This is a thread to discuss and vent our fears, frustrations and worries. As a fan who has served over thirty years of Hawkdum, I can tell you the toll has been heavy, with but only a few brief glimmering scintilla bursts of glory, we press on ever vigilant, our faith unwavering.

So here is not a list, just a collection of contributing factors to my chemical dependency. Feel free to add to it or by all means alleviate my worries with some insight, inside info or humorous musings of your own. And rest assured just like clockwork by our third pre-season game, I’ll like our chances, either as outright favorites for the division or as that mysterious dark-horse contender that emerges from mediocrity.

The WR’s, who’s going to be healthy/ in shape? Will Doug Baldwin have a sophomore slump?

Are we going to wear those bad ass Matte finish helmets, or the less cool glossy ones?

Madden13: Will they screw up our uni’s again? Will there be yet another -15% penalty attached to all Seahawk player ratings?

What to do about my recurring nightmares of Kam taking Earl and himself out, while trying to lay out a WR in a pre-season game?

The QB situation, sure it sounds good now, a known commodity in T-Jax, a wily former Green Bay backup and an underrated undersized prospect, but what were they saying about Kolb in AZ before the season started?

The O-Line, young, banged up, haven’t spent much time together. Are they just guys on a roster or a unit?

The Defense, Pet Carroll is a mad genius; will he tinker and mess it up? Are all these supposedly over drafted rookies ready to play in the NFL?
