Let's argue about what day it is.....

I think it would take generations for the world to catch up, just like it did in basketball and baseball. But as I was saying, I understood mdiver's point, but it's inescapable. there's no team not playing in the NFL that could beat the Pittsburgh Steelers and it's just stupid to say otherwise.

So tell me the world competition they won.

Your argument is based on conjecture not fact.Assumption that by deduction they COULD be world champions, not actually winning a world championship.

When the Steelers win a WORLD competition they can claim to be world champions NOT when they win a domestic one. NFL is domestic. Simple.

This is real simple to wrap up, show me the WORLD competition they won, beating all competitors (as per your bold) and i will concede that they are world champions. Until then, they are domestic champions.

Having said that you concede that they are NOT world champions...cool. That was my only bone of contention.

It was a fucking awesome game though huh, i thought the steelers had it wrapped at half time but what a game.

Those were all great touchdowns by the Cardinals but was there some illegal help from Arizona OL Gandy holding Harrison on both touchdown plays.

Super Bowl XL: In every great story there has to be a villain and the Seahawks were cast as the villain out to spoil Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jerome Bettis storybook ending with the Super Bowl in his hometown of Detroit. Not given much of a chance the Seahawks were 11-point underdogs. However, early on it was the Seahawks defense that was the story as they shutdown Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger early taking a 3-0 lead late into the 2nd Quarter. However the Steelers offense would finally break through at the 2-minute warning as Roethlisberger snuck the ball just over the goaline. However, some replays showed the ball did not cross at all as the Steelers took a 7-3 lead. Before the half there would be more controversy as a Matt Hasslebeck to Darrell Jackson TD pass was ruled out of bounds, although some replays showed Jackson did get both feet down in the endzone. The play would not be reviewed as Josh Brown missed a 54-yard FG attempt at the end of the first half. After the Steelers extended the lead to 14-3 on a 75-yard TD run to begin the 3rd Quarter, the Seahawks began to see the game slipping away as the Steelers got the ball back and appeared to be driving in for another score, when Kelly Herndon intercepted a Roethlisberger pass and returned in 75 yards to set the Seahawks up for TD as Hasslebeck hit Jerramy Stevens on a 16-yard pass to cut the deficit to 14-10. However, in the 4th Quarter the questionable calls from the referees would continue to mount Hasslebeck had a pass intercepted by Ike Taylor and was called for an unsportsmanlike penalty on a low block. The Steelers would take quick advantage of the Seahawks who seemed dazed and confused by the calls all game as Antwaan Randle-El hit the game's MVP Hines Ward on 43-yard TD pass that gave the Steelers a 21-10 win leaving the Seahawks with a bitter taste in their mouth as they flew home, while taking parting shots at the game's officials.

2006: Coming off their first trip ever to the Super Bowl the Seahawks once again got off to a strong start winning their first three games. However a foot injury sidelined MVP Shaun Alexander, and slowed down the Seahawks offense significantly. After a 37-6 loss on the road to the Chicago Bears, the Seahawks returned home and found themselves trailing the St. Louis Rams 21-7 at halftime. However, led by Matt Hasselbeck who threw three touchdown passes the Seahawks were able to rally and win the game 30-28 on a 54-yard Field Goal by Josh Brown with four seconds left. A week later the Seahawks 12-game home winning streak would come to an end as Matt Hasselbeck joined Shaun Alexander on the sideline with a sprained knee as the Seahawks were beaten by the Minnesota Vikings 31-13. After a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Seahawks used their defense to get back in the win column beating the Oakland Raiders 16-0 behind nine sacks. In their third straight game without Matt Hasselbeck, the Seahawks used another late field goal by Josh Brown to beat the Rams at home 24-22. Shaun Alexander would return for a road game against the San Francisco 49ers, However he was limited to just 37 yards as the 49ers won the game 20-14. A week later Matt Hasselbeck would return as Alexander rushed for 201 yards leading the Seahawks to a 34-24 win over the Green Bay Packers. A week later in Denver, Josh Brown played hero again hitting a 50-yard in a 23-20 win over the Broncos. At 8-4 the Seahawks appeared to be cruising to a third straight division title. However, three straight losses had the Seahawks needing a win in their final game just to hold on. The Seahawks would rise to the occasion beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-7 as their offense and defense both played well on the road. Facing the Dallas Cowboys at home the Seahawks found themselves trailing in the 4th Quarter 20-13, as their offense seemed stuck in neutral. However, when Cowboys WR fumbled into the enddzone the Seahawks suddenly had new life with a safety. The Seahawks would take full advantage scoring on a 37-yard Matt Hasselbeck to Jeremy Stevens TD pass to take a 21-20 lead. However, after a failed two-point conversion the Seahawks had to hold on for dear life. With the Cowboys driving it looked as if it would be heartbreak for the Seahawks, as the Cowboys had an easy 19-yard FG with 1:19 left. However, the snap was botched by Cowboys QB Tony Romo, allowing the Seahawks hold on, and win 21-20. A week later the Seahawks would return to Solider Field for a rematch with the Bears, this game would go considerably better for the Seahawks, who used two Shaun Alexander touchdowns to take a 24-21 lead into the 4th Quarter. However, the Bears would rally and force overtime on a 41-yard field goal by Robbie Gould. In overtime the Seahawks got the ball first, but stalled at midfield. From there it would be Gould again as the Bears kicker nailed the game winner at 4:53 from 49-yards out to send the Bears to the NFC Championship Game.

