I always lean towards letting it play out and then go review it. But that was pretty obvious. In other, much closer situations, the refs seems to blow the whistle to rule the play dead when their is way less certainty. So inconsistent.Deathofthebambino said:
What was that? Have all the receivers run to the same spot 25 yards downfield on the sideline? A mini Hail Mary? It just draws all the DBs to one area.
Granted, this is a game where Romo being healthy pretty clearly would have made the difference. And the Cows got hosed on the call at the end of the first half, which certainly could have mattered points-wise.
But the quality of execution is pretty bad too.

Even a broken watch is right twice a day?
But ya, they made a good call, which of course Dallas botched further.
That win by Seattle does not make them a good team. It's possible they can get better but Hawk fans should be, at least, a little concerned.
I edited and added the Chiefs. But they played the Lions, so they really don't count.ipol said:
Rams maybe?bankshot1 said:
SF is garbage, but STL D is really really good, and their run game looks legit.
How about Hardy INSANE on the bench jawing at Jeremy Mincey??? I get "fired up," but that was disturbing, if not all that surprising.
Man, Seahawks might not be very good at all, given the amount of trouble they had with this wounded Dallas team. Then again, the Jets...
I hope that when Manning sucks tonight, Collinsworth calls it out, rather than covering for him.

I do too. I just think it's far more likely that, after Manning floats a 5 yard out completion that takes all his might, Collinsworth screams, "You think this guy is done?!?!?"

Or perhaps "What a great read from Peyton---the receiver must have misread the defense there and so he was out of position"
Hey, Katherine Tappen sighting! She actually seemed fairly decent at her job (which admittedly ain't saying a lot).
Wait, Rodney is picking Denver because of Peyton Manning??? The noodle-armed corpse of Peyton Manning is the difference in the game??? Rodney needs to a) lay off the drugs and b) not listen to that senile Dungy next to him
Maybe I'm just overestimating GB's offense, but I'm shocked that both Rodney and Dungy picked the Broncos.\
EDIT: Too slow here, what everybody above said
EDIT 2: They just showed Manning walking through the tunnel. Is it my imagination, or is his posture really weird? It looked like he's got his shoulders pulled back and he's sticking out his belly--was he always like that?

Seattle O seems like a bottom-third unit to me, given the hapless offensive line, scrub receivers (T. Lockett excepted) and Pop Warner playbook.
He invoked the Simmons Rule, "Never bet against Peyton Manning."
(I'm assuming he just left out the "prime time" part. Oh, and the part where Simmons has disavowed that rule.)

Aaron Rodgers is light years ahead of Peyton at this point.
The Denver D will need a Herculean effort to win this game.
