ReutersAfter three games that fell somewhere short of thrilling to open the playoffs, we could be on the verge of a little more excitement at FedEx Field.
The Redskins lead 14-13 at halftime after the Seahawks rallied back from an early 14-0 deficit to draw within one on a Steve Hauschka field goal just before the half. Hauschka hurt his left ankle at some point in the first half and punter Jon Ryan handled the kickoff after Michael Robinson’s touchdown catch, but the kicker was able to hit the 29-yard chip shot despite the pain in his plant leg.
Marshawn Lynch made the play of the half for the Seahawks when he scooped up a Russell Wilson fumble for an 18-yard gain that allowed them to drive for Robinson’s touchdown. It was a risky play by Lynch as he avoided the oft-repeated maxim to just fall on the ball, but it worked out for Seattle and helped them turn the tide of the game. An interception by safety Earl Thomas on a deep throw by Robert Griffin III on the next drive also helped on that account.
The half wound up fairly evenly split as the ‘Skins dominated the first 15 minutes, outgaining the Seahawks 129-9, and the Seahawks controlled the next 15 by gaining 172 yards to just 11 for the Redskins. It adds up to a tight game and, hopefully, a second half that continues to make this the most compelling viewing of Wild Card weekend.

I’ll be here celebrating a Redskins win in about an hour. Seahawk fans will go back to hiding in irrelevance. No worries.
Finally a good game this weekend.
Its clear that the Redskins defense has been figured out. And RG3? Well hes no Patrick Ramsey. Not even a Heath Miller. Skins are doomed.
skins fans not trash talking anymore haha, they know they don’t have momentum going into the second half. uh oh!
I almost want the 4skins to win so I don’t have to listen to ignorant people complain about Seattle got lucky on 65 plays, especially Nancy Kerrigans most recent pick. Nice toss though. Had a string on that noodle armed ball.
Hawks will roll the 2nd half like they have the past month. I wish I could be there to hand MeAngelo Hall a box of Kleenex.
logical voice u jus b puttin dat redskins bag just back on yo head afta da game
Now this is the game I was waiting for. I and most logical fans knew The hawks were not coming into DC and crushing us. The winner of ROY is on that field and I believe this game will be a determining factor! This could be a great back and forth game if RG3 stays healthy!!!
Might have to put cousins in if rg3 is as limited as he looked last time out.
Hopefully the Hawks can pull one out. Great game!
Looking forward to a Seahawks victory just so I don’t have to read any more stupid posts from logicalvoice
Redskins’ secondary is having issues.
Basically this is another bye week for the falcons. Bring on SF or Green Bay
One thing all top rookie qb’s have in common, not just a promising future, but they all have white girlfriends! rob parker hates it.
Hawks are a great 2nd half team, sometimes they take a little while to get the beast warmed up……..
And the skins are relevant? Lol
I said this in another thread, but damn I wish RGIII was healthy. It is great watching Wilson running around with explosion and making solid throws. Hopefully, no matter the outcome, we can get some more matchups between these QBs!
These officials need to call the face masks ect on Seahawks db. That guy was out of control in the first half and no calls.
What time is the Redskins Vs. Falcons game next week?
Looks like it doesn’t matter who wins this one, as bad as they are beating each other up it’s going to be a banged up crew limping into Atlanta.
Seahawks look better right now.
Awesome game so far
rg3 hasnt done ish since the 1st q. hes starting to stink up the joint.
Kinda where you’ve been for the last 20 years Mr. Logical?
Wow…looks like the Skins should have drafted Wilson!
Not bad for a 3rd round pick
Russel wilson is makin fools out of would be tacklers !
They need to put cousins in rg is hobbled
When the Falcons play the skins the key is to go after DeAngelo Hall *Wu Tang voice* again, and again, and again.
56-3 Falcons
Look out foreskin fans, Seattle is definitely playing better ball than the foreskins are. The tides about to turn! Bob is not a pocket passer and it’s showing up big time now!
I can’t wait for logical voice to disappear… Hopefully for life.. But it may be too much to ask someone to venture out into a world beyond pft.. Like a job, women… Even to a bar for a beer.
Seahawks 35
Redskins 31
I love how these redskin fans think their going to win. Its so cute
)
This game is no better than the others this weekend.
When the Falcons play the skins the key is to go after DeAngelo Hall *Wu Tang voice* again, and again, and again.
56-3 Falcons
*******************
You mean when the Falcons play the Seahawks
D Hall played here in Atlanta, they know exactly how to play him…and push his buttons
31-27 Hawks, PFT you mine as well hire me.
Steviaquinn,
You do realize you’re talking about the atlanta falcons, don’t you?
You know those Atlanta falcons that don’t show up for the playoffs? You could play a joe Webb led chiefs team in the playoffs and Maddy ice would be just that: Ice Cold!
That fumble at the goalline by Seattle could prove very costly. They wouldve had a lot of momentum after that AND the lead. Their only saving grace could be an very injured RG3.
Skins need to put in Cousins. RG3′s injuries are holding back their team. Putting this all on the Defense at this point when you have a good back up QB is irresponsible and stupid.
Seadderall might pull this out, their uncanny ability to stay focused and study in film study might pay off with a busted coverage
RG3 looks like garbage.
TOUCHDOWN!!!!
Marshawn is a beast!!!!! Go Hawks!!! God, I hate skins fans!!
Touchdown Seattle…
Skins fans can start to see it slowly slip away.
Hahahaha
Marshawn Lynch just tap-danced all over Redskins D..
Logical voice says oh no.. I have nothing… But God loves the redskins! Hail! hTTR and all that other nonsense…
Boy, RG3 really blew this one
Skins are throwing the game away. RG3 has to be taken out, that knee is killing him…. he can’t run, he is missing easy throws… sure looks like he can’t even put much weight on that leg.. .
aight skins ur 7 down wit 7 to go lets c wat ur made of
Next man up right Foreskin fans? Don’t wanna hear nothing about Bob hurting!!
Down goes Frazier!
Should have put Cousins in when they realized Griffin was hurting.
His knee buckled ugly just now, even with a brace
RG1andDONE! HAHAHA
Hes done enjoy him for 11-12 games a year hahaha
When did Vick get traded to the Redskins….Hahahahahahahahaha #go home….Oh wait you are home…#home field advantage.
Oh oh your little rg3 guy is down! Karma !
And you’re done redskins. RG3 won’t last more than 5 years in this league. You can watch the real team from Maryland next week.

