I remember reading a ton about how cheap everyone's contracts were and how the success would only last a couple season because players were all going to want to get paid at the same time and Wilson's future contract wouldn't allow it. Kam retiring didn't help either but it seems people saw what was coming.
lol what. Their historic super bowl blowout isn't forgotten at all. Their dominance isn't forgotten either and will always be remembered. When people think seattle's prime years they think LOB
Yeah pete really fucked that for us. At least when people think of our great run they think of a dominant defense with massive hits, and Lynch running through people, eating skittles and not getting fined
Richard Sherman's reaction to that SB play is iconic....Pete Carroll, Bevels & Wilson are culpable for that happening. Everybody and they mamma knew Marshawn should've at least gotten 2 chances to run that ball. With two timeouts left, ain't no way that should've transpired like that..especially with the great forgotten catch by Kearse to get them in that position a few plays earlier. If they won that SB, they would've been the only team to not only beat both Peyton & Brady, but to beat them in back to back SBs. That would've cemented them as the greatest defense ever if not consideration for top 3
What made that play even more painful is that the intended Seattle receiver (I forget who it was) just went down like a sack of bricks. He clearly had NO idea a Patriot defender was anywhere near him. You'd think that, when a game-winning touchdown pass is coming at you, you might at least take a split second to check your peripheral vision.
The short version: The Legion of Boom ended when the team didn't run the ball. No matter how great a team seems to be, NEVER prematurely proclaim them as a dynasty. Too many things can happen (self-inflicted, or otherwise)
has nothing to do with the pass in the super bowl what are you babbling about kam got hurt and couldn’t play sherman and earl both wanted bigger contracts but weren’t performing like they should get contracts
@@Butbaeitsderick Wrong. Yes, there were injuries. Yet, that play really ruined the team. Whether you realize or not, and based off what players have said about pete and the issues, they declined. Hate to say it but that play ruined us.
Kameron chancellor was the heart and would of that team. Sherman was the face and mouth. Once kam suffered that neck injury I was over for that defense.
@@chiefsosa9398 you do realize that the 2013 Broncos offense was the best offense of All time and Seattle’s defense walked on them like it was nothing, Seattle’s 2013 defense is a top 6 defense of all Time no ands ifs, or buts about it
Lol what he means is that when you’re fighting the final boss he’s OP but when you unlock the final boss as playable character he’s nerfed so bad its almost laughable.
Kam chancellor still only 33 years old. That injury robbed him from tons of money and robbed of us of seeing what else he could of done. He was on pace to become one of the best safties ever
@@knucklestheechidna2778 I love how whenever someone tries to discount this Seattle line up, they only mention a team with ONE year. Seattle's D was top tier for YEARS. Not a single season. This flat out makes them better.
I like how they show that clip at 0:03 to show how good the defense is when in reality that play ended in a guy catching a ball of a 15 yard ricochet and running in a touchdown
I'm a steelers fan but the LOB has brought me a new respect for the Seahawks. The bond they built and what they went through is something that cant be beaten
Man this team was special. Not even a seahwaks fan but that defense was actually lethal and then their offense stacked with players like russ, lynch, Baldwin, Lockett, Rawls, kearse. Damn those were good times
U must be young. I'm 40. The 00 ravens were much more dominant. The 85 bears were too but I was 4. Steel curtain. Belechicks giants. 02 bucs. Buddy Ryan's eagles.
That was a great time to be a Seahawks fan. Rushing on offense and getting after the QB on defense in under 4 seconds was huge for them. It allowed the LOB to be more instinctive and gamble a bit more. They were usually just rushing 3-4 guys and dropping everyone else and still getting to the QB. Chancellor was the heart and soul of that defense. He set the time in the Superbowl vs the Broncos. After his hit on Thomas everyone was looking for "their" play. Then right as the announcers say Chancellor can't cover Wes Welker he's laid him out on a deep ball. What a defense and what Marshawn on offense?! Come on.
It’s ironic how the they lost the Super Bowl in the cardinals stadium, then all 3 members of the legion of boom got hurt last games as Seahawks were against the cardinals in which all 3 got hurt in.
