After Coming Up One Yard Short, The Hawks Get
back to work
BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
So close.
One yard from a second title. One play from another majestic parade through the streets of Seattle. One more step to a matching trophy in the VMAC’s glass case. It still stuns, it still stings and it’s still confusing nearly six months later. But next week, the Seahawks return to camp and get back to work to figure out how to get that one more yard and bring the Lombardi trophy back to Renton where it belongs.

It capped another year of excellence for the Hawks and its budding dynasty. Seattle finished the 2014 season with the top-ranked defense in football - again - the top rushing game and the ninthranked overall offense. It’s been an excellent run for Carroll and the Seahawks. The team has now won nine of its last 10 regular season games and 32 of

Packers again in the NFC championship game, rallying from the largest-ever halftime deficit, the Seahawks rallied for 15 points in the final frame to tie the game. Then, in overtime, the hawks won the coin toss and drove 87 yards in six plays, capped by a pair of long completions, the last of which was a game-winning 30-yard strike to Jermaine Kearse.

And to hear the team tell it, they’ve put the loss behind them and are ready to move forward with another season of Seahawks football. “Right at the outset of that, the aftermath of the game, it was important to recognize that everybody’s going to deal with this individually and on their own and we wanted to respect that,” Coach Pete Carroll said during the team’s minicamp in June. “So we have done that and everybody’s brought everybody back to the point where we’re thrilled with what we did this offseason. “We’re ready to go,” he said. For the star quarterback who has led the team to two Super Bowls in his first three seasons, the loss was a “heartbreaker,” but will not define the team’s upcoming season as the Seahawks try to return to a third straight Super Bowl, this one on Feb. 7, 2016 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., home of the San Francisco 49ers. “In terms of the Super Bowl loss, I think it’s a motivating factor for sure, but I don’t think it’s the ultimate one,” said Russell Wilson in June, adding that his team is full of “ultimate competitor(s)” who go out each week with a mentality to “dominate.” And dominate is exactly what the Seahawks did for most of the 2014 season. Blasting out of the gate with an opening day win over the Green Bay Packers, the 2014 Seahawks went 12-4, won their division, secured the No. 1 seed in the playoffs and then faced down the
