pretty sure the Seahawks are done. the list of key injured players is stunning & most won't be able to return or if they do are greatly diminished. it was a nice run this year & at least we'll get a playoff game. we're down to #4 on the depth chart for running back. there's even people clamoring to bring beastmode back. i doubt he is in good enough shape to play in the nfl at his age. starting left tackle & leader of o line having knee surgery today. starting cornerback may be back but has hamstring issue. starting safety doubtful. & even if jadveon clowney can make it back, he's looking at surgery right after the season. there's even more i haven't mentioned. it's real ugly. i don't make excuses for injuries & yesterday's loss was in the cards before guys started dropping. will be tough to beat SF in current state. maybe they will surprise us as SF has a lot of injuries, too. not holding my breath though. GO HAWKS (if you can)!

Injuries aren't excuses, they are facts: 7-9 Seahawks beat the Saints in the 2011 playoffs because of that very reason. A team is only as good as its players - and if they're out because of injury - that team isn't that good team anymore no matter what.

if you read my post, i wasn't making excuses & stated the facts as far as personnel goes. always so angry. it's like if the aints played a bit more competently maybe the occasional bad call by officials (not like every team doesn't get them) it wouldn't be the end of the world. sorry 'roid rage. i dislike the internet.

I just won my fantasy football league because of Jones, and now my favorite running back ever Marshawn Lynch is returning to the NFL. I know its cliched but... Christmas has come early for me!
Not positive this is the right call but I guess its just for this playoff season anyway so it certainly can't hurt. Just wouldn't even be sure he's still THAT good anymore. Either way, I'll be dusting off my Lynch jersey. Give him the super bowl win he deserved 5 years ago.
Oh, he's definitely kinda an @#$%& (I'd argue a dimwitted one, but either way, not really a role model) but I have a soft spot for him just because he was one of the first players that piqued my interested when I started getting into football. My concern about his playing is just cause he wasn't that great when he retired and came back the first time.Quote

He's definitely good but he was a punk in Buffalo when we booted him.

LOL! I wasn't angry! Just merely pointing out that as a fan, there is no need to say 'I'm not going to blame injury for losing this game', which I highlighted above, even though you provide some word saying they were starting to tank before the game, when it is a fact that it impacts a team performance no matter what a fan thinks.
Hence my bit about the 7-9 Seahawks beating a heavily depleted Saints team - it's a fact that the Saints sucked because they lost a lot of players for the 2011 playoffs.

actually Marshawn is really smart but he hides it with the street thing much like gary payton back in the day. Marshawn hasn't touched the money he's made in salary from the NFL & has invested well. lives off the earnings & endorsements etc. he actually advises young players about how to be smart with their money. when he left seattle there was trouble that i think stemmed from the super bowl loss. he was a favorite of paul allen though. when he retired, the hawks could've recouped some signing bonus but paul allen told management to let it go. recently, he has been dropping in on the team mending fences. him & earl thomas are my all time favorite seahawks. glad to have him back. evidently he has kept in good shape & has been training in secret to be in game shape. GO HAWKS!

no doubt he is still in shape but that doesn't make someone ready to play an nfl game after being signed to a team for one week after not playing for pretty much a full year

And my Packers take the North after thumping the Vikes with Aaron Jones and defense. Now they need to beat the Lions and then we become Seahawks' fans for Sunday evening. The North is not enough indeed.

Antonio Brown working out with the Saints...he could make an already dangerous team lethal.
The Pats should have brought him back.
