My 10-year-old Daughter has become a huge Seahawks Fan. So much, that she broke down after the incredible Seahawks playoff comeback in ATL, only to see them lose on a last-second FG.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
WHY did Pete Carroll ask for a timeout when the kicker had already done his thing?
I'm no head coach in the NFL, but you NEVER give a kicker a second chance.
Stupid, and dangerous. Kickers "adjust" after an icing. And the Seahawks paid dearly.
as a Niners fan, i was torn on this game... i found myself tooting for both teams! the outcome ended up being what i first wanted.. Go NINERS!
As a Falcon fan, tell her the pain will ease.
The Falcons broke my heart by blowing a lead in a playoff game against the Cowboys in 1981.
Today made up for it so tell her it only hurts for 31 years. :)
I've seen it done to Bryant at least four times. And every time he is "iced", he goes through with his practice kick....even if the opposing team calls it much earlier than Seattle did today.
Really irks the other team when he does it....but so does being "iced".
When will they quit doing that?
It never seems to work and left Seattle with no time outs to get within field goal range. (But then again...Mike Smith should have waited until the clock ran to 3 seconds before calling HIS time out)
Stick w/your choices, cherry. You chose well.
That’s how I felt when I was 10 and I saw the refs steal the ‘84 OU-Texas game from the Sooners with several horrible calls; the ‘Horns managed a tie with a last second field goal.
LOLOL! A few ATL-area pings.
I know...right. Watching Ryan play qb is like watching paint dry....

It was real boring watching Ryan outduel Both Mannings...Brees...Romo..RG3...Vick...Stafford...Cam..and Rivers this season.
Boring as people use to say Joe Montana was.
Ha! Nicely done.
Have you seen the QB Facebook conversations that someone has been ginning up this year? A little long, but pretty funny.

I’m sure they’ll be putting up a new on after this weekend. Language warning.
It’s what I do. :^)
The same people that say Ryan and Bama are boring...are just like the same folks who say a 2-1 pitchers duel in baseball is boring.
LOL
I hope Wilson gets Rookie of the Year. He deserves it. He didn’t come into the league as the next great franchise player. Luck and RG3 did. Wilson won the starting job the old fashioned way, on the field. He set all kinds of records this year for a rookie.
Remember that Seattle brought in Matt Flynn thinking he would be the starter.
Just tell her that things could be worse, she could be a Lions fan, like me.
Keep in mind that Matt Ryan was only a missed field goal away from pulling another "Matt Ryan" (great regular season, lose first round of the playoffs). We'll see how he does against a team that stomped on Aaron Rodgers and the Pack, a team that HAS won the Super Bowl.
Their last one was in 1994, when most of their current players were still in elementary school.
Watching the game officials weaving a protective cocoon around Tom Brady?
I was talking about the Packers.