Hell yes!! Either that or just a video about Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman. Still the best LB duo I ever saw. I would love to say it was Tedy Bruschi & Ted Johnson or Donta Hightower and Jamie Collins but I can't say that with a straight face. What made Willis and Bowman so special wasn't that they complimented each other, it was that they were both incredible all around linebackers who would rack up 125+ tackles a season along with multiple sacks, ints, FFs etc. I think they even had a streak of like 3-4 First team all pro seasons or something like that. G*damnit I wish they played forever
The fact that the Seahawks coming into the Super Bowl with a blow out on the best offense and had one of the greatest comebacks ever all to lose it to not handing it off to one of the best running backs ever is heart breaking
True but Seahawks did have a ton of injuries coming into that game. Sherman had a arm injury, Earl Thomas had a shoulder injury, Kam chancellor had a Torn MCL, Jeremy Lane tore his ACL on that INT and Cliff Avril (who forced the 2nd Brady INT) got a concussion.
@@Terror832 The Patriots center had a bad knee, Dont’a Hightower’s shoulder was bad, and it got jacked up during the game which made his tackle on Lynch all the more impressive in the penultimate Seahawks offensive play. Revis was on limited practice for something undisclosed. One of New England’s pass rushing ends had a knee injury and their defensive tackle opposite Vince Wilfork was battling an elbow injury. Injuries happen, you overcome them or don’t.
Honestly props to New England for coming back and winning and I’m not just saying this because I’m a Seahawks super fan but Seattle most likely would’ve beat the patriots if they would’ve just ran the ball😔
4:00 so long as next time you fully cover the follow up. AJ would say next time they met: “I remember that. I remember that. That was my first game, wasn’t it? I have a ton of respect for him. Obviously, I was hyped up that day, I’m always hyped up after the game. We’ve had conversations, and his resume speaks for itself. He’s had a fantastic four or five years since we’ve played him, so you have to give him all the respect."
God could you imagine if the hawks won that 2nd superbowl? How things could have gone different… i know injuries and all that played a factor but I truly truly believe them not winning the 2nd SB was the fracture in that group that ended them far to early
3:44 and a TD and drew several holding penalties against Sherman, Andy Dalton practically threw the ball to Richard as if he was on his team. They would face eachother again in 2015 and AJ was clearly the better player. AJ was the most criminally underrated WR in the 2010s.
Told my friend after the 2nd superbowl of the Seahawks vs patriots game. Said they was done for and wasn't going back bc what the coach called and did for that last play. I know that hurt everyone. And now they haven't been back and the teammates has been broken up. Sad to see the fall of that team. He they would of won. I bet they would of went back for a 3rd time in a row.
I grew up in Seattle and loved the Hawks. I’m so glad that I was old enough to enjoy watching football right when we finally became dominant and won our first Superbowl in the early 2010s. I remember screaming every time we scored in SB48, and that was a lot. They were so much fun to watch and their confidence was inspiring. I’ll never forget Superbowl 48. They were one of the reasons I loved defensive play.
I'd have to say 2000 Ravens. They gave up 1 TD throughout 4 playoff games on defense. Like wtf??? Not to mention they won frickin' Trent Dilfer a superbowl...
@@geminiman7791 yeah they're definitely #2. Seattle's D held the highest scoring offense of all time to 8 points in the Super Bowl, that's why they're #1
5 stars of the Legion of Boom- Kam Chancellor: Retired Richard Sherman: Left in FA Earl Thomas: Left in FA Bobby Wagner: Stayed in Seattle KJ Wright: Stuck in Seattle
Think about what the LOB legacy would be. From 2013-2014 they would’ve beaten Manning, Brees, Rodgers, and Brady in the playoffs. As much as ppl talk about the goalline int, we also shouldn’t forget that Seattle blew a 10 point 4th quarter league and got shredded.
Hawks are already back in the playoffs and have some amazing young talent on offense and defense. The LOB will never happen again but this new secondary in Seattle is gearing up to possibly be something special too.
