Seahawks got blown out and are now openly feuding with one another

This seems like a totally healthy situation.

It was not a good day in Seattle. The Seahawks, who are now closer to being eliminated from the playoffs than they are to making it, got eviscerated by the Rams. It was the kind of statement game that the Seahawks made almost a decade ago when the Legion of Boom began to get its footing.

So many things are happening as fallout to the 42-7 beatdown that Seattle endured. Not only is the team’s hope of making the playoffs on thin ice but the veil has dropped on the mythos surrounding the 12th Man and that home-field advantage.

Something else that is happening: the Legion of Boom is now feuding.

After the game, Bobby Wagner called out Earl Thomas for saying he shouldn’t have played in the game because he was hurt.

For context, Wagner played injured and Thomas is suggesting that it’s part of the reason why the Rams were able to blow Seattle out. In response, Wagner tweeted out that Thomas needed to stop being jealous, but deleted his tweets.

That’s not what you’re looking for in the thick of a playoff race — especially when you’re rapidly falling out of that race. This doesn’t seem that out of character for the Legion of Boom, however. We’ve heard numerous stories over the years where the team almost thrives off of pettiness, whether that be the offense being jealous of the defense or vice versa.

Having one unit or the other infight like this is new, and a little troubling. Of course, we’ve been hearing stories about the demise of the Legion of Boom for a while now, all of which have proven to be false. Everything we’ve ever learned about the Seahawks suggests they have a fiery competitive spirit that is matched only by their ability to be petty as hell whenever the situation calls for it.

Getting roasted for 42-points at home seems like that situation.
