So why in the hell doesn't someone in media ask LYNCH

[Chapow]

I'm with the OP.

All the speculation is killing me.
One of them guys with a microphone should put it in Marshawn's face, and demand an answer :{)

We as fans have the right to hear from him.

No. No we don't.

And quite frankly, I'd rather the Panthers not know what to expect either.

What is the advantage to releasing Lynch's status early? Please enlighten me.

The advantage would be the Seahawks knowing how to distribute practice reps and what personnel is available to form a gameplan.

In other words, the Seahawks not knowing is more damaging than the panthers (or vikings) knowing.

How quickly we've gone from desperate for a winner to entitled jackholes. Other fanbases are absolutely right about us.

What would have better chances of happening. Winning the Powerball or Lynch doing a press conference?

Nope. The fans don't have a need to know. Not beyond the normal channels and the normal schedule of issuing injury status reports. The team knows. They have no legal obligation to tell anybody any more than the rules demand.

What you're suggesting is to release that info so the Panthers can set their game plans and practices. Why do that?

He too damn good to talk to US- his fans????

Marshawn likes the fans just fine, it's the media he doesn't like and I don't blame him.

Yep

On Fridays, doesn't Beast answer fan questions on his FB page?

In Marshawn's regular Wednesday press conference, he promised to announce his status for the game by Sunday morning, via the team's injury report.

Yep

This times 1000. This fan base is embarassing. Forgot about the first 36 years very quickly.

Who's to say the Seahawks don't know? What difference does that make to us, the fan? The FO will release what they feel is important for us to know, if there is such a thing.
If he makes the bus, maybe he will suit down, then maybe he might take a rep.
I don't think we will see him play until the next game, if there is one!
