Van’Dale Powers Jaxson Dart, Giants Still Beat Broncos in Week 7

Seattle, Washington – November 26, 2025 The Seattle Seahawks are experiencing one of the most shocking days in recent franchise memory after Marshawn Lynch, the heart of the Pete Carroll era and a cultural icon in the city, was not included among the 26 semifinalists for the 2026 Hall of Fame class. The disappointment was already heavy, but true outrage only erupted when team owner Jody Allen officially demanded that the NFL review the decision. It was an uncommon move, as Jody Allen rarely enters public debates. But when the legacy of Marshawn Lynch appeared to be subjected to unfair treatment, she chose to speak louder than ever before. In a statement sent to the NFL and the media, her tone carried the frustration felt across Seattle — direct, emotional, and unapologetically honest. “With everything Marshawn Lynch has given — to this city, to this community, to the history of the NFL — seeing him left off the semifinalist list is deeply disappointing. If not Marshawn Lynch, I honestly don’t know who deserves it more. The NFL needs to reevaluate how they measure the value of a legend.” Her words immediately spread throughout the 12s community, igniting a wave of anger unlike anything fans have expressed in years. Lynch is remembered not just for statistics — over 10,000 rushing yards, 85 touchdowns, and a series of unforgettable playoff moments — but for reshaping Seattle’s offensive identity. Moments like “Beast Quake” or his impossible runs through entire defenses remain part of NFL folklore. To Seahawks fans, leaving Lynch out feels like erasing a crucial chapter of league history. For Seattle, this isn’t merely disappointment. It feels like a denial of fairness toward a player who delivered the franchise’s greatest nights at Lumen Field. The Hall of Fame’s increasingly tough stance toward modern-era running backs only adds to the frustration, as many believe Lynch stands as the clearest example of impact beyond the box score. Jody Allen’s response has unified the Seahawks community. To her — and to millions of fans — Marshawn Lynch’s path to Canton is far from over. And Seattle will not quiet down until one of the greatest players in franchise history receives the respect and recognition he has earned.
