Who is the muslim they're referring to?

Big Ben pulled a Romo, and I don't think there is any question that Dak P. should remain the Cowboy starter.

My dear aunt they never know they are dumb in the first place. Look at rpeter ffs.

Keep ain't no muzzie is he?

OK, OK,. My fault. I didn't read the link. That is a reference to Keep

But he aint a muzzie far as I know.

Very sad and pretty stupid as well. But the headline is certainly sensationalist considering it was one person. Not that there aren't other legitimate problems noted in the article, mind.

Buffalo is a place where dreams die slowly and painfully, so I imagine there is some anger there that puts our country in a worse light than usual. Still ridiculous though

Got lucky on that last play because it was clearly pass interference. On to Arizona. Looking for a Jets upset tomorrow.

I had to stop watching at half-time because of an obligation.

I'll look for Sherman's torches or blows on the tape.

I heard Bennet and L. Willson were injured but not seriously. Injury gods always lurking.

At a time in the NFL when everything defenders do constitutes PI, how that play was not is unfathomable.

Chalk it up to home cooking bullshit.

Yeah.

Lot of Seattle fans are happy and high-flying, but there are chinks in the Seahawks armor.

If PI called then it would have been in FB position.

They got lucky, like in Miami, IMO.

It would have been nice to see whether Jones makes that catch without Sherman draped. The guy was unstoppable all game. Props to bsnub to acknowledge it happened. A lot of posters/fans would just dig their heels in on that or gloat or whatever.

Random thought, but literally the most absurd moment of the NFL season thusfar had to be that part where they focus in on Sherman on the sideline after he gave up a huge TD and he is predictably all pissed and whiny and screaming and pushing around several of his teammates or whatever. So they cut from Sherman, a play runs in the game, a minute or so passes, and all of a sudden the camera is back on Sherman. Only this time Sherman is dead in the middle of some type of ridiculous dance circle, and he's like joining in or some shit right before they cut back. Absolutely ludicrous.

If you want a crash course in why the Seahawks are so disliked, god damn if this game didn't check every box

Almost all fans in Seattle agree it was PI. They know it should have been called. They did gloat. They know and acknowledge they got lucky.

Sherman is not one of my favorites. I'm no fan of him. I started feeling this way 2 years ago or so after he was talking trash, writing letters to a newspaper, and saying he's the best in the league. Shut up.

Now he talks less, because of his game.

I still know many people who like Sherman and he's one of their favorites. No idea why.

There is a sense of entitlement in Seattle that the Seahawks should always win or will win.

Seriously I might start liking them to lose a bit.

And the video footage on him in the sideline is not knew. They would do this last year after good plays and screw ups. Stupid

Agregious pass interference.

Whiny bitch. That little tantrum he threw on the sidelines, the whole team involved. So sick of the self-induced drama surrounding this team.

I read an article last night that basically said 'Seattle has a history of favorable home ground calls'.

Don't shoot the messenger on that. Much as I enjoy the NFL I'm probably a part-time fan at best and have no idea if it's correct or not.

'My' team for the season is always whoever is featured on 'Hard Knocks'. I have no geographical ties or anything to the US so it just makes it more interesting to have a team to follow even if it is a bit random.

The trouble is this year it's the Rams. Last year it was the Texans. Yay!

There is no truth to that. The Seahawks have been screwed by the ref's many times. The knife cuts both ways.

They got screwed in the SB against the Steelers just to give one example.

^ Exactly that was damn painful. I got so drunk after that.

As a lifelong Seahawks follower I too, am getting sick of them.

Also (as I said) the way some of the fans are.

I asked an old buddy of mine at our local pub "how's it going?" a while back and he answered, "bad. The Seahawks lost yesterday." Get a life.

Paint your face, put the "12th" man flag on your car, but you were nowhere to be seen until the latter part of the 2012 season when Wilson and the team were starting to Jell.

