Enemy Reaction: Seahawks Year in Review - 2012

By Mookie Alexander@mookiealexander Aug 28, 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 reached the 2012 season. Russell Wilson was named the starter after beating Matt Flynn in preseason competition. His rookie season — and Seattle’s season in general — got off to a rocky start. What followed from December 2nd onward was the start of something truly special... but it was a bitter end to a magical ride.
