Man that gif of Bowman is terrible.

Hope he comes back stronger and better. Don't care for the Niners but love watching that group of LBs.

Seahawks O:

RB - Marshawn Fucking Lynch - Amazing
QB - Russell Wilson - Very Solid
WR - Decent to great, depending on who is healthy.
Line - We subbed in a third tackle rather than having a TE for most of the second half last night, because they couldn't get it done otherwise.

We have more talent at the key positions than the 2005-6 Hawks did, and we had a comparatively unstoppable offense then. The major difference is all in the Line. Always is, always will be.
We're fucking your fans and impregnating them(maybe even your family). How does that make you feel?
Judging by the type of people I see in Steelers gear, I really couldn't care less. Though I suppose meth head kids are slightly worse off with a Steelers fan as a role model than their trashy addict mom.

49ers LB NaVorro Bowman is expected to be ready for the start of the 2014 season, per source. Bowman will undergo surgery on his torn ACL.

Duff and Gully in one corner.

cdy and Kiryu in one corner.

Does Kiryu's incomprehensible babble put Seahawks-GAF over the top? Or will Duff's San Franciso Sourdough pour on through?
Awww No love for me? Well It is given that I'm useless Seahawks fan here. :(
 
It is interesting, but I wonder more how the Seahawks can score as many points as the Broncos can due to the lethal level of personnel to pass the ball to. So far every team has been forced to throw the ball more to keep up. Does anyone feel Wilson has these weapons? The Broncos will target the run game first on D as they have always done with Del rio as the defensive coordinator. Wilson will have to step up more then ever. i just do not see it happening,.

The Broncos have played low-scoring games in recent weeks, especially by this season's standards. I don't know if the slower, more deliberate, careful drives they've had lately are the best formula against the Seahawks, but the 24 or 26 points they've put up the last 2 games aren't at all out of reach of the Seahawks offense.

I feel pretty good about the Broncos chances. I think in a "routine" game, they should win by a fair margin. But I worry about surprises, particularly fumbles or missed catches becoming interceptions. The Broncos were fumbling way too much this year. They've got a clamp on it lately, but no doubt Seattle's game plan in that cold will include a heavy emphasis on trying to strip the ball.

Yeah very true, just wanted to see what squicky would say

Trust no one. It's every team for themselves.
 
Best of luck to Bowman. They should've bronzed that ball for him. The way he tucked it away while his knee was bending sideways is unbelievable. And we better see a "Bowman rule" next year that makes visible turnovers reviewable anywhere on the field.

I don't see how that can be possible. Science.

Bowman plays defense. Goodell doesn't give a fuck about him.

I don't see how anyone can responsibly say that considering he tore both his ACL and MCL and it was really late in the playoffs. See how "ready" RG3 was to start this season.

The past three seasons have ended in just about the most painful, soul crushing ways possible. I actually envy the people who only route for their team casually, and are able to give up on football for a few seasons or bandwagon jump between different teams. These people have no concept of the feelings of despair & emptiness swirling within me right now. They never will. I blame my dad for regularly shaming fair-weather fans when I was growing up(he's a Cowboy fan) as I feel like he robbed me of any reprieve from the sports darkness. As it stands I sit here helpless, powerless to do anything besides bend over and take it, in hopes that at the very least, the football gods see fit to lube up next year.

Anyway, congrats again to Seahawks-GAF and Broncos-GAF. Reflect on your stellar seasons and enjoy the next 2 weeks as much as possible because The Void awaits one of you.

The niners window is still wide open. Quit being a fucking baby.

I'm not even sure who this is...
 
What we consider the 2 point try can replace the PAT, and maybe putting the ball at the 10 yard line can be the new 2 point conversion. To me, PATs, onside kicks and KO returns can go away and I won't care.

There needs to be a replacement for the onside kick, but right now, it's just two groups of guys running full speed into each other. That's fine for HS and maybe college, but in the NFL, where the guys colliding run 4.6 and weight 250 lbs, it's madness
Can't say I remember the last time someone got injured during an onside kick.

This always comes off like first world problems when you consider a day in the life of a Bills, Browns or Lions fan. ;)

Just saying. You're team was has been in the NFC Championship three years in a row and made it to the Super Bowl one of those years. It's tough to lose, sure but a little perspective helps. It could be worse.

it's the way we lost those games though...you don't get those types of opportunities too often in the NFL..and to lose


that close 3 years in a row.

it is more frustrating and draining when you see our issues for most of the season, and the coaches don't adjust..and it comes into play in those games....and add that to the officiating...and yeah, a pretty sick sick feeling... I'm almost starting to expect bad officiating and bad coaching.

like that offside we did on defense to basically lose the game, during the timeout the coaching staff should've drilled that into their heads...it's 4th and fucking long.. DO NOT GO OFFSIDES...don't fall for that shit.

If we don't win or go back to a Super Bowl during the Harbaugh-era Joe Flacco would have ruined my chance to see them win it.

Joe. Flacco.

Joe. Fucking. Flacco.

Bill Simmons said:
SG: This should be a daily ESPN2 afternoon show: Conspiracy Talk! Look, I wrote approximately 20,000 words about it last February: I don’t trust the words “miraculous recovery” with professional sports. Not after everything we witnessed these last 20 years. In 2012, Terrell Suggs returned within FIVE MONTHS of tearing his Achilles, chopping the expected recovery time in more than half. Did you think that was miraculous? Ridiculous? Hilarious? Specious? Pick a word that ends with “ous” — it probably fits.

