Getting to be time for some Football?

Don't know about you but with the exception of Lynch I thought Seattle looked very shaky on offense. Their QB looked beside himself most of the game. Had RG3 been able to play at 100%, I don't think it would have been even close. I don't make them the favorite at San Francisco. Not after what I saw today. Guess we'll see.

No way, it was a factor but Seattle completely dominated that game after the first quarter. RG wasn't the reason they lost in DC.

Atlanta's gonna be tough though!

Fearless Predictions:

Denver over the Ravens
Packers over the 49ers
Patriots over the Texans
Atlanta over the Seahawks

I would think that if they had completely dominated them, they would have a few more points to show for it. I missed about half the game. In what I did see of it, they didn't look like the machine I thought they were.

Hard for me to argue with those. I'm a little worried about the Packers over the Niner's, tho, except that GB has a very good veteran quarterback.

The Packers have developed a running game of late and while their Defense gives up yards, they don't give up too many points. Aaron is the best in the game right now....It will be a fun game to watch.

I watched the whole thing. Go look at all the stats, watch the highlights, it was a not a high scoring game, but a very dominating performance by the Seahawks, especially coming from a 0-14 deficit.

Wilson just does not get rattled, he's like a T-1000, and the rest of the team is playing like a well oiled machine. Even if they lose to Atlanta, it will have been a brilliant season.

Yikes! I was rooting for Seattle but it was sad watching RG3 hobbling around on one leg. It's surprising they didn't pull him after the first quarter. He played bravely and I hope his knee isn't seriously injured. I was also rooting for Indy and was disappointed they couldn't pull it off. Wilson deserves to be mentioned in the top three rookie qb discussions. He's a rare talent and I can't believe they put him in a potentially career ending position, playing on one leg.

As far as predictions:

Seattle
San Fran
Denver
New England

Someone who was there with us watching the game said that if they keep pushing Griffin that hard he will have a very short NFL career.

jackman · « **Reply #490 on:** 7 Jan 2013, 02:35 am »

Read the article from the doctor in the USA Today who says he never would have released him to play after the Ravens game. That knee looked bad. It buckled badly and he was only going for a ball, there was no contact. He's a brave young man and I hope it's not serious. IMO, he is one of the best young QBs I have ever seen. It would be a shame to see his career cut short because of an injury.

He's a heck of a player. Darned shame.

The likes of RGIII only comes around every so often. I too don't get risking him just to win a game.

Me, three, and I bet Shanahan catches some flak for it tomorrow. He should, imo.

Out of the three star rookies, Wilson is the only one standing.He deserves a LOT of respect, especially when all the pundits called us idiots for taking him and idiots for starting him.

Look at his numbers, he's already historic.

RGIII's knee injury aside, the Seahawks have been a force of nature. You can't say the Redskins would have won.

Agreed!

The Skin's made it further than most all of the "experts" thought they would. I think the NFC East was to be a fight between the Giants and Cowboys? Shanahan should have been greatful for where they were and sat RGIII! His team is poised to do some good things over the next few years, and with a healthy RGIII great things could abound!
Hopefully Robert can do an Adrian Peterson when he returns.

Just so you know, brother Clark, I'm lovin what the Seahawks are doing and would love to attend a game in your city. I just hated the game but not because of what the Seahawks did or didn't do. I'll be pulling for them bigtime next week.
