What is the record of your dullfins Benedict?

Without the bad call - Hawks chances of making the playoffs are at 35%. With the call, it's 60%. Stam's still in it...for now...

[Bleeeeep!]! Are you serious? You come with that lame insult because I'm jacked that Bam Bam saved the day? Your hatred of the Hawks is sad and your fandom of the Dolphins is sadder.

Did any of you know that rule before after the game? Nobody seemed to during the game. The ball was headed out of bounds. It's too bad this crap is overshadowing Bam Bam's game saving play.

I knew about it for the other end of the field (for a safety), but not on the offensive end of the field. Bam Bam's play may have just saved the Hawks season. Great hustle and play. I just hate it when refs blow calls that cost games. It should have gone to the booth. Ray Lewis was about beside himself in the post game saying that players get fined for the most minor thing, but refs get away scott free. I think he has a solid point. Refs need to start feeling it financially. These players work too hard and have too much on the line for the refs to F' it up. Anyway, I'm glad it worked out in the Hawks favor. Onto the next game....

The o-line was worse than ever. Four games in, they should be improving, not getting worse.

That said, while the Hawks didn't do a lot on offense and any good NFL team would have beaten them, they out-played the Lions last night (both sides of the ball) and deserved to win, even if it took one of their patent miracles to secure it. Detroit did nothing all night before that last drive, and when they had all but scored the go-ahead touchdown, their star player fumbled the ball (with a little help from another incredible, heads up play from the LOB) out of the back of the end zone. Pretty hard to argue that they deserved to get the call and get three more chances to win a game they shouldn't have been in (and wouldn't have been in without the horrific performance by Seattle's o-line).

Wanna win? Play well for more than the last 8:00. If you're the Seattle o-line, however, playing well for even the last 8 minutes looks like a team goal at this point. They won't make the playoffs unless that line gets a lot better.

And Beezy, the Seahawks will pay Kam next off-season, which would be consistent with the way they have taken care of all their other star players. It won't be easy to find the money, but I think Kam's proven that he is invaluable to this defense. They are night and day different when he's on the field, and now everybody knows it. As much as I hate to say it (hearing guys being paid mukti millions to play football complaining about their salary makes me sick), Kam's holdout is looking like a pretty smart move right about now. They've seen how much less effective the defense is without him, and I don't think that's a place they want to go again.

Agree that Wilson is the obvious team MVP. Just sayin' that the one play saved their sorry butts.

20 million dollar signing bonus...................but no O-line.........New car "Jimmy" but don't know how to drive it. Where was Bennett all night????. D missing tackles..................This team has a huge challenge next week on the road........can they get it fixed before 10 am next sunday?????? Good luck,

Guys, I never said pay Bam Bam now. I just meant to say he is underpaid. The rest was just you assuming a bunch of horse [Bleeeeep!] which is typical on the net. People shouldn't have to explain every minuscule detail of a post to seal all little holes in the wording so that you can't stretch those holes to make the OP seem uninformed and yourself intelligent.

I agree that contracts shouldn't be negotiated 3 years from completion if that is not the standard. I also agree the standard should be to not renegotiate any contract until completion, but that never happens so it isn't the standard in the business.

All I meant was Bam Bam is right, he is grossly underpaid.

Chuck, you would have no self esteem if you didn't scour the Internet looking to make enemies and belittle others. I feel sorry for you.

I'm sort of confused. Didn't the Broncos bat the ball out of the back of the end zone on the first snap of SB48? And doesn't every punter do the same thing when the ball is snapped over their heads? Is this a defender only rule?

Bam Bam!

When the team that last had possession of the ball...the Broncos...did it, they did get a penalty...it's called a safety.

When the team that did not last possess the ball does it the ball goes back to the team that did, plus a ten yard penalty.

So yes...it is kind of a defender only rule...well, not really, but the penalty is different if you are the last possessor, or not.

Fish on...

Todd

Todd's correct. It's two different endzones though. There's the offensive endzone (behind the QB) where it makes a safety (Denver example). In that case, the defensive team has the choice to either take the penalty or take the safety. Everyone takes the safety. On the defensive end-zone (Hawks endzone last night), if the defense causes the foul, it's 1/2 the distance and a new set of downs. No offensive player would bat it out in this case. They would fall on it for a TD (because its a fumble). Hope that clarifies the rule.

No doubt Russell was the MVP. He finished with a 125 passer rating with out any protection. There has never been a QB in the history of the NFL that can do what he does. He's under paid, as is JJ Wyatt.

Oddly enough, Wilson seems to thrive on broken protection. He also seems to be a more accurate passer while running for his life (maybe because he can see better outside the pocket?). Definitely the right QB to have when your o-line perenially sux ballz (sp?). The Hawks don't have trouble making explosive plays. The trouble is that they usually follow up the explosive plays with stupid mistakes or negative plays (often due to the aforementioned o-line). Lots of yardage between the 20s. They'll improve... I hope.

They've been slow starters but can rip off 6-8 games in a row. I feel a little better about our Right corner "Carey" I think he'll be fine. I;m pretty sure 11-5 will win this division. Wagner is a phugging STUD!!

Elway, Vick, Cunningham, Tarkenton, McNair, Young, McNabb....just off the top of my head.

Wilson is the best mobile QB in the game right now, but these other bad dudes would like a word with you....

Apparently Tannehill is mad at the practice squad players doing the scout team thing. They have been playing to hard and intercepting his passes.

Maybe you live life to the fullest but you still stir [Bleeeeep!] up online like a bored little boy. I wonder why?

And I don't think "whoa is me" at all. you put that twist into my post because you are a sad man and you think everybody else is worse off than you.

You are the guy who claims he knows how to live life better than everyone else except Stam and you pretty much said that yourself. What a load of horse [Bleeeeep!].
