Yes, those are the starters, and Brock is the #3, and has been VERY good.

No, he won't make a huge difference, I just don't agree that the guy he was cut for is better. Nnamdi came in on a min contract and his contract was all incentives. No reason to cut him AT ALL.

This is off topic but I have to ask. I assume you follow the Seahawks being division rivals. Would you say its fair to say the Seahawks are overrated? It seems like if you take away Wilson's ability to run, he cant control an offense and win from the pocket on a consistent basis. It seems like all I ever see out of the Seahawks, is either Lynch running, Wilson scrambling for a 1st down and then all of a sudden on the next play he passes a deep bomb downfield.

I just think he is highiy overrated and doesnt strike me as a QB that can be a surgeon and thread the needle from the pocket. Is this correct or no? (Sorry, i hate the Seahawks with a passion)

I absolutely think they're overrated.

 

Are they a bad team? No, not at all. Are they a good team? Absolutely. Are they the best or 2nd best team in the league? No.

 

Look at these games:

 

Panthers: W 12-7. DWill handed them the game with that late fumble.

Texans: W 23-20 OT. Not only did Schaub throw a pick 6 late that gave them the tie, but in OT the Texans made a boneheaded 15 yard penalthy that gave the Seahawks the ball near midfield. They should have lost that game by 10 points.

Texans: W 20-13. Late in the game, Lynch fumbles the ball at his own 10 yard line, a Titans linebacker has the ball at his feet and a clear path for either a big return or even a TD with blocking. He reaches down to get the ball and kicks it right back to Wilson. The Seahawks score a TD 2 plays later and they win. This play was a 14 point swing.

Bucs: Win 27-24 in OT. Schiano had the lead and did nothing but try not to lose in the second half. The Bucs drove into the redzone in the 3rd quarter and settled for a FG, and Schiano went ultra conservative the rest of the way. You aren't the best or second best team in the NFL when an 0-7 team takes you to OT at home.

 

Did they beat us - 49ers - fair and square? Yes they did. Was the score as bad as it looked? No. Not even close. I don't even have time to go into all of the fluke things that happened in that game, including the power outage. I guarantee you a different outcome at Candlestick. The Seahawks have the biggest home-field advantage in sports, and it's truly not fair. Their owner is one of the richest men in the world and he hired architects to design the stadium to be deafening. How exactly is that legal, NFL? They have canopies that direct the sound back to the field, and they also have giant tarps that they "say" are there for the fans protection from the elements, but in reality they also direct noise to the field. Add in the fact that they are 800 miles away from the next closest NFL team, and in a different time zone than 3/4 of the league and you can see why they are so hard to beat at home. Look at how much worse they play on the road - that's not on accident. That stadium is a damn liability to every away team and should be illegal in my opinion. That's why these garbage, cheap wins they're getting are detrimental. Every other NFL team sand the Chiefs have a "normal" stadium/travel to deal with. Their crowd caused an earth quake FFS!

 

 

Can you imagine being the Dolphins and traveling to Seattle for a big game? This article here explains everything pretty good: http://mudncleats.com/ccc/SF/a6.html

 

 

Yes, they are a good team. Yes, they are legit contenders. But yes, they are definitely overrated.

 

My hope is that Rodgers gets healthy and the Packers have to go to Seattle to play. The Packers would win, no doubt. They'd get every call the refs make and nothing close to controversial would happen.

 

Other than that, I don't know how anyone else can win up there with a bunch of drunken gorillaz smacking the side of the bleachers to a deafening point.
