[DanoooME]

The discussion is over.  Let's play the game!
 
Go Hawks!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Where did Erin Andrews park her horse?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

OK GUYS, WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE PRACTICE BUBBLE AND HAVE YOU WALK REALLY SLOWLY TOWARD THIS AERIAL CAMERA.
 
THEN YOU WILL SIT IN LARGE NEON GREEN CHAIRS.
 
These production cut-scenes must be a trip.

All that still isn't as bad as these interview questions. Banal doesn't begin to cover this.

Fuck yes.  
 
Lets get this game going.  I'm about to lose my fucking mind 

 

[johnmd20]

Ha Ha Clinton Dix would be a great porn name.

 

[DJnVa]

Heavy rain, bad footing, that's going to be even tougher for Rodgers with that injury.

 

[Stitch01]

NFL threatened to eject Lynch if he wears his awesome cleats

 

[bankshot1]

Just put on Fox to see a bunch of S'Hawks dancing-- is it now sunny in Seattle?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I hope Lynch calls the NFL's bluff, fuck them.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I hope Lynch calls the NFL's bluff, fuck them.

They probably won't eject him they'll just not let him check into the game until he changes cleats.

 

[E5 Yaz]

If he were to do that against the Patriots, 103% of the posters on this board would want him tossed

Has something like that ever happened before with regards to uniforms?

Gold is heavier than lead. Let him wear them.  :buddy:

I don't think so, E5.  I would shed zero tears if he got booted against the Pats because it would improve their chances of winning, don't get me wrong.  But I don't think people would be imploring the league to eject him because his shoes were the wrong color.

Fines are common for uniform discrepancies but holding someone out of a game would be president setting unless I'm missing something's

Your reluctance is why I said 103% instead of 104%

You have outmaneuvered me yet again.
 
I would support an ejection for any more shameful nut-grabs; it's an insult to the game.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

What are these assholes chanting?

 

[wibi]

Buddy at the game just texted that the Clink is rocking and rain is falling

 

[Cellar-Door]

Usually fines. But here is the rule. http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/rulebook/pdfs/8_Rule5_Players_Subs_Equip_GeneralRules.pdf
I'd guess Lynch has custom made cleats which aren't league approved. Small difference from approved cleats in the wrong color.

 

[wibi]

What are these assholes chanting?

The name of the game winner

 

[CaptainLaddie]

As per usual, awesome atmopshere up there.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

The name of the game winner

Wait, they're just chanting "SEA-HAWKS!" over the national anthem?

 

[loshjott]

Not sure we need a first person account for that news.

 

[wibi]

Tradition goes they chant until the anthem starts and then stop until the last stanza

 

[WayBackVazquez]

Whether or not it has happened, it is expressly contemplated in Rule 5, Section 4, article 9 of the rules. (Can't paste right now.)

They've certainly fined guys before, but I can't recall an ejection for a breach of the uniform rules.

 

[Phragle]

Anyone know how I can listen to this on my phone or car radio?

 

[WayBackVazquez]

They've certainly fined guys before, but I can't recall an ejection for a breach of the uniform rules.

Ejection is for a repeat violation or wil full violation after being told to change. So if they keep him out, he changes to play, and then Returns wearing the gold, he can be ejected. And if they tell him on the sidelines, but he comes in anyway.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

So free copy of Windows 95 if Seattle wins?

 

[CaptainLaddie]

I see.  Well, here we go.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

I know this is ridiculous but I feel like I'll know whether the Pack can win after Rodgers' first series. if he's gimpy, they're toast.

 

[wibi]

Not sure we need a first person account for that news.

Says its louder now then anytime last week versus CAR

 

[wibi]

fucking fuck fuck.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Rodgers has pretty unorthodox mechanics.

@BobbyBigWheel
 Really admire the Seattle crowd for being this drunk by noon

 

[Sportsbstn]

nice play call

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Great play call.

 

[jsinger121]

Big hole for Lacy

 

[Mystic Merlin]

GB loves to run out of the pistol in a number of personnel groupings.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Well?

 

[wibi]

Gotta get a stop here guys

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Hurry up, silent snap count forces two quick penalties on the Seattle defense.  Good game plan early on by GB.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

That rusher bit hard on the PA. 

 

[Sportsbstn]

bad pass, good catch.  better pass he gets more yards

 

[Deathofthebambino]

OPI?

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

Lot of yellow early in this game. 

 

[jsinger121]

Seattle getting carved up so far.
