I would put the over/under on total points scored
in both playoff games today at 110, maybe 120. That's some exciting playoff football.

And of course, Go Hawks!

I gonna say under
just have a feeling all these shitty defenses are going to step up today.

Drew Bledsoe, still the offensive captain for the Cowboys.  

Turns out he can't even win the coin toss.  

Trufant raising the number 12 flag.

12
I still think they should have had Michael Frier raise the 12 flag for the NFC totle game last year.

by wackomann on Jan 6, 2007 5:08 PM PST reply actions  

get it out of the way...
Just to end all future suggestions...

Let's put Wallace in the backfield and line up Hasselbeck in the slot, have Wallace snap the ball, and find a receiver in the end zone.  

Then run the Statue of Liberty play for 2 points.  

Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

That's what they should have gotten.  The red zone offense sucks so bad this year.

What a great and much needed defensively play that was by Jordan Babineaux on what would have been a catch by Terrell Owens for a first down.

I'm surprised we're not blitzing more.
Does Marshall not know who we have playing in the secondary?

Love that Peterson signing.

If Jennings wraps up Owens right away, the Cowboys might not have gotten into Gramatica's field-goal range.

locklear
DeMarcus Ware ran through him like he was Heather Locklear on that play.  Third down is a bad time to do that.  

Too bad that right sideline bomb to Jackson didn't connect.

Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

by wackomann on Jan 6, 2007 5:50 PM PST reply actions  

yay
Great playcall for a fullback draw on 3rd and 7.  

Good gracious.  It should be 14-3 right now.

Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

by wackomann on Jan 6, 2007 6:08 PM PST reply actions  

grr.
The fact that Dallas has been good all year on third down doesn't make me any less angry.  Peterson driving Jones back is great, but a third-down conversion across midfield is a major buzzkill.
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

by wackomann on Jan 6, 2007 6:22 PM PST reply actions  

thank you, defense
Thanks for a crazy-ass fourth down conversion.
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

by wackomann on Jan 6, 2007 6:27 PM PST reply actions  

let me once again stress...
The Seahawks should have had at least two touchdowns by now.  Instead, they're down by four at half unless Burleson surprises the crap out of all of us in the next 11 seconds.
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

Half Time Recap
We are winning the field position battle, but that's something that can change in a flash.

Marshall's game plan and play calling have been excellent. I'm still worried about our run D in the second half, though. This game is way too close. We need to keep Romo passing, we've gotten good pressure and it's definitely screwing him up, but we've yet to make much of that.

The Witten fumble was a complete fluke, but awesome nonetheless.

Our offense has been decent. It's, at least, keeping the D fresh. We are playing poor close to the goal, something that's been a problem all year. Hasselbeck has seemingly reverted to v.2003 ever since his knee injury.

Alexander has been strong, but he has to learn when to not cut-back.

A four point lead is all but meaningless; this is a new game and there is a good chance one of these teams is going to pull away in the second half. If the Hawks establish the pass I think it will be them, if Dallas establishes the run then, well, one and done, Hawks fans.

by John Morgan on Jan 6, 2007 6:32 PM PST reply actions  

remember...
I remember when Matt Hasselbeck's completion percentage wasn't crap.  He hasn't really been sharp with his passes, either.  
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

by wackomann on Jan 6, 2007 6:35 PM PST reply actions  

This game
Looks like pretty much every other Seahawk game I've seen this season.

Oh look, there's Jerome Bettis...

by ThundaPC on Jan 6, 2007 6:35 PM PST reply actions  

That would be cool
to see Alexander on a broadcasting crew.

by John Spartan @ Field Gulls on Jan 6, 2007 6:41 PM PST up reply actions  

Well this sucks
Holmgren's playcalls are getting very old.

Also, has Peyton Manning's hair always been so dark?

by John Spartan @ Field Gulls on Jan 6, 2007 6:37 PM PST reply actions  

buried
Burleson got buried after he caught that punt.  Good thing he didn't fumble it.

Jerramy!
Woot.  He had a good game last week.  Doing OK so far tonight.

Stop calling the damn draw play for Strong.  Of COURSE it's short.

good gracious
Getting stuffed twice on 3rd and 1 and getting a touchdown on the same drive is quite a rollercoaster.  

The defense has got to follow suit now.

by PositivePaul on Jan 6, 2007 7:04 PM PST reply actions  

little time
It's great to control the ball for a massive clock-eating drive, but it doesn't matter if you allow crazy-ass long pass plays to the opposing team, or if you allow kicks to get run back.  Dare I say, it's like facing the freakin' Rams.  A lot of points can get put onto the board in very little time.  
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

by wackomann on Jan 6, 2007 7:06 PM PST reply actions  

Returns are mostly just fluke plays.
The points don't come off the scoreboard, but our drive was more imnportant because our offense was doing something they can do again. All-in-All, return TDs suck; not the worse thing that can happen.

by John Morgan on Jan 6, 2007 7:10 PM PST reply actions  

Pass O is getting going...
I have a good feeling about this game for the first time all afternoon.

...just the gas you just released.  I feel a little better, too.  Heh.

by PositivePaul on Jan 6, 2007 7:14 PM PST up reply actions  

come on
The Seahawks need something more out of their drives than punts that pin the Cowboys inside the 20.  Get points, for goodness' sake.  It's getting late and you don't have the lead.  
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

Groan.
There goes my ice scream.

by John Morgan on Jan 6, 2007 7:24 PM PST reply actions  

replay might not matter
Just heard Jackson's out for the game, and if Hackett's out too, I just don't know.  Hasselbeck hasn't had rhythm all day.  They'll get good yardage with one play, then the next is an incomplete pass or a stuff.  Just no rhythm.  
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

by wackomann on Jan 6, 2007 7:25 PM PST reply actions  

Foot on the line
He was out of bounds.  Too bad, so sad, this isn't college ball.

If the refs mess this one up, you know this gamme's rigged like the Super Bowl.

Shit.
Maddon & Michaels were right.  Zoom shows it was too close to call.

I think he's out, but you can't overturn that.

I still think we should be blitzing more.
Whatever Hamlin said, Jones is hella pissed--makes you wonder.

dallas 20-13
The Seahawks need no less than seven points on this next drive.  How about the Dallas playcalling on that field-goal drive?  Two passes to get across midfield, then six run plays to eat clock before the field goal.  
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

by wackomann on Jan 6, 2007 7:36 PM PST reply actions  

there's your game
With what the Dallas running game's been doing, this one's over unless something spectacular happens.  Or a turnover.  Maybe the new guy runs back a pick or something, but I doubt it.
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

Love what a clusterf#*$ that first play was after the pass interference.  everyone missed their blocks, Strong missed his block, and Alexander was screwed.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!

Those DEs weren't even anywhere close to him. He really needs to stop running like a frightened child when they get close to him.

by NoNameX on Jan 6, 2007 7:57 PM PST reply actions  

Good thing that Tatupu was out of bounds...
In spite of botching the extra point, we still got an extra point out of it (had it been a touchdown).

Now, defense, it's your f'ing turn to get the job done.
