Sure, I understand why it looked like he could make the play at this point, but what I don't understand is why it was a passing situation at all. By any sane measure, this picture should show Marshawn Lynch celebrating in the end zone.
It's a process. They built a big cushion that helped them survive these rash of injuries. Lopez will probably be back this week and we are getting lots of rest time with most games at home this month. March will determine our seeding but regardless, about 90% chance we will be no worse than 4th seed but may not have HCA. But it's all about leading up to being ready for the playoffs. You don't lose a game in January and then say "that's it! We'll lose in April!" Doesn't work that way. Look at poor Rockets. They were 3-1 against us last year and 4-0 against Spurs. They thought they were on the right side of the bracket and had a good chance of making it to the Finals. But when it came time for prime time play, they weren't ready, dropping two home games to open the playoffs.
Exactly. It's different. Not sure why you're saying my post is dumb. I said the two sports are different. That is true.
For reals though, condolences to the actual real Seattle fans here. I know the feeling. Hopefully the niners can make next season interesting again, I feel like getting through sf really ensured Seattle dominated the broncos last year. That was a damn trench war.
That was a great play. The C'awks got beat on a great play by the defender. Blame the play call all they want - they're in denial that someone beat them with better play.
Great game. Came into the bar in the 2nd quarter. Saw a Gronk Spike Seahawks in control. Pats took over. Seahawks within striking distance to win. But choked. Then went out like bad sports to further embarass themselves and their franchise.
It's all different but the fact remains..... Injuries are a cheap excuse and the best teams win regardless. Obviously, football is different from soccer which is different from baseball which is different from basketball. Blaming losses on injuries is reasonable; using it as your primary excuse is lame. You can still win despite injuries.
Oh, I don't think so! The defender is in perfect position and no doubt thinking, Yes! Please throw it!.
And the Blazers have won despite probably the most injuries of the top 8 teams in the West. Aldridge, Batum, Freeland, and Lopez have missed a lot of games. And we're still 32-16. Very impressive when you remember we were 33-49 the season before Lopez. Lopez turned our whole team around and when he went down, it was bad for us. Affected our starting lineup as well as our bench. Things will be much better when he returns.
I fear for the Seahawks organization after this. Remember what the gut punch loss to the Lakers did to the Blazers. They started gripping and getting desperate for players that would get them "over the hump", which just poisoned the chemistry. Pretty soon the franchise was in ruins and the fans turned on them. I see that easily happening to the Seahawks.
