I think you're all a little sensitive.
The Seahawks are not what you would call a "finesse" team. We all know they're physical. Some people interpret that as dirty. But throughout the past decade some of the best defenses the NFL has produced have been tough, physical and been labeled as dirty (The Steelers and Ravens come to mind).
So yes I personally think it was a valid and truthful post. I live and die with my team (As my friends can attest by numerous grumpy monday mornings) but the Seahawks are a dirty team and you'd be fooling yourself to say otherwise. It's not a bad thing either, just means we're not afraid to knock some heads off.
If we're being called a dirty team, must mean we're doing something right, because nobody would care if it was not working.
First of all it was the context and the source that warranted the response.
Second of all the term 'dirty' is not in itself a true and accurate description. Define it exactly. You can't which means it is an opinion. You can say they are aggressive or physical, but dirty?
Third, I wish they were 'dirty' or at least as physical and dominating as some of the great teams of the past. They are working at becoming a more physical team, but they are far from the most physical in the league and until they are it is just a work in progress.
There is no doubt players on this team play as hard and fast as they can. It's called competition and if they don't they are dropped from the team. Hard hits and going out full speed is how they roll. Nothing dirty about it. Oh there have been plenty of teams you could say dirty about I guess depending on how you define that, but this team isn't looking for cheap shots or to intentionally hurt players on the other teams to win. They are just playing hard.