Don't lump us all together. Slow process for some. For me it started in high school back in Ohio in the 70s ... the seed was planted when the only guy from my tiny high school to ever play in the NFL got drafted and played 5 seasons for the Seahawks.

Then getting stationed in Oak Harbor the first time back in 1987 followed by the ex-wife choosing to settle in Seattle area when we divorced. And the writing was on the wall once I got stationed in Bremerton in 1995 and there I stayed until 2004.

I've had my place in WA for 20 years now and really feel no loyalty to Ohio anymore so WA it is!

Go Seahawks!

Agree and I'm only referring to a certain percentage of fans, and I was not referring to you at all SK.

Interesting about your buddy from high school getting drafted. One of my best buddies in high school had his step-brother get drafted by....

Guess who?


The Bengals! He played 7 seasons (or so).

And here is the Seattle Times writing (to fill space) and Richard Sherman's dummy spit on the sideline:


Richard Sherman meltdown? Seahawks say they’ll push through it and stay on course

Originally published, Updated October 17, 2016

The rage with which Richard Sherman confronted not only teammates, but defensive coordinator Kris Richard, is rarely seen in the course of an NFL game.

In the canon of Richard Sherman blowups, which can be rated roughly on a scale from crabby to Crabtree, the one on Sunday fell far short of nuclear.

At least, that was the verdict of those who know him best, and say they were hardly thunderstruck by Sherman’s thunderous second-half sideline meltdown.


“I’ve known him for 10 years,” said Doug Baldwin. “That was mild.”

Earl Thomas said he’s seen Sherman display such explosive anger “all the time. That’s nothing new.”

Perhaps, but the very visible nature of this tirade, and the rage with which Sherman confronted not only teammates, but defensive coordinator Kris Richard, is rarely seen in the course of an NFL game. And that makes it something the Seahawks are going to have to work through, and past, to keep their promising season on track.

They said, to a man, that won’t be a problem, seemingly offended at the very suggestion that Sherman’s rager would have a carry-over effect.

“There is no doubt,” Coach Pete Carroll said, slowly and forcefully, when asked if Sherman and the team can put this incident behind them, and then repeated those words for emphasis.

“These guys have been through too much together, they care too much about one another. I’m not worried about it one bit. This is a bunch of guys that are here to do the right thing, and they’ll figure it out.”


I tend to agree with that assessment, having watched the Seahawks put out fires in the past before they burned through team chemistry. The fact that they came back to win Sunday’s game after the two defensive breakdowns that pushed Sherman to the breaking point, and let Atlanta to take temporary control of the game, speaks to their resilience.

But, man, that was a sight to behold. After a wide-open Julio Jones burned them for a 36-yard touchdown pass early in the third quarter of a game the Seahawks’ defense had been dominating, Sherman lost it. I mean, he went full-goose bozo, slamming his helmet as he returned to the sideline, then screamed at Richard like an angry ballplayer confronting an umpire who had just rung him up on a pitch he knew was a ball.

Part of his anger seemed to be directed at Kelcie McCray, filling in at strong safety for the injured Kam Chancellor. As Sherman’s demonstrative tantrum continued, various teammates took their turns trying to calm him down, from Chancellor to Michael Bennett to Bobby Wagner to Earl Thomas, to no avail. Even Carroll took a crack, but Sherman would not be subdued.

Sherman acted like a spoiled baby, if it had been about his own failure then fine, but it wasn't him that blew the TD, it was the safety who was in no mans land with his todger in his hand....

To react like that about a teammates error is disgraceful....

As for the Muslim nonsense. Kaep's GF is a Muslim and at one point he tweeted happy Eid to all people celebrating. That sent Bozo Amerikkka into a frenzy that of course this man protests as he does, not because he is justified in his concerns... no, it's because he's a goddam Muslim (despite all the Bible text on his arms) the latest of bogey men and worse than those pinko Commie Fags of years gone by.

The is no evidence to suggest that Kaepernick has converted to Islam, just idiots claiming it is thus.
