Yep, that and Russell Wilson getting the ball out quicker, and ditching that funk he's been in for the last six Weeks or so.kearly":1amc4q20 said:Scottemojo":1amc4q20 said:This game had zero flow.

Offense is all about rhythm. Defense is all about disruption. Given the strengths and weaknesses of both teams and the matchups, a game like this was a recipe for disruption. To Seattle's credit, their defense just got better as the game went on. The last four possessions for SF went: punt, fumble, pick, pick.
I think momentum is like gravity. We can't explain it, but it's very real. Though in fairness to you, it is far less evident in the professional ranks. At the High School and College levels momentum is pretty hard to deny. In the pros coaches usually know how to make adjustments before things spiral too far out of control and players are mature enough that the psychological impact of momentum is not usually long lasting.

I'm not really commenting on your post, except to say that bicep thing is silly to me. He can't even reach it through his facemask.Lady Talon":3rbe5q6m said:I have to think KJ was too slow returning from that broken foot and shouldn't have been showcased being unable to contain Kap to much lower chunks of rushing yardage.
Kap kissing the bicep in the Clink would have sent me to alcoholic depths and tarnished our win in my eyes. Thank you Kam Chancellor (my player of the game, simply for saving me from that sight).

I just wanted to give you props on your sig. Very original...and very cool.

Why thanks, would help if I changed the year on that last edit though.

That play was the Seahawks 2013 season in a nutshell. The Seahawks are winners, but man they find a lot of weird ways to win football games sometimes.
What an awesome post!kigenzun":q3lvf4x3 said:Once upon a time, Joe Montana rolled right, lofted a wobbly lob, and basically pulled a miracle victory out of his back pocket against the Mighty Cowboys. When Dwight Clark came down with that ball in the back of the end zone, it was an epic defining moment in sports, and the 49ers went on to win their first SuperBowl. This came to define their team and led to them becoming a storied franchise known for excellence. To the tune of those 5 golden rings we keep hearing about.
There are many moments like this throughout sports history: Bird Stole The Ball, Michael Jordan's heroic buzzer beater jumpers, Kirk Gibson's hobbled Walk Off Homer, The Do you believe in Miracles? USA Hockey Team, The Catch, and many many more...
However, something happened tonight that we all witnessed as special; a franchise defining moment in Seattle.
'The Tip' by Richard Sherman, into the waiting hands of Malcolm Smith, was the nail in the coffin 3rd turnover to seal the victory in tonights game over the 49ers. And is every bit of an epic sports moment for Seattle in 2014, as The Catch was for San Francisco way back in 1981. IMO 'The Tip' will be the moment we all remember, that helped us break through to our first SuperBowl victory i.e. The Moment That Defines A Franchise. Tonight was special. May we all remember it forever. Go Hawks!
