NFL rules. Game can't be aired because of CBS having the doubleheader
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
Dumbest rules ever.
Because it switched right before the FG.

I was excited for Calvin Johnson's reverse dunk on the goalpost.
I haven’t seen a double-pump reverse in a while, that was good stuff…

Fuck it people can make fun of me
I picked Stafford off the waiver wire last night and he scored 60 points for me in the FG invitational.
I'm glad I stayed with Tony Romo.
He kicked ass.

Just saw the highlight. Horrible defense from the Browns.
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
So, did I read this right
Hasselbeck did not hurt his shoulder on the tackle against Detroit, but it was a preexisting injury?
I heard that on the radio last week.
Something’s up, because that is not what the story was originally.
Well
I shouldn’t have speculated about his injury, but I am glad I questioned when it happened. I think it’s an outsiders job to question the team.
Leading his team from behind
again, even against the Browns, this is a big day for Stafford. To think, he’s in the objectively worst age group for a quarterback.
He is tight with Football Outsiders
but I guess when push came to shove, Schwarz is a bigger fan of reason.
If they don't know that,
and Ruskell has always waited a season too long to address the offense, they are blind. I know Hasselbeck is beloved, but he’s awful. I cringe watching him.
I'm pretty fed up already.
I think Ruskell may have a defense bias. In that, he innately values defense over offense and is prone to overvalue defensive talent.
I think Ruskell is back for sure
Hard to drop him when the talent he’s acquired has been good and he just now has his coaching staff in place, but I could see the organization regretting it.
I hope Hasselbeck is bad enough down the stretch to force the issue
the worst possible thing is a small revival a la Alexander in 2006.
He also had a relatively good start to 2007
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
I think the difference though.
Is that Hass is at the end of his contract. Shaun had just been given a huge contract and Ruskell may have been hoping to prove it right.
Also a die-hard Hawks fan.
by Hopefulmsfan on Nov 22, 2009 1:47 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah.
I do hope they end it after this year. Just like Shaun, it’s sad to see a great player just fade out like this.
Also a die-hard Hawks fan.
by Hopefulmsfan on Nov 22, 2009 1:51 PM PST up reply actions
Holmgren to me helped Shaun deteriorate
There is no way they didn’t know he had a broken foot after week 1 and then continue to play him for 2 more weeks, worsening his condition.
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
So you know how they went to the Denver game during OT, right?
Well, my roommate here in Denver was watching the Fox OT? game with the Giants and he got the “Due to contractual obligations we take you to your other game” line…
Except there was no other game. However, some Poker Stars type show was on, so he got to catch that instead of the end of a tight game.

If anyone wants a great no-frills stout, try Allagash Black.
It isn’t adorned like the Abyss, but for quality, it’s exceptional.
I got the abyss at work.
Haven’t gotten to try it yet though. I’ve been waiting fo the Hawks to win, might just open it on Turkey Day instead.

Flavor was more muddled
and it didn’t flavor as well when it warmed up. Don’t know where you’re at, but Belmont Station in Portland is a great place to find great beer for the same price.
I live up in Mill Creek.
I work at Central Market which has a pretty good selection, especially local breweries. I make trips to Portland once in a while too though so I’ll definitely check that out.
Also a die-hard Hawks fan.

Mill Creek Central Market is nice
Expensive prices for peanuts but they have good stuff. I shopped there on Super Bowl Sunday in 06.
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
Seems like Robert Ayers may be wasted in a 3-4.
I thought he was a 4-3 end for sure coming out. Anyone have thoughts on this?
Denver still has the Giants, Eagles, and Colts
With the NFC West cupcakes like Oakland and KC (yes, they still suck). If they lose today they’ll be 6-4.
9-7 here?
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
I'm calling a KC upset.
Let’s make it 8-8.

