Hoping for a good game, and good showing for the Seahawks this weekend. If Tebow had to come in and the pass rush got a good hard sack or two on him, that would be a bonus!
I bet it will get loud at that game! Hoping for some beast mode from Lynch, that will take pressure of Wilson, and open up the offense too!

Well, from reading because I could not get the game on TV, it looks like the Seahawks pulled it off, though it wasn't completely pretty. I hope they invest in the offensive line. I think it would improve some things.

The Saints over the Falcons.
Peyton keeps rolling along.........Iggles crashed and burned to the hated Cowboys here in Philly.......Vick got a concussion and left in the 2nd quarter.......Reid had his usual questionable play-calling and the leather-lunged boo-birds rained a cacophony of BOOS down on the field.....Noles did half-decent for a rookie under pressure...special tems gave up a TD....Maclin did a great Ricky Waters impression by short-arming a ball thrown to him over the middle.
FUGLY!!! Why do we have to wait for the season to end to fire Reid?
The Texans barely managed a win in ugly conditions over the Bears.
8-1 for the season.
A win is a win.......esp against a very good team in their stadium/fans. Your tied for the best record in the league while my IGGLES found new and inventive ways to give up points. lol
There was a point in the first half where I was convinced the final score would be 3-0 as the teams continued to trade INTs on nearly every possession for a good stretch there. It may have been ugly, but it was a big win for the Texans to go on the road in terrible weather conditions and beat an extremely aggressive defense like Chicago's.
The NFL blacked me out of the Bucs game so I had to listen on the radio. Not the most impressive offensive performance for the Bucs (at least in contrast with what they've been doing lately) but as PBP wisely said, a win is a win and the Bucs now officially have more of those than they did all of last season. I'm still not ready to use "the P word" lest I set off a wave of Jim Mora imitations, but I can legitimately see this team going 9-7 and that would be a spectacular turnaround from 4-12 last season.
I also missed most of the 4th quarter of the Bucs' game because we had to go to my daughter's championship soccer game. Her team finished the season undefeated (8 wins/2 ties) and won yesterday's championship game on penalty kicks when the score was 1-1 at the end of regulation. Not bad to be on a championship team at age 4 the first season she ever played team sports. I had to wait until I was 12 before one of my teams won a title.
We watched the Iggles.
Well, at least the backup QB did better than expected for someone who gets no snaps during practice.
The first half wasn't pretty. The second half was very good though. The Jets pass rush was pretty impressive and they did a great job of stopping Marshawn in the first half. About mid-way through the third quarter it was apparent that they were losing steam and the 'Hawks really got rolling. I was greatly disappointed that Earl Thomas didn't get an interception, although Richard Sherman did. The several sacks of Sanchez were quite nice. The Jets offense didn't score at all.
Wilson seemed out of his element in the first quarter and appeared overwhelmed by the aggressive Jets pass rush. However, rather than spiraling downhill like some QBs do under pressure, he regained his composure and had a great game with some impressive runs too. I think this is the third game in a row where Carroll has used a receiver to make a pass play - with good success. An odd approach, but it's been working very well for them. Now both tate and Rice have TD passes in their resumes.
@NWBasser, I saw on the internet that the Seahawks were being aired on CBS, and so was hopeful I could see the game. But apparently that was regional info. Blocked out here. I have to find a way without spending too much money to stream Seahawks and Husky games on the internet, or at least audio.

6' 9" King Dunlap got hit with 3 hands-to-the-face penalties.........there were some plays where the D went through untouched.....another play where if Demarcus Ware had taken a straight line in, instead of inexplicably taking a loop inside, he would have knocked Noles right out of the stadium.
Scary times for sure. Reid probably won't get axed until the season's over.....mainly out of respect for his long tenure here....and that scares me because then it might be.......CHUCKY TIME.
