Patriots 2nd half defense is really good.

It was painfully obvious that we were going to blow that game. I said it multiple times, and people thought it was an attempt at a jinx, but no, it was just my experience with the Ravens. When Flacco had a chance to win the game on that last drive, all I kept thinking was 2008 AFC Championship game-Troy Polomalu.

I believe this as well. Seattle is just so well run that you could put a lot of qbs in the league there and have similar results.
Harvin was the receiver for those games correct?

If you root for the packers we may be somewhat friends (for 3 hours). After that though I will go back to hating your team and hoping they lose though

Therefore, why giving him $20m/yr (which, btw, the Seahawks cannot afford as it stands) when you could potentially slot in another QB and get roughly similar results..
^^^ All of this word for word.
I'm disappointed in a strong percentage of SeahawksGAF, if Andrew Luck loses and none of you eviscerate this Andrew Luck myth. Of course, you'd have better stuff to do after this victory tonight but at some point in the offseason someone needs to shred this Andrew Luck myth. By all measurements that matter, Russell is the better quarterback since people claim he's not in the same class as Andrew. No team worth a damn allows a quarterback this talented walk because he doesn't throw for 400 yards every week. It's not easy to perform at a high level at that position week in and out.

If Wilson gets another ring, I can't even make up a reason why he wouldn't deserve whatever money he feels he's worth, whether it's $5 a year or $50 mil.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh I'm sorry, I just couldn't stop laughing at the idea of the Ravens having a home playoff game next year when our regular season schedule will include games against the Broncos, Chargers, Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams, 49ers (yeah I know but anything could happen in the offseason) and Chiefs.
Our division gonna be fucked

He's also the leader of that shitty O that did manage to score...
Andrew Luck went to the worst team in the NFL and has carried them to the playoffs. Russel has coasted along with the best D and one of the best running games in the league. Put Luck on the Seahawks and they're just as good if not better. Put Wilson on the Colts and I'm not sure if they make the playoffs.

At no point was any defense in that game "really good".

TBH I don't know, I didn't pay attention to them much as I was more concerned about the Eagles. I just know they lost some guys on defense earlier this year that are back now.

If you think the 49ers are going to be easy next year then you haven't been paying attention. Our defence is still going to be top 3 and we might have a competent offense!

He's treated like a god in that city, basically the biggest sports celebrity in Seattle since...uh...
It wouldn't surprise me if he took more money elsewhere, but it wouldn't surprise me if he took less and stayed.

This QB talk is pointless.
The real issue is the fact that Patriots-Cowboys Super Bowl is staring us dead in the face.

Wilson is a far more accurate and intelligent passer than Vick ever was.
Ichiro? Griffey? Payton?
The only guy as close to Russell in popularity in Seattle right now sports wise is Felix Hernandez.
Not many QBs could keep an offense functional behind this O-line. If this season has taught us anything, it's that a competent starting QB is a rare commodity.
Letting Russell go would be an unmitigated disaster unless the line made a huge leap in the offseason.

Are you going to hire Ryan as coach? I hate it and love it. Hate it because it'll be a good hire, and your D would be ferocious. Like it because I enjoy him and wouldn't mind him being all over the media here.

You cannot put a price on having a really good, smart, elite QB like Russel. People take that shit for granted. The team the Seahawks were playing today are a prime example. Over the last couple of years the Panthers have had a very good defense and a solid run game and what has it gotten them? You have Cam and Russel trade places and the Panthers are better while Seattle gets worse. This league is all about Quarterbacking and Coaching. When you have one or both of those things you don't take them for granted.

Eh, you think if you put Wilson on a team with an awful D (like this year's Cowboys) that he'd be able to lead them to the playoffs? Wilson is good in his current role where he doesn't have to do everything but I don't think he can carry an otherwise mediocre team.

I worry about losing Kubes. I want to be mad at him for those calls in the redzone when we didn't run, but I can't. He made our O this year. And in that game today, offense wasn't the problem. Can't complain when they throw up 31 points.

People still don't wanna give Wilson his due? lol
Guy has a shit offensive line and terrible receivers and still manages to put together a respectable offensive performance week in and week out. He's good. Deal with it.

To be fair, the only reason the Cowboys are as good as they are this season is because Tony Romo doesn't have to do everything.

Doesn't show much, he runs all the time though and that will be a problem if a defensive player gets a good hit on him. I rarely ever see him stay in the pocket unless he is slanging it to the sideline, or hoping for a big play (like Flacco). Then again I don't pay much attention to their games as I don't care for the seahawks. The games I have seen though which is like 4 of them that is all he does and it works for now, but in the future when they lose that defense and Lynch I can see it becoming a huge problem.

I can't remember the last time the patriots won a game like that.

From Panthers-GAF?
We (Panthers-GAF) are all giving you your props and congratulating you on the win. You'd have to actually expect to win to be salty when you don't.
You forgot to finish..since Ken Griffey Jr, Big Unit, Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp. Thr Seahawks were a laughingstock in the late 80's and early 90's. It wasn't until, Mike Holmgren came that Seattle started getting better and made the SuperBowl.
Russell Wilson is so disrespected by wverybody outside of Seattle. The man was told he was short, can't match Manning, Luck or Brady. The team and him destroyed the Broncos and if they make the SuperBowl and beat thr Patriots, people will still think he's average. He's the future of NFL QB's, short, run like a running back and have a good arm, and dynamic.

So a guy in his early 20s is going to take a pay cut because bandwagon fans will comp him appletinis at the neighborhood Applebee's?
Andrew started his career with Reggie Wayne, Donald Brown, Dwight Freeney, the rest of that veteran defense, a veteran offensive line, and offensive weapons. Miss me crying poverty because your team with 2-14 the previous year. They went 2-14 because Peyton went down and their team was suited to Petyon's play style. Luck inherited a veteran team coming off a bad year. Russell's numbers tell you to shut up about coasting. Put Luck on the Seahawks and we don't know where they'd be because Andrew isn't as good as Russell. The Colts go further with Russell at the helm. Andrew plays in a weaker division honestly. You're not winning this one and you know it. Russell wished he started his career with a hall of fame wide receiver and his college tight end.

Seeing the Patriots win robs me of any joy the Broncos might have of winning their matchup tomorrow.
Jeez this thread gets so weird after playoff games...
The secret to a good offense is to surround your QB with a WR2 and a ton of WR3/4's hehee
Whoa whoa whoa.
Our receivers are pedestrian, not terrible

And I will debate anybody on that to the death. Ken Griffey was a boss with also the greatest swing ever. <3

Eh, eventually you have to learn how to stay in the pocket because you are not going to be able to take hits as much and your legs are not going to be as mobile.

Well if we're trying to be fair then the Cowboys would have made the playoffs last year too if they simply had a bad defense (like this year) instead of the worst in the league (and in Cowboys history).
Romo's been carrying this team since the bye anyway. Demarco is dead.
