SEA v. SF

[HailBlazers]

Was always a Niners fan growing up, my first live NFL game saw Steve Young connect to Jerry Rice at Candlestick park, number 80 was my all-time favorite. After the multiple years of mediocrity that followed, the Seattle Chicken-Hawks became my new favorite team (on the west coast), and am absouletly loving them now thanks to Russell Wilson, Pete Carrol, and the defense. Don't care who wins tonight but am pumped for the game.

TD Seahawks.

 

[HailBlazers]

.. and Marshawn Lynch is a beast!

Yeah, that was a great run.

 

[HailBlazers]

Well it's official, the Seahawks are my new favorite team.

Kapernick is being exposed tonight. Harbaugh was dumb not to run more read option early in the game, though.

Agreed.

If i'm reading the brackets correct (assuming SF wins there division) then it will be the Redskins or my Cowboys vs Seattle in round 1. Holyshit does that scare me, no way in hell the Cowboys or Redskins come close to winning that game.

...OK, Chip Kelly, TMQ!

I love the Seahawks. They are so hot right now it's ridiculous.

Niners definitely got exposed, weren't prepared for the loudness of the Seahawk fans.

Manningham is out with an ACL and Veron Davis is questionable vs Arizona on Sunday.

...legal hit, lead with shoulder and forearm [it's not his fault it was so hard that Vernon's head snapped back into his]!

 

[3RA1N1AC]

not an expert on the new safety rules but that looks like both a helmet to helmet and hitting a defenseless receiver

great play though, did they throw a flag?

 

[BrianFromWA]

it wasn't helmet to helmet...it was shoulder-to-chest. It just looked that way b/c of how violent it was.

But it was flagged for defenseless.

Perfectly fine and legal hit. If his head didnt snap back violently it probably wouldn't have been flagged.

Seahawks vs. Redskins is gonna be a whale of a game pitting two hot rookie qb's against each other.

Go Seahawks!!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Seahawks are the best team in the NFC right now!
GO SEAHAWKS!

The Seahawks have the right to call themselves the best in the NFC after destroying the 49ers, but things like that happen in the NFL. If the 49ers and Seahawks meet in the playoffs at the stick, it could well be a different result.

I wouldn't say best. "Hottest" for sure. It's often better to be "hottest", especially as the NFL heads to the playoffs.

If I'm a Packers fan, I'd still be pissed about the officials giving Seattle that early Christmas present. They'd still have a chance at tying Atlanta in the NFC for best record (and Seattle still wouldn't even be guaranteed a spot in the playoffs).

Replacement or not, it doesn't matter. There's been a lot of terrible officiating this season, and it's continued even after the regular refs returned.

Seahawks got screwed by the refs @ Miami that cost us the win. So the "bad call wins" evened each other out.

 

[BrianFromWA]

yeah, but since it didn't fit in with the "replacement refs SUCK!111!!" motif, then no one cared or saw it on 30 different replay angles. Or got a rule wrong.

That one was far less of a gimme. Far less. Nothing I've seen this year was as blatant as the GB game. The officials were terrible that game, but it went BOTH ways. And you need to be honest, the Seahawks played terribly that game IMO. The coaches made some questionable calls. Not bagging on the Seahawks, but sometimes you don't come ready to play, and that was one of the only times this season I felt that way about the Seahawks.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

The NFL officiating this year has been horrendous all-around. Replacement refs or not. I don't remember being upset about so many calls (and that's just as a fan watching as much NFL as I can, not just watching my own teams).

I like reading Mike Pereira's write-up week-to-week, reviewing some of the calls. I think this is one of the best parts of the NFL - having a rules expert provide some critique and transparency.

I'd agree on offense. Carroll hadn't opened up the playbook for Wilson, yet. The D brought it, though.

Eh, I'd say they were great early, mediocre late. The line was showing some holes, and that kept the D on the field, and they slowly wore down.

Not happening. Redskins will have to beat the Cowboys and as banged up as the Cowboys are there going to pull out the win.
