Enemy Reaction: Seahawks Year in Review - 2010

Wild Card Playoffs - New Orleans Saints v Seattle Seahawks

2019 represents the tenth year of the Enemy Reaction series. It was initially titled “What The Losers Are Saying” back in 2009, then “The Morning Aftermath” in 2010, and the current title and format you’ve come to know and love was spawned in 2011.

So to commemorate this momentous occasion, over the next two weeks there will be a series of Enemy Reaction “year in review” specials that chronicle the entirety of the Pete Carroll era. We are going to skip the Jim Mora season because... well, I’m calling the shots, and I don’t want to relive that garbage.

Each year will have one (and only one) highlight from every game, with the corresponding game thread reactions. Unlike other Enemy Reactions, I am including the losses, so this is as comprehensive as it gets.

We’re starting off with the 2010 season. You get everything from “Big Balls Pete” to Charlie Whitehurst’s moment of glory... and Beastquake. Damn right there’s Beastquake. In their ten losses, not once did they have a win probability of at least 50% in the 2nd half. But these are Pete Carroll’s Seahawks, and somehow they were a win away from hosting the NFC Championship Game.
