On pins & space needles here. Nobody is giving the Seahawks much of a chance. This might not be a bad thing. The team seems to thrive with a chip on their shoulder in the Pete Carroll era. Should be a good game tonight. Aside from Packers, rest of day has been kind of dull. You have to admit that the coach in Miami has done a pretty good job with limited resources. AFC East could be much better in a few years.beantownbubba wrote:I suppose it wasn't as bad as the hook & ladder game, but oh my goodness, that was bad. Ugly. Very bad. OTOH, the Pats will probably exit the playoffs early which might be a blessing. Edelman is clearly hurting pretty bad and I wouldn't be surprised if Brady is actually hurt (as opposed to being listed on the injury report every week out of habit or tradition or whatever). I'm sorta hoping that Gilmore is hurting too. How else to explain his worst performance of the season by several orders of magnitude? And now no extra week to heal. Not good.

Oh yeah, Miami has come a long way in a short time and is presumably heading in the right direction. The AFC East may not be better overall next year but if that's the case, it will be because the rise of the Dolphins & Bills (still not ready to believe the Jets) may be matched by the Patriots fall but if you mean that the Patriots dominant run is over I think that's pretty clearly true.chuckrh wrote: You have to admit that the coach in Miami has done a pretty good job with limited resources.

Good luck. We busted out all our tried and true pregame and game time rituals, but alas, they were completely ineffective. I hope yours work better for you. And feel better soon.chuckrh wrote:I'm getting psyched for the PHI - SEA game. Sick as a dog. Actually, if I were a dog they would put me to sleep.

Actually, being down means don't have to honour a social commitment. The game would've been on but with distractions. This game commands my full attention! The pregame rituals have begun.

Congrats Chuck. That game was over the minute Clowney knocked out Wentz. Hard to believe that play went down without even a penalty flag. Eagles defense played pretty well. If Wentz played the whole game I think the outcome would've been different.chuckrh wrote:I'm getting psyched for the PHI - SEA game. Sick as a dog.

the bad calls affect everyone. the best hope is they even out in the end. don't think clowney meant to hurt him. also, the seahawks had an unreal good 3rd down conversion rate. wentz had nothing to do with that. think the difference in the game was russell wilson again. beast mode had a couple of great plays. he's probably performing better than expectations. & dk metcalf was awesome. a star is born. can't believe he lasted until end of the second round in the draft. 8 receivers were taken ahead of him. i like our chances against GB.

I'd say that sums that one up pretty definitively.scotto wrote:Holy. Fucking. Shit.
A total mystery. I guess it has to be filed under "that's why they play the games." The Titans are starting to take on that team of destiny look. I'm happy for Mike Vrabel, but I'd really rather see a better team win the big one.Flying Rabbit wrote:That one really stung.
That really surprised me. I guess it was just a matter of time before the young guy finally had a bad game. I thought the Ravens were going to take the whole thing.Flying Rabbit wrote:So, I think I'm ready to accept my Ravens' loss yesterday. That one really stung.
Still, I guess that shakes the bandwagoners from the team. Still a great season and run.
Destiny, schmestiny, I'd say coming back from 24 points down to win 51-31, getting both the No. 2 seed and the host site for the conference championship in the most unlikely manner, having a POSSIBLE Super Bowl birth in Miami thanks to (POSSIBLY) Miami, and facing (POSSIBLY) a rematch of Super Bowl I are also destiny-worthy.beantownbubba wrote:I'd say that sums that one up pretty definitively.scotto wrote:Holy.

That said, Vrabel & Co. are fucking scary.
I'm blaming it on how many days they had off. It *had* to have affected them. As cardiac-inducing as it is, I prefer the #6 seed, must win, shock the world placement. As cool as it was to think about Baltimore hosting an AFC Championship--our teams have traditionally done better with their back against the wall.Iowan wrote:That really surprised me.
