Update: Hey, good for the guys. I'm sour. It was ugly and against a terrible team. But screw me. This team has never, ever quit and I've never once felt anything but proud to be a Seahawks fan.
. . .
Seattle won and in so doing proved they're one of the worst teams in football.
Game Ball:
John Carlson: Six targets, five receptions, three first downs and 76 yards.
Something else after the jump.
Falling Stars
Do you remember still the falling stars that like swift horses through the heavens raced and suddenly leaped across the hurdles of our wishes--do you recall? And we did make so many! For there were countless numbers of stars: each time we looked above we were astounded by the swiftness of their daring play, while in our hearts we felt safe and secure watching these brilliant bodies disintegrate, knowing somehow we had survived their fall.

Donner Party
Forsaken, fucking in the cold, eating each other, lost runny noses, complaining all the time like so many people that we know

So Now?
the words have come and gone, I sit ill. the phone rings, the cats sleep. Linda vacuums. I am waiting to live, waiting to die. I wish I could ring in some bravery. it's a lousy fix but the tree outside doesn't know: I watch it moving with the wind in the late afternoon sun. there's nothing to declare here, just a waiting. each faces it alone. Oh, I was once young, Oh, I was once unbelievably young!