It’s just funny that the NFL makes such a big deal about head-hunting and concussion safety, yet their players continue to bend all reasonable expectations of recovery time from major injuries as bystanders use words like “amazing” and “baffling.” You know what was amazing? Jim Abbott pitching with one fucking hand. That was amazing. Someone chopping the time of a torn Achilles recovery in half — that’s not amazing. That’s something else.

...

True story: When Lindsey Vonn wrecked her knee in a ski accident last February, just a few days after I wrote that PEDs column, a sports industry friend emailed me (I’m paraphrasing), Here you go … you wanted to see how a normal athlete could recover from a severe injury while being monitored under strict Olympic drug-testing rules. You got your wish. Vonn returned to the slopes in September even though her recovering knee never felt right. She thought it felt unstable. A little wobbly, even. She kept pushing it … and in November, she crashed and tore her ACL. So long, Olympics. My friend emailed me shortly after: “Lindsey had the best resources in the world and couldn’t come back within a year. Turns our your theory was spot-on. At least in this case.” I don’t know if that’s right or wrong — we’re talking about a one-person sample size. But had that February knee injury happened to any player on any of this weekend’s football teams, would they be “recovered” and playing this weekend? You tell me.

How indeed!

Perfectly put. There's losing, and then there's getting your heart ripped out and shown to you. The latter has happened to us 3 straight seasons in the biggest games there are.

Can't say I remember the last time someone got injured during an onside kick.

I recall a game, I think it was SD vs someone, and one of the receivers got hit helmet to helmet and was out for awhile. To me, it's just a speed problem. It's like hockey and basketball: the rink/court wasn't designed for guys that big and fast. I know there has been discussion to make those wider in the past. The NFL rules just need to be adapted for guys who are as big and fast as the modern player.

I didn't have a chance to say anything on Neogaf last night when my phone died so I had some reading to catch up today.

I am mad about that one seahawks fan that threw popcorn at Bowman. That is lowest as 12th man can go. However that doesn't represent the entire 12th man fanbase.

I hope for him to make a speedy recovery.

I don't think you see many onside kick injuries because 1) onside kicks are rare, and 2) GOOD onside kicks, where people actually go up in the air or dive for the ball (instead of just kicking it to the other team and having the player fall on the ball immediately) are even rarer.

Seahawks LCB Richard Sherman has apologized for his comments following Sunday's NFC Championship Game victory.
"I apologize for attacking an individual and taking the attention away from the fantastic game by my teammates," Sherman told ESPN's Ed Werder. "That was not my intent." Notice, Sherman didn't take back anything he said about Michael Crabtree. Although Sherman's on-field confrontation of Crabtree was a bit much, his post-game tirade was the kind of unscripted moment that's been sorely lacking in the Belichick-era NFL. Expect to see the brutally-honest Sherman all over your television set between now and Super Bowl XLVIII.
 
So let's see, the SB should actually be enjoyable to watch. No Cheating asshats, No Failco, No Harbum brothers.....though there's still cheatin Pete. And Belicheat is pissed at Welker, hilariously awesome.

And it looks like I wrapped up the Confidence Pick em, which I think is only my second win since I started playing like oh, I don't know, maybe 7 or 8 years ago.

the good thing is our core players are signed for the next couple of years.

BUT, we might lose a player or two...and the Cards and Rams are improving, fast. But thank god they still have Palmer and who ever the Rams get...I don't think they will be able to jell in time come playoff time...so more stressful games going late into next season.

I just want a new OC... I hate that we don't try to comfortably put teams away..we just try to be conservative till the very end...and when you do that, officiating mistakes and a player brain fart could be your undoing.

not that this approach would've worked against the Seahawks yesturday, but for some reason we came out in the same formations we've tried in previous games against them.....and trying to run from there, when it obviously doesn't work..sure you'll get one break out run maybe..but come on. If you watched the Cardinals vs Seahawks game. The Saints used what seemed like the exact same running formations and had much better success that what we've tried in the past.

now Roman looks bad again, and no NFL team will give him a job. I can only hope some college team comes into play.

Lol you're so biased it's obsurd. The Pats oline has been a joke this year, and we have ONE weapon whose even in the same conversation as TY is Edelman, who has done nothing at all his whole career outside of punt returns. I agree they got slapped around, you're not seeing me argue that, the defense is decimated at this point, Mayo, Wilfork, Dennards knee, and finally Talib gone most of the game, even still Peytons arsenal is absurd... anybody would tear it up with that group. It's like I said I'd take a stacked team like that any day over calvin johnson, it just causes too many mismatches, and you're going to exploit someone.

So when Brady has no weapons, a below average o-line, and no continuity it's his fault, but with Andrew luck it's the o line and lack of weapons. You're not making me in the least bitter, Peyton is a beast, they were the better team, I typed it before the game, I told everyone I had the broncs by 10. The AFC was a joke, the pats were no different, they need to make some moves this offseason.

Did you miss the part where Brady over threw like 4 wideopen receivers?

Or did you only catch the part where his passes were so perfect they were off target?

So you really think Colts O-line is Pats tier. I wonder if you think our coaching staff is on par with yours too.
