It's pretty rare that he fumbles. But, every single time he does, he comes back pi**ed off, and tears it up. Every time. As soon as he fumbled, you just knew he'd take it to the next level the rest of the game.

I get the feeling if Beast gets a ring, he will melt it down into a championship grill.

I wish our line wasnt terrible, Lynch deserves it. He would be unstoppable if half his yards werent forced to come after contact

Make no mistake, Lynch and Russ carried this team offensively. Baldwin gets an honorable mention for his Larry Fitzgerald impersonation.

Lynch was in full on Beast Mode, no doubt about it.

I'm not sure which game some of you were watching but Turbin did just fine with what he was given. Trashing the dude because he's not breaking 8 yrd runs every time he touches the ball.. Beast mode is called that for a reason, not all backs are going to be that hard to take down.

I'm not a turbin guy by any means but the trashing he gets on this board sometimes is unwarrented.

There's a lot of slippery backs out there that put up numbers, Foster fits that mold. But there's not a running back in the league that delivers more punishment per yard than TWO FOUR. Why is it the Hawks win tough games in the 4th quarter and OT? Well there's several reasons with this team, #3 not withstanding.... but the collective clobbering that the Beast relentlessly delivers for 60 minutes takes it's toll on an entire defense.

That run late in the Houston game when Beast thumped, drug, mauled and carried I don't know how many Texans players for yards down the field without going down and then emerges out of the pile and HULKS UP was freaking AAWWWESSSSOOOMMMEEE!!!! Sent chills down my spine.

We are going to be crying every week when Lynch is done in Seattle. I know Michael is going to be good, but Lynch has downright spoiled us. It might take a while for our running game to recover because Lynch does so many things that other backs cannot physically do at the same level.

I think we'll be crying post-Lynch also. On the plays that are blocked well, a faster, more explosive back may actually perform a bit better (that's a big maybe, I mean Lynch with a head of steam is going to destroy the first safety/corner who tries to tackle him). But with Lynch, even when the plays aren't blocked hardly at all, your drive is not dead because he's at least back to the LOS and probably has gained 2 yards. That is the single biggest thing I love about the guy, the fact that when he gets the ball you know it's not going to be a negative play no matter what. The D could bring a firing squad out to the field to shoot him at the handoff and he'd still get to the LOS.

We got him from the Bills for a 4th and a 5th rounder. Booyah.

Already my favorite Seahawks running back of all-time. He may be my favorite football player of all time when this thing is over.

That's just about where I'm at as well.

I have to agree. Lynch is a top 3 back. He's an extremely tough act to follow, and I think that can sometimes makes people think Turbin looks worse than he actually is.

Don't underestimate the LUXURY we have with two bruisers in the backfield. To have Turbin to throw in there is absolutely invaluable... He keeps the Beast fresh! Then, when Christine Michael gets up to speed, we'll have a THREE headed monster! We are so stacked at RB it's just not fair...

I cant compare Lynch with any back in the league. The Beast is unique. His legs just never stop.
