The LOB is the greatest Defense of All Time and there's no argument for it because you hear about all these historic defenses (85 bears, 2000 ravens, etc) but all of them were 1 year wonders. The LOB was the best defense 4 years in a row in an era that favors the offense with stats that matched all these other historic defenses

The steel curtain???

One thing usually forgotten about that Super Bowl loss was that both Kam and Thomas were injured in the NFC Championship, Sherman injured in practice in the bye week. Lane, the healthy DB intercepted Brady but also broke his arm in the first quarter. I don't think the Patriots had a chance against a healthy LOB

Criminally underrated just like anything related to the seahawks. This defense was the best of all time. It was perfect in every area. Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett, Brandon Mebane, Red Bryant, Bruce Irvin, Malcolm Smith, KJ Wright, Bobby Wagner, Brandon Browner, Byron Maxwell, Walter Thurmond, Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor. That is the most complete defensive unit the NFL has ever seen. Legendary

Yes the LOB is the greatest secondary of all time, Kam is one of my.all time favorites

I mean they shut down the greatest offensive team we've ever seen.. So I'd say they were pretty fucking good. Also they should've won 2 rings If they just actually gave the god damn ball to marshawn lynch

😂😂😂 oh so they shut down the 1940s rams ?

They were so good, they made like 15 NFL teams think Cover 3 and Cover 4 was a secret weapon. Then everyone realized, including the Hawks post LOB, that those coverages had little to do with their success. It was the room of badas-es that made that defense great - not the scheme. That group could have just ran Man and still dominated.

@@Forgemaster94 no they barely ran man cuz Cover 3 clamped the whole league. Go look up Sherm man coverage cuz you clearly don’t know what you’re talkin about. Yes he’s a zone corner but he’s far from being “terrible” in man coverage.

The LB core and D front were legendary too though…people forget that. The amount of timely fumbles that were caused by Wagner and Wright and our D Line were unreal!

2000 ravens defense best defense ever but I will say the LOB was the greatest defensive secondary ever

Paul Allen built an amazing franchise.

You will NEVER see a defense as great as the LOB ever again. They werent just great for one year. They were the #1 defense in the NFL for FOUR STRAIGHT SEASONS. “2012 to 2015 seasons, the Seahawks led the league in scoring defense, allowing the fewest points scored each year for four years straight. The only other team to accomplish this feat were the Cleveland Browns of the 1950s” You will not ever see a consistent, PHYSICAL defense like the LOB. Truly the last defense of its kind. You cant play that kind of football in the modern NFL. They wont allow it. New defenses will be great, schemes even better than the LOB potentially, but the consistency and the legacy will never be surpassed. That defense and team was a family on and off the field, and so were the fans. Time sure have changed in Seattle. Hopefully better years are soon to come.

LOB the greatest defense of all time

This was a lot of work just to end up in another "just run it in" gut punch

People forget the combination of marshawn lynch on the other side, that was the worst running back to face for defenses and the LOB was the worst defense to face for offenses, cause they would leave you hurting afterward. I remember hearing players from opposing teams talk about how you had to just get into a different mindset when you faced them cause of how physical they were. I remember hearing a crazy stat where they had this long streak where teams that would play them, would almost all go on to lose the following week, guessing cause they would be so beat up.

The year before the Super Bowl, they became headhunters that year. Our defense ended RG3’s career the year it started and barely got beat by some Matt Ryan B.S. the defense really was on some it’s you or us stuff in those years

Mike McDonald is gonna be the hot name this year. Byron Murphy looks legit, and the fact we basically got a top 5 player at pick 16 because the league is desperate, it’s looking spicy.

Not only the best secondary but the best defense ever. People forget it was more than the secondary. Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett, Bobby Wagner, Bruce Irvin, KJ Wright, cmon now

There is a pro wrestler that use to say this ? He said ..Best there is Best there was and Best there ever will be .. I think that is The Legion of Boom ' I don't think there will ever be another Defense like The Legion .

I've never seen another secondary even close. The Raiders team that won their second Super Bowl had a good secondary. They all had stickum on their hands. Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes were the corners, but Seattle had two stars at corner 2 stars at safety. The rush was very good which meant our secondary made a lot of plays on the ball. KJ Wright, Bobby Wagner, and Malcom Smith as our linebackers. There was not one weak link

Literally the best defense ever. I dare you to make an argument against it the players and the scheme? Yo it’s not even close. And it wasn’t just a secondary either . It was a whole defense the front 7 and the back half all did there part and was great at it. And to top it all off. The defense was built out of “scraps” literally Wagner and Thomas was the only people on that defense to be early round picks (1st and 2nd) or atleast drafted by the team
