Oh, wow, Scott.
I understand your disappointment. I do. The Seahawks lone Super Bowl appearance (in XL v. the Steelers) still makes most Seattleites seethe because of the officiating (which WAS subsequently topic of an apology from NFL and its officials).
But, seriously, "scripted"?!?! I think two guys can fake pro wrestling; I don't think 100 players CAN fake a football game.
It was a great game. The precision on the Morrah pass and the Williams TD pass from Hasselbeck were unbelievable, but also un-fakable. That 60+ yard run by Marshawn Lynch was one of the greatest football plays I've ever seen. Even at the end, I was pretty convinced that NOLA would succeed on the 2 point conversion and the onside kick. That they did neither was high drama.
I know it's no solace, but the unbridled and pure joy in the greater Seattle area over the last 24 hours has been amazing. Maybe bigger/better than the NFC championship, a UW bowl win or many other sports victories that were more "meaningful" but less expected.
