Being a miserable Lions fan though I'd love if they somehow win the division, but I highly highly doubt it. What we have here is a case of a poor head coach, bottom 5 defense with minimal talent, and a mediocre O line and non-existent running game being bailed out by Stafford and his receivers in the final seconds every week. That is simply not sustainable. Before this season I predicted 7-9 or 8-8 and I'm sticking to it.

Ok, so the Hawks offense looks awesome tonight, but defense looks like absolute horse shit!!!

CAN WE GET A GAME WITH BOTH SIDES PLAYING WELL FOR FUCKS SAKE?!?

[Mr.SugarSkulls]

What the fuck just happened these last ten minutes? Lol

[1MOREMOD]

Yeah pretty weird last 20 seconds

[Mr.SugarSkulls]

Go hawkssss !!!!!

They easily take 2 years off my life after every game like this, but I don't want to live past 40 anyways!

[1MOREMOD]

Can't we just play the whole game

I'd just like the defense that's played all season up until tonight's games + tonight's offense to play out.

Is that too much to ask for????

[TrevorM3]

you guys are really giving the defense shit?

tyrod taylor gave the D all they could handle. give the guy some props, they took long methodical drives kept alive by his ability to buy time. sounds like someone we know too?


i was proud of him, bills offense is serious, all the formations etc.

good w, but no run game.. stil.. o line is face palm worthy

With the Pats up next, yes- the defense deserves blame for it being as close as it was. Definitely an aberration, track record speaks for itself, but not good knowing Tom Brady is up next

I will take the Patriots by 20

I'm calling upset of the week.

This game and/or steelers over the Cowboys.

Edit- just saw Pittsburgh is favored over Dallas. What????

Besides being offside, I STILL can't tell what Sherman did wrong to end the half. He didn't go diving into the kicker, he put his hand on the ball in the holder's hand.

That was his only crime (being offside) it would have been dirty had they blown the whistle and he went through with the play - but they didn't- so it's just another thing for Seattle/Richard Sherman haters to complain about.

I will say this though...I don't know what it is about MNF and playing in Seattle...but SOMETHING controversial happens.

[UncleWede]

Maybe it's not MNF that is the culprit here???


Was the complaint that he got so out in front, touched the ball, then left his body in the way of where the kicker was going to go? If so, since no whistle, the kicker went ahead with his kick. Once the ball is touched, all roughing goes out the window, no?

Correct.

[Germanauto]

Seattle as usual got away with some BS thanks to the zebras. As if I didn't despise them enough already.

Sherman is really a work of art, as are the bandwagons who defend him.

[Wraith.]

Ok, if you say so then it must be true.

He sounds like the typical Seattle hater.

Dealt with those since 1988. I take their words with a grain of salt

[TrevorM3]

there is something in the air anytime a primetime game in seattle is played. seriously.. it's eery as fuck. but i love it.

anyway, can any of you seattle natives provide some input for someone visiting seattle?

i'd like to know where to stay, etc.

[infamousdiz]

I want the patriots and terrific tom to run the train on the seahawks. That home team stadium will be loud as can be

How sad will you be if Seattle wins?

I'm hoping for at least 9-7. I think that's very doable.
