The Untold Story of the Seattle Seahawks

For as good as this video was, it's criminal to leave out any mention of the refs influence on the game in SB XL

No mention of the legendarily bad refereeing?

Super Bowl against the Steelers will forever be a bitter taste due to how the game truly went with the refs. Not with the Steelers defense and Hines ward lol

It's fascinating how after losing 2 Superbowls (40-49) in such tragic fashion, the next opportunities (48-60) the team gets are absolute ass whippings.

I want people to take this in: 12 Years after their first Super Bowl win, they win their second, on the franchise's 50th Anniversary, on America's 250th Anniversary, beat both of their 12+ win division rivals in the playoffs and avenged their last Super Bowl loss in one of their division rivals' stadium. That's incredible, and very Seattle. A true Cinderella story 2025 was.

There are so many errors, typos, and omissions in this video… I don’t know where to start. I probably shouldn’t even bother.

The depiction of the 2005 Super Bowl against the Pittsburgh Steelers was fraught with glaring omissions. First, the OPI call against Darrel Jackson in the end zone was ridiculous and took away a TD, and resulted in a field goal. Second: Roethlisberger's one yard TD run was beyond controversial and came after the great Jerome Bettis was stuffed on both 1st and 2nd down. Third: Hasselbeck's bomb to Jeremy Stevens down to the 3 yard line late in the game, was called back on a holding penalty that John Madden said, "If there was holding on that play, I sure didn't see it." And finally, the call against Matt Hasselbeck for an illegal block against the call carrier was just beyond absurd. After the game, Holmgren said, "I knew playing against the Steelers was going to be tough, but I didn't know we'd have to play against the refs," for which he was fine. Years later, the head umpire admitted that, "We really blew that one."

39:57 That’s not Zach Charbonnet.

idk if I'm in the minority on this but even as a Seahawks fan who watched it happen, the "We want the ball and we're going to score" game was just hilarious. At the time it sucked sure but years later it's just funny. edit: yeah, we have a very different view of SB XL

Steve largent was drafted bye Houston.

Don't forget the trade that brought in Earnest Jones. He's a VERY important part to that Seahawks Defense.

Charbs and Spoon sure look similar, are they twins?

How can you talk about the team leaving without mentioning the Save Our Seahawks movement? The coin flip.

5:56 the RAIDEERS LOL

28-3 was worse. Seahawks had one blown play, Falcons blew an entire quarter.

Glossing over the controversy of Super Bowl XL is a slap in the face of all 12s. “It was a tough thing for me. I kicked two calls in the fourth quarter and I impacted the game, and as an official you never want to do that. It left me with a lot of sleepless nights, and I think about it constantly. I'll go to my grave wishing that I'd been better ... I know that I did my best at that time, but it wasn't good enough ... When we make mistakes, you got to step up and own them. It's something that all officials have to deal with, but unfortunately when you have to deal with it in the Super Bowl it's difficult.” - Bill Leavy, Head Referee Super Bowl XL

"Pittsburgh's Deference and ball control were the story" um, no it wasn't. The story was the the worst officiated Superbowl of all time and the Refs determining the outcome. Seattle was robbed of thier first Superbowl. That was the story

"One team was told they were supposed to be here. The other team didn't care if they weren't." 💙💚

chaos? are you kidding? i'm a browns fan. gimme that chaos.
