Great win today obv.
And LOL at the shot of Sean Payton's facepalm as he is sitting in the box watching the Saints getting owned at home.
Hella of a good game today. The D is second to none, Lynch is a bull and Wilson looked sharp.
And the punter, wow. Good Canadian kid from my home province.
Whats that? The Saints won?Quote:

The legend of this defense, this Magnificent Eleven, continues to grow.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — How long has it been?
"Last one was against Dallas, right?" Seahawks safety Earl Thomas said.
"No. Not that long. We gave up one against Green Bay," cornerback Richard Sherman corrected him. "I'm going to say 147 minutes."
How long has it been since the Seahawks defense surrendered a touchdown?
"Man, I don't know and I don't really care," safety Kam Chancellor said. "We don't want to give up any touchdowns. This is just the way we play."
"I would say an hour and some change," defensive tackle Alan Branch said.
How long?
The answer is 128 minutes.
"How many?" defensive end Jason Jones asked. "One hundred twenty-eight minutes? Wow. That's pretty impressive."
"Wooh!" Branch said. "I'll take that every time."
Two hours and eight minutes.
"That's crazy," rookie defensive end Bruce Irvin said. "I mean crazy. This is one of the elite defenses in the league."
"One twenty-eight? Dang, that is a long time," Chancellor said. "But we've got to keep it going. It's a long season, man."
The legend of this defense, this Magnificent Eleven, continues to grow.
On a gray late Sunday afternoon, the Seahawks defense made another gaggle of great plays. Over and over again, this best defense in franchise history frustrated the Carolina Panthers.
Late in the third quarter, Brandon Browner forced and recovered DeAngelo Williams' fumble, the play that saved this game. The Hawks scored the go-ahead touchdown five plays later.
On a fourth-and-goal from the 1 with under four minutes to play, the defense gave Cam Newton no options. The Carolina quarterback rolled to his right, couldn't find an open receiver and short-armed a throw into the ground.
"We stayed disciplined on that play," Chancellor said after this unsightly 16-12 win.
And on the Panthers' final possession, Irvin stripped Newton and recovered the football on the Panthers' 31.
Ballgame!
On another day when the Seahawks offense played poorly enough to lose, the defense wouldn't let it.
On a day when the game shouldn't have been this close, when, once again, the Seahawks' red zone offense was awful, the defense kept returning to the field and smacking down the Panthers.
Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson threw two more interceptions, including a pick six to Captain Munnerlyn. But the defense picked him up.
"I think everybody on the defense expects to make some kind of big play in every game," rookie linebacker Bobby Wagner said.
Wagner had six tackles and 1 ½ sacks. Pass rusher Chris Clemons spent a large portion of the game in the Panthers' backfield, chasing and hitting Newton. And Irvin had two more sacks.
The defense won another game for the Seahawks.
But this team can't keep asking the defense to win games, can it?
"Why not?" Branch said. "That's the way we look at it."
"We don't care," Chancellor said. "We hold ourselves to a high standard. And we like playing defense. This is what we signed up for."
These Seahawks defenders are The Three-And-Outs, so good the Panthers converted only 2 of 11 third downs, so good they held Carolina to 190 yards.
Wagner sacked Newton on a third-and-seven. Clemons and Wagner combined for a sack on a third-and-eight. And Irvin sacked Newton on a third-and-10.
"The game was on us, so we pinned our ears back and we went hunting," Irvin said. "We live for that. We love to get after it. If it's on us to seal the win every week, we'll do it. We take pride in that."
Newton, who seems to have regressed since his 2011 rookie season, completed only 12 of 29 passes and had a quarterback rating of 56.8. In his defense, against the Seahawks secondary, it was hard to find an open receiver.
"That's our job. That's what we're paid to do," Sherman said. "You ask a construction worker to go do his job every day. We do the same thing. It never stops with our defense. That's what it's about.
"We play in Seattle, so it kind of goes unnoticed, but we've got a lot of great players out there. It's no fluke. It's not an accident. We have great players making great plays in big games."
Forget geography, this is a defense that is getting noticed. A defense on which the Seahawks will have to hang their season.

