Russell Wilson Met With HEAVY Boos For Return To Seattle With Broncos | Pat McAfee Reacts

[@ItsCrawdaddy]

Dont forget the fact that there was a mini reunion for Seattle last night... of players that all may have not liked Russ. Marshawn, Doug Baldwin, Sherman, Sydney Rice, KJ Wright.. All there. Sherm and Marshawn were also helping out at practice last week, because they feel like they can walk into the building again.

I grew in the Seattle area, and I'll tell you that when he was Captaining our team, especially in the early Legion of Boom days, there was a very special energy towards those players. Russell was a part of that, but his ego seems developed to the point that he believes he's better than everyone in the arena, including the 12th man. I really liked seeing the original Legion of Boom back in the building. I hope some of them come back as coaches or advisors for our new line-up. Go 'Hawks!

[@Jordan-Ramses]

He's not the player he used to be either. He used to be explosive running the ball. He used to make guys look bad trying to tackle him. Remember when he ran through the entire Arizona Cardinals team on Thursday night? That Russell is gone. I was a huge Russell Wilson fan from all the way back to college. This isn't the same guy.

I don't understand why anyone thought Wilson would get a warm welcome in Seattle. It's not the same as when Brady left or Manning left their teams. Wilson forced his way out of Seattle he didn't want to be there so the fans booed him. How is that so hard to understand? How is that surprising?

[@Chipdipism]

Because if you follow the game you’d know that the Seahawks already tried to trade him 4 years ago and that broke the relationship. Imagine having to play for someone actively shopping you. It became toxic and he asked out. Y’all think the best QB in your teams history just wanted to leave?

[@bigkrutherford]

@@Chipdipism I do follow the game. If you actually lived out here and paid attention to the daily goings on you'd know how much of a primadonna he became. They ALMOST traded him for the number one pick in the draft, and ultimately didn't, boo hoo. The Packers ALMOST traded Aaron Rodgers, and all he did was go win an MVP. The franchise picked Wilson over their ALL-WORLD defense, was that not enough? Or how about the big contract? Wilson became more about his image and brand, wanted weapons (because Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf aren't apparently) and threw his OLine under the bus, despite most of the sacks on Wilson tend to be from him not seeing over the OLine and holding the ball.

[@Chipdipism]

@@bigkrutherford notice when all that started happening? After they tried to trade him. When he was all y’all had. Your organization did all of that and for the fans to take their side shows how disillusioned you are as a fan base.

What?!? Yes, Wilson did ask to leave, but he was forced to due to a clear lack of support in beefing up the O-line and lack of involvement in O schemes, something that all 10+ year veteran QBs have earned and received. He had been quietly asking for these two simple things for years and it only came out once he got tired and asked to leave.

I honestly felt so much better when he got traded because that rumored drama was over. We aren't burdened with Wilson consequences and we aren't burdened with expectations.

It goes as far back as when he was a rookie really, Go read ANY news story from Wilsons first three years or so... Players hated him in the locker room and some even called him soft and said his fakeness brought down the locker room. Some other more radical people (Sherman) even went as far as to exclaim that Wilson wasn't "black enough" to be a part of the Seahawks.

[@nathanielchapman1829]

The difference between Wilson and guys like Manning or Brady is that as the years went on it became harder and harder to believe Wilson. It became harder to actually believe he was a Seahawk rather than a Team #3. Manning and Brady not only earned the respect of their previous teams, but they weren't fake, or come off as fake. Wilson has been nothing but cliche phrases in everything he says. It feels like he is less about winning as a team, and more about making ESPN highlight plays, and building the Wilson name. I would say when so many Seahawks legends who played with Wilson seem to have a distain for the guy.......it kind of validates the 12's booing. Wilson didn't leave with a desire to stay. He wanted to leave. He wants to be a celebrity QB, and that's fine. But being a celebrity QB doesn't necessarily win championships, and it more than likely breeds a self centered ego. Something I think Wilson might have now. Last night Wilson got to play the kind of ball he wanted Seattle to let him play: lots of passing and less running. The guy ran one time for 2 yards!!! He wants to be a pocket passer and he's not one. I digress. With all that said, I believe in the long run, the Seahawks made the right choice, and the 12's had every right to boo like they did. Go Hawks!

Oregon resident who gets force-fed 17 boring Seahawks games a year by the networks here. I 100% expected Wilson to be booed. He's a self-promoter (own-jersey-wearing, "Let's Ride!") who wanted to get paid to the moon and the stars despite being undersized and slowing and aging and the team steadily going downhill - who was then fondled and adulated by the media for four months straight as the missing piece to Denver's Superbowl-ready (sic.) team. Witness the way that Seattle Mariners fans responded to Wilson's kindred spirit, Alex Rodriguez, who left in free agency to the Rangers for a bazillion dollars over ten years - he was booed lustily for every plate appearance for the rest of his career so far as I am aware. Compare and contrast to Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson, and Ichiro, who remained loved and respected. So "Let's Ride!" Russ got the Payrod treatment at the league orchestrated MNF return to Seattle - as expected. And he will get similar going forward. Then watch, by way of contrast, how Bobby Wagner is treated next time he comes home.

This right here is exactly what I've been saying since I started seeing people complain about the booing. It's football last time I checked. And the 12s at home in Lumen Field are one of the most intense and loud game day environments you can face in the NFL. They can literally affect the game with how loud they get, and you saw an example of that last night with the Broncos not being able to communicate at times and racing with the play clock to get the snap off on time. And people think they shouldn't boo? Cmon now. As a lifelong Seahawks fan, Russ was amazing for most of the 10 years he was in Seattle, and he will go down as arguably the best QB in Seahawks history, on and off the field. He was a pillar of the Community and probably still is with everything he's done for the city. I'll always clap for Wilson and wish him the best of luck, except on game day! After the game it's all GG's and handshakes. That's just called being competitive

That goal line interception was more a great play by butler than it was a bad throw from Russell Wilson. In the end they should have ran the ball.

