Well, Seaslugs need to beat SF in SF (that should happen) but need Atlanta to lose at home against the Saints to get a buy in the first round.

Not sure about the latter happening.

In other games, Redskins favored -7 in the spread at home against the Giants.

Is Kirk Cousins with a long-term big money deal?

Some short vids on the O-line in Seattle:

I tried to embed those vids and comments but don't know how.

They are telling. The Seattle O-line is very bad this year. Lowest paid in the league as they spent elsewhere. They even had a guy (Fant) who never played on the O-line before. Ifedi has been getting schooled in the last couple of games and Bradley Sowell is mediocre.

Here is a game called: "find the missing quarterback." Where is Russel Wilson? He's under that pile of Cardinal players:

Here's a good one for Redhaze.

the quaterback sneak:

The Niners are making moves.

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to make sweeping changes, dismissing both head coach Chip Kelly and general manager Trent Baalke, according to league sources.

4 head coaches in 4 years.

Coach Chip Kelly, GM Trent Baalke to be dismissed by San Francisco 49ers

Seahwaks cannot run, still.

They will play the loser of the Green Bay v. Lions game in the playoffs.


And Kirk Cousins: "how do you like me now." Skins are not going to the playoffs.

But given the fact that the Vikes lost their leading rusher, lost their OC, and went through 12 O-linemen this season, 8-8 ain't bad.
Your assessment of Bradford was obviously way, off, Sam. Given all he had to deal with, he had a very good year. Worst rushing team in the league, and he throws for almost 4,000 yards and set the record for completion percentage.

way off? even you admitted he blows. bradford was a net zero at best. put in michael vick and you probably finish the same. MIN mortgaged their future by going after the bum.

4 yd completed passes dont score pts. mins D and ST won some gms. sammy dinked and dunked his way to losses. hurray for him.

Yo dipstick. If blocked your PMs.
To whom do I address this envelope?

The Colin Kaepernick Fan Club President?

sounds like zimmer wants bradford to start next season even if teddy is back at full strength. uhoh

1) that means zimmer thinks bridgewater sux.
2) zimmer is apparently blind to the fact that bradford will never win a thing.

Ridiculous. Sometimes I just think....you can't hear yourself type or something.

Plus I think its hard to "dink and dunk" your way to near 4,000 yard territory, isn't it?

Granted I didn't follow the team that closely, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that yardage means some throws were....well....thrown.

P.S. How about that Tavon Austin? Great player amirite?

tavon struggled in cases/jareds universe. thats certainly true. give him a decent QB...

how good were the cards? palmer? stafford sux w/o calvin, right? mediocre arm lol

bradford cant hit deep passes. he probably lost 2-3 gms simply by missing surefire TDs to wide open folks. he can dink and dunk and make quick reads. hurray. hes a mediocre gm manager level QB. he also has probably the worst sack evasion skills in the history of football. sure, the line aint great but sammy couldnt evade a turtle.

teddy (who also cant hit anything over 20 yds with any kind of consistency) is far more likely to develop into a winning QB, i.e. someone who aggressively wins gms instead of playing not to lose.

Not sure any of the games on tap this weekend are lining up to be classics.

Raiders-Texans is set to be a battle of terrible QBs.

Seahawks lost to AZ at home, barely beat San Fran, to close the season. Detroit is entering the playoffs on a 3 game losing streak.

Dolphins are likely to have a backup QB leading them, and it will be cold in Pittsburgh.

Giants at Green Bay is the best chance of a competitive game worth watching.

certainly not shaping up to be an unforgettable postseason.

HOU, MIA, OAK do not even matter on the AFC side. PIT and KC have a legit shot of taking down NE, tho.

NFC is a bit more wide open since the table is set for an epic DAL collapse, which would be delightful to behold.

I'm high on Atlanta, as they have zero chance of playing in bad weather, which should serve their prolific passing offense well. Their running game is more than decent. Last game against New Orleans notwithstanding, their defense was better late in the season versus the first half.

New England is hard to get my mind around. Their defensive stats are impressive, but they have not faced many tough tests. No Gronkowski looms large. Bennett is decent, but he is not Gronkowski. In their favor is the strong possibility of hosting Houston for their first playoff game.

NE is in the chip gm no matter what. brady would have to get hurt to prevent that. then its up to PIT to overwhelm with TDs or KCs D to reign supreme. im a big believer in KC if houston can play. they have all the pieces.

ATL could be a contender, but jones needs to be 90% for them to beat the big boys.

Seattle sat some of their players on D for much of the game, correct? I may be wrong. I didn't watch it all.

I think Seattle will beat Detroit due to homefield Clink advantage, but then they'll travel to Atlanta and I'm not confident on them beating the Falcons on their turf (no pun intended).

I'm always excited to see the Seahawks lose. Hopefully it'll happen this week. Hard not to root for a team like the Lions. What franchise is longer suffering than them? Well ok, actually the Cardinals are a contender in that category but still I'll be rooting for them to do well since my team is at home anyway

I'd be more concerned, from Seattle's perspective, about Russell Wilson taking some big shots versus Arizona, then looking generally awful versus mediocre San Fran. The Seattle offense is in the bottom half of the league this season.

Without ET3 in the hawks secondary, Detroit has a chance to do some scoring. And Detroit will be chucking it, as they don't have much of a running game. Of course, neither does Seattle this season.

was back in SEA for Christmas,

everything's great with the sea hawks except for the offensive line, protecting the quarterback.

Go sea hawks.
