Game Day Open Thread: Week 17 -- Seahawks at Buccaneers

by Shrug on Dec 31, 2006 2:55 AM PST in Game Threads


Seattle Seahawks (8-7)	at	Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-11)

Sunday, December 31, 10:00am PT Raymond James Stadium

The final game of the regular season, or as the Seahawks camp is mysteriously calling it, "the first game of the playoffs." Except these first "playoff" opponents are 4-11. Man, is the NFC lame or what?

Nothing really to play for today, so maintain interest at your own risk. Let's hope the Seahawks regain some of that increasingly endangered momentum.

SEA!!!!
HAWKS!!!!

Tampa Bay:

CB Juran Bolden (quad) - Questionable
G Davin Joseph (knee) - Questionable
S Jermaine Phillips (wrist) - Questionable
TE Alex Smith (back) - Questionable
RB Carnell Williams (foot) - Questionable
LB Jamie Winborn (knee) - Questionable
DT/DE Ellis Wyms (ankle) - Questionable

hey!

we can still help the Packers get in!

How funny would it be if all those scenarios played out and the Giants missed the playoffs. SportsCenter would dedicate their 1 1/2 show to it.

Josh Brown is better than you.

Good morning everybody.

We are getting a huge break with Williams out, because Alstott sucks. And don't get me wrong I used to love Alstott, but him starting is a homer move. He was never much of a rusher and now he's very washed up.

Come on Hawks, let's destroy the Bucs.

I can't take another barn burner.

Shaun's yards per carry went down there a bit.

Let's see some of that 2005 mojo, now we need to..

.force a turnover.

by John Morgan on Dec 31, 2006 10:31 AM PST reply actions

man

Dallas is lucky to only be down 6-0.

Detriot is kicking the crap out of them.

Josh Brown is better than you.

by MFAN on Dec 31, 2006 10:33 AM PST reply actions

Yeah, you want to root for Philly to win today.

We can beat Dallas, but Philly is dangerous.

by John Morgan on Dec 31, 2006 10:39 AM PST up reply actions

totally agree

I dont want to play Philly right now.

Actually I wasnt big on playing Dallas either, but with the way they are playing today, I'll take my chances with them.

Josh Brown is better than you.

I would rather play Philly

especially with Trufant and Herndon out.

Garcia can't throw more than 10 yards

Unbelievable

WE cannot get a fucking break this season!

by CecilEltz @ Field Gulls on Dec 31, 2006 11:26 AM PST reply actions

Wow

Great job by our team to still get a touchdown there.

GO SEAHAWKS!

TGAS

Thank God Alstott Sucks.

by John Morgan on Dec 31, 2006 11:59 AM PST reply actions

That Visa commercial

reminds me of the West Coast offense. The poor bloke who pays in cash represents a dropped pass or a penalty.

by John Spartan @ Field Gulls on Dec 31, 2006 12:03 PM PST reply actions

Bring in the scrubs.

Encouraging win for the Hawks.

Looks like we'll be playing the Cowboys.

I'm out for today, but expect full coverage with strategic break downs of ever unit, Offense and Defense for our playoff opponent.

Keep checking in for daily updates, because Field Gulls will be your one stop spot for smart Seahawks' analysis.

hey, a win!

and Josh Brown didnt have to do it!..although he was a key part.

I know it meant nothing, but that win does feel good. Takes a little pressure off our guys. We played solid.

Josh Brown is better than you.

by MFAN on Dec 31, 2006 1:02 PM PST reply actions

and Herndon broke his ankle..oh boy

Jimmy Williams is now a starter.

Josh Brown is better than you.

by MFAN on Dec 31, 2006 1:04 PM PST reply actions

OH MY F*ING GOD

Williams got hurt as well!!

Rich F*ING Gardner, may actually start next week, great googly moogly.

Babs will start

which might be good because he can be physical with TO

by Scruffy Lefty on Dec 31, 2006 1:26 PM PST up reply actions

Yep, me too.

Of the two quarterbacks we could've faced, Romo is FAR more likely to go off than Garcia. I'm not trying to take anything away from Garcia, but he really is nothing more than a pure West Coast sort of guy.

I'm sitting here sweating bullets at the thought of Babs covering TO, Jennings covering Glenn and the new guy covering Crayton.

Hey, if you didn't want to get your legs broken, pal, you never should have tried to do your job in the first place.
