I know its only 1 game but it sure looks like the road to the Super Bowl is running through Seattle again. After a quarter of shaking the rust off, it was total domination against supposedly 1 of the better teams in the NFL. 2 weeks from Sunday I get to witness first hand. Can't wait!><

the packers are one of the better offensive teams but their defense seems about middle of the pack, no pun intended, which isn't good if seattle has to face top defensive teams this year. i only saw the first 1/2 but russell wilson becomes a huge liabilty when he has to throw a pass more then 7 yards or so. i remember 3 passes in the first 1/2, 2 dropped interceptions by the packers and seattle TE zach miller hauling in an overthrown pass by his fingertips. those are the only 3 passes i remember wilson throwing that were more then 7 yards. the rest were dink-dunk 3-4 yard passes with big after reception gains by the receivers. thats why i said wilson reminds me of the new chad pennington. throw short easy passes, every once in awhile try a long one to keep the defense honest, rest of the time hand it off to the RB. pennington had curtis martin, wilson has lynch.

Things got more interesting from Seattle perspective in the 2nd half. Wilson threw a really nice 33 yard TD pass. Lynch sure doesn't look like he's slowing down & Harvin is a wonder. We're not even talking about the D. The Packers threw at Richard Sherman 1 time & that was nullified by an offensive penalty. Byron Maxwell on the other side is looking like an all pro in the future. It's going to be a good year!
PS: enjoying the banter with you keithriffhard4life!

jets defensive line allowed just 25 rushing yards. jets offense had over 200 rushing and passing yards. geno looked a bit shakey at first but so did almost every QB in the league. he was effective though

the steelers get away with too much. last year tomlin not flagged for being on the field and in the way of a sideline judge during a live ball. this year no flag for accidently drop kicking someone in the head. come on

I hope Goodell gets FIRED. The pink the players wear for all the games in October is now a huge joke considering Goodell's ...mentality, which is about a grain of sand above a broken brick.

Even though it should, unless they have more on him than what is out now its not going to happen. It's all about the benjamins. The NFL has become even more of a money machine than it was before since he's been running it. Its typical of the corporate arrogance that is in the process of sending the US the way of the British Empire. Sorry for the rant. I luv the game of football but it is big business now on all levels, college or pro or even before that. As I've said before, greed uber alles. The only way the NFL could change is if they took away their anti-trust exemption. Not going to happen in the current environment. I do agree with you, he should be gone. Anyone remember the original "Rollerball" with James Caan? We're there whether we care to admit or not.

the steelers have had one of the biggest free falls i've ever seen in the nfl in a span of just 2 games. they were up 27-3 against the browns at 1/2 time last week. since 1/2 time last week the steelers have been outscored 50-9

I've seen a lot of dumb calls go against them too. Some good clean hits by Steelers that were called penalties over the years.
I still don't understand the rules. They seem to change every week. You can't hit helmet to helmet? You can't lead with your helmet? You can't hit a defenseless receiver? You can't lead with your shoulder pads? It seems like the rules are constantly changing. Pretty soon players will have to knock a player over with one finger in order to avoid a penalty.
