PrintI just heard Bill Cowher give his first key to the Jets beating the Titans:
Play Mistake Free Football
And now they're showing a Jet sacking Matt Hasselbeck evidencing New York's pass rush. The two teams haven't played since 2004. I have to ask, do sports fans really deserve so little?
According to Football Outsiders, Washington has the 11th ranked pass defense. That's on par with the Cardinals. Functionally, they're equivalent. Arizona embarrassed Seattle's passing offense and no one played worse than Hasselbeck. So here we go, one week later, does Hasselbeck play better? He can't bounce back, because last Sunday is in line with how he's played all season. Per play, Hasselbeck has contributed less than JaMarcus Russell. He's been, plainly, horawful.
Word is, Chris Spencer might not start. That would mean Field Gulls favorites Floyd Womack and Steve Vallos will start. Know the name Kedric Golston? Give it six hours. That should further weaken Seattle's run game putting that much more pressure on Matt Hasselbeck. And round and round...
Seattle needs a great game by its defense to win. With the conference out of reach, how jacked can they be? Seattle is completely outmatched and truly worse than their statistics say. Yet I have this sneaking suspicion Seattle will win. Watch Justin Forsett.

Finnegan just jammed Favre on a Wild Whatever
Answering the question, why not have the corner jam the quarterback?
What I've learned this morning
NFL coaches do not know the rules of the NFL. First Jeff Fisher and now Wade Phillips do not know that a player’s entire foot must be in bounds for the player to be in bounds.
What I've learned this morning
Jeff Fisher is environmentally friendly, preferring to sky dive to practice. And you don’t test Cortland Finnegan, my favorite black Irishman.

Just got an INT.
The refs are such idiots that they ruled it a backward pass when it doesn’t even matter since he took it midair…
They were

Wow... Anyone watching Baltimore vs. Philly?
The refs are BONING Philly. This is just terrible.
Not seeing it, but has McNabb played poorly?
by John Morgan on Nov 23, 2008 12:34 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah McNabb stunk it up...
8/18 with 2 Ints. I don’t think it was too wise to replace him with kolb, though. Kolb hasn’t shown anything thus far- his accuracy, arm strength and pocket presence is killing the eagles.
Also, Trevor Laws is playing and doing decently. He’s lined up at the nose and was pushed around a little bit at first, but seems to have settled down. The eagles are really stuffing the run right now.
Kolb throws an INT in the end zone to Ed Reed
Reed goes 108 yards, running past Kolb and Westbrook. Man I’d love to have that guy on my D.
McNabb has 2int and a fumble
Haven’t watched any of the game but caught a game break where he stared down DeSean Jackson allowing Ed Reed to come over and make an easy pick

Dammit
4-4 TEN30 (3:49) B.Favre pass incomplete deep right to L.Coles. PENALTY on TEN-C.Carr, Defensive Pass Interference, 24 yards, enforced at TEN 30 – No Play.
On a 4th down? That sucks.
I wonder how this happened?
1-10 DET28 (12:42) Det #11-D. Culpepper back in at QB. D.Stanton sacke…
Apparently Daunte fumbles, and Stanton is sacked?
It's totally worth it
That’s the word I was missing. I’ll forgo the rest due to lack of funny.

Perhaps some failed attempts at the wild cat?
Otherwise I too am perplexed

the mms link isnt working for me
any suggestions?
Prediction.
Should we lose today, the local media will spend the next four days lamenting the fact that the Seahawks didn’t manage to retain the services of Jim Zorn.
Yeah, I heard during the Dallas game
that Nick Folk hasn’t gotten a TB all season. Makes you appreciate Marr-Ay taht much more.
Hey look another touchback.
Hey look we still have two kickers on the roster.
Nice play Jennings.
Good start by the defense today.
My heart sank when he stumbled as he broke for the run
Thought he screwed his knee

Can't wait for Ruskell to knock this one out of the park.
At least we dont have McNabb.
Can't wait for Ruskell to knock this one out of the park.
Jesus Christ.
You’re not looking good today, Matt.
Agreed
He had all day in there. Somebody fucked up on that one. Hass hasn’t looked great, but he’s smart enough to not do that

Mare good from 44.
And we still have two kickers.
That may be true, but at least he hasn't thrown the ball to Landry
Can't wait for Ruskell to knock this one out of the park.
Mare for Pro Bowl?
He’s gotta be under consideration, right?

