Game Thread: Seattle at Houston (update: 23-20 SEA, final, OT)

[tshirt]

Eleven months ago, the Texans had arrived as the NFL’s best team. They destroyed the (eventual Super Bowl champ) Baltimore Ravens 43-13, giving the Texans a 6-1 record, and by early December, they would improve to 11-1.

Lynch with a grown man run after catch, there.

I think he's probably the best running back in the league. When he hits beast mode it is over.

Not looking good for the Hawks. Wilson having a horrible game so far. Hope for the best in the 2nd half.

We need a nice, long, backbreaking drive here.

 

[RobToxin]

Looks like Kubes is gonna play for halftime here.

yeah, hopefully little wilson can complete 3 more passes in the second half too.

Russell Wilson tossed 17 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions in home games, compared to 9 scores and 8 picks on the road. The end result is a passer rating that differed by more than 40 (123.6 at home, 83.1 on the road)

Theres no part of this Seattle team that looks good

I like Lynch on our team but I think it's a stretch to call him the best. He's one of the top guys for sure but until further notice, Peterson is still number 1, regardless of the start this year and Foster is as good as anyone in the game. Others are Gore, Charles, McCoy, Murray. Lots of really good RB's in the league and Lynch is just one guy in that group.

Seattle's timeouts at the start of this drive may end up coming back to bite them.

What in the world is Buffalo doing beating Baltimore?

Athlon Sports:

this game is "a matchup of potential Super Bowl participants" ... "a matchup of two teams who could wind up playing each other again down the road, as in Super Bowl XLVIII."

 

[J-Rod]

Nasty collision. Hope Bennett is okay.

 

[Breaker99]

I hate it when it looks like a neck injury..... god speed bennett.

 

[Golden Spur]

FG good -> Hawks better get their A game on quick. 20-3 HOU at the 1/2.

 

[Breaker99]

Seahawks are way over rated. I have been telling them ever since they started announcing themselves best in the NFC to wait till they get through this road game stretch....

But did anyone listen to me?

Noooooooo


Wouldnt surprise me to see Wilson bounce back some in the 2nd half though. how many times have we seen that?

 

[RobToxin]

I am, to be quite honest .... shocked!

 

[Breaker99]

I am not. Seattle is a horrible road team. Remember Carolina was in game 1 right till the end....

I was expecting this. I bet they play a lot better in the 2nd half though. They like to do that and make it close in the end and talk about how amazing Wilson was in the loss.

 

[RobToxin]

I am more shocked at how good Houston is playing.

You have to realize just how close this team was to being 0-3 before today. Needed two miracle comebacks in their only two wins.

 

[BloodType49]

Seattle is poised to start one of their miracle 2nd half come backs, I have this feeling, I hope im wrong though.
