Seahawks Beat the Jets

This game felt special in several ways, for one main reason:  this is Coach Mike Holmgren's last home game as head coach for the Seattle Seahawks.  It also happened to be against Brett Favre, former protege of Holmgren's.  It also happened to snow throughout.

The players wanted the win; the defense played very well.  Seneca Wallace ran the offense efficiently and played a tight game.  Yes, he could probably start in this league.  I don't know that he would ever be a great starter, but he's at least in that John Kitna / Trent Dilfer range of competant professional quarterback.  Plus he's more athletic than either of those guys, which gives him a definite edge.

Anyway, it felt good to have an important game to watch.  It was great to have your team play well for an important game.  And, quite importantly, it was great to win that game.

I'm not ashamed to say I was crying (yep, tears flowed) as Coach Holmgren took his walk around the stadium; thousands of us stood and waved or applauded.

This is the sort of experience that makes me treasure my season tickets, even during a 4 - 11 season.
