Rub some dirt on it

Time to toughen up, Seattle, shed the defeatist attitude and really lean in to the range of possibilities in this chaotic year in which the Seahawks have nothing to lose, not even their draft position

OK. Looks like it’s time for a pep talk, and while I hate to tell other people how to feel, I really hate the defeatist attitude that I’ve detected in the wake of Sunday’s overtime loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

You know, this sense that Seattle’s bubble has burst. That playoff teams don’t lose to the Saints, the Falcons and the Raiders as the Seahawks have this year. That Seattle wasn’t even supposed to be good this season so they’ve already kind of overachieved and we’re playing with house money.

Does that sound like you? Well, knock it off.