2007: The Seahawks began the season on a positive note, as they defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-6 as Shaun Alexander rushed for 105 yards with a touchdown. However, the one time MVP continued to regain his 2005 form as the Seahawks played mediocre football for half the season, as they held an 8-8 record following a 33-30 loss in overtime to the Cleveland Browns. With Alexander struggling the Seahawks decided to sit him down and start Maurice Morris, while relying heavily on the passing of Matt Hasselbeck. After a 24-0 win over the San Francisco 49ers the Seahawks faced the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. The Seahawks got a taste of revenge against the Chicago Bears with a 30-23 win as Hasselbeck completed 30 passes for 337 yards with two touchdowns. Hasselbeck would play hero again a week later as the Seahawks overcame a 19-7 deficit to beat the St. Louis Rams 24-19. The Seahawks continued to roll the following week as they beat the Philadelphia Eagles on the road 28-24, with Lofa Tatupu picking off three passes from A.J. Feeley. Shaun Alexander would return in time for the Seahawks second meeting with the Arizona Cardinals, but the story once again was QB Matt Hasselbeck, who tossed four touchdown passes to lead the Seahawks to a 42-21 win that avenged a Week 2 loss, and all but locked up the fourth straight NFC Western Division title. The Seahawks five game winning streak would come to an end with a loss to the Carolina Panthers, but the Seahawks would go on to post a solid 10-6 record as they split their final two games, resting several players in the finale against the Atlanta Falcons. In the playoffs the Seahawks were facing a Washington Redskins team riding a wave of emotion as they needed to win their last four games after the death of All-Pro Sean Taylor. Early on it was defense for the Seahawks that led the way as they held a 10-0 lead at halftime. The Seahawks added a field goal in the 3rd Quarter as the Redskins finally broke through with a Todd Collins 7-yard touchdown pass to Antwaan Randle-El. The Redskins would strike again quickly as Matt Hasselbeck had a pass intercepted by Taylor's replacement LaRon Landry, setting up a 30-yard pass to Santana Moss that gave the Redskins a lead. However, the early fourth quarter hiccup would be overcome by the Seahawks as the regained control of the game as Hasselbeck found D.J. Hackett on a 20-yard TD pass to give them back the lead, as they converted on a two point conversion to get a seven point lead. The Seahawks would then put the game away 30 seconds later as Marcus Trufant intercepted and returned a Collins pass 78 yards for a touchdown to put the game out of reach, as Jordan Babineaux added an interception return of his own to give the Seahawks a 35-14 win. A week later in Lambeau Field with a trip to the NFC Championship on the line the Seahawks got off to a quick start turning two Ryan Griggs fumbles into an early 14-0 lead. However, with the snow falling on the frozen tundra the Packers scored twice to tie the game before the end of the first quarter, as the Seahawks early lead was quickly snowed under as the Packers took the lead and never looked back, winning 42-20. Following the season the Seahawks would make some tough decisions, as the released Shaun Alexander after a second straight subpar season in which he rushed for 716 yards with just four touchdowns.

2008: With mounting injuries and a retiring coach. Seattle finally has a losing season.

2009: New head coach. New assist coaches. Some new players. #4 pick in the draft. It's a new future.

Well, there's always boring-ass soccer. You can watch them kick it out of bounds for over an hour to a riveting 0-0 tie!

MuthaFunka said:

I think it will be.

kpowers said:

That's over. I'd be happy with just one.

MuthaFunka said:

Expect to see some NFL players as well as NFL coaches in the league.

I think it's gonna be hard for the Seahawks for awhile. I think Cardinals will win the NFC west next year also I think the 49'ers will be more of a threat (Rams still at the bottom).

kpowers said:

No high profile players.

MuthaFunka said:

Hope the Pittsburgh Maulers returns to the league.

MuthaFunka said:

Most likely not but you never know.

kpowers said:

Naw, they ain't crazy. Plus, they're under contract with the NFL so they can't even if they wanted to.

july said:

Definitely must start grooming a qb for the future. I have one
co worker that's a seahawks fan and he agrees. Also must
rebuild defense around lofa totupa and trufant.

MuthaFunka said:

Well contracts end and people get cut

kpowers said:

Then it will be 4th and 5th rate players and has-beens mixed in with some off the street guys and non-drafted college dudes.

MuthaFunka said:

As well as players straight from college