Lol @ thinking this team has any shot. They will be lucky to win 1 out of their next 4 games. NE? No. SF? No. DET? Maybe. MIN? No.
Another 8-8 season from the Shithawks.
We lose the Sonics, who will be a title contender for the next 10 years with Durant and Westbrook.
We get to keep the Mariners. Who are probably a 100 loss team if not for poor Felix Hernandez, who's talent will rot away for a decade much like Ichiro. Even with Hernandez, the Mariners are so outmatched in their division, they should be allowed to use neon green softballs while batting.
We get to hold onto the Shithawks, who are a mediocre team at best. Who also have not been relevant since they Moneymakered their way into the Super Bowl and disappointed 49 other states and 98% of the country by doing so. Seahawks in the SB? Fucking snooooorrrrreeeee.
We get no NHL team, yet California and New York get 3 apiece. Fuck you very much Gary Bettman.
Im actually going to agree with you Anal I think its shitty whats happened with losing the SuperSonics, as for Hockey Little Napoleon Bettman will have to give in eventually I suspect with the reasonable success of Jr Hockey there(hell at least you guys get hockey to watch while the millionares and billionares have a dick waving contest in the NHL) and Vancouver being an instant natural rival. You might be surprised but there is talk of the Islanders moving if something doesnt give very soon with their arena issues in Nassau, NY, and I still dont see Hamilton,ON getting a team due to bitching and griping by both Buffalo and Toronto who both claim the area as marketshare. Also, theres still a chance despite Bettman's severe meddling and insistance to keep the Coyotes in Phoenix ,they could still be moved as problems persist with that deal thats been on and off so many times due to various issues it may finally explode in a nuclear fireball.Quote:

Welker will have a monster game and Hernandez is also going to play. And we haven't even talked about what Belichick does to rookie QBs........I will be with you pulling for the Hawks but I just don't see it happening.
Hawks are hanging, have a shot.
Seahawks get another prayer answered. Patriots shit the bed at the end of the first half. Way to find a way to lose a guaranteed 3 points. Tight clock and game management.
Tony I am disappoint :( There are probably thousands of great Pete Carroll pics and yet you throw in Busey?? May you dream of Rick Mirer tonight Tony. Sweet dreams sweet prince.Quote:

Checked the stats earlier today and they were top 5 in YPA vs the run AND pass.
Those boys are physical and they fly around out there, really impressed.
Like how they are using Wilson too, lots of designed roll outs backside to give him windows and time to go down field.
Ask, and ye shall receive.Quote:

fuck me the Patriots were hard to handle, even from the 12th man's perspective. They came back to the line so quickly it was tough for the fans to keep up.
We made our adjustments though, and I'll be hoarse until Thursday but it was damn worth it. And no, I didn't leave with 2 minutes to go this time.
We don't believe you.Quote:

I believe you, Tony, but I also warn you against becoming complacent in your event exiting strategies. It's easy to leave early. Stay strong.
The Green Bay game was an aberration with lots of ancillary factors. Plus, my dad, brother and I all had a drink before the game and admitted our fail to ourselves and each other and vowed never shall that happen again.Quote:

Well, my brother and I did, my dad doesn't give a fuckin shit as long and the hawks win.
Plus we had Tony Jr with us today and he is the jr voice of reason keeping us in line.
Hilarious. You spent the whole day Tuesday saying you had, "no regrets". "It was just as good watching it with 20 random asshats in a dive bar". Glad to see you've finally admitted what everyone else already knew.Quote:

Talk about owning faces the Green Bay football Packers destroyed who I thought was the best team in football. After losing Cedric Benson and with Jennings out, and without half of the defensive starters they crushed the Texans. Atl is a fake they arent a super bowl team.
I admitted it on the 26th guy.Quote:

first like :20 is suspicious lol and then he breaks out into song and just wins
Can't believe the line for this game vs 49ers. Grabbed it at +7.5 last night, knew there was no way it was going higher, probably lower if anything.
Now down to 7.
Wish I would have bet more.
