Update: Lynch ruled OUT Sunday

[marko358]

He's most certainly playing and starting. I don't think anyone buys Pete's bluff. Michael will get his share of carries though but rest assured the Beast will be feasting on iced Purple Panzies Sunday afternoon.

What are you considering a bluff? The questionable status or that he missed the team bus (or was it the plane?)?

Pete's remarks as whole that they'll have to "wait and see." The fact he practiced intensely this week and every practice without issue leads me to believe he's geared to go. I can't see a situation where he doesn't play. I think he wants this badly and no one is stopping him Sunday.

Pete's going full Belichick on us.

:laugh:

AP didn't practice (back)
I think Marshawn may be healthier than AP

 

[SeAhAwKeR4life]

I think he plays but if not I'm confident Michael can continue to play extremely well.

Oh malarkey! I think C-Mike is gonna be a good reliable back for us. I think the coaching in Seattle and the whirlwind NFL tour have gotten through to him and I think he'll be fine. Maybe not stellar, but we'll get production.

So... business as usual leading up to a playoff game?

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Given Pete's conservative nature on injuries, his confidence in our defense, Michael's decent performance, and the effect of cold on injuries, my money is on Lynch not playing.

 

[idahohawk]

Not on team bus. I'm guessing that solves that mystery.

Bummer. MikeRob got some 'splaining to do...

 

[ShaunPope]

Gotta be effing kidding me. How did he go from feeling and looking great in 3 days of practice to being ruled out. Son of a bitch. Huge hit to our playoff chances.

 

[nanomoz]

I'm terrified that Brown or Michael will cough up the ball on Sunday.

Pete said it was about how he felt after the workouts. Apparently he didn't do well.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

This is not good....

 

[RobDaHawk]

There goes the postseason. I'm not optimistic at all about this.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Ill be holding my breath every time CMike and Brown are carrying the ball. Ball security will be huge for us in this game.

 

[Bigpumpkin]

If I was a betting man.....and Marshawn did not play in any of the next three games, he will not be in uniform next year.

 

[Joey13091]

Damn. I just saw the news of him not being in Minnesota with the team.

Maybe Pete knew all along the he wasn't going to play and was just saying that to the media to have the vikings over prepare for lynch?

I don't know but this is a big bummer. With all of the reports of him looking good and practicing I though we would see gim out on the field. And with a very cold game where running the ball is going to be more important than ever we don't have him back. I hope C Mike is ready.

 

[Mojambo]

Dammit! We need him back! We'll never beat the Cardinals in Arizona without Lynch! /eyeroll

Not worried. It's Russell's team now.

 

[JPatera76]

Well, as much as I don't want to and how much I love lynch, I think its time the team moves on from him. Something more seems to be going on in the back scene PC isn't telling us.

PC if anything with injuries is NOT and never has been a straight shooter. He's always talked coach talk and cryptic about players injuries. His letting the media and everyone speculate for themselves approach to injuries is something I've never been to fond of. Look how long he kept going on about Harvin? Each week was a "he might be back, he's been doing better, getting better rah rah"