Sea-Bass did it a couple weeks ago against the Panthers.
It was in the neighborhood of 55-58 yards, the Raiders were not in the game in the 4th quarter. It was the same game he took the Raiders career scoring lead.

I truly hate our defense.
I fucking hate you Mariners
All the anger-inducing 3rd down conversions they allow.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Yes..this too..but they were on the field at the time.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Matt is so damn bad
I fucking hate you Mariners
On the plus side, the chances that Seattle doesn't draft a quarterback is approaching zero.
And that had no chance of converting the first.
Who is going to be worth drafting in this class though?

Can't tackle?
That’s okay. Just hurl yourself randomly in the ball carrier’s general area.

Not because I like him..it'd just be the topper on a terrible year.
I fucking hate you Mariners
The key to winning is to not do anything wrong and to have better players
It also helps to score more points than your opponent, but that’s optional.
Not getting called for bogus PIs on 3rd and 20 is also good.

First Half Cap:
Pearson: But it’s so simple…
All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would call a fullback or just fake a fullback draw? Now, a clever man would call a fullback draw, because he would know that only a great fool would expect you to pass on third and long. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not expect a pass. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not expect a fullback draw.
The West Coast offense is all about running and passing the ball. Especially passing, but even more so passing. A West Coast involves a quarterback. That’s key.
Vasgersian: John Carlson is Seattle’s leading receiver.
Pearson: Now, the thing that differentiates a West Coast is that it fianchettos its bishops topwise. Topwise. That’s key. When you’re playing chess, you have to establish the run. Get the team thinking run and you can disguise Greco’s Mate.
Vasgersian: Will the gang mate on this week’s Prison Break? Tune in to find out. You won’t want to miss the heated final fifteen minutes.
Pearson: Wilbur Jones has a good shot at earning a plaque in Coopertown.
Vasgersian: Will House get shot? Tune into a thrilling House and find out.
Pearson: Thing about the West Coast is it involves a ball. The ball must be in play. That’s key. Now watch Morris on this play. He doesn’t want to be tackles. He’s avoiding the tackle. That’s what he has to do. He has to move, while, and this is key, avoiding the tackle.

This Cover One Defense
Is killing us.
by HawksFanHernandez on Nov 23, 2008 3:00 PM PST reply actions
Russell was only even decent...
…playing 20 yards off the line in zone coverage. Leave him alone in the backfield and you’re taking a bad chance.
by HawksFanHernandez on Nov 23, 2008 3:01 PM PST reply actions
God dammit.
Does everyone try to convert fourth and short against us?
This defense reminds me of the Bears
I can’t make up my mind about how good it is.

Aw that's cute.
They’re using the slip-n-slide in Washington now.
BAHAHAH...this team rocks
I fucking hate you Mariners
he did have
a guy falling at his feet though, looks like he freaked out
What the hell Hasselbeck...
That was the worst pass ever…. taking out his anger on KoRo by passing it to Landry or something?
He had a couple of those last week as well...
If he is not done for the season then he need to knock that crap off.
Man, Hass, if you realized Morris was open sooner, and if you threw it a little better,
He might have gotten 10 yards instead of 4.
Yeah, Branch!
Is it wrong that I’m so happy a Seahawks receiver didn’t drop a pass?
by HawksFanHernandez on Nov 23, 2008 3:25 PM PST reply actions
He's not worth much as a free agent
Don’t see why Seattle can’t give him something reasonable, something front loaded.
Did Mare kick it like that on purpose?
by HawksFanHernandez on Nov 23, 2008 3:35 PM PST reply actions
He does that sometime
He kicks the ball kind of low, so every so often it just doesn’t get any lift.
And should we franchise Engram next year?
It’s a pretty useless tag, but I don’t think anyone’s going to steal him away…
by HawksFanHernandez on Nov 23, 2008 3:37 PM PST reply actions
3rd downs are so predictable.
Short pass, and then a run for the first down, and sometime more than just that.
No, Russell.
You want to wrap up the ball carrier. The guy holding the football.
That should go on the highlight reel
he bounced off one man and then attempted to tackle the offensive lineman. Classic.
With Russell
Any time is a bad time to play under man. Short circuits our entire defense.

Up for putting up a discussion topic? Your favorite top-10 films.
well, you can turn that one off
The Seahawks are on Fox, but CBS has the Titans/Lions game. The Seahawks play the late game, so I might eat during the early game and fall asleep for the carnage.