God, two picks in the top 16 would be dreamy.
Perfect spot. Lots of talent, not too expensive, lots of room to move around and get extra picks.
DROOLZ.
Cards 14 Rams 3
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
Time for his Stafford moment
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
Fricking BC Lions were worse than the Seahawks today
We need a new QB. I hate Buck Pierce.
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
I blame the offensive line.
Too much patchwork in there. Keeps getting our QB’s killed.
Buck still makes terrible decisions with time
And I’m not sure I feel like giving Wally Buono many more chances to resurrect this sinking ship. We have regressed every year since winning the Cup.
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
Oh no, I love Wally. I'd be very sad to see him go.
I remember being at a game last year and Wally was walking on at halftime… we were all yelling WALLY and he waved. Good stuff.
He's on the decline
Speaking of decline, I would decline the contract extensions of anyone in our secondary
Also the pass rush has sucked since Cameron Wake left.
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
How does a coach go into decline?
Just curious.
He walks downhill?

Last year's loss to Calgary was painful
Watching us not score from the 1 yard line at least 15 times.
Wonder how Michael Bumpus is doing there.

Fred Armisen. Game over.

Panthers play the Jets
Great running game, INT prone QBs.
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
Ouch, don't blink when you watch that game.
What’s going to be the over/under on INT TD’s in that game? 4
SEA!
We've got Pats and Jets here in SC.
I don’t even care to watch.

Pats are raping the Jets now. 21-0.

Warner got rocked. But he's still in the game. Leinart was ready for the INT.
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
So far the scores are 10-0, 14-0, 21-0, and 14-3 in these four afternoon games
Could be some time to get stuff done before SNF
Well not yet. But me seeing Simms with no helmet made me forget SD still had the ball.

Orton comes in and 3 plays later they're at the 5
I don’t enjoy this
He's not very tough or powerful and has average speed.
He’s underwhelmed so far. I want to see him play more…
Wait, which official was signaling touchback, mr. announcer?
Was it guy you felt the need to put a yellow circle around?
Because I was assuming it was the guy MOVING HIS ARM UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY.

When Sanchez hosts SNL, after winning the Superbowl...
…I’ll remember this!
Do that
Hopefully the Seahawks will be accomplished enough by then that I won’t have to find my fun on Sundays in petty personal victories.
I'm just glad we didn't draft him.
Though I admit to being intrigued for a while.
Very glad
but I didn’t think he was ever on the radar. Once Stafford was gone, I figured Curry was a shoe in.
I was pumped when we got Curry at 4.
So Sanchez blowing it is fine with me. It was the best choice at the pick we had.

I would have been fine with Crabtree
but I guess we can say he has character concerns. I would have been okay with Malcolm Jenkins too.
Fabreeze should really get an endorsement contract with Drew Brees.

Yep.
Or his knee was down. Either one.
But since the Seahawks aren’t getting those breaks, too frickin’ bad.
No matter what people say about Ruskell.
That deal with Denver was a great one. And looking better and better.
Also a die-hard Hawks fan.
If that pick turns out to be a franchise QB I will laff.
For a decade.
I would have loved to listen in to that phone call.
Part of me believes that Ruskell had to put Denver’s GM on hold for a few minutes so he could laugh his ass off before accepting the trade.
And we still got a 2nd round pick in the end.
Also a die-hard Hawks fan.
by Hopefulmsfan on Nov 22, 2009 2:34 PM PST up reply actions
I know that.
But people were finding problems with that as well when attacking Tim. Saying Denver was so good that it would be a 2nd round pick anyway so it was a stupid trade.

I know we have Forsett. But I still want to sign Sproles in the offseason.

Part of our screen only offense
Sproles and Forsett get every touch and we unload all of the receivers.
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
Intriguing
could we sign him before next season. I think we are already running a screen only offense.
We have a lot of checkdowns
Eliminate receiver routes and just send the linemen to a position to block downfield.
Hass would be 56-56 for 566 yards and 9 TDs every game.

You point out that he wasnt hurt for our game. If he had been hurt by the Seahawks, he would have been hurt for that game. I dont see where your confusion is coming from
