    Lets Call A Spade A Spade

    Yup, having watched the NFL video of this play a half dozen times, it's incredibly clear that the sequence of events was: 1. Sherman is offsides 2. Sherman blocks the FG 3. Sherman runs into the kicker 4. The whistle blows 5. The kicker hams it up in an attempt to get a penalty and ends up...

    Officiating

    This. I don't understand how the NBA (hardly a bastion of good officiating) can get this correct, with the red light on the backboard (did the player release the ball before the light was on?), while the NFL cannot. Put buzzers in the refs' pockets, tied to the play clock. If the buzzer...

    Jeff fisher

    I agree that Fisher is a dirtbag. I actually dislike him even more than Harbaugh, who at least plays an honest game.

    Jermain Kearse in a different offense

    Isn't that how most pitchers are evaluated? Not by W-L, but by ERA?

    11-5 for playoffs in NFC

    Just a gut feeling, but I think in the NFC this year, we'll need 11-5 to make the playoffs. I think 10-6 doesn't do it (except in the NFC South). We can only lose one more going forward. That makes the BS trick play loss to the Rams really painful. I hope we never, ever, allow Fisher to trick...

    Britt and the Screen.

    Well, give it another 10-12 games. Plenty of guys ultimately get moved from T to G, and he might be one of them. If they don't extend Carp (e.g., due to injuries), maybe Britt could move to LG. I do think he has potential, but maybe not at RT. Of course, then we'd have to find another RT. I do...

    Bobby Wagner is a boss

    Does anyone still want to debate the virtue of paying KJ vs. paying Bobby? KJ is a good player. Wagz is better.

    Good Things, Bad Things

    Good ADB played really well again. He caught pretty much everything sent his way, and had a nice PR as well. He really is a solid consistent player who makes plays. What more could you ask? Good BeastMode was great -- bring'em'back penalties (as we have come to expect) notwithstanding. I think...

    Was that black enough for you? Game recap

    I was going to do separate threads for "The Good", "The Bad" and "The Ugly", but maybe that's overkill. I'm happy with a single thread. Good: Winning the game. Unlike previous games this season, on our final drive, I felt like we were going to punch it in, and not just for a FG. I guess Russell...

    Rams Game: The Ugly

    Ugly: Getting no pass rush on a third-string QB, though I will admit that Davis was unexpectedly mobile. As has been noted in many other threads, this is starting to be an issue, and is affecting our decimated DB play. Ugly: The refereeing. Not so much the refereeing through the game (we're...

    Rams Game: The Good

    Good: I thought the second-half offense looked like the Seahawks of years past. Marshawn ran the ball well enough and Russell was on fire. Good: ADB had his best game of the year. He looked like the ADB of a couple of years ago. When was the last time we had a 100+-yard receiver? Good...

    The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

    So in light of Kearly wanting to move on from his (great) RT threads, a number of posters expressed a desire for a more civil forum where we could discuss actual football rather than descending into personal attacks. So I thought we could have post-game threads for The Good, The Bad and The...

    All good things must come to an end

    I doubt anyone is reading this far but ... Kearly, the solution is obvious. Just email me your Random Thoughts, and I'll post them under my account. Perhaps as Clever Thoughts. I will be seen as a football genius. It's a win/win.

    Denver @ Seattle Raible Highlights

    Yeah, our "option" offense (not just "read option") seems to work really well. Russell is just so great at selling the fake. I found myself following the fake many times, though the cameraman seemingly wasn't fooled.

    Shaun Alexander takes pride in what he helped build in Seatt

    To me, the 2005 team (of which SA was an integral part) made me hungry, hungry, HUNGRY for a SB win. It helped me "keep the faith" through the lean years of Mora and Ruskell. Plus, the '05 Hawks were just fun to watch. They were definitely a different team from what we have now in terms of...

    Brock & Salk is back!

    Lord preserve us. Is he still on? I knew there was a reason I didn't listen to 950 any more. Worst. Host. Ever. Annoying, whiney, puerile, misogynistic.

    NFL's 10 best scrambling QBs

    Luck is more mobile that he gets credit for, but a "scrambling QB"? Not so much.

    NFL's 10 best scrambling QBs

    http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/the_10_best_scrambling_quarterbacks_in_the_nfl_right_now/16741645?linksrc=foxmiddle_nfl It seems as though the article should have been titled "The NFL's 10 best running QBs". On that score, their list wasn't too far off. But if you consider...

    [Stupid Question] Signing UDFA / practice squad players

    Thanks! So then it is basically "if you make the team, we'll pay you." (Otherwise, thanks for trying out.)

    [Stupid Question] Signing UDFA / practice squad players

    I told you it was a stupid question. But what exactly does it mean to sign these kinds of guys at this point? Like Rashaun Allen, per a previous thread. Specifically, I assume there's some sort of very short-term contract with all sorts of opt-outs on the part of the team (that would be the...
