2014 NFL Season

ehhh...  it was just a great play by the defender..  that would have been a touchdown unless the defender didn't make a great play.. which could have happened no matter what the Seahawks called.

I don't think time will treat the decision as harshly as some think... it wasn't Ernest Byner or crap like that..it was a good throw..  it was a touchdown .. if not for a great play by the defender.. same could have happened in the run. About as much chance to fumble as throwing a pick.



that said..  the aftermath has been as much fun as the game.  Conspricy theories...Wilson throwing the winner over Lynch running it in.. tieing into .. what some consider  the ultimate display of Pete Caroll's ego and arrogance that it would he HIS player.. that would win the game.  Good times...

Can try to justify it all we want but seriously...be realistic, what on Earth were they thinking?

Listen to what Butler said right after the game.....He saw the play coming, he read it in Wilson's eyes. He saw the stack and knew it was a pick play, he played it perfectly, sat back and did not bite on the first receiver but focused on the stacked receiver. Sure it was a great defensive play and he stole the ball from Lockette......Spin it how you want, a pass play on the 1 yard line by the Seahawks was a horrible call, period.

^yes they will

Plain and simple, it was hubris that called that play. Considering they want to pay Lynch even more money and keep him for the long haul, that would've been the perfect time to let him prove his worth and for the team to prove their faith in his ability. But they got cocky and wanted to end it with a flash, and it bit them in the ass.

But for me, since I had no dog in that fight, I got a great finish either way that could've gone. I got home just in time to see the last 2 minutes of the first half, luckily missing the boring first part of it. Boy, what a game, especially after last year's utter snoozefest that was over on the first play of the game.

Fair enough. But you've got to at least try to punch it in first. And it was a killer heads up play by the DB.

I'm SO happy about the Lions first round of the draft.  Through a trade that got Detroit the 28th overall pick, a couple of additional picks and Manny Ramirez from Denver, they drafted Laken Tomlinson from Duke, so the O line is automatically much better than last year. 

Yeah, I really don't know anything about the players, so I'm just going off position and opinions of others.

I approve. Reese has since gone off the rails and taken Mykkele Thompson a Safety/Cornerback from Texas. Not that I have an issue with that pick but "Admittedly, we did not scout Mykkele Thompson. Never even once considered him an option."     "Mykkele Thompson did not expect to get drafted. The only team he even met with? The New York Giants" From the Giants 101 page it seems literally no one expected this, and no one, apparently he himself, expected him to be drafted. Quick scouting reports I've found have been, no one really knows.  Seems like a reach, if they really like this guy, why not take him with the last pick? Seems like no one else was gunna draft him, and if by some chance they did, I don't think the loss would be killer heh  but we shall see. If he works out, brilliant move for Reese.

Tom Brady suspended for 4 games this year.

Worst part about it...they play the Cowboys in week 4!