[@roycollins712]

It’s ok Russ put booing in his game visualizations.

[@Eimi.Signo.]

People have been blaming Pete Carrol for the boos. No. They don't know how Seattle fans are built. Why are they so fanatical? Because it's not a business relationship between the players and the fans. That's the job of the front office. On the field, in the stadium, out in the community, that's a relationship. That's personal. Some relationships don't work out because life (aka business) gets in the way. But sometimes they leave because someone else looks too good to pass up. And this isn't a football thing in Seattle. Griffey left to be closer to his family. That's a good reason to leave. Ichiro left towards the end of a contract to go to a team who had a chance to win a World Series. That's fair. Both were welcomed back with open arms. Alex Rodriguez left for money. He was booed the rest of his career in Seattle. Bobby Wagner will be welcomed back with open arms. He didn't leave, he was cut. But Russ said he loved Seattle, said he never wanted to leave, said it was his home, but then told us all there were four other teams he would be willing to leave them for. He had a no-trade clause, he couldn't be kicked to the curb. He had to walk willingly out that door to greener pastures, and that's what he chose to do. And he did so with a goodbye to the fans who loved and embraced him and supported him that didn't even fill a whole Tweet. Seattle fans never forget being played like that.

Blah blah. Grow up. Russ was getting demolished over there. Now look at y’all. It was time for a change stop living in the past

[@dallind8764]

It’s simply because Russ acts like hes a God. Dude acts like he’s this humble moral giant, then turns around and acts like we should be kissing his feet for the time he’s spent here. Don’t get me wrong, Russ is great and he played a major role in Seattles success the last 10 years. But he’s not the only one that brought us a SB. He had one of the greatest defenses to ever play the game and a legendary running back behind him. Say what you want about Pete and Schneider, but you can’t argue that they’re not competent. Russ shows up and demands more say and influence, they hire an OC of his choosing, they draft DK. Russ roasts the OL, even though half of those sacks are on him for extending plays too long, not stepping up in the pocket, not hitting receivers down the middle of the field and trying to be the main character and force things. He wants to let “himself cook”. The problem is letting Russ cook without a killer defense or stellar backfield didn’t work. He refused to fit the scheme of the team. Football success rides on team cohesiveness and success not a single QB with a God complex. Russ will tell you over and over through corny quotes that he plays for the team or he plays for God but his attitude and history doesn’t back it up. Mix all that with demanding his way out while lying about it in public, the obnoxious let’s ride garbage, his backhanded statements after he left and the corny one liners and you have a pretty good reason to get roasted your entire time coming back to Seattle. Not to mention what the mini reunion of all the players coming back as soon as Russ leaves and the pettiness of former players tells us. Russ is big on optics and image. He presents himself as “the guy” but he doesn’t back it up in action and fans picked up on it. Seattle was Seattle because of Russ… but Russ was Russ because of Seattle.

[@chaz764]

As a Seahawks fan it seems like yeh majority of us appreciate Russ and will always be grateful for his greatness and what he did for the team and the community, however, the trade leaks and all of the things that he said prior to the trade is what left a bitter taste. He never really shows how he really feels he’s always neutral and in a lot of cases that’s good, but late in the season, telling us he wants to stay and win here just to up and leave bc he wants a better situation. That’s why he got booed, Russ likely won’t play in Seattle again in his career, but when he eventually returns he’ll get the love and appreciation that he deserves.

[@semionjohnson1351]

Nah y’all never appreciated Russ y’all made that very clear on Monday

[@epa316]

Tom Brady won New England six super bowls. In Seattle, Russ rode the LOB to one, and literally threw away another. He wanted out, he's the enemy now.

[@amak8935]

Russell choked out and was afraid to call even a timeout. Choke at the 1 yard line 2 times. I guess history repeats itself huh? 🤣

[@crisantechris]

How did Russ choke at the 1 yard line last night? Was he personally responsible for those 2 fumbles now?

[@amak8935]

@@crisantechris well, he acted like a puppy and saw the D-line stacking on the line but still went for a middle run like his RB is Marshawn Lynch and not a guy who barely 220 pounds for the first play. then the second one he sees the same look again and went for the same play but with another lighter RB facing a stacked D-line AGAIN. multiple conversions done right with screen plays but he didn't even call for it while everyone is stacked behind the line and the left is wide open for it. so, you can blame the coach as always but don't tell me that Wilson is an elite QB when he can't even alert the call or call for a freaking timeout when needed instead of relying on a 1st year head coach.

[@darkxzero13]

TIL Boston treats its former players better than Seattle 😅 imo Broncos are still pretenders until they can beat Mahomes, but love him or hate him, Russell Wilson was one of the best QBs Seattle's ever had. Definitely wasn't expecting that much booing during his entrance, still awesome to see NFL clips on PMS

[@ZoSoDC]

Theres a lot more behind why we boo'd Russ. He acted like he won one and took us to two super bowls when in reality he was carried by our defense and Marshawn Lynch. Russ always wants it to be all about him and that dissolved our dynasty and left us with an overpaid, out of his prime quarterback. 12's constantly heard how "mistreated" Russ is when all we did was cater to him and it hurt us. Broncos fans have a lot to learn this year. GO HAWKS

[@ryansrealestate8270]

If there's one thing we know about Russ, it's that he has trouble scoring from the 1.
