Thank you for mentioning this about Aldon Smith. As a Broncos fan I got so tired of hearing that Smith should have won the DROTY award last year and was flabbergasted he was in the DPOY conversation this year.

He is a talented player, sure, but he does one thing well and that is it. J.J. Watt and Von Miller are complete football players who play at a high level on nearly every facet of defensive football.

Everyone that mentioned the GB/Sea game as if the 1 single call at the end was what defermined the game need to go look at the PI call on the last GB scoring drive – it didn’t exist, and it was 3rd and long. I am just saying that WHOLE game was ref’d bad – can’t just call 1 play since because it happened to be the last.

I am so sick of hearing about that GB game – but glad so many people see Seattle is for real.

Man I love watching great defense. Seattle beat my team when Seattle wasn’t even close to their peak either. There’s no doubt in my mind that the NFC’s best is better than the AFC’s best this year.

Russell Wilson is the type of player I can’t help rooting for. He’s what I love about the NFL. Longshot type guy who has talent but “something wrong with him” that leads to his not being drafted high, and he proves everyone wrong. On top of that, he’s a high character guy. What’s not to love?

“Chancellor hit Davis in the chest. With his shoulder pads. Hard.”

If they fine Chancellor for that hit they might as well shut down the NFL altogether. That was a perfect hit according to the guidelines of the NFL.

________________

Don’t hold your breath. They fined Goldson last week on his monster clean hit against Patriots’ TE last week.

9erfan giving props to SEA who came to play last night. A word of advice though SEA fans: any given Sunday what happened last night to the 9ers is going to happen to SEA. They’ll enter the game nicked up have a few players go down, have an inopportune TO and suffer a blowout. I know, 3 great games in a row. The hawks are hot, no doubt and at the right time. Good luck and enjoy the win. A win against any team in the NFL is no small feat. Just ask the Giants and Texans.

Seahawks are built for the long term. Most of their top players (Wilson, Lynch, Sherman, E. Thomas, Okung, Unger, Wagner, Irvin, etc.) are under 26 years old. PC is building the USC West, I guess.
People need to start giving them credit this year, before they start efficiently destroying teams in the playoffs in January.
Next year? Well, let’s wait for the next draft by John Schneider and then talk.
Go Hawks!

Sadly, when talk of ROTY comes up, Wilson’s name won’t get a second thought, even though he has outplayed the 2 hype machines, Luck and Bob, in some areas. Hype wins every time

Guess this means Mel Kiper will be retiring after he said Wilson would be a nice back up but not a starter in this league. It was the best part of the draft, with Gruden getting hot because he knew Kiper was full of it and he was / is a dope.

Teams better fear the Hawk’s come playoff time, especially if they have to go to Seattle.

I really think the league should incur fines every time an official wrongly calls a penalty because he was instructed to err on the side of caution. It seems the only people with any skin in the game are the defensive players. Offensive players aren’t penalized for lowering there heads and causing helmet to helmet collisions, officials aren’t penalizes for wrongly calling a penalty, and the league incurs no penalty at all for instructing officials to basically hand out unjust penalties if they’re not sure of the call. I think the league should be fined heavily for violating the integrity of the game every time an official makes a wrong call. In essence the league is saying defensive players should be able to make split second decisions to avoid head to head hits that officiala can’t even accurately judge in real time. If it’s so cut and dry why are they telling officials to err on caution?

People may not remember this but when these fines fitsy started flags were getting thrown for clearly egregious helmet to helmet hits. Now it’s evolved to a point where any type of ticky tack helmet to helmet hits are flagged AND hits like last night where no helmet to helmet hit are flagged. This is pure silliness.

Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth spent a lot of time during the game talking about that Fail Mary game way back on September 24. I think that will forever taint the Seahawks 2012 season.

We got banged on. Pure and simple. Wilson looks great. They’re D was pumped. 11/12 in 3rd dwn conv. Fa real? He was like a lil Mighty Mouse out there. My boys comin off playin 90+ snaps last week was not gonna catch em. Good stuff Seattle hope ta see you again… Except at the ‘Stick!!

I feel that Russell Wilson is just as good as RG3,Luck and any other QB drafted in 2012. I also believe that the 49ers can be beaten on any given Sunday and will not make it into the Superbowl.

It’s nice to hear a fan of a rival team have a good sense decorum. I’m starting to read less and less of the comments on this site because of the childishness and hatred people exhibit here. There needs to be more people like you. A good community makes a website infinitely better and the chuckleheads here are starting to ruin it.

All week long, the snarky pundits and fanboys repeatedly sneered “Well, the Seahawks sure aren’t going to hang 50 on the Niners.”

As it turns out, the snarky pundits and fanboys were right.

The better Quarterback won.
The better Running Back won.
The better Cornerback won.
The better Defense won.
The better TEAM won.

Get used to it Niner fans.

And please….please don’t infer that Alex Smith would’ve won you this game.

Your QB was exposed, having finally played against an elite secondary.

Congrats to the Hawks for yet another impressive win but even more so congratulations to the NFC West. People have been dogging that division for years (wrongly) for being one of the worst in sports. It isn’t and never really was.

I enjoy watching the Seattle/San Francisco rivalry just as much as watching my Saints take on the Falcons.

The NFC West, even when wins were scarce, has always been a hard hitting buckle your chinstrap type division. Even the Rams and Cards feature good defenses.

That said I am blown away by Seattle’s ability to bring the wood on defense and at the same time rack up the points they have. I truly think the Seahawks are the team to fear right now coming out of the NFC.

I know my team will miss out this year thanks to Lord Minister Imperial Emperor Roger Godell but I truly hope one of you be it the 49ers or Seahawks make it here to New Orleans. Just do me this favor on your way here please thrash the Falcons for me! I can’t stomach the idea of them getting to play for a championship in the Superdome.

I love my 9ers, but hate our coach. I’m glad to see this happen to him after his wonderful QB decision.
Can’t wait for him to lose in the first round of the playoffs, and then see Alex succeed somewhere else. I like Kap, but it’s just not his time. Everyone’s so high on him for all the wrong reasons. He’s mobile and has a rocket arm. But I would have much rather had Smith in there. I felt safe with Smith. Kap increases the need for the D to step up even further.
Fantastic game by the Hawks tonight, seeing our coach get destroyed brought a smile to my face.

I’m a ‘Skins fan and have been critical of the Seahawks due to their win over Green Bay at the hands of the fake refs. But, I have to give credit where credit is due. Wilson looks and plays like a maniac. Looking at him play, you would never even think there was a possibility that he’s a rookie. Seattle is a dangerous team and I don’t think any other team in the league is looking forward to playing them – and especially not playing them in Seattle. Respect.

I may have been the only non Seahawks fan to pick them to win their division before preseason. I’m proud of that fact, even if they don’t win it.

But, I’m also the homer that predicted 12-4 for the Saints, so I’m obviously not related to Nostradamus.
