Ok, I'm getting ready to jump after last night's loss. Good thing I live on ground floor, haha. Preseason is rough!

Anyone know if it's standard ie league wide that season ticket holders have to pay regular season prices for pre-season games?

Yes it is. Unbelievable. I would go if it was say $20 but a minimum of $75 (where I am) is out of the question. That being said, watched the Hawks vs Bears last night on tv. It was a slaughter. I know its only preseason but the Hawks are pretty much looking unstoppable this year when the 1st unit is in. A little blip against the Donkeys (miss you Max's Kanasas City) during week 1 doesn't appear to be representative. All of the Russ Wilson naysayers best be finding a good recipe for crow. Looks like he is about to take a giant leap this year. He now has a plethora of offensive weapons. Don't think we need to talk about the Hawk's D. Lord have mercy, here comes Percy! GO HAWKS!

you never, ever judge a team by preseason. most teams play vanilla defense to get a feel for working together and rarely dial up any of their real playbook. the offense also usually keeps things pretty basic. teams have actually even tried to look bad in preseason in order to throw off their opponents for the first few weeks of the regular season.
some examples of why you never judge preseason:
2002: oakland raiders look ok in preseason going 2-2. they make the superbowl
2008: detroit lions goes 4-0 in preseason, 0-16 in regular season
2009: detroit goes 3-1 in preseason, 2-14 in regular season.
in a 2 year spand the lions went 7-1 preseason and 2-32 regular season
2012: new york jets go 0-4 in preseason, only scoring 1 TD all of preaseason. first game of the regular season the jets unleash the playbook and score 48 points, more then all 4 games of preseaon combined. jets opened the season 2-1 before revis and holmes went down for the season

Think the hand checking fouls are going to be an IQ for secondaries. Considering this emphasis was at least partially caused by jealousy of the Seahawks secondary, they aren't getting flagged much. Respect for NE secondary. You guys will have to watch out for Browner though. Good player but kind of a knucklehead. He was probably the most likely to commit those fouls in the Legion of Boom. I'm getting excited for season now! Woo hoo & GO HAWKS!

pete and the seahawks fined. seriously does this guy even know how to run a program without breaking some rules. thats at least twice he's broken the CBA since he became the coach in seattle. had player drug related issues with the jets, usc and seattle. had ncaa violations in usc.
