so does this game count as beating Peyton's record?

1/6/2013 7:25:29 PM

No it's a regular season record

1/6/2013 7:27:20 PM

Last rookie standing

Atlanta is the perfect match-up for Seattle.

1) Atlanta is one of the worst rushing offenses in the league so they won't be able to run the ball against Seattle at all (which despite what you saw today is an above average unit).

2) Atlanta relies on the passing game (though it's not GREAT) and Seattle has one of the best pass rushes in the league and a top notch secondary. Seattle can really get after you and if Atlanta is forced to abandon the run early that just makes it easier to get pressure on Ryan.

3) Atlanta's defense is very susceptible against the run (not TERRIBLE, but certainly below average) and Seattle has the best rushing attack in the league. Seattle also has one of the more efficient passing games in the league so they can throw the ball too if Atlanta tries to cheat too much against the run.

Thank Russell for delivering us out of the desert of douchebag Redskins fans.

It will be a travesty of justice if they give it to Luck. I can understand the argument for RGIII but the last month owned by RW.

1/6/2013 9:33:58 PM

justice? are they gonna throw the guys who don't win in jail?

1/6/2013 9:36:15 PM

they should throw anyone who votes for luck in jail

1/6/2013 9:38:23 PM

They are going to give it to their slightly overrated great white hype

1/6/2013 9:44:40 PM

LOL, Luck got exposed today against a very average Ravens defense. He couldn't do shit.

59 passer rating and 5 yards per pass.


I think he's going to end up being a great QB but he was obviously the least NFL ready of the three.

1/6/2013 9:47:12 PM

which website has a quantifiable metric for Ray Lewis playing his last home game ever in a 17 year career?

Does anyone have the seizure-inducing gif of Wilson that was spammed back in the good ol' days of the Church of Russell O'Brien?

Anyone got that Last Supper pic? Link went bad in that old thread.

What are you talking about? He had a pretty disappointing season. RG3 and RW were amazing comparatively.

1/7/2013 9:02:55 AM

FUCK. Chris Clemons, seattle top DE is out for season.

Luckily they have Bruce Irvin their first round pick. He's a pretty bad ass pass rusher himself, but can't play the run. Shouldn't matter too much vs Atlanta or green bay but that's huge against san fran if they play them

Pretty good read. Very biased and lovey-dovey toward RW, but that's why I liked it.

i wonder if it was difficult for him to put that scowl on his face

1/7/2013 1:59:49 PM

^ I'm sure all he had to do was think of TOB

1/7/2013 2:12:53 PM

I dont' get the TOB hate. He obviously thought RW could make it in the NFL and needed to concentrate on football - not miss 2 years of spring practice failing in baseball. I guess you could say RW proved TOB right.

1/7/2013 2:50:24 PM

Oh believe me of all the things to blame TOB for I don't really hold the RW situation against him. I would have taken Russell back in a heartbeat but I understand the decision. Its a rational argument that didn't work out terribly from a football standpoint (I'd argue that RW was probably worth 1 more win the year we would have had him). Strictly from a PR/prestige it really hurts us in that he's a pro that everyone associates with Wisconsin but its not like anyone realistically believed he'd be a rookie starter in the NFL. I don't think you can hold that against TOB.

1/7/2013 2:57:44 PM

No, no, please not this discussion again!

1/7/2013 2:59:40 PM

I completely blame TOB for Russell's jersey not being retired and getting the honors he deserved

TOB stole that from us

1/7/2013 3:00:05 PM

if he stayed here as a senior he probably wouldnt have even gotten drafted

1/7/2013 3:01:18 PM

^^so that's what's at the core of your burning hatred for TOB? You think TOB personally stole that from you? HAha

Wait, nm.... let's not have this stupid conversation.

[Edited on January 7, 2013 at 3:06 PM. Reason : ]

1/7/2013 3:05:59 PM

It was partly said in jest...

But he did waste a lot of time playing baseball. And there never would have been any decision for TOB to make...just sayin...

1/7/2013 3:17:40 PM

us

Ive hated TOB from the beginning buddy. I thought he was a horrible hire

1/7/2013 3:18:03 PM

And you were wrong. He wasn't a horrible hire.

1/7/2013 3:20:01 PM

I ain't part of your "us", buddy. And I know you didn't think he was a good coach, I'm just a little curious about your burning hatred for the man. Of course, this isn't the thread for it.

I like how Wilson gave the guy a bump...then got the fuck out of the way. Smart QB right there. Showed hustle...and brains.

1/8/2013 1:18:28 PM

yeah no sense throwing a body block in that situation, just make enough contact to keep the defenders balance in the opposite direction of lynch.

also, that could have been a block in the back.

1/8/2013 1:39:16 PM

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think it's considered a block in the back if both players are going the same direction as the play.

1/8/2013 3:28:40 PM

Yes, you would be wrong.

1/8/2013 3:39:35 PM

That could have been a bitb? He was coming at the defender from the side with the defender actually facing him.

I guess a pissy ref might have called that, but it would seem pretty unreasonable.

1/8/2013 4:57:52 PM

^^ So there is no way to block a player who is attempting to take an angle on a runner unless you are in front of him? I'm just saying you see bitb on non-return plays about once per season.

1/8/2013 5:00:45 PM

It didn't look bad from that field-level angle. Looked like Wilson was setup to block the redskins player legally the whole time, and the redskins player got out of the way at the last second.

1/8/2013 6:35:24 PM

The NFL rulebook defines a block in the back as:

Quote :

"...a block that is delivered from behind an opponent above his waist. It is not a block in the back: (a) if the opponent turns away from the blocker, or (b) if both of the blocker's hands are on the opponents side."

So, yeah, that was technically a block in the back and could've drawn a flag. It would have been a shitty, ticky-tack foul that a lot of people would have bitched about, but it could've been called nonetheless.

[Edited on January 8, 2013 at 6:58 PM. Reason : ]

1/8/2013 6:58:12 PM

except for the part where "the opponent turned away from the blocker"

1/8/2013 7:45:11 PM

Quote :

"(a) if the opponent turns away from the blocker"

makes that not a bitb

1/8/2013 7:50:47 PM

My interpretation is that Russell Wilson misjudged the angle and couldn't have done anything other than hit Josh Wilson (#26) in the back. He realized that and didn't really try to throw much of a block. And Josh Wilson wasn't turning away so much as getting low in anticipation of contact.

Having said that, even as a huge Redskins fan, I'm fine with there having been no flag on the play. Josh Wilson wasn't going to be making that play, minimal contact from RW or not. There were a couple of no calls on some obvious holds on Kerrigan that I was upset about at the time, but overall I think it was a pretty well-officiated game.

1/8/2013 8:06:45 PM

The defender just dipped his shoulder to keep outside leverage which is why Russell, who is not used to blocking, pretty much whiffed. Not a block in the back
