Beastmode done in Seattle?

[Dolemite censored]

Its amazing how quickly the game (and so-called fans) can discard you.

While Rawls' performance was impressive indeed, let's not forget that it was against the dumpster fire known as the 49ers...

He wont be playing the 49ers every week...

What about the Bengals, could he play them every week? He was pretty good against them too

Yeah he had the one big run which inflated his stats in that game...the kid is good there is no denying, but we lost Glen Dorsey on the first series and he is a huge part of our run defense. The 49ers just couldn't seem to tackle to save their lives. I would just wait until crowning him the next"Beast Mode".

So is this a done deal yet or what?

Problem with banking on the BU RB is when the BU becomes the starter his stats are nowhere near what the fans hope for.

He had 100 yds without that run in CIN. Im not crowning him, but I see a very good back and I'm actually confident in the run game with him getting most of the carries going forward. You're right, SFs defense was awful. But until more opponent running backs put up franchise type marks against them, I wouldn't give their ineptitude too much credit.

My favourite Seahawk.

Last year I was talking with a friend and said I was amazed Lynch has played relatively injury free and that time would catch up.

These bruising backs seem to have a shelf life that manifests itself suddenly. Marion Barber, Jamal Lewis, Green-Ellis, etc. Burn brightly like magnesium then turn to ash..

Lynch has lasted longer than most. If it is the end he had a great run.

Dying breed being replaced with rb by committee. Not even splitting carries stretches many careers that could compare to those few resilient rbs like Lynch.

he had a nice career.

Yep Lynch has 9,000+ rushing yards in his pro career, that ain't too shabby!!!

Just wait until the Hawks improve their O-line, Rawls will even look better.

Bettis played a long time.

A Jim Brown today wouldn't last as long as he did or retire in as good condition as he did.

This is where fans are more loyal to the name on the front of the jersey than on the back. The Broncos have went through this with a couple of legends. Heck going through it with Manning right now as most fans are just ready to say he is done for the year. When your play or lack of play starts hurting the team that player just is not bigger than the team. Respect what they did for you but then you move on.

Great news for my Fantasy team... I have Rawls as backup RB. No I did not play him yesterday

I did. Hot damn, got me 36 points.

 

[Texas Jefe]

It wasn't just the running style of Lynch that I liked.

I loved his complete disdain for the press.

Rawls may run n a similar fashion but he won't have the character of Lynch.

Agreed. Like the way he runs, smashes defenders' arms out of the way with a vengeance.

Laughed when people were upset that he wouldnt talk to the press: "But, but, I cant do my job! Doesnt he know the fans pay his salary, and.." Yeah, like fans want to hear him answer one inane moronic question, over and over? Lol.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Lynch is an absolute beast. Hope he's not done, he's had a great career. Yes, he's torn us up for years, but the game won't be the same without him.

 

[FORKWDEVIL]

Now he can own his own "beastmode" clothing line and be the spokesman for skittles.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

If this is truly the end, he had a great career and gave 115% for our squad every game. I'll say this, if he gets surgery and wants to play one more year, I say sign me up for it cause a combo of Rawls/Lynch splitting carries with hopefully an improved o-line would make for a nice power/speed running game.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

He really did ... He's been a lot of fun to watch ... I get the feeling this could be it...
