It's weird that our defense was the side of the ball to actually let us down in the end.
Also, the blocking was pretty bad. We couldn't block for Lynch to save our lives.

I have no problem with going for it on 4th and 1. We were moving the ball extremely well to this point. I don't have any issue's with the play call, but IF I was calling the plays, I would have put it in my best players hands. Either beast mode or a run/ pass option with Wilson. Bottom line, the play wasn't blocked correctly. Everyone is supposed to down block leaving the outside man free, but Breno and Miller blocked the guy across their faces leaving a huge hole in the middle for the safety to make a play. If they give that to Beast mode, Rob picks the safety up and the play most likely works.

Zach Miller is incredible. These last few weeks was finally his Seahawks coming-out party. He's so ****ing good, and needs to be a massive part of the offense next season.
Jason Collins claims he is the first openly gay NBA player despite the fact we witnessed the entire league bend the Lakers over all season.
Oh yeah. He'll be big.

Going for the FG at that time would of been dumb Matt Ryan was taken advantage of Chancellor and Trufant up and down the field i would of done the same thing.
Didn't really like the play calling though on 3rd and 1 we try to run it up the middle failed then 4th and 1 we run the FB how about some creativity with your mobile QB i don't know a Play Action Pass?
I read a article where they made a great point where most teams do this and its very bland and easy for a Defense to just stuff by crowding the line of scrimmage even if your going to run it up the middle spread the D out.

Russell Wilson ROY food for thought...
Last 8 games of regular season (second half): 120.3 QB Rating
Last 11 games of regular season (arguably when he started to turn a corner): 111.6 QBRat
Last 11 of reg season, plus playoffs: 109.8 QBRat
Playoffs: 102.4 QBRat
I hate the argument that you have to look at the whole season... these are rookies, so these guys are learning how to play in the NFL... its a learning process, so the beginning of the season should be more forgivable, and honestly even looked past. Heck, some rookies don't even get to play in the beginning. Not to say that full season stats don't matter, but if a guy improves significantly as the season goes on, I think its slightly more important than the full season. Given that Wilson and RG3 were quite similar in terms fo full season stats, I think the improving nature of Wilson's season should be the deciding factor in him getting the ROY.

That is actually amazing. I just watched that interview with Jason Taylor saying that the injections to the bottom of his foot were some of the most painful things he ever endured, and Miller came out after going through that and played like a monster. This game was a coming out party for him on national TV just as much as it was for Wilson. Hopefully they will be a great tandem for years to come.
I'm in favor of liberalized immigration because of the effect it would have on restaurants. I'd let everybody in except the English.
