Seattle just might be this years cinderella story.
First Wilson, a raw rookie QB who wasn't expected to be the starter, throws an interception that is somehow called a touchdown on the last play to beat Green Bay. This turn of events looks like it's going to go a long way to helping them squeak into the playoffs then...
They're called for a bogus, BS penalty(see above gif) that keeps the San Francisco drive alive & looks like SF will score to cue a comeback. They end up holding them & forcing a chip shot field goal which is not only blocked but returned for a TD to basically end the game. I don't remember the last time I saw that happen. I mean, Akers hit the one fucking thing posiible & bounced perfectly to the guy(almost like a pass that hits a receiver in full stride) to run it back for a TD.
Maybe they're a team of destiny. It helps that they are also a very good team with a great home record(should be 1 loss TBH) but it looks like this could be their year.
Of course cmoney is GOD for laying off this after SF walked into Foxboro & kicked ass.
Congrats Tony & enjoy the ride.

Russell Wilson is in the conversation for offensive rookie, Bobby Wagner is in the conversation for defensive rookie, and may win it. Richard Sherman is going to the pro bowl and may get some Defensive Player of the year votes, and both Marshawnn Lynch and Russell Wilson are in the MVP conversation. Awesome.
I'm sure most of you are aware of it, but theredzone.org is a great place for NFL articles from around the league as it provides a repository for links to local football articles from around the country.
Casey Hayward should be the run away def roy. Pff has him the best cb in coverage in all of football. He hasnt had a penalty or given up a td all year. Qb's throwing at him have a 27% rating the next closet is Jennings at 46.8 and Richard Sherman at 48.6. Theres 2 lower then those 2 but they havent had enough snaps to mention, but even then Hayward is 10% lower. He has 6 ints 11 pass defends and 2 missed tackles all year. Just insane numbers.
Going into the draft 2 lbs I wanted GB to take were Wagner and L David and they both are beasts.
Seattle imo has been overrated since they beat the Bears in Chi, and I knew if they beat SF they would be extremely overrated in the media. Then they destroyed cmoneys niners, so let the media storm strike, but just remember barring a SF loss to Zona which theres a better chance of Lederar admitting wrong doing then Seattle has to win on the road.
Let me remind everyone they lost @
SF
Miami
Det
Zona
STL
4 bad teams and 1 playoff team. Seattle is playing better now but so are alot of teams. The GB Football Packers have won 9 of the last 10.
Just saying if Seattle was the 1 seed they would have at least a shot, but their not and they might lose Sherman for the playoffs.
Mannings having a great year no doubt, but he shouldnt be the MVP imo. Numbers wise Rodgers is better in every category except yards. If you werent penalized for sacks in total qbr then Rodgers would be crushing everyone. Not sure how a bad oline should punish you if anything it should make your numbers look better.
Adrian Peterson should be the runaway hands down MVP of the league. The problem with both Manning and AP is everyone is talking about the injuries they cam back from and thats not fair to everyone else involved. Is it amazing what they came back from? Yes it is but that doesnt mean Rodgers or Brady should be penalized for not getting hurt. Like it or not its going to be manning or AP because of their injuries and to me AP should win it easily. People forget that his touches were limited the first few weeks, and he has a chance to break ED's record. Just insane I hope AP wins it, but I wish it could be for what hes done not what hes come back from regardless of how amazing it is.
Russell Wilson owning Ahmad Brooks twice on the same play last night.
Kam Chancellor was flagged for unnecessary roughness on this play.
Thoughts?
Its awful, but he will still be fined. It happened to Nick Perry of GB earlier this year. When the head whips back because of a vicious hit they dont care if its legal or not. Its ok when the refs flag it at full speed, but when the league reviews it sees its a legal hit then fines the guy is just bullshit.
Yup. the league keeps chasing its own tail with this "Violent, but legal hit" scenario. I wonder if a few years down the road they'll just eliminate full-speed hits. Something like "if you have been running for 10 yards untouched and hit with your upper body unto another person its a foul" type deal. Then every game will have scores of 85-81.
I remember the ref behind the play throwing his flag first, then the other two threw theirs after he threw his. In real time, when I saw it, I was facing both of them and I thought it was a helmet to helmet hit at first. It was obvious on replay, but I can't really fault the refs call. Anytime someones head snaps back like that, they are probably gonna call it. Most of the time they'll be right. Vernon Davis is a beast of a man. Takes some kind of hit to knock a guy like that senseless and out of a game.
I agree with all of that.
The penalty was for the defensive player launching himself at the receiver. They have been clear this year that you can't intentionally leave the ground and become a missile, particularly when the other player is either in the air or not looking at you. He doesn't get a lot of height on this play, but he does leave the ground.
They have to protect these players. I don't want to see guys getting permanently disabled by football. That rule protects defensive players too.
Agreed this is why the get paid alot of money. Goodell is ruining the game. These guys will be told it was a great play by their coaches, but they get flagged and fined for it. Its even more messed up when its on a qb, because you only have a short window to hit him before he throws the ball, so you have to go full speed, but then when you get to him you cant hit him at full speed if your a beast of an athlete because it will look to violent.
This is textbook and he got fined for it.
