“I don’t want to remember any of it,” the 10th-year coach said this week. It is a game, anyway, Carroll would like to forget. Those are the basic details of the last game the Seahawks played in Cleveland, which stands as perhaps the most forgettable performance of the Pete Carroll era for Seattle. The headline in the next day’s paper: “How low can they go?” Here is how The Herald in Everett, Washington, recapped the game Leaving the stadium, I felt that game was so bad it still somehow felt like a loss for having to spend three hours on a beautiful fall day watching two stumblebums fist-fight in a back alley over fifteen cents and a half-smoked Menthol cigarette. The starting running backs combined for 139 yards. Quarterbacks Colt McCoy and Charlie Whitehurst combined for 275 passing yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions. Our kicker, Big Dick Phil Dawson, stroked two fifty-yard field goals and was the best player on the field that day by a wide, wide margin despite having two other field goal attempts blocked. One memory that is seared into my mind forever, is paying real money in 2011 to attend a Browns 6-3 victory over the Seahawks. Little did we know that, due to injury and Quinn’s overall shittiness, we would get to see Miami Hurricanes legend Ken Dorsey start later that season and we might as well have pulled the drunkest dude out of the Dawg Pound to throw the magic diamond around for us. The Cleveland Browns are a good football team, in spite of their defense which seems intent on breaking my already fragile psyche by refusing to get off the field on any third-and-long scenario whether it’s Tyrod Taylor or Patrick Mahomes under center.īut I can’t complain too much, considering it wasn’t that long ago I was leaving Browns losses drunkenly chanting, “We Want Dorsey!” after Brandon Marshall and the Denver Broncos spoiled Brady Quinn’s debut as a starter on Thursday Night Football.
