Beast Mode downgraded to out (1 Viewer)

Guess it was too cold for beast mode.

They didn't need him when they whipped Minnesota last time though.

Of course, MN was without their three best defensive players as well. But that's fine. I expect a different game this time around.
 
Something seems weird about the timing of this all. Rotoworld is saying that Werder told him that Lynch's decision to not get on the team bus seemed rather sudden. I'm generally not the conspiracy theorist type--but my gut instinct feels like there is something more than an injury going on. I can't imagine that a guy that was able to practice all week would pull himself out of a playoff game. We are talking about an elite professional athlete--and we are talking about the playoffs---just seems strange that one of the most competitive people in the world would just pull himself out last minute when he's been cleared to play. Kinda feels like there is something going on behind the scenes or maybe Lynch's injury is far worse than being advertised.

This is Lynch (in my opinion) just getting "even" with the team who constantly hears whispers of being cut. He has won his super bowl and ready to move on and make sure he is healthy when he does. Rawls will be the man next year and he knows it. Besides, game will be too cold for him. Again, just my thoughts as you speak of conspiracy. I agree. Why practice all week and pull out at last minute. No guarantee they move this week. I think they do but this matchup can be very close and the running game the difference. We shall see, not today or tomorrow, but the coming weeks.

No reason to risk him in a game Seattle will not lose either way.

While I totally agree with this--the only thing that I think seems weird about things is that the blurb on Rotoworld infers that Marshawn himself made the decision to not get on the team bus. This is not Seattle deciding not to risk him--this is Marshawn pulling himself out--which seems really strange. With that being said--it's very possible that the reports are wrong and maybe it is the actual organization that is making the call here. Who knows.

 
Like Jed said "Lynch being Lynch"

Unless reports were wrong all week about practice and he did not pull himself from the bus I stand by my earlier post. This is Lynch getting back at the organization who needs him this week.

 
Favorite player to watch last few years. End comes quickly for most players at that position. Don't see how he's back in Seattle next year. One of better players in Seahawk history.

 
This isn't how you "get even" with the organization. By all accounts Lynch is a great teammate, and he'd be ####### all those guys if he removed himself due to personal beef with the front office.

I don't think Lynch has ever been anything other than a great teammate and solid team player while in Seattle. As far as I know (and I follow this team closely) his teammates love and respect him a ton.

My theory? When petty people see actions they don't understand they immediately assume that it's done for petty reasons. In this case I think it's much more likely that he tried to suck it up and practice all week, but didn't feel right after Friday.

Like I said just my opinion. Truth will come out, most always does, for now just speculation for all.

Been reported on twitter just as you theorized. Practiced all week but didn't feel right after Friday practice. Told the coaches next time he saw them, which was when they were boarding the plane.

We know he doesn't like to talk so he must not own a phone.

 
I'm not really paying attention to any Buffalo fan when it comes to Lynch. You guys got the short end of the stick on that one.
