Don't tell anyone, but Prater is going to be the Broncos kicker after next week, if you've got a spot to grab him with now.

Wilson is remotely arguable in his first two years, and this assumes of course that you don't count 2000 as Brady's first season. By which measure do you see Brady's first two seasons superior to Wilson's?

I respect Brady, and certainly he had to deal with some unforeseen changes to his offensive personnel, but do you then give Wilson a little nod for losing his top 2 receivers and working behind a backup/hobbled oline and making those deficiencies appear negligible?

Why is it just accepted that Brady is still elite? His numbers in 2013 didn't measure up to Wilson's, and it's not unreasonable to assume that the quarterbacks are currently on different trajectories of their career arcs. If you were an NFL GM, why would you prefer Brady as your QB in 2014...

So the Seahawks are too good to be able to call their QB exceptional? I don't think he can be reasonably compared to the proven elite QBs in the league, but I think it's fair to say that last season's playoff exit falls on defense and special teams despite Wilson giving them every opportunity to...

More clues from twitter suggesting that retirement isn't imminent. Marshawn's Momma tweeted this last night: @MommaLynch24: Ppl if I said it once I'll say it 2 times the media is the devil , d=destoryE=evil V=noValues I=idiots L=liars Then replied to a response thusly: @MommaLynch24...

Not sure about the proper way to post tweets, but Lynch retweeted this tonight: @edsmith84: @MoneyLynch preparing for the upcoming season!!!! #BeastMode @Seahawks http://t.co/zHrpZAji1w (With an image of him doing incline dumbbell presses)...

Which Seahawks tribute to the 49ers rivalry would you prefer: eternally becoming the "Super Bowl 49ers" in 2015, or literally taking a Lombardi Trophy from their home to ours after hoisting it on their turf in front of a Super Bowl-sized audience in 2016?

Seems to me Allen wanted more money than his peers who got signed, now he believes that those prices should reflect the market for his services, perhaps the floor. But since those buyers are gone, and the Seahawks aren't desperate, his market value has dropped significantly. With no known...

Seems to me that racially charged name calling is already unsportsmanlike. Is the point here that any utterance of a racial slur regardless of the spirit is unsportsmanlike? If a white guy scores a touchdown and a teammate slaps his helmet and calls him Whitey, is that a penalty? Regardless of...

What is interesting to me, is that I think if the game had been closer, Manning would have been labeled a choker. Because it was so lopsided, it appears there was never a chance for him to succeed. I think that if he had managed to put up four times as many points, his reputation would have been...

Imagine if Kaep completed that pass, and a week later, right before Kaep plays in the Super Bowl, Sherman does an interview on ESPN and says, "If he throws that pass one foot shorter, I tip it to Smith for the pick, and he's the goat"

Solid.

Seattle has the #27 ranked homefield advantage in the NFL: www.teamrankings.com/nfl/ranking/home-advantage-by-team ETA: Also... #1 ranked road team http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/ranking/away-power-ranking-by-team

Nah... you can make the argument that they are the best this season, but Carolina is close in yards, and very close in points, and KC has more takeaways. They are 9th in sacks, and 10th in first downs per play. The Seahawks are very good, but to be in that best ever conversation, they'd need to...
