A season gone good!
We had just traded away our beloved quarterback. The man who brought us to two Super Bowls.was playing for the other guys. We were told that the trade immediately made the Denver Broncos championship contenders.I remember hearing people already calling for a change after the preseason.I have had season tickets for the past 25 years. This year I had made it to the sidelines and a whole new crew.Still, there was a bit of a cloud hanging over the crowd.
The other question was how the crowd would greet Russell. When he came out, the reaction was mixed, but I heard mostly cheers. After all, we had backed him for more than a decade. As soon as the opening kick, the crowd returned to normal. Quiet when the Seahawks were on offense. As loud as any crowd in any NFL stadium when Denver had the ball.Geno Smith threw two first-half touchdown passes as the Seahawks’ offense started brilliantly in the post-Wilson era. Denver had plenty of chances after halftime but fumbled twice at the 1-yard line.
16 games later and after plenty of ups-and-downs we were 9-8 and with a season-ending Detroit Lions win, we were in the playoffs.It was a fun season. There wasn’t much rain at home during the regular season.It looks like we didn’t have to give up hope after all.
