Seattle will win the division with a record that doesn't get them the bye. They'll win their first playoff game and then lose on the road.

Then it's all downhill from there.

continue to draft real well

Their 2014 draft is nothing.

Two picks in round 2 and three in round 4 (their 1st 5 picks) have produced nothing.

Then they take a guy with major character flaws as their first pick in round 2 this year.

They will go down in flames fast enough and I will have my popcorn ready.

I think netting Graham will really bolster their offense. We know their defense is already very good.

Green Bay and Seattle are the favorites to make the NFCCG.

History shows that one or both of them wont make it. I would predict that the Packers are on shakier ground with a questionable defense.

Seattle is well balanced and has less of a chance of missing it. One injury to the Packers (Rodgers) and they are doomed. Seattle can weather it better.

Ha Ha... More like hit and park!

Seems he is Kaepernick's roommate... and Kaepernick is now dating Smith's Ex...

The car Smith hit was Kaepernick's, in their appartment parking lot... thus the vandelism charge.

Marcus Mariota era off to a very rocky start. So far in his first preseason game 2-3 for 16 yards and an int. Plus a fumble returned for a TD.

He's settled in a bit though. Looks much better but I agree, the first couple drives were disasters.

If not for injury, would Sterling Sharpe have been better than Jerry Rice?

OR

If not for injury and playing in GB when they weren't great......

To me, it's hard to do that what if with Jerry Rice, because health and longevity are two big parts of why he was the best. Even with the tighter rules about hitting WR's, it's difficult to think that we will see many WR's play as long as Rice did.

Carolina has not put enough resources towards WR and now it will bite them in the rear

Seattle also is in some trouble. Apparently trading their Center is hurting the OL much more than they thought

Their line is brutally bad right now

If the NFL is really serious about the safety of its players it will invest real dollars, time, and effort on mental wellness of players AFTER they leave the NFL!

Darrell Bevell: 'I wouldn't change' Super Bowl play call

Reminds me of every contestant that gets booted off early from the reality shows I watch. "You're one of the first people booted out of the game, do you think you'd change anything/your strategy?" "No I'd do everything the same".

Well then you're an idiot.

Possibly the worst play call in the history of sports

Only one that even competes is 76-77 NBA Finals

76ers are down by a bucket with a few seconds to play

Everyone expects Dr. J to get the ball as he is lighting the Blazers up

So idiot coach draws up a play for McGinnis who throws up a brick and loses the game and series

RG3 needs to retire or at the very least, demand a trade. He's going to get killed in Washington and I don't mean in the media. I mean...actual death

Funny how he got up after being killed a couple of times but was injured on the fumble recovery that didn't look like much.

Scherff sure looked stiff.

2/5 for 8 yards and a beating is not a good day at the office.

Manziel looks shinny in comparison.

And no matter what the media wants us to think, JM sucked. Yeah, he had a TD pass but it was against 4th stringers and guys that won't even make the team.

In both cases the coach got cute in the most important moment of the game. At that moment coaches should just put he ball in the hand of their most dominant player and let that player do what they do.

As for Bevell saying he wouldn't change anything...he can't dwell on the past, or regret the call, he needs to look forward. He just needs to learn from that mistake.

And as for that play, if not for a great play by the db, it would have won the Superbowl for them.

Don't you first have to admit to a mistake to learn from it. If he'd do it all over again the same doesn't sound like he admits it was a mistake.

Wasn't a particularly good throw.

wasn't a bad call, more of poor execution?

See, funny thing is, if it had worked, NOBODY would be calling it a bad call. The only reason it's a bad call is that it failed. Had they tried to run Lynch and he fumbled, they would have called that a bad call too.

They should have just run Beastmode, but they got cute and tried to catch the Pats D off guard. It failed, because Belichick, cheating dick that he is, always has his guys prepared and aren't often caught off guard.
