NFC Divisional Round Game Thread: Seahawks at Panthers

[BigSoxFan]

Marciano is the Russell Wilson of bettors

 

[Al Zarilla]

It is. I mean in the post game analysis. I want Pete to eat it for not kicking the FG when he had a chance.

Well, if he got off the hook for not running Lynch from the one yard line, he's all teflon .

Edit, but I've been rooting the same way.

WBV - If the Steelers lose by fewer than 16, this is going in our great moments in gambling thread.

Carolina playing living on a prayer?

 

[staz]

That camera angle makes the kick look much longer and tighter than it really is.

 

[Kliq]

Thanks Cam for laying a donut in the second half.

Seattle looking for another miracle onside kick recovery

 

[johnmd20]

Hey Marciano, good twease.

 

[canderson]

Comes down to an onsides kick.

Why do teams always kick it on the ground and not pop it up like Alabaha did? On the ground, bouncing, you have an unrealistic shot at recovery.

Im also not having sex with Ciara for whatever that's worth.

Good hands by Davis.

Legion of Gloom

 

[Kliq]

Excellent recover by Davis.

 

[mauidano]

Game. Congrats Panthers. Let's go Steelers.

God says no.

I think you can fair catch if it doesn't bounce.

 

[staz]

This is where Seattle brawls

 

[rembrat]

So good, so good.

I think because it's more difficult to be accurate. With the bounce kick you can get some crazy caroms that just may go in your favor.

 

[bigsid05]

Better game than expected after the first 5 minutes. If they Seahawks do anything right in the first half they probably win.

Now Sweet Caroline.....poseurs.

 

[pokey_reese]

What a ridiculous game.

 

[ragnarok725]

Indeed.

Although, Cam certainly encouraged it with tip-toeing back before taking a knee.

 

[SumnerH]

The popup kick bounces once just after the kick.

 

[mauidano]

WTF on the refs holding the ball?

 

[crossdog]

smart move by Cam backing out of the kneel down. Sea going for a broken neck.

 

[staz]

Wild Card Weekend winners: 0-3

 

[Marciano490]

Gotta say, as bad as the rules and the product and the bureaucracy can be, the NFL has had some entertaining games so far this weekend.

 

[pokey_reese]

Seahawks just keep sliding back from the SB win

 

[Harry Hooper]

You don't see a "hands" linebacker out there very often for an on-sides kickoff.

 

[mauidano]

Cheering for the Steelers is the lesser of two evils and still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

If you kick it in the air, can't the receiving team call for a fair catch?

Half-expected the Seahawks to leave the bench area for the tunnel, Pistons-style

 

[scotian1]

Poor clock management by Seattle in the second half was not helpful to their cause. Guess we Patriot fans are just spoiled by the game management Jedi Master.

 

[trekfan55]

I also think that reaching the SB is hard.

Seattle is a very good team, as much as I hate Pete Carroll for some reason, I have to admit they are, and could have very easily reached a 3rd straight SB.

AKA KG and Rondo style circa 2012. Loved it then.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Great job by Seattle coming out and fighting in the second half---speaks well of the team.

I'd like to see a kicker try a line drive right at the front line of blockers, hoping for the ball to ricochet off them right to your guys. It might actually work because they're never looking at the ball.

I actually saw that work in a high school game about 40 years ago. East Longmeadow HS at Minnechaug Regional HS.
