Best run of the day. Our #24

ESPN the guys on NFL live gave the best run to "The Beast" for his TD run. One of them said "he is a man amongst boys".

That run alone is why I am not worried about Lynch.

Yeah John Lynch put it best on that TD "Marshawn Lynch just wants it more than you. Period."

Although Marshawn scares the hell out of me when he does that by the goal line, seems so close sometimes to getting the ball knocked out of his hands when he's fighting to get in.

Yeah, I'd just like to take this opportunity to congratulate Marshawn Lynch on his awesome impression of a New Orleans Saints running back. 6 receptions for 75 yards? What the derp was that!? That's not Marshawn's game!

Love to see him being dynamic like that. I've been noticing him laying some pretty stiff pass blocks too. The guy's just a special dude. So happy he's a Hawk...

Marshawn has the best pass block in the league, he just takes out any dude running full speed at him. I can't help buy have a man crush on him. Such a beast of a person as well as a player. So much respect

What no .GIF's?

Am I wrong, or did Lynch kind of punch the linebacker with the ball when the guy tried to grab at it? Looked like he knocked him on his ass with a ball punch.

^ This. ML is my favorite player in this league, but the 2 words I would use to describe that run are (in order) Reckless. Tough. Lynch has got to do a better job of protecting the ball in such situations. He almost cost us a PO game in DC last year in a very similar situation. Love the man, but that's not how you carry a football in the NFL.

I don't think this is something that you can teach Lynch not to do...........and it's probably not something you WANT to teach him not to do. For every fumble he loses because he won't go down there's another 10 TD's or 1st downs he does get.

It's who he is, he ain't changing. But it still makes me nervous!

In Lynch's defense, it always seems like it's an errant helmet near the goal line from guys going low that knocks the ball loose; those are all but impossible to hold onto. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I can't recall him ever fumbling between the 20's by having it straight ripped out by a defender while running upright.

You're correct. I suppose I should just enjoy that extra rush that comes with such recklessness. Like when your favorite fighter gets knocked down...but comes off the canvas to win. But it's aging me. I can feel it. ; )

Check with Sac, rumor has it, he got a new Gif machine for x-mas.

Does anyone have a link with the run and John Lynch saying that?

According to CLETE BLAKEMAN's Crew, Marshawn Lynch was down by his "stalled forward progress" after his first effort.

Sorry, I just don't think I can get over that Crabtree fumble call and how Refs changed it to make it unchallengeable...In my book, it was 100x worse than what half the nation feels about the "Fail Mary" call. (Scott Kacsmar knows the truth in which he showed frame by frame photographic evidence that Tate not only caught the ball first but established possession with both feet on the ground while Jennings was still in the air. Why it a called a TD by the line judge?, why it was upheld by the replay official, and why it was upheld as a correct call by the NFL. There was a reason why ESPN only showed the one angle of the play, and not the back end shot that many of us in Washington got to see thanks to Q13)

Here's to seeing San Francisco this post-season for another Emerald City smack down.
