The SEATTLE SEAHAWKS are an ABOMINATION (1 Viewer)

Remind me again....How meaningful was that game to the Colts?

that sounds like a qualifier... coulda, woulda, shoulda...

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen the SEAHAWKS run absolutely horrible, give-up plays -- lame draws on makeable 3rd down plays - 3rd and 8, 9 and 10.

What's the point of giving it to MACK STRONG on 3rd and 10 as they often do?

Hmmm, let's look at the stats:http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1161/splits/2006

Scroll down a bit and you'll see that he ran on 3rd down 18 times total in the 2006 regular season. And what's this? 8 of them turned into 1st downs?

Many of those were third and short. Several more were third and long situations deep in their own territory. Holmgren has called the play twice in third and long situations as a surprise. The first time it worked wonderfully and Strong ripped off a long gainer. The second time was this past weekend. It didn't work as well.Twice. We're complaining about a play call that happened twice. First time was a wild success. Second time not so much. Is this really worth #####ing about?

I know... just throwing a few numbers his way, since he wants to make it out like they have Strong run on 3rd and long a LOT. Running on 3rd down just 18 times in 16 games (10 of which he started) isn't all that much, really. Especially when he's a FB, and will run on some 3rd and shorts...

That means the abomination that is the Seahawks could actually be in the NFC Championship Game.

Now people are starting to see the light. Good teams find ways to win. Seattle does that.

Good teams don't get swept by the 49ers.

49'ers played great ball at the end of the year. They beat Denver. Why is it Seattle's fault that the 49er's couldn't win the division?

They were still the 49'rs and they still suck. Lets throw in the Cards, were they playing good ball also??? The hawks didn't find a way to beat the Boys, the Boys found a way to beat themselves. Unless you believe that it was the 12th man that cause Romo to drop the ball cause the hawk defense sure didn't do it.

 

[Sea Bass]

I don't care who we play or how we win, but three straight victories by Seattle would lead to a party of epic proportions at the Sea Bass homestead.

You're assuming Hasslebeck wouldn't have driven the ball 50 yards in the last minute of the game to get into field goal range. Don't just assume that the boys would have won if they made the kick because that is not the case. Hasslebeck has shown on numerous occations that he can and will move the ball quickly when the clock is running out.

I love it! I LOVE IT! He may have shown this ability at some point in the distant mists of time, but when has he done it recently?

Knocked Dallas out of the playoffs.

yeah, let's throw in those Cards - the same team that was pummeling the Bears earlier in the season before Dennis Green assumed the fetal position - and BTW who got the benefit of some calls in that game?blah, blah , blah. go ahead take the FG - Seattle now has the ball with 1:19 left on the clock and Hasselback has thrown for what 160 yds in the second half? I'll take my chances with SEA kicking the game winner against a Dallas DEF that couldn't stop anyone.

I made no assumption. The fact is (if you can boil a game down to one play) a non-forced Dallas miscues is what led Dallas to defeat. It was a game of two medicore teams that played, and came down to who got the better bounce of the ball. Don't you assume that Hasslebeck was going to march it down the field (like Romo did) for JB Field goal. We only know what happened. Dallas lost to Seattle, but was not beaten by Seattle. And the 49'rs and Cards still suck.

You're right...they did beat up Indy's backups. I shouldn't have used that "qualifier". That still doesn't influence the comparisons to Denver.....

I would love to have the FG. I'd take my chances with Matt and Josh, at least if they pulled it off they would have earned a win and not had it given to them. That you could feel good about and know you have beaten someone. As it stands, they are just lucky, or is it an abomination (I don't know). By the way the cards and niners still suck.

 

[Steelers4Life]

Man, having FBGs blocked at work sucks! I miss all the good threads!

Seattle was a very good team last year, but this year it'd be hard to expect any team to play at a high level with the injuries they've suffered. They benefitted a great deal from being in the division they are, but in the NFC, there isn't really a team that stands out as the favorite. It'd be quite an accomplishment if they make it to the Super Bowl.

When each team's starters were playing, the Hawks were leading about 17-3. Did they beat the Colts, yes or no?

That's not true. Manning drove the Colts down for two FG attempts (one blocked) before leaving the game at 7-3. Manning was 9 for 12, 116 yards passing.

Are you sure about this? I don't think the score was 17-3. First off, the Colts benched quite a few of their starters including Harrison and one of their top defensive players. Manning only played a quarter (and I believe led the team on two very long drives that resulted in 2 fgs). Seattle was playing for homefield advantage at home. The Colts were playing for nothing. The Colts were without their coach (who just lost his son). I'm not declaring the Colts as a better team (although in my opinion they were). I just don't think that game means a whole lot when comparing the teams.

Hey, as the steelers showed last year. Sometimes its better to be lucky than good. I will take luck all the way to the superbowl baby!

Yeah the Steelers got some breaks in the playoffs but they also played very good at the right time. In order to win a superbowl, you need to be more than just lucky. You have to be playing good football. We'll see if the Seahawks have 2 more good games left. I think the Bears are still the best team in the NFC and probably will represent but you just never know. That's why they play the game.

There's no comparison between the Steelers last year and the Seahawks this year. The Steelers last year were playing bold, adventurous, powerful football. Big Ben was really slinging it and they were going for the jugular. The Seahawks are playing wussy, fraidy cat, play not to lose, run it on 3rd and long football and they just fluked a freak victory.

 

[Smoo]

Listen to you pantywastes getting your hate on. Keep the drive alive!

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

They had a better record than most NFC teams, and they truly did 'back' into the playoffs (1 of 4 the last month?)

As for beating the Cowboys?

I think the Cowboys beat themselves with the safety followed by the muffed field goal.

Send me a memo when Demarcus Ware gets his second tackle of the game.

This post sounds to me like a bitter Washington Redskins fan.

 

[seahawk 17]

"Backing in" means a team loses their playoff position and you fill it. Seattle clinched the NFC West by having the best record in the division. That's not backing in.

What happens when Seattle wins this weekend? Seattle didn't win, Grossman lost it?

Seattle will always be an underdog...and that plays to their advantage.

 

[Blue-Kun]

49ers over-achieved and weren't that good of a team. Niners only beat Denver because it was clear they didn't want to go to the post-season, in fact it was an ugly game. And your right, it wasn't Seattle's fault the 49ers didn't win the division. Pretty sure it was the fact that they had to play 8 teams with winning records versus the 4 Seattle did. Oh and they still won 3 of the 8 versus the 1 out of 4 Seattle did. That being said, it didn't matter who won the division this year, no team in the NFC west was doing anything great this year.

That's not at all what "backing in" means. "Backing in" means losing most of your games down the stretch but still earning a playoff spot.