It just sucks that we literally could have been a dynasty... that play set the entire blow up in motion. Sherman left, russ eventually left, we had to pay our star players like the stars they are, but without any confidence in Carroll. Players will take some pay cuts if they have confidence in their team winning rings, we suffered all the negatives of being an expensive team without the clout. Seahawks could have won 3 more rings had 2014 gone our way! But this season makes me really hopeful for the future
No way. The Kam Chancellor hit on Jimmy Graham was legendary. Graham's career would never rebound after that hit. Prior to that he was the top tight end in the NFL.
i was never even a Seahawks fan but around 2012 and position after position they kept finding players that I loved and their 2014-2015 squad might be my second favorite squad behind 2002-2003 Raiders so I started paying closer attention to them and they became like my 3rd favorite NFL team(after the Raiders and Ravens) and I think that incredibly dumb play at the end of super bowl 49(still imo the greatest super bowl of all time) was what spelled the beginning of the end...had they only chose to run it instead Seattle couldve really been a dynasty but that one play destroyed it all, I don't think there's many moments in sports history that simultaneously has been one of the worst decisions and had as much tied to it...Seattle i know felt like it was over, like they did it for a second year in a row but when u make it to that level of play one thing u absolutely should never do is Underestimate Your Opponent.. ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS A TEAM LIKE THE PATRIOTS, NO QUESTION THE BEST NFL TEAM SINCE THE TURN OF THE MILLENNIUM AND IM NOT EVEN A PATRIOT FAN BUT THERES NO WAY I COULDNT RESPECT THEM...WTF WAS PETE CARROLL THINKING?
Eh. They'd have ran it if they didn't waste time. They were banking on NE calling a timeout, and then attempting to run it in. With BB not calling it, it put them in a really tough bind, where if they ran it, and didn't make it, they'd have to hustle for 1 more run attempt. It's why they said they wanted to throw it first. If it doesn't work, they'll still be able to attempt to run it twice because of the stopped clock. What people NEVER talk about is the fact that the receiver ran his route lazily and sloppy. If you watch the tapes from when they run it before, he normally runs it faster and more clean. Had he ran it how he normally did, Butler at BEST breaks up the catch, but that's it. He wouldn't have been able to get in front of him for the catch.
As a Seahawks fan I miss this team so much. Not even being bias tho but this team is fo sho top 5 defense of all time because they literally shut down the 75 touchdown Peyton Manning offense while leading the nfl in all defensive stats. They were such a joy to watch. Richard Sherman was the life of the team with his trash talk and Kam Chancellor was the Enforcer with his big hits and Earl Thomas was that underrated small guy with insane skills. They d-line was Michael Bennett’s and Cliff Avril with their linebackers being Bobby Wagner and K.J Wright. They would’ve also beat the Tom Brady and Gronkowski led offense if it wasn’t for that infamous goal line interception.
Great defense is fun to watch. Yes touchdowns, 400 yard games, deep throws are cool but hard hits, great open field tackles and shutting down the opposition is just as fun to watch. 2013 Seahawks are one of my all time favorite teams
Legend has it that if they gave Lynch the ball on 2nd down and more if not successful at 2nd down, they would still be together and would’ve won more SuperBowl wins
It's funny that this isn't the only team that lost all their luster after losing to the Patriots. I remember about six years ago the Houston Texans were considered one of the biggest rising stars in the league, and then they got completely shut out by the Patriots led by their third stringer, and after that they just kinda lost their stardom, had only a decent rest of the season, then lost to the Patriots again in the playoffs, and after that they were just never successful again.
It’s mind blowing how the Seahawks are remembered more not running it and blowing a Super Bowl lead instead of dominating a Super Bowl and most likely winning back to back Super Bowls had they called a different play.
I can't stand the New England Patriots but seeing the look on Richard Sherman's face when Malcolm Butler picked off Russell Wilson to end the super bowl that was priceless
Another monster Giants defense that prob should’ve been listed was the nascar front. Like 6 or 7 guys who would’ve been Number 1 pass rushers on a lot of teams
The high ego of Pete Carroll causing distrust amongst the rest of the players because he wanted Wilson to get all the glory will go down as one of the most “it’s about me” more than “for the team”moments in sports history.
The entire end of the legion of boom summarized. "They didn't hand the ball of to Marshawn Lynch on the 1 yard line which caused them to lose the super bowl and they all left
Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas III, Bobby Wagner, Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett, Brandon Browner, K.J. Wright, and Bruce Irvin all on the same defense
The fact that the Seahawks are more remembered for not running it on the 1 than 43-8 shows how hard of a fall they had.
I remember reading a ton about how cheap everyone's contracts were and how the success would only last a couple season because players were all going to want to get paid at the same time and Wilson's future contract wouldn't allow it.

