Seems to me like the media is respecting that it's a good team, but the fans everywhere outside of Seattle still really love to hate on Seattle.

I've noticed a few more here in Northern California. Of course, people probably see me and think i'm one too.
It will be interesting to see how many more Hawks fans are at the sports bar when I have to go. For the first game of the 2012 season (Wilson's first game), I went to a pretty big, crowded sports bar and there were around 10 fans there. I've been going to a smaller one since and I've not seen more than one other Hawks fan in the whole place.

It would be so hard to judge that. You never know how many of those people are actually from Washington originally. Or even Oregon, Idaho, Vancouver BC, etc. Huge regional fan base and a lot of people have transplanted themselves from Seattle to other parts of the country.
The random Cleveland Cavs fan at a sports bar in Minneapolis? Yeah, that guy's not from Cleveland. I promise.

eh, i still might. everyone else can do it with the likes of the Heat, Cavs, Broncos etc.
Difference...
Heat: Fans following LeBron to whatever team he joined.
Cavs: See above under "Heat."
Broncos: See above under "Heat" and replace "LeBron" with "Peyton."
With the Seahawks it is definitely a bandwagon following that has jumped on with an already very strong fan base...but it's about winning, not latching on to some big name free agent who jumped ship from another team. This thing here was built brick by brick.

What the hell is Bevell thinking on offense? How about getting the ball to Harvin down the field more, instead of the behind the line of scrimmage on every play?

That's much more his skillset? It's been working pretty well, I wouldn't change it.
