Enemy Reaction: Seahawks Year in Review - 2011

By Mookie Alexander@mookiealexander Aug 27, 2019, 7:00am PDT

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’ve now entered the 2011 season. Another 7-9 season, only this time no postseason berth. It was a brutal 2-6 start to the year that turned into the Seahawks having feint wild card hopes by Week 16. Consider it the dawn of a new era, as we saw early glimpses of greatness from the likes of KJ Wright, Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, and Doug Baldwin. The team just needed a franchise quarterback, which they would get the following season. Until then, it was T-Jack time.
