Today's election day and so I look for a distraction to make it pass by a bit faster and naturally I turn to football. 

There are some thoughts that have been rolling round in my head and I thought I'd see if any people around here wanted to chat about them.  Don't be shy, I just thought it'd be fun to have a general discussion thread here.  Sure, John Morgan is the best football analyst anywhere, but sometimes the front page just isn't enough for me and I want to chat.  So in no particular order . . . . .

I have recently realized something:  this site is freakin awesome!!

I don't mean this just as hyperbole or natural hometown pride.  I mean that this site is objectively better than the others.  Since this news is a recent discovery of mine I thought there might be other people here who don't realize exactly how lucky Seahawks fans are to have this place, hence this diary.

How did I make this realization?

The real world debate rages between SA and MoMo but the question I have isn't about who Holmgren should use more but who he will use more: should I start MoMo or SA on my fantasy team?

I'm in a point per reception league, which really increase MoMo's value.

So will Holmgren use the 49er game as a chance to pound the ball with SA in a desperate attempt to fix the running game, or at least experiment with what is and isn't working?  Or will he continue to move toward a platooning system, maybe using a game the Seahawks should dominate as an excuse to see more of MoMo and Weaver and give SA some rest for his nagging injuries?

Advice?

I also offer up the comment space below for all fantasy questions from people seeking the collective genius of the Field Gulls readership.

After watching yesterday's game I was obviously pleased.  It was great to see the defense dominate, even if it wasn't exactly against the Patriots.

But at the end of the game I also thought "well, that John Morgan guy won't be able to slam Alexander after this game."

So I read the game summary and surprise, surprise . . .

Ok, this isn't really a defense of these two players per se as much as it is my own mental justification as to why they continued to receive playing time as starters while struggling.

I am not trying to pick a fight here, I would like to offer some potential reasoning and hear what you think.  To be fair I haven't really heard this reasoning from McClaren or anyone else, so I'm probably just trying to justify Mariners actions in my own mind, so be it.

Okay, here's the theory:
