More blows for the Seahawks: Seattle HC Pete Carroll said RBs Chris Carson and CJ Prosise are out next Sunday night vs SF and OT Duane Brown needs knee surgery.

Reception thief Prosise also out.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

A great question.

Mainly, he played for more money after his FA year with GB, GB thought it could upgrade with Bennett.

Then they overcorrected with Graham, big error, and could afford Lewis but not Cook, if indeed they considered him this time around before he got to NO.

Cook wanted to remain in GB. He never sought to be paid like Gronk. Did the Packers ever recover the frogskins (signing bonus $) they wasted on Bennett?

Todd was the mother of incompetence. That’s the simplest answer to why Cook wasn’t retained.

Cook wanted to walk the offer around and see if they could sweeten it. McCarthy wanted a two way TE and Bennett was available. Cook made it work for him despite getting a little less money in Oakland. Good for him.

But it wasn't Ted's move alone.

I dunno if he’s the next great RB from the U, but Travis Homer is a cool name. And he’s white, too, a la #30 of the Donkeys.

Shoulda drafted Homer instead of D-Will.

Btw, Metcalf looked disinterested today going against Peterson. Wilson was too scared to test Peterson.

I think silos were still around Lombardi Ave at that point in time. Ultimately, Bennet for Cook was Todd’s call.

Boring.

Change it up.

[yetisnowman]

Not head to head. Better conference record.

Yeah i shoulda been clear. Meant a two way tie goes to GB vs NO. Head to head was obviously a poor choice of words.

[yetisnowman]

Yeah check that foo!!

Fun question: Is a number 1 spot really what you want to see? How that shit work out that last couple of times?

This year very much so. Teams like Sea, NO, MIN coming to Lambeau is a huge leg up for this inconsistent squad. I think cold weather helps mask a bit of their weaknesses.

[Joemailman]

Overstate much?

Not possible.

He's a fast food worker with bad takes. Some things never change.

Entertaining to see the Bears booed off the field at halftime.

Bears are such a trainwreck :lol:

I don’t think it’s overstating to say Kid Rock is trash.

[pbmax]

I think silos were still around Lombardi Ave at that point in time. Ultimately, Bennet for Cook was Todd’s call.

It was. In hindsight, it did not work out well. But he was also watching Cook walk that offer around and had a better (so most thought) TE available for not much more that was exactly what his coach was asking for.

It takes always takes two to tango, if Cook agrees right away, he is still a Packer.

[ThunderDan]

I can’t stand Troy.

Says Washington played good D in the 1st as Dallas hangs 20 on them.

Cowboys with a lead. Eagles were just tied by GI Ants.

Tired: the Patriots are washed

Wired: Brian Flores should be COY

Inspired: Belichick is tanking this game to let the Jags leapfrog Miami in the draft and keep Tua out of the AFC East

[pittstang5]

Giants are melting down. Damn, I loathe the Eagles and don't want them to see the playoffs

[Teamcheez1]

How do you choose between hating the Eagles or Cowboys more?

Way better them then Dallas.

[pittstang5]

I live in Eagles Country. bunch of arrogant a-hole fans, still living off the superbowl win.

Besides, Dallas gets in playoffs, they're not going far. Eagles get in, who knows.

The fat lady is singing. Eagles in the playoffs.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I haven't run into many Eagles fans, so I don't loathe them. The team itself is easy to root for. They have a lot of character. Pederson, former Packers backup, keeps that team together. Wentz is fun to watch + a Bison. They are going to win the division over the Cowboys with a bunch of PS guys playing significant snaps. On top of that, they crushed the Vikings in the NFC Championship Game a couple of years ago.

There is that. Also, Pederson must be a heck of a coach and a favorite of mine.

Did you know them before the SB win?

Remind them that most of their family roots for the Steelers :lol:

[pittstang5]

Did you know them before the SB win?

Yes and then winning the superbowl made the fans even worse, if that was even possible.

[pbmax]

Yes and then winning the superbowl made the fans even worse, if that was even possible.

When I knew them, they were very excited about Montgomery and Carmichael, the Bill Bergy defense and Vermeil. But most of them were rooting for the Steelers. :D

I will say this, the dislike of the Cowboys was very real :lol:

Very similar I'd imagine to the Bears getting run over by the Packers for 25 years.

[RashanGary]

Even as 2 seed, philly could roll through and knock run offenses like Seattle and SF right off so we might see two at lambeau anyway

[George Cumby]

Niners looking like they have a different gear.

[RashanGary]

Niners looking like they have a different gear.

Inconsistent tho. So we'll see. I do hope they get philly cuz philly matches well to SF. Wentz and Pederson bring some unpredictability to any game. Im not likijg SF lookint so good but its the NFL, csn be humbled

[pbmax]

Niners don’t look like they are losing to anyone.

[RashanGary]

Niners don’t look like they are losing to anyone.

Theyve lost three times

[pbmax]

Theyve lost three times

Not tonight.

[pbmax]

Ok. Have heard Starship (Bay area) and Heart (Seattle).

Did I just hear Marillion?

What decade is this? What does Britain have to do with this game?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Niners don’t look like they are losing to anyone.

Seattle is incredibly banged up and they can't put them away.

[texaspackerbacker]

Wow. I got disgusted and stopped watching a while ago. Seattle is coming back on them. Maybe that #1 seed is still within reach.





shit ........ never mind.

[HowardRoark]

Just googled the Bosa brothers...Jake Kumerow is their cousin, didn’t know that one. Great grandpa was the crime boss of Chicago; I could see that.

[Bretsky]

WOW; Seattle has a chance to steal this game

[Bretsky]

RUSSELL WILSON DRIVING DOWN FOR THE WIN; JUST LIKE OLD TIMES

[Fosco33]

Let’s go Russell

[call_me_ishmael]

C'mon Russ, pull this one off!

[call_me_ishmael]

Kyle Shanahan looks like such a tool in his flat brimmed hat. I am glad Matty goes for cool Dad instead of tool Dad.

[esoxx]

9ers can't handle Metcalf

[Bretsky]

Metcalf would really help

[Anti-Polar Bear]

RUSSELL WILSON DRIVING DOWN FOR THE WIN; JUST LIKE OLD TIMES

With a little help from DK.

[call_me_ishmael]

Metcalf just lowers his head and says "F it, I'm going through" lol.

[Bretsky]

9ers can't handle Metcalf

YUP

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Metcalf would really help

Reminds me of Jordy Nelson.

[esoxx]

How bout a draw play?

[Bretsky]

CRAP Russ missed him there

[beveaux1]

Lots of pressure.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Come on Russell. Couple of bad passes here at the end.

[beveaux1]

This is the ballgame.

[esoxx]

YES!!!

[Bretsky]

HOLY CRAP RUSSELL

[esoxx]

Mr. Clutch!

[Bretsky]

MR CLUTCH

[call_me_ishmael]

YESSSS RUSS!!!!!

[esoxx]

Wtf a delay penalty???

[Bretsky]

HOLY SHIT DID DELAY OF GAME REALLY JUST HAPPEN ?

[beveaux1]

Bad coaching.

[Bretsky]

Wtf a delay penalty???


That is just horrible horrible coaching

[HarveyWallbangers]

What the hell were they doing? Delay of game on 2nd and goal from the 1.

[esoxx]

OMG Hollister mauled in the end zone

[HarveyWallbangers]

Why didn't they review that obvious PI?

[esoxx]

This is chaos!!! Did he break the plane???

[Bretsky]

he is short

[esoxx]

Why didn't they review that obvious PI?

So ridiculous! On such a huge play like that they don't review. So lame

[HarveyWallbangers]

The fact they didn't review the PI is complete BS.

[Bretsky]

What the hell were they doing? Delay of game on 2nd and goal from the 1.

horrible

[RashanGary]

Eagles match well with these guys. 49ers aren't handed anything.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Not a TD.

[HowardRoark]

That field is cursed for Packers

[call_me_ishmael]

Wow, that was a disaster of an ending. That penalty is killer! Dude got the ball to the two inch line.

[esoxx]

2" short of the #1 seed in the playoffs! FUCCKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Bretsky]

The fact they didn't review the PI is complete BS.

HOW can they not stop the for a review ?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Delay of game penalty cost them the game.

[Bretsky]

2nd and goal at the one

WOW

You could fire a guy for that

[esoxx]

Nice job Pete you fucktard

[beveaux1]

Rather spike the ball and lose a down than lose 5 yds. That’s just poor.

[Bretsky]

Still don't get how the dam refs don't stop and look at the PI

[HarveyWallbangers]

The PI was so bad that you'd think they would have almost had to overturn the non-call. I wouldn't mind Seattle getting screwed on a call, but it sucks when it hurts us.

[beveaux1]

Still don't get how the dam refs don't stop and look at the PI

They wouldn’t have overturned the no call on the field.

[esoxx]

Still don't get how the dam refs don't stop and look at the PI

The guy was completely mugged in the end zone. I'm not sure how a ref can't throw a flag there to begin with. Shades of New Orleans last season

[Fosco33]

Crazy end. Delay of game? No PI call. Inches short. Wow.

[pbmax]

HOW can they not stop the for a review ?

New York was as ready for that as Pete and Schotty were for 2nd and goal from the 1.

[Bretsky]

They wouldn’t have overturned the no call on the field.

Even the booth ref noted it was obvious

[pbmax]

Even the booth ref noted it was obvious

They haven't been overruling them, ben when TV booth is on board. Still should have been reviewed.

[Bretsky]

[pbmax]

DK Metcalf kinda looked like MVS when he got bumped off his route. :lol:

[esoxx]

I blame pbmax for this. He said there was no way the 49er's were losing tonight. I hope you're happy :lol:

[pbmax]

Dominant win. Just as I said/predicted.

:D

[esoxx]

What a huge swing there for San Fran. They go from a five seed and playing next week to number one seed. If they end up winning the Super Bowl, they can thank Pete Carroll and his merry band of misfits.

I am assuming the Packers are playing on the 12th. It wouldn’t be fair to make the NFC winner in the first week of the playoffs have to play on a short week.

[call_me_ishmael]

Packers apparently get the late game. That's good. The colder the better against the Saints. Hopefully a sloppy field too.

[ThunderDan]

This is completely fucked up. How does the NFL screw the NFC team that has to play SF? 6 days rest after a playoff game to play a team that has a week off. Might as well give SF a 7-0 lead before the game starts.

[Joemailman]

Both NFC wild card games are on Sunday. So one of those teams will have to play on a short week. We don't know who.

[woodbuck27]

I blame pbmax for this. He said there was no way the 49er's were losing tonight. I hope you're happy :lol:

A very exciting end to that game but Seattle was mugged.

Only twice has a 13-3 division champion had to play on wild-card weekend.
In 2011, when the top three seeds were GB SF and NO, with the Saints as No. 3.
In 2019, when the top three seeds were SF GB and NO, with the Saints as No. 3.

[pbmax]

Why didn't the NFL review the possible DPI on Hollister?

What, are you kidding, we did review it! Thoroughly, completely. Innocent as a toddler.


https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ENA0emdVUAA9TSE?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

[yetisnowman]

Man soooooo close to homefield throughout. Now we likely have to beat NO and SF. But the consolation is the Seahawks got the heartbroken with some garbage officiating at home. I think we can beat NO at home, but a win in SF would require the Packer offense to play their best game in months.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Amazing job by Pederson and Wentz.


The Eagles had 400 yards of offense on Sunday afternoon - 279 of them came from players who were on the practice squad earlier this season.

The Eagles were operating without these offensive players they were counting on when the season began: DeSean Jackson, Lane Johnson, Brandon Brooks, Zach Ertz, Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, Corey Clement, Darren Sproles and Miles Sanders.

[texaspackerbacker]

We are the victim of left over karma - not ours, but Seattle's. They are still paying for the fail Mary game.

[George Cumby]

^ What he said.

[Zool]

Pete Carroll is a bad human.

[Sparkey]

The delay of game was classic Pete Carroll game mismanagement. It cost them a win.

I do not understand why the league didn't review the obvious PI in the end zone. Carroll even called a timeout so they would have time to look at it.

[Sparkey]

He couldn't throw the challenge flag on it even if he wanted to. It is supposed to be a league review after the 5 minute mark in the 4th quarter.

Right, but Seattle didn't have a timeout to give the booth extra time to decide if they wanted to review the play. It's the last 2 minutes of both halves where the booth has to initiate the review.

NFL said they looked at the play but did not buzz down to the officials because they felt it was not pass interference.


After the game, Riveron told pool reporter Tim Booth he did look at the play but deemed it not a penalty.

"Well, we actually looked at it here in New York," Riveron said. "We had a great look. NBC gives us a great look of the entire route. So, we actually did perform a review, but based on what we saw, we didn't see enough to stop the game. But we did review it. What we see is, we see the offensive player come in and initiate contact on the defensive player -- nothing that rises to the level of a foul which significantly hinders the defender, nothing that is clear and obvious through visual evidence, which hinders the defender. The defender then braces himself. And there is contact then by the defender on the receiver. Again, nothing which rises to the level of a foul based on visual evidence. Nothing happens that rises to the level of a foul while the ball is in the air before it gets there by either player."

[Freak Out]

Amazing job by Pederson and Wentz.

Wentz has played lights out.
