    Blair Walsh sighting

    Other than that one game, he hasn't been awful. But given how well Hauschka is playing in Buffalo, it's not unrealistic to think we might have two more wins had we found a way to keep him. I understand he had some issues with XPs last year and the Seahawks would have had to cut or restructure...

    Ok....the lateral????

    That's a really good point. You generally can't challenge for "missed penalty", not sure if there'd be something about a completed pass you could challenge on. I assume we'll learn more in the coming days.

    Ok....the lateral????

    Ya if they thought they had even a 50% of winning that challenge, you have to do it given the yards gained on the play, field position, and that it was 3rd down in a 7 point game. I'm sure Pederson will explain why he chose not to challenge; perhaps they just didn't have enough time to analyse...

    Coaching did great tonight.

    In particular, I'll give credit to Bevell since he gets most of the hate (both justified and not). Given the team's strengths and weaknesses, I thought the percentage of run plays felt about right (it's annoying to have to use a pass play to get one yard on 3 tries, but can't say I disagreed...

    Is Russell Wilson the most "talented" QB in the league?

    I tend to agree, but Wilson is reminding me more and more of Rodgers every game.

    Ok....the lateral????

    If you re-wrote the rule to just make it relative to the passer I think that would still be easy enough to enforce, and allowing this sort of play would make the game more fun to watch. I mean apart from the pesky rulebook, that play was awesome.

    Ok....the lateral????

    No one's arguing that, but according to the rules it's also irrelevant.

    Ok....the lateral????

    The NFL appears to have gone out of their way to clarify in the rule that "forward" is relative to the field ("a point that is nearer the opponent’s goal line"), so I'm not sure how you can argue the spirit of the rule is relative to the passer. We can argue about what the rule should be, but...

    Russell Wilson, MVP

    As great as Russ has been so far, this is the first season we can legitimately make a case that he's the best QB in the league, especially with Rodgers missing half the season.

    Is the Defense better without Chancellor and Sherman?

    I suppose with Kam there is at least an argument to be made, although I still think it's a stretch. But there's no way Maxwell - despite mostly playing well enough - was any sort of upgrade on Sherman.

    Ok....the lateral????

    Although I think it's illegal under (a) as well: "the ball initially moves forward (to a point nearer the opponent’s goal line) after leaving the passer’s hand(s)" The ball isn't magically changing directions in mid-air, and the part I bolded seems to clarify that "forward" is relative to the...

    How many of you all still want Pete fired?

    Pete's not perfect, but as long as the team is a playoff contender, I'll easily take him over taking our chances with some random replacement.

    Is the Defense better without Chancellor and Sherman?

    No, just no. But I also don't think their loss automatically takes the Seahawks out of contention.

    Ok....the lateral????

    Ya, I can't imagine anyone watching on TV thought it was a forward pass until the replays showing the markers clearly, since it was a lateral relative to the moving players. But from the rule quoted earlier sounds like that doesn't matter.

    Pete's in trouble

    For me it's a combination of the score and the clock. If there was a minute left on the clock or we were down 21-0, I'm fine with this play. But with both of those not true, this felt like unnecessary risk with very little chance of reward.

    Pete's in trouble

    I generally agree with this sentiment, although to be fair in this case the idea that it really would have ended 34-34 is a little easier to believe: it was at the end of the half - hard to think there'd be momentum differences; I can't really see the teams playing differently or calling...

    Pete's in trouble

    I normally defend coaches doing something unconventional, but a couple of the decisions here were just bad ... That trick play, if there was time left on the clock I'd defend the decision - it didn't work but I could understand taking the chance. But without time left on the clock (well maybe...

    The elephant in the room (Walsh)

    He shouldn't be cut for one bad game after a solid season (plus who do you replace him with?), but given his history I do wonder iif this was just an off-day he bounces back from or the beginning of the end.

    Good pass protection 2 straight weeks

    Even just with perception, my perception was "Russ isn't running for his life every play". I think people can forget just how bad this line has been for the past couple of seasons. Another thing that seemed different: Russ trusted his line and didn't immediately bail from the pocket at the...

    Big shoutout to Blair Walsh

    That's my feeling. When he kicked out of bounds I thought (granted not for the first time this season): "well that's the beginning of the end, time to start looking for a new kicker". Then he was perfect the rest of the game :D
