I think that elway believes that Lynch is just as good as kap. Similar style of qb. Simien actually looked good at times last year when the o line performed. We've invested in the o line this year so fully expect us to be better. Lynch is injured hence the signing of osweiler. He will get cut when lynch is up to speed. He's being paid the league minimum so very cheap.Quote:

Ok Seahawks, how do you think Sunday will go?
I have noticed a lot of people wearing NFL gear at ER the last few seasons. Maybe time to break out my Rodgers one.
Another classic, they usually are. It will go down to the final drive, I'll say Packers by 3. And it will be the rehearsal for the Nfl championship game.Quote:

I wore a Chargers powder blue jersey with LA Galaxy 5 on it to the last Galaxy game at the Stubhub. No disrespect to Cardel Jones but they are first to five MLS Cups. Melvyn Gordon signed my 28 shirt and Nigel Harris knocked a wee dram back the other night with us. He looks promising and made the 53 as an undrafted.Quote:

Can the Pats go the season undefeated......That'll be a no 👀
5 times we've won it without going undefeated so that's not the biggest concern...Quote:

More to the point Lugz has Gillislee and Hunt in his team...on the bench 😳Quote:

Well, if you're going to get pumped at home at some point in the season, I suppose Game 1 is the time to do it.
Problems all over the field, that, left unaddressed, will see us struggle a lot more than anyone expected. At the same time, it's probably not a bad thing, because I was getting a little fed up with some of the crowing on social media about us going undefeated!
Even without Ware, Kansas look a very good unit, though our defense would have made anyone look good last night. Onto the next!
Alex Smith... Never really considered as a 'top' QB, kind of solid dependable bland performer usually but he's been around for a while and looked excellent from the highlights.
His highlights would look good from last night but he was 'meh' overall, especially in the first half.Quote:

Block on the back was the penalty and a Seahawk was ejected for an alleged punch.Quote:

Beasleys catch... Un****ingreal
Decent win for the Packers last night. A tough one though, I hope that Seahawks D-Line is good and not our O-Line is that bad lol. I was fearing Lacy last night but I there was that feeling he would be shut down.
Same old problem for us, our O Line can't protect the QB or create running lanes. It's never been fixed for years.Quote:

Felt a little for the Seahawks last night - Lane should never have been ejected - he pushed Adams' with two hands after he'd had his neck yanked following a face-mask that went unseen.
But thank you Jordy Nelson! I won my fantasy match with his TD! :thumbsup:
David Johnson has a dislocated wrist ouch! Tricky injury to have.

Broncos game was good. Really impressed with Simien.
Saints were so so poor.
I actually want Sean Payton to go now. 3 years of utter dross wasting one of the all time greats end of career.
That Memphis v UCLA game was a lot of fun to watch. Hopefully Tennessee v Florida will be as good.
Why is the patriots saints game at 1 when I'm at work?!
Looking forward to Sean Payton and Peterson going at it. Seconds out round 2 🥊

Pleased we dug that out. Much more convincing after what was an awful opener.
The whiners are putting up a fight at c link, 6-6 at the half. Shocking face mask call on Richard Sherman puts them in range.
Edit...a horrible 12-9 home win over one of the worst teams in the league. The hawks offense is a mess.
We looked terrible again this week.
Not got too much hope for next week at carolina. looks like 0-3 going into wembley.
We need to stop abandoning the run for starters. The Defence needs help as there gassed by the 4th quarterQuote:

I've also no idea how my fantasy team is 2-0. Greg Olsen/Jordy Nelson both left their games injured early doors (Olsen out for 8 weeks...:rolleyes:) and contributed to 1 point. The only players who gave me decent numbers (>7) were Brady, Freeman, Dan Bailey and the Cardinals DEF!
Having AP and not using him is really starting to annoy me. Just hand him the ball 20 times a game and see what happens. When we only run him 5-6 times a game we are basically sign posting that every time hes in is a run up the middle.Quote:

Yeah you watched AP for the Vikings they wore defences down with him and his big runs and PA would come because of that. There is no way you will get the most out of him with those numbers.Quote:

Hoping the semi is on the Saturday and maybe head down to London on the Sunday morning instead.
I was really impressed with the Broncos this week, in particular I think Simien is pretty underrated. Our D was amazing and totally shut down Dallas' run game.
Todd Gurley is having a good game. 3 first half TDs.
Who has him in their fantasy team?
You do :greengrinQuote:

I've only caught brief highlights but Goff looks so much more composed this year.
Granted he had a horrible INT last week but seems a lot more poised.
I was just about to come on and say the same for our league, until I checked the app on my phone and realised that he's in the team that is up against me.... Looks like another loss this week for me then!Quote:

Agree it's not a matchup that looked great on paper. I can't decide what to make of Goff. Makes some great throws but makes weird decisions sometimes. He looks better than Russel Wilson at this point in the season though:rolleyes:Quote:

I agree that we should keep politics off here, but it's hard when it's so obviously part of the story. I agree with pretty boy that Trump is using it as a diversion from how he's failing as president. And it just confirms what I've been thinking, that things that were unacceptable a few years ago are now considered acceptable, like putting limits on the supposedly 'inalienable' rights of free speech and freedom of expression! The league and the players union have responded exactly right in telling him to gtf, and I'm proud of the Seahawks' statements which talk about supporting the players 'battle for equality' in society.
The Seahawks social media feeds are full of posts demanding Michael Bennett is fired from the team, people saying they're not going back to clink until players 'respect the flag and the military':confused: this is the majority of posts. Even assuming most of them are trolls, it's still weird.
Back to the game, lions at falcons and patriots at texans look like good matches tonight, in the early game Jags at Ravens will be a defensive battle, under 20pts is a good bet.
Wtf Ravens :Ummm:
Dolphons released a similar statement. Response was 'fans' are off to support the Cowboys and want Kenny Stills (a great community worker and a fine footballer) fired.Quote:
