PrintI said to my wife "Baltimore is the Sea-Ravens."
And she said "Why not call them the Raven-Hawks? That's so much cooler."

Ravenhawks is pretty cool

I dunno I think you gotta have the Sea in there somewhere.
RavenHawks does sound cooler tho.
Sounds like a half-elven sexpot from a bad series of fantasy novels.
I love it.
Cake for me too, please.
still waiting for play to be stopped as
Sandra Bullock walks on the field to give Oher a motivational speech
That is not an amoebe defense
or a stampede defense, or whatever the hell it is you call the “amoeba” defense whenever you have no idea what you’re looking at, Cris.
I figured out Collinsworth's meme of the night:
It’s cold down there.

Oh, ok so not a broken nose, just a "bloody nose".
I suppose Ben’s nose is always horrifically bent inward, to the left.
Wooooo!
it's definitely broken
but since Ben is pretty well indestructible it doesn’t matter
Right. To Ben, it's all just flesh.
Wooooo!

did you read about what happened to him in that motorcycle accident
dude was seriously fucked up
did you see that throw by Ryan for the go ahead score?
ridiculous… hard boot leg to his left throws a bullet to Jenkins near the pylon…
Damn, the Winter Classic is going to be awesome.

Heap ruled out.
Yikes. Big loss for Ravens.

Pretty pass. Pretty catch.

And awesome blitz pickup by Rice.

I hope that the University of Arizona gets blown out in the Alamo Bowl
and that the Huskies crush the Cornhuskers in the Holiday Bowl. That’ll show those moronic Alamo Bowl people. Grumble grumble
Nice facemask there on Housh.
Typical dirty steeler play.

Woooo!
I’m telling you, at the pace Duck alums are going, we should have signed and activated Jordan Kent today.
Wooooo!
Flacco has a great arm.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
They would have a quarterback and that quarterback would be bad and thus less able to take advantage of Boldin
but Boldin would still run better routes and have better hands than Breaston, and allow Breaston to again play from the slot.
Heh, wasn't the whole rationale for letting Boldin go was because
they thought that Breaston would be able to fill his role?
You know what I mean.
Maybe it was Doucet, though, I don’t know. I think I remember RotB saying something like that at the beginning of the season or right after the trade or something.
had the best qb rating among Cardinal qb's...
although only 6 attempts
At least Minute to Win It looks fun.
That Million Dollar Money drop is asinine. My roommate and I auditioned for the show last month – the casting director had all 14 people in the room shouting over each other to answer a question. That and not a single team in the UK version won anything because you’re forced to risk all your money on a 50-50 shot on the last question.
FG's second favorite football-illiterate semi-troll.
I think Cam Morrah had a better game today than Carlson has had all season.
Awesome and depressing all at once.
Well shit.
The good news is it looks Seattle is awesome against TE’s, which seems correct, haven’t seen many TE’s do much against us this year.
Zack Miller is pretty good, I think.
Olsen, Gates and Davis has you mentioned. So it looks like we played a few good ones.
Mostly in the 2nd half with the Chargers playing from behind.
Not the most impressive showing against a TE, but not completely awful either.
All in the second half, I believe.
Plus the Chargers passing game is almost all down field, they’re going to get their yards. Not saying Seattle was great against Gates, but all things considered it could of been worse.
Next play hasn't started yet.
Never mind that they’ve had about 10 minutes to throw the challenge flag.

At least that Our House/Jingle Bells mashup is actually kinda cool.
FG's second favorite football-illiterate semi-troll.
Madness.
Jingle Bells melody to Our House chord progression. It works somehow.
FG's second favorite football-illiterate semi-troll.
So now's the time for the Seahawks to sign Engram.
Assuming BMW can’t play against the 49ers. It’d be a dream for Hasselbeck too. Two guys with great hands that he can shoot passes over the middle to.
not in our lap anymore :(

Do we know what the performance threshold is?
I suppose they never release that info, do they.
Cake for me too, please.
They probably will eventually
It’s probably more dependent on starts and PB appearances than picks, though.

Right.
Hope it’s snaps over starts, though. Too easy to get around the latter.

Surprised the refs didn't nullify Wilson's pick with a flag.
By virtue of him being a former Seahawk.
...
Jesus Christ. Flacco has a cannon.

He's got a couple of possession receivers ahead of him in the lineup
that are better than him and more time to build rapport with Flacco.

Is ambassador to Ireland a ceremonial title?
Or is it just unnecessary that Daniel Rooney actually be in Ireland? This isn’t the first time I’ve seen shots of him at games.
He flies back.
I think you take the job so you can be in country, that’s the fun of it. You collect swag and swill pints with the locals.

Ambassador positions are often political appointments

And of course they don't show highlights for the Seahawks game
but do show highlights of the Cowboys game. Sigh…
That should be a good game though.
First week of FFL playoffs— I’ll be needing Vick to fucking go off huge.

So ...
might find a solution in the game thread if it drives you nuts.
Unfortunately, blocking ads will only lead to more invasive advertising.
That's enough incentive to root for the Seahawks to make the playoffs.
Just so we can have a Sunday of football without the ad.
That would be awesome
I accidentally clicked it on my lap top today at least four time and during a game thread thats a huge pain in the ass.
So I think Cat Scratch Read is more hilarious when they lose than Niners Nation.
Thanks Walter Jones, I hope a 1,000 moths infest your jersey hanging in the stadium and it falls in pieces like snowflakes from the chomping moth horde!
They've had ample time to hone their shtick this season.
Coach Fox, the “Teflon John”, lives on. Although I suppose there’s no point in firing him after Week 13, especially not with the Andrew Luck sweepstakes looming.
Cake for me too, please.
Ah, the palpable, desperate lashings of a one-win team.

