Man, the disrespect you are showing Peyton Manning. The player that turned the garbage-tier team that the Broncos were at the time (some 4th quarter antics and luck by Tim Tebow didn't change your team's tier) into one of the best teams of the last 4 years and a contender for the SB each time, and that's the level of respect you show him?

"I'll support him until he does something poorly"

Your ticket is no longer valid aboard this train. Me and Hunter will ride it to the Super Bowl. You'll have to get a ride on the Greyhound Brock with it's flat tires.

You're as fairweather is they come, hilarious that you're trying to drop a lecture on Godslay.

Super Bowl is on my birthday this year. Last time the Super Bowl was on my birthday, the Steelers lost to the Packers :(

I got pity sex out of it though...

What are you talking about? I've never wavered on my support of Manning. I think I wrote like 5 different songs about wanting Peyton to come back after people wrote him off. They've wrote him off multiple times actually.

The Seattle Seahawks fell to 4-5 on the season in a huge loss to the Arizona Cardinals, their division rivals, on Sunday.

While the Seahawks nearly mounted a second-half comeback thanks to their defense waking up, of more concern in the 39-32 loss was that Russell Wilson had his worst game of the season in one of his most important games of the year.

Wilson was just 14-of-32 passing, a 44% completion percentage, for 240 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and a 67.2 passer rating.

The Seahawks now trail the Cardinals by three games and are two games behind the Wild Card leaders. If the playoffs started tomorrow, the Seahawks would be on vacation.

While Seattle has plenty of concerns, Wilson's regression this season is alarming. Wilson is on pace for a career high in passing yards, and his completion percentage is up, but his numbers have fallen in plenty of other places. His touchdown percentage is 3.8%, down from 4.4% last year. His yards per completion are down slightly, his passer rating and QB rating are down, while his interception and sack percentages are up considerably.

The Seahawks' offensive line has been a huge problem this season, but Wilson hasn't helped much. According to Football Outsiders, heading into Week 10, Seattle's offensive line was last in pass protection, allowing an adjusted sack rate of 11.2%. Yet, as noted during the Seahawks-Cardinals game, Wilson has been to blame for many of them:

As CBS' Ryan Wilson points out, Wilson hasn't made improvements as a pocket passer. Last year, Wilson took steps in becoming an improved pocket passer, making his signature scrambles all the more deadly. This year, he hasn't built upon his pocket passing as many people expected.

As ESPN 710 Seattle's Danny O'Neil argues, it's fair to wonder whether Wilson has hit his ceiling already. That's not to say he definitively has or that he won't get better, but O'Neil reports that before the draft, teams wondered whether Wilson would develop quicker than expected and then stall out. This season, it's looking as if those scouting reports may have been accurate.

Perhaps most surprising, Wilson is struggling in a season in which the Seahawks made moves to make his life easier. After a long delay, Wilson was awarded a huge contract extension, answering questions about what his future with Seattle held. The Seahawks also improved the team around him, making a blockbuster trade for Jimmy Graham to give Wilson his most formidable target yet.

Through nine games, the Graham acquisition has been uninspiring. He has had a couple of big games but many others in which he has been quiet, including his three-catch, 41-yard outing against the Cardinals. The Seahawks are using Graham as a blocker more and having him run different routes, but it's surprising that Graham and Wilson haven't developed better chemistry (his three catches came on eight targets in Week 10).

While the Seahawks still have seven weeks to turn it around, they are facing an uphill battle. They are tied in the NFC West with the 4-5 Rams. Seattle still has to play the Steelers, the Vikings, the Rams, and the Cardinals over the next seven games.

Even if any of the NFC playoff teams slip up in the next few weeks, Seattle has a tough remaining schedule, with three NFC playoff opponents on the slate. A loss to the 7-2 Vikings or the Rams or the Cardinals could essentially end their season.

If the Seahawks plan to make a run, they will need Wilson to return to form.

I hope Russell reads that every fucking day.

Super Bowl is a week after my birthday. Get ready for Weeden domination in the playoffs.
 
Full support behind Pittsburgh and Washington this week. Would be fine with either result in the other 2 games, but would absolutely love Weeden/Hoyer: Superb Owl Champs for maximum Browns troll

As much as I want the Steelers to make it to the Super Bowl, it's going to suck if they do cause I'm going to feel obliged to attend since it's on my birthday and 15 minutes from my house...

Yeah, I'm not sure I will be able to resist that financially irresponsible reality either.

Since My Chargers have been removed from the playoffs by Goodell, I have chosen the team that I will root for in these 2016 playoffs. I will stand by my good friend who has never given me lip, a friend who never would disrespect anyone if they didn't deserve it (BG).

Our Seahawks can do this Randall!

I knew there was a reason I let our friendship start anew!
 
Pats already taking AFC.

I can't see any AFC team slowing down Gronk.

Patriots O-line getting some key players back.

Brady's fav target comes back from injury as well. Pats getting all the pieces at the right time.

So looks like El Niño is starting up - four storms already on the way over the Pacific and will hit here in NorCal over the next two weeks.

Watch a really strong storm hit here during Super Bowl week!

The Seahawks, who will need to win 3 road games to make their 3rd straight Super Bowl, are on a 5 game road winning streak.

Brian Nemhauser ‏@hawkblogger 3h
The Seahawks have won their last 3 road games by 29 pts or more. That has only been done by the 1946 Browns and 1984 49ers. Both won it all.

You know how we entered the day with only two teams who were top 5 in offense and defense in the NFL? Now there is just 1.

Your Seahawks.

Edit: Bread friend, your support is appreciated.

Surely tickets to the SB start at 2500 or thereabout.

Meh. You'll find some friends blasting the Beatles through their Sonos soundbars, instead, I'm sure.
