Road Warriors?

Wow.  It's hard to sum it up with any more words than that.  It was simply one of the best road performances we've seen from the Seahawks in quite some time, and best of all, today's 36-25 win over the Giants in New York was notable as much for opportunities missed as it will be for the final score. 
The Seahawks should have won this won easily, but two early fumbles inside the 5 yard line, a bad interception by Tavaris Jackson that led to 3 points for the Giants just before halftime, and TEN penalties allowed New York to hang around.  That's what makes this win so remarkable.  This wasn't a flukey win.  Time and time again the Hawks faced adversity and they just kept fighting. 

I'll have a lot to say about this one.  First I need to watch the tape again, and focus in a little closer on some individuals I believe deserve to be singled out.  But for now, I'm just going to ignore the doubters and revel in the moment. 

Forget about draft position, I want to win.  This team looks capable of winning more than most experts projected, and there are signs that the foundation of a good team are being put in place.  It's fun to watch this young team grow before our eyes. 

Today my Hawks played well on the road, against a quality opponent, and it wasn't handed to them. 

In this moment, for this fan, that's enough.