Richard Sherman was the life of the team with his trash talk and Kam Chancellor was the Enforcer with his big hits and Earl Thomas was that underrated small guy with insane skills. They d-line was Michael Bennett’s and Cliff Avril with their linebackers being Bobby Wagner and K.J Wright. They would’ve also beat the Tom Brady and Gronkowski led offense if it wasn’t for that infamous goal line interception.
Same
Great defense is fun to watch.
Yes touchdowns, 400 yard games, deep throws are cool but hard hits, great open field tackles and shutting down the opposition is just as fun to watch.
2013 Seahawks are one of my all time favorite teams
Not running the ball is a top 5 boneheaded play call of all-time
They still couldn't contain Gronk or knock him out.
How come the New York sack exchange isn’t an “unforgettable defense.” HOW!!!!!
I wish we could relive the legion of boom it's good times and a moment to enjoy watching
ngl when I heard you say the Richard Sherman quote it didn't feel right without the energy.
Legend has it that if they gave Lynch the ball on 2nd down and more if not successful at 2nd down, they would still be together and would’ve won more SuperBowl wins
I LOVE seeing Sherman react to the pick in the superbowl LOVE IT
GREAT GREAT breakdown
Man I needed this
It's funny that this isn't the only team that lost all their luster after losing to the Patriots. I remember about six years ago the Houston Texans were considered one of the biggest rising stars in the league, and then they got completely shut out by the Patriots led by their third stringer, and after that they just kinda lost their stardom, had only a decent rest of the season, then lost to the Patriots again in the playoffs, and after that they were just never successful again.
It’s mind blowing how the Seahawks are remembered more not running it and blowing a Super Bowl lead instead of dominating a Super Bowl and most likely winning back to back Super Bowls had they called a different play.
Do the 49ers defense Willis bowman smiths
It was an exciting couple of years for sure.
The Legion of Boom was much more than the secondary. The D-Line and LBs were nasty too.
Kam's injury was the starting crack.
Man i miss my boys on defense...
Set The Edge did this Video a Year ago give him his credit
If Russell didn’t ask for too much money, maybe they could’ve kept move of these guys.
I am glad I could witness them
Am I the only one to never have heard of the monsters of the Midwest???
Great vid
After all these years I can only remember Sherman's trash talk on Brady and his iconic facial expression meme from SB 49.
As a Seahawks fan, I had mixed feelings watching this
Same
Given the NFL rules in 2013, this is easily the best NFL defense ever.
That defense was nasty
Ever since they lost the Super Bowl against the pats they could never recover
The mascot celebration at 825 funny as hell idk why lol
Offense gets more attention, but those legendary defenses are just as exciting as the legendary offenses.
People say Sherman’s post game interview makes him arrogant of confident
But no it makes him CHAD
I can't stand the New England Patriots but seeing the look on Richard Sherman's face when Malcolm Butler picked off Russell Wilson to end the super bowl that was priceless
I lowkey was a Seattle fan during that stretch. Missed seeing Kam Chancellor
Another monster Giants defense that prob should’ve been listed was the nascar front. Like 6 or 7 guys who would’ve been Number 1 pass rushers on a lot of teams
I remember doing a 6th grade project on the LOB
Holding out on the first year of your deal is wild
The 2000 Ravens didn't need a name. They just showed up, stopped offenses dead in their tracks and left.
what I hate is that you didn't mention the ravens in the early 2000s. Ray Lewis and Ed Reed destroyed teams and had so many shutouts
The high ego of Pete Carroll causing distrust amongst the rest of the players because he wanted Wilson to get all the glory will go down as one of the most “it’s about me” more than “for the team”moments in sports history.
Great videos
As a hawks fan, I’m disappointed, yet satisfied
The entire end of the legion of boom summarized. "They didn't hand the ball of to Marshawn Lynch on the 1 yard line which caused them to lose the super bowl and they all left
I’m a niners fan and as much as hate the Seahawks the LOB was epic
As a niners fan I take pride in Kaepernick having more of an answer against the LOB than the best offense ever at the time (Broncos)
Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas III, Bobby Wagner, Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett, Brandon Browner, K.J. Wright, and Bruce Irvin all on the same defense
I was waiting so long for bobby wagner and Jamal Adam’s 😭
I miss the old seahawks
