[@Ironcabbit]

After that NFC Championship contest against the 49ers, the Super Bowl was just a victory lap for the 2013 Seahawks. Sorta like how after the 7-game comeback against the New York Yankees, the World Series was for the 2004 Boston Red Sox. Poor Cardinals never had a chance.

[@starmaster191]

I didn't pay attention to NFL football until the 2014 nfc Championship game (in January 2015) but even I remember (as a person born and raised in WA State.) that the 'Hawks were going up against the Denver Broncos in the super bowl that year. I remember just having an intuition, a feeling, even tho keep in mind that at the time I knew next to nothing about NFL football, that the 'Hawks were going to win it. I remember people were shooting off fireworks after the 'Hawks won the super bowl.

I’m a die hard Packers fan but this whole Seattle teams was phenomenal!! I gotta give credit where credit is due!! Even to this day The Legion Of Boom is still the best defense in NFL history and I stand behind that %100. The physicality they played with and how they just dominated you on everything single play is absolutely insane. There’s been some really great defenses throughout NFL history but The Legion Of Boom is still the best ever. They were just built different. This defense would put fear into their opponents. Definitely will remember this team but especially this defense forever. Elite defense > Elite Offense.

In August of 2013, I was having dinner with my girlfriend at a little dive bar in the shadow of Quest Field, and we started talking about how unexpectedly great the 2012 season was, and what the upcoming season would bring. There was something in the air around Seattle that year, because I had this feeling that it was finally gonna be “our year.” It sounds ridiculous to say that, but I had that feeling all year long, and it was absurdly surreal that it actually was our year. Any other Hawks fans living in Seattle in 2013 have that same feeling? I tell ya, it was something in the air. But later that same year, they opened the first weed stores in Washington, so maybe that’s what was in the air, and my feeling was merely a coincidence.

[@SeattleRaindrop206]

No, it’s not a coincidence. I had that EXACT same feeling in 2013.🙋🏻‍♀️ It just felt different, right?!! I flew my mom down to SF when we played the 9ers. I remember some 49 fans hitting on me, but in a mean way (because I was wearing the wrong colors) but I talked smack back… “Yeah yeah, we lost today but watch who wins the SB this year.” It just popped out of my mouth. I know everyone rolls their eyes and says, “suuuuure. You ‘knew’.” But I did. I knew! Same as you, I knew it was our year. ….And what happened? Low and behold, we smashed, beat the brakes off of, annihilated, scrambled, ripped to shreds, the BEST scoring offense of all time in SB 48. Hehee!

The LOB is always mentioned first and for damn good reason (Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Bam Bam Kam Chancellor, Brandon Browner, Byron Maxwell, Walter Thurmond, DeShawn Shead, etc) but this squad was deep all over on both sides of the ball. A DLine rotation of Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, Chris Clemons, Red Bryant, Brandon Mebane, Tony McDaniel, Clinton McDonald, Benson Mayowa. Linebackers with Bobby Wagner, KJ Wright, Bruce Irvin, Malcom Smith. A highly underrated group of pass catchers with Doug Baldwin, JermIne Kearse, Golden Tate, Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin, Zach Miller. Russell Okung, Max Unger, James Carpenter, JR Sweezy, Breno Giacomini, Paul McQuistan on the OLine. Obviously a backfield with the great Marshawn Lynch and Russel Wilson (also a great fullback in Michael Robinson). And u had 2 premier special teams guys with Stephen Hauschka and Jon Ryan.
