I'm not even a Seattle fan but I lost my shit when Carroll decided to throw that ball instead of giving it to Lynch. I was around a bunch of non sports fans and they didn't understand how monumentally foolish that decision was

[@HelloWorld492]

Well you're wrong about that. He gave Wilson the option to go with a pass or a run play when the call was sent down and Russell did a Russell thing and threw the pick.

[@kesakary]

It was a sad moment. 💔

[@iamgoodatmadden]

This is such good quality for a channel with (32 now 33 subs since I subbed) would be such high quality. I can't wait for it to explode

[@justmaxproductions]

Thanks!

[@uttermanbo]

Hey man, Browns, Lions, Jaguars ,Texans and Falcons fans would all love a downfall. They've never been to the top. Bengals, Bills, Titans, Chargers, Vikings and Cardinals fans haven't either. But they have been near it very recently, and hopes of getting back. As an Eagles fan I can take the jokes. I'll always enjoy that Super Bowl win over New England.

[@mrf19741]

I'm a Lifelong Eagles fan too, Bro! PREACH!

[@brodysievertson7053]

I honestly thought this was one of the best composed videos I have ever seen. Keep up the good work

[@kerrycoley6551]

I played for the orange tornadoes in high school lol shot out to new Jersey I always remember our coach telling us we had a nfl football team

[@aigoorng9320]

Your videos are amazing. Glad to have discovered them.

[@hostility3404]

You got good content man. Always watch during my break at work. Keep it up.

[@PierreGHedgehog]

love how these downfall videos are basically just collapse except featuring teams that arent on collapse yet

[@justmaxproductions]

they stole 2 of my ideas!

[@seattle_shinebox]

In that second super bowl Lane blew out his knee on the INT. Having an injured Simon in was easy pickens for Brady & the DEF was Swiss cheese.

[@Bluestormize]

Would love to see you look at AFL stuff since you like Michael so much XD Love the content, and this is from an Aussie that doesn't watch 2 out of the 3 sports you cover

[@urmanascrewed]

As they say Not For Long (NFL). The 2020 season was interesting, not the Legion of Boom anymore, but the team was considered a title threat. LA and Aaron Donald destroyed them in the first round though :(

[@Aj_Ohtani]

You should collab with secret base, you got mad talent

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

Always thought Drew Stanton would be the best QB of his Draft Class. Funny thing is...he was. 2007 was a Brutal QB Draft.

[@truejacksonveep]

The Vikings only played one game at TCF after the Dome collapse in 2010, which you reference. But that was when two home games were left on their schedule. They first played against the Giants in Detroit and then the Bears on MNF at TCF, where Favre was knocked out. They played all of 2011, 2012, and 2013 in the Dome. While they did end up playing two whole seasons at TCF in 2014 and 2015 due to the Dome being demolished to make way for US Bank Stadium, the 2015 WCG was five full seasons after the Dome collapsed. Meaning they had two entirely different reasonings for playing at TCF. Even though that game in 2010 was what proved moving to TCF temporarily was feasible while a new stadium was constructed. Let's do some basic research if including simple things like that.

[@justmaxproductions]

basic research is too hard

[@truejacksonveep]

@@justmaxproductions I'll give you that. Just giving you some grief. I've been on a binge of your videos the last few days and thoroughly enjoy it if I felt the need to comment on that minuscule of a detail lmao.

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

I forgot Devin Hester was even on the Seahawks. Dude had one of shortest but most Dominant Primes in NFL History, not counting One Year Wonders.

[@johnchedsey1306]

That 2014 team had a stupid amount of luck go their way, all culminating in that Kearse catch near the goal line. And then, all the luck went away with the most famous interception in super bowl history. Honestly, the team just wasn't as interesting afterwards. Something magical left that night.

[@sgt.chad304tharmored7]

This ^

[@samwansbone2790]

Quite ironic that the Seahawks have gotten better since trading Wilson

[@justmaxproductions]

Geno Smith > Russell Wilson imo

[@rexblade504]

No mention of the Allen Hurns injury during the 2018 wildcard game? They also showed a replay of that.

[@justmaxproductions]

didn't want to redo that particular bit

[@jerrius251]

If i'm not mistaken i think Jeremy Lane broke his arm that same play he caught the pick

[@TheRussianZombie]

Wish that the Broncos didn’t choke in 2013

[@pace91]

Isnt that goaline interception pass interference ive always thought ut should've been called

[@justmaxproductions]

I don't think it was, they both went for it and Butler just got to it first

[@cptrex8274]

I'm a seahawks fan 14:34 so the slow motion was not necessary

[@antbanks415]

they were extremely lucky.

[@qboz2123]

That play still makes me sick to my stomach...

[@kwempy90]

What is this, the 60s

[@justmaxproductions]

I lied it was actually the 2010s

[@SuperMutant2099]

Not running with Lynch will always make me mad. Not as a seahawks fan. I just hate cheating New England and Tom Brady. I hate seeing them win. I have said this before on other video that play makes no sense if you had used your last time out on previous run. You still had a time-out left. Lynch being monster he was on the goal. Made no sense. Even if you didn't make it you still would have had a chance.

[@DaNxYsmells007]

Everyone laughs at seattle and M. Lynch but it was Wilson who threw the ball in doubble coverage aging one of the best CB. A scrambler QB he could of down anything! I bet he chose $$$ over another rong

[@SuperMutant2099]

@@DaNxYsmells007 I don't laugh at lynch. Not his fault they didn't run. Its whoever called the play's fault. He could have thrown out of bounds. Better things to do then pass it

[@antbanks415]

decent video but you added unnecessary fluff.

[@justmaxproductions]

lemme guess, first video?

[@user-cv8qe9ru8c]

Seriously almost lost me with the word "dynasty". No they have 1 ring. Not a dynasty does that make. Also the 12th man is the stupidest thing ever.

[@mrf19741]

FACTS! I've always said that before the Legion Of Boom Era, you couldn't find a Seahawks Fan in the middle of Times Square at noon with a flashlight.

[@m8x425]

We just call it the Bandwagon. I knew it Fever Pitch when single moms were posting selfies of themselves online in Stupid-Chickens jerseys. Stupid-Chickens fans would then take to face-book & twiter to pick arguments with fans of other teams..... while claiming to be born a fan. Gimme a break, seriously..... I'm in Seattle and these mnf'ers were no where to be found until the Seahawks clinched the playoffs in 2013. The after SB48.... all of a sudden everyone was a lifelong Stupid-Chickens fan. You really wanna know how stupid these Stupid-Chicken fans are? Once the automobile shortage hit, they all went and traded their cards in for used cars that cost more than a new car at MSRP. Guess what.... Now there's no more cars on the road with Seahawks stickers or SuperBowl 48 plate holders.

[@doodooswaggy3825]

"Dynasty" is a bit strong for one whole ring.
