The 2013 Seahawks did not achieve greatness until just before 10pm EST, on February 2nd, 2014. The season was over, the Lombardi was ours, blue and green confetti rained across Metlife Stadium and in Seahawks fans’ dreams everywhere. And while the actual quality of that team would have been little changed by a loss of that Super Bowl, our perception of it would undoubtedly be different. The 2005 Seahawks had a nearly identical point differential and lost a terribly officiated Super Bowl by 11 points and how many fans view that team as “great”? Winning the Super Bowl did not make the 2013 team great, but it let us fans remember the trials and tribulations of that season with the knowledge that it all works out in the end.
When will the Seahawks be great again?