Looks like he will be diappearing after tonight-at least until next season.
And why do the Redskins keep playing there 2nd best QB sounds stupid to me. Should play your best players #fire Shanahan
You dont have to pay him the rest of his contract..hahahaha
that looked like an acl tear. I hope he is ok. your great rg3 but without your legs, sorry bud but your no Dan Marino with no legs, your just average. shannahan is going to ruin this kids career for his own personnel gain
Redskins are done. Looking forward for Seattle to beat the Falcons next week and play an all NFC West championship. Falcons dont stand a shot against that D
Valiant effort by the Skins, but it looks like I’ll be 4 for 4 on my wildcard weekend predictions. Go Pats!
good job greedyhan
I’ll go ahead and mark my calendar for the year 2026. That will likely be as soon as skins win the division again

Well, logicalvoicesays, following your moronic posts this season was entertaining. Buh-bye now, Loser.
Come on logical… Come out and play buddy. You
Don’t think we’ll hear from logicalvoicesays much more this season.
Hey crazyvoices… It’s been about an hour. Are you celebrating yet?
Not too smart keeping rg3 in the game
Hi logicalvoicesays,
Howz it mate?
Way to go Redskins!!! RG3 is awesome!
Shannagan needs to be fired for leaving the future out there , feel bad for RG
And the Predator was just Terminated!
How do your words taste illogical voice?
To the rest of the redskins fans, congrats on a great turnaround this season.

I know who won’t be hear to talk trash. Enjoy the offseason Logical.
Curt welcome to the Legion of Boom!!! On to ATL.
RG1andDone
Vick, Manning, Romo and RG3 go to a bar….To watch Rodgers win the superbowl
Where’s all that hail garbage now!!!
There was so much hype put on the rookie and he is burning himself out trying to live up to it.
RGIII is no doubt a great player, but without his legs he is just mediocre at best.
RGIII got destroyed.
Stop by the Mayor’s office this week Redskin’s fans. Enjoy who’s flag will be flying!!!!
Hawks own skins in their house. Celebrate that
I guess god is mad at the Redskins
Sure seems like there is a lot of drama in these playoffs. Arians rushed to the hospital (in front of the team apparently), Ponder whiffs, Packers roll, RGIII does great early on, takes a dive (watch the replay), hugs his coach, Ray Lewis gets to dance twice in the game.
A lot of drama for one weekend of playoff football, don’t you think?
