Seattle hasn't exactly been a world beater. Beat Dallas in week 3, played LA close in a loss. Slipped by Carolina. That's about it.


Agreed. However, they bring effort and execute well.

Their oline has been awful the couple seasons but have rebuilt it somewhat and have the #1 rushing offense.

We clearly have superior talent but mostly look disinterested on the field.

Coaching aside our players really need to play with some urgency.

I normally think it's just our emotions when we bitch about the lack of calls against the Puke in Lameland. When you watch a game as a neutral it really is appalling.

Erin runs and get his ass handed to him, legally. Olineman comes to his little rescue and takes the DB 20 yards downfield after the whistle. Refs are right there in the middle of the scrum. They don't throw the flags until Atlanta gets in the mix to help the DB out. It's now somehow 'offsetting'.

I'm not watching (power was out due to snow/ice) and checked out that game's boxscore and was wondering how the score was so lopsided after looking at the player stats. I checked out the team stats and found out the penalties were: ATL 8-66 & GB 1-7 plus SIX (is this a record?) 1st downs due to penalty for GB.

No way in hell the Vikings win a night game on the road vs. a playoff competing team. Especially a team with an excellent QB and a #1 ranked rushing attack. It would be an epic upset for the Vikings to win.

Panthers lose to CLE

If Eagles lose and we win, our playoff chances jumps to 88%

Vikings score a measly 10 freaking points against this same defense...something is wrong with this team.

I know Miami tends to give New England a hard time in Miami, but damn, we're talking about Ryan Tannehill!

Our guys are hampered by a poor head coaching staff, from the head coach to the coordinators and special teams.

I don't think the Saints are any more talented or special than the Vikings personnel wise, but they're coached so differently. I see poor decisions, tentative play calling, lack of schemes, and no cohesion.

I hope there are some changes next season...

Cowboys seem to get better each week.

Status: offline 		So let me get this right. It's not a penalty to walk in to a team celebration and 'break it up' in the endzone? That's what the Cowboys just did. Philly was doing some dumb celebration where guys were lining up in a particular way (not sure what it was supposed to be) and Cowboy linemen just got in the middle of them to break it up, no flags thrown at all.

Status: offline 		Pitt getting away with an incomplete pass instead of a fumble (on a strip) is such bullshit call

What's more bullshit than that is they blew the whistle on a play that is so close they have to slow it down to get an accurate read on it. The Oakland defender had that ball and was going to pick it up and run with it. Easy play to review (automatic with turnover) and get right if by chance it actually was a pass

Well F duh! Don't you think those are the types of play you swallow the whistle on and you can get it right when looking at the replay if there is a turnover?

I listened to an interview with Ed Hochuli Friday night in which he said he studied 20 hours a week in preparation for the next game. If that's true and they study this much wouldn't one of the things you'd want to be a learned behavior is don't blow that call dead unless you are absolutely 100% sure? Seriously, more times than not that is a fumble anyway.

- IMO, that was a crap call and the decision feels like it was to back his boy who screwed up instead of getting it right on the field.

-- That has the same effect as an inadvertent whistle

--- so how the heck are you guys doing? good?

Can the 1st team run the clock all the way down to a few seconds, then kick a FG to win in overtime, or would the 2nd team still be given a possession?

Joe Buck said if Dallas was able to do that they would win.

Murray is so good that the Cowboys' website doesn't even list him on their roster. They're probably trying to make sure nobody tries to pick him up in FA!

Considering it's a tie if nobody scores this seems like a silly question.

That was probably Jerry Jones. looks like he is wearing a mask for a face from all the botox or something.

Seems like early, the flags came whenever the Pukers needed them. Seems weird considering the Puke should be playing for draft position at this point. Didn't pay much attention to the second half.
