    Update on sherman

    Yes it should. I'd much rather live in a world where someone must prove their allegation against you before punishing you, rather than punishing you off a suspicion. It unavoidably ends with "guilty" parties walking, but this process also prevents gross injustices (see Bountygate).

    Update on sherman

    People please get your quotes right! I'm thoroughly confused with comments not being quoted as intended, being attributed to the wrong poster, etc. Sherman has nothing to gain by going public with his case now. Coaches are coy with injuries because they don't want to give away anything to their...

    Would you trade the Mariners for an NBA team?

    And those teams, despite lots of losing to build good young talent, have always been pretty bad. Which is why people write off those who say the team will be good in a couple of years. It's not a dismissal of the positives with the team, but an acknowledgement that the ownership will find a way...

    How does a D stop our Read Option?

    Oregon has been reliant on the Read Option for years. It is different than our read option - Oregon tends to run more of a slow developing read where the QB waits a long time before handing off/taking off - but it's the same basic philosophy. Like any kind of option, the key is for the...

    Mariners....

    They've (FO) dug their own grave, though. 10 years since the playoffs and an amazing string of terrible signings/trades, the Mariners are like the Jacksonville Jaguars of MLB, and who would want to play for the Jaguars?

    Toronto stadium is a sellout at 45,000

    There may be a lot of animated Hockey fans, but I doubt they're animated Hockey fans who root for the Bills with passion. I see this as a neutral site game, still a road trip (for both teams), but I wouldn't expect a HFA for Buffalo.

    The Russell Okung appreciation thread

    I'd have a lot easier time agreeing with this thread if Okung wasn't among the most penalized linesmen in the league. He's played great as a run blocker. I love the nasty attitude. But he has hurt us too much with penalties (9 accepted according to Sando - 6 false starts and 3 holds) for me to...

    I believe that "stats" are deceiving (this season)....

    Well of course stats without context (in the efficiency argument, total possessions) are useless. Making it like any other kind of analysis. If you tend to look at just yardage to determine the quality of an offense, the stats are not the problem. YOU are, because you're grabbing one slice of...

    Russell Wilson: 2nd in QBR since Week 5 behind only Brady

    Wins and Losses are stats. They're just not very predictive of future success - they tell you what you did, but they don't give much insight on how you're going to do (not with 16 games, at least) in comparison to everyone else. That's where more advanced stats come in, especially those that...

    Go Card!

    Will we ever get a F%*@*$& kicker?

    Go Card!

    Not a good start for us. I liked the first attempt to go for it, but not the second. I've been pretty nervous about this game all week. We've had a lot of key players get hurt. But I think we'll pull this off. And Stanford fails to convert on 4th. Oregon lucked out.

    Marcus Mariota's last 2 games

    Let's look at Mariota as a prospect. I've seen most of his games, but I haven't scouted him. Pros: Plus arm strength, can throw the ball to all areas of field without trouble. Ball arrives with zip. Known as a cool customer in the pocket. Makes multiple reads. Generally good at throwing the...

    If Seattle did invest in a WR, who would he replace?

    Sure, but it's even harder to fill if you don't try ;)

    If Seattle did invest in a WR, who would he replace?

    I think I'd like to get a #1 or #1-2 WR and move Tate to the slot, and let him compete with Baldwin. All around depth would be improved quite a bit. Rice is a true starting WR, whether he is #1 or #2 I keep him at least another year since we look pretty good in terms of cap room next year...

    Which type are you?

    I'm a postgame jerk. Not a "freak out" jerk who claims that the sky is falling, fire Carroll, etc, but I will be in a bad mood til sleep, and possibly the next day as well if the loss was particularly bad/tough. That's an improvement, it used to take until midweek for me to bounce back. Even my...

    Oops... The Wilson interception thread

    Aww, man. I will never know if 515 was joking or not now!

    FLYNN for Deboo (HYPOTHETICAL)

    Are you joking? Hmm. 9 games missing a good backup QB vs 9 games missing a #1 WR + solid chance of keeping a #1 WR for years. It's not that tough a question. There are "solid" backup QBs on the market right now (which is why I don't think KC would do this), not Flynn's caliber (else they'd...

    Ringworm Sherm spoke for .NET

    Richard Sherman tells press to "shut their mouth"

    I decided the same thing before the pick (but after a couple great PDs). I also remarked to my Dad (again, before the pick) that we are going to have to pay Sherman stupid money. My Dad remarked "I don't care" and I agreed. I think he's been our best player in 2012. Not to get hyperbolic, but...

    The Russell Okung appreciation thread.

    Yeah, Okung has been noticed for all the bad reasons. So far, his rookie year has been his best as a pass protector. Last year was riddled with false starts, holds, and too many sacks. This year I think the sacks are down, but the penalties are up. He's doing work as a run blocker, though...
