GET UP OR GET OUT 

It's one day after the Seahawks' disappointing 33-27 OT loss to the Rams.

Some fans are already jumping off the bandwagon.

The majority of the national media are kissing the Rams' ass again.

Oh well, the season is over. After all, if the Seahawks can't hold a 17-point lead in the 4th quarter at home, then they should just call it day, shouldn't they?

Wrong.

Keep in mind that this team is 3-1, a half-game ahead of the Rams in the NFC West. Would the division have been wrapped up if the 'Hawks won yesterday? Hell no. If you believe that would have been the case, then you don't know football.

We are a quarter of the way through the 2004 NFL season. In today's NFL, there is no such thing as a dominating team. No, not even the New England Patriots can be considered a dominating team.

This season is long from over. The Seahawks are still a good football team. It's up to them to decide whether they want to live up to the hype that was heaped on them in the offseason. Or could they just decide that they want to be the "same old Seahawks". You know, the team that has a ton of talent, but doesn't know how to put it together. This has happened to a few 'Hawks teams over the years.

The home winning streak is over. I guess it will be time to start a new one when the 'Hawks return home on Halloween to play the Carolina Panthers. But I won't look that far ahead yet. Some fans were guilty of looking ahead to the Patriots game before the 'Hawks played the Rams. I wasn't one of those fans. I know that the Rams are a dangerous team, even though Mike Martz is an idiot. They proved that they can't be counted out after yesterday.

I believe in this team. There's reason to be optimistic, even though this team looked horrible in the 4th quarter yesterday. Chances are that we won't be see a blowup like that again this season.

Get up or get out.

Go Seahawks.
