go fuck your mother. all I meant was that the best plays the Seahawks had this year were passes or when Wilson himself rushed the ball. sure, I should have chosen my wording better, and yes, Lynch was a stellar exception out of the entire rushing line, but I'm allowed to think what I think. your taking exception my use of a single word to convey that I don't think they're rushing game was overly electric just beleaguered my main point. I was praising Wilson, a rookie with an amazing season, and you decide to drop a "hey! what about this guy??" and insult me...awesome. you've basically proven why people think football obsessives are a bunch of apes, so well done sir!

Sorry, could not resist that one. But best to get your facts straight before you call someone else uneducated.

But we can all agree that the Eagles can eat a collective bag of dicks. Every year that team gets hyped up for their speed and youth, and every year there they are, the bottom of the division.

Inept running game? Get informed before you open your mouth.

I've never lived in a city with multiple teams in a single sport, so I don't know how that plays out.

Carroll knows it was not really a "practice kick" scenario which he discussed with the refs. He knows that a kicker will always take that kick, if only to be sure that he was not mistaken about the whistle/call. The kicker ALWAYS takes that kick, and Carroll knows it.

This was a minor incident, and really just struck me as funny...a known and proud cheater like Carroll begging for a bullshit call so he can win. Carroll always somehow has a dirty and cheap team wherever he goes, and this Seahawks team is no exception.

The play should not have happened although I don't believe there is a penalty in the rulebook covering that instance. If anyone was cheating on that play it was the Atlanta kicking team.

anyway, I came into the game late and I'm glad I did. from the end of the 3rd quarter on it was really exciting to watch. prior to that I probably just would have been swearing a lot. despite the outcome it was a really good game.

Mudede was right. To paraphrase, "I've been living in this city for twenty years and the choke has never failed me." Maybe there's a Great Bambino-level hex on the city brought on by Charles Mudede?

A hex that doesn't affect the Seattle Storm? (Don't forget them, Catalina.)

@36 Good point! Who needs Manning vs. Manning?

And to top it off, we've got a burn ban!

I can't call myself a Seahawks fan, but I've always liked them and have been thrilled by this wild and wonderful and imagination-defying year they've had. And I'm utterly indifferent to the Falcons and the city of Atlanta. But I have to confess I was rooting just a bit for the Falcons today, if only because a Falcons loss would likely have been the final game for the great Tony Gonzalez, and he'd be retiring without having won a single playoff game in his career.

But then as the Hawks were mounting their comeback, I got swept up in the moment. Well, if you're going to lose in the playoffs, this is the way to lose, and this is the point in a team's development to lose. The Hawks can exit with their heads held high. The same can' t be said for the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers.