I think he'll make just a few too many boneheaded plays per game...
to ever really be considered ‘good’.
I think a lot of us did.
I mean, if you go back to the draft threads you’ll see a bunch of people calling for the ’Hawks to draft him.
I think he still can.
Carolina is a pretty toxic situation right now but I don’t think he looks like he’s being ruined yet.
It got pretty bleak.
They opened with a dominant drive, Matt showed his form. When Stokely dropped a pass on third down, I figured it was all over.

Suspensions would do something.
There’s a limit to how much the equipment can be improved. I suspect we’re near that limit already.
Cake for me too, please.
You don't think football helmets can be improved?
Safe and still affordable might be the bigger problem.
not sure money is this issue...
aesthetics is apparently an issue… I read a story about a helmet that was better at preventing concussions but the players thought it looked funny.
Theres also issues with the NFLs contract with Reebok (I think)
there are other manufacturers who have potentially better equipment but they aren’t able to use them.
Probably, but the better the equipment it seems
the more the players fly around and hit each other at higher speeds, which at some point does more harm than good.
And the equipment doesn't make players stronger and faster
Every sport has become bigger, taller, faster—contact sport or not.
I think leading with the helmet should be illegal
other than that any hit should be legal…
I know what you mean...
and determining the intention of the tackler in that regard is hard to distinguish… but some hits are clearly uncalled for.
True. But there have been adjustments over time, right?
They used to close line each other, for example.
Its really simple though.
Look at what you’re hitting and you’re generally going to be fine.

There's a limit to how effective equipment can be when players launch themselves headfirst like torpedoes
But if the goal is get players to change their behavior by penalizing improper technique they have made some baffling choices with some of their fines.
Warren Sapp brought up a good (seemingly) point the week they starting imposing suspensions for
helmet-to-helmet hits. And that was that it might have to do with the fact that defenders don’t actually practice tackling much. They don’t tackle the ballcarrier during scrimmages and thus use their heads to try and stop them because they’re not used to using their arms for the tackle.
And because players are bigger and faster and create more inertia
and the Golden Age concept of “wrapping up” is difficult when you’re breaking from a zone at full speed towards another player running full speed the opposite direction.
well and aren't they trying to separate the ball from the carrier?
that’s the whole point if you ask me… otherwise you wrap the guy up and drag him to the ground
People see the big hits
from what I remember, studies indicate it’s the repetition of blows to the head that cause the greatest long term damage.
So has anyone else noticed that Chris Clemons has only
one celebration for a TFL/sack? It seems strange that he hasn’t made another one up yet.
I wish I could see this game
Its 8:25am in Tajikistan, no tv, no sports, time for work. fuck.
... Tajikistan? That's like, in Asia right?
Wooooo!

I hope Baltimore wins
They’re my favorite AFC team to watch outside of the Colts.

San Francisco game is essentially for our season, right?
I mean, there is no possible way we beat Atlanta and probably Tampa Bay so we’ve got to beat the Niners.

If we beat the Rams in week 17
and they come in a 7-9, I think we might have the tie-breaker (div record). But, yes.

Here's how the schedule looks
St. Louis plays @ Saints, vs. Chiefs, vs. 49ers, @ Seattle
Seattle plays @ 49ers, vs. Falcons, @ Bucs, vs. St. Louis
More than likely I think the Seahawks lose all 3 and the Rams go 1-2 by beating the Niners. So it’s almost inevitable it comes down to the final week.
I suffer from IBS, otherwise known as "Influx of Billick Syndrome".
Really?
The 49ers aren’t that good and they’ve lost Gore for the season. A win there certainly wouldn’t be out of the question.
Plus they are probably the worst coached team in football.
Wonder how much effort that team is still putting in for Singletary.
They've also been unexpectedly competitive in some games
and they may want to get up for a game vs the likely div winner(s).

It is their last chance
A loss and their out of it completely. A win and some hope is renewed since they have divisional games left.
I suffer from IBS, otherwise known as "Influx of Billick Syndrome".
Weren't we just 14-0 down to the 1-10 Panthers?
I don’t know what to expect from this team and we get off to some shockingly bad starts every week.
I suffer from IBS, otherwise known as "Influx of Billick Syndrome".
Well a lot of it depends if BMW and Obo are healthy.
With those two in there our offense is a lot better.
I'm scared of our defense
Even in victory I’ve lost all confidence in them.
I suffer from IBS, otherwise known as "Influx of Billick Syndrome".
They sure buckled down during the second half today.
Granted part of it was because Clausen is godawful, but Troy Smith probably isn’t much better.
We really have no idea what to expect out of the offense or defense.
Special teams is the only constant.
I think they could get excited just to ruin our chances
just like “Little Brother” yesterday.

It's not out of the question but I don't think Seattle should be favored in any games at this point
especially on the road.
Fear Troy Smith's pocket mobility could rip us apart.
I suffer from IBS, otherwise known as "Influx of Billick Syndrome".
Any chance the Falcons will be in a position to sit their starters?
I’m thinking not, but that would be nice.
We just have to be within a game of St. Louis by Week 17
Even if we lose all 3, St. Louis would need to have won 2 of their 3 to clinch
Overall record
Then div record.

Eh, that was definitely an iffy penalty if they call it.
Miller is dropping to the ground right as the defender was close to him.
I guess I'd like to know why you would launch yourself head first towards a defender...

I don’t know, I see what you’re saying, I just don’t like trying to kill the clock in that situation, I mean if you can…great, but you gotta go for the score there, especially down by 4.
Yeah, I definitely see your point, but in the end they got the TD.
And with the 2 minutes warning siting there I’m sure how much time they could or really taken off the clock.
Why the hell did the entire defense move to the middle?
