Seahawks win means Rams can’t clinch NFC West this week
The Rams had a chance to become the first team since 2002 — when the NFL went to 32 teams — to clinch a division title before Week 12. Then, they didn’t. The Seahawks didn’t cooperate. Seattle’s victory over Green Bay on Thursday night means the Rams will have to wait at least another week. [more]
Seahawks had to use silent count at times last night
The stadium in Seattle is one of the loudest in the NFL. On Thursday night, it was a little too loud, at times, for the home team. The Seahawks had to resort to a silent count at times during Friday night’s game. “We went silent count a couple times,” left tackle Duane Brown said after [more]
Mychal Kendricks rejoined Seahawks on Friday
Linebacker Mychal Kendricks rejoined the Seahawks on Friday, coach Pete Carroll told reporters. Kendricks will return to practice next week but remains ineligible to play until Dec. 10 against Minnesota. The NFL suspended Kendricks eight games under its Personal Conduct Policy for his guilty plea to federal insider trading changes. When the league announced the [more]
Mike McCarthy’s reliance on “the numbers” underscores the extent of his blunder
Packers coach Mike McCarthy has parlayed the absence of a traditional owner and the presence of a transcendent quarterback into the kind of job security that few other coaches enjoy. McCarthy’s ability to escape scrutiny may now be coming to an end, and he has only himself to blame for it. For the third straight [more]
Russell Wilson was undeterred by first-half misfires
Much has been, and will be, said about the mishandling of the closing moments of Thursday night’s game by the Packers. It’s important to not lose sight of the fact that, regardless of anything the Packers did wrong, the Seahawks did plenty of things right. Quarterback Russell Wilson made some key throws in the second [more]
Aaron Rodgers explains the frustrations that flow from short-week football
Most of the complaints that some players have made about Thursday Night Football relate to health and safety concerns. (Plenty of players like short-week games, because of the less intense practice week and mini-bye on the back end.) After Thursday’s 27-24 loss to the Seahawks, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers addressed another complication that emerges from [more]
Packers-Seahawks draws a big rating for FOX
The NFL’s ratings continue to trend upward. Last night’s Packers-Seahawks game drew an 11.9 overnight rating, according to Austin Karp of SportsBusiness Daily. That’s the best rating since FOX took over the Thursday Night Football package this year, and it’s also better than any game in the Thursday Night Football package drew last year. That [more]
Pete Carroll appreciated the late Green Bay punt
When assessing the wisdom of a coaching decision, perhaps the best evidence comes from the reaction of the opposing coach. If it’s glee, then the decision may have been ill-advised. And that accurately describes Seahawks coach Pete Carroll’s reaction to Packers coach Mike McCarthy’s decision to punt the ball on fourth and two from his [more]
Tramon Williams on late punt: I want to go for it, play to win
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy’s decision to punt on fourth-and-two while down three points with 4:20 left to play in Thursday night’s loss to the Seahawks began being second-guessed even before the Seahawks were able to run out the clock. It wasn’t just people watching the game from afar who felt they would have handled [more]
Aaron Rodgers waits for “one galvanizing moment” to get the season going
The 4-5-1 Packers have yet to win on the road, and they’re running out of time to get enough wins to earn the ability to go on the road in January. After Thursday night’s loss to the Seahawks, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was asked whether any lope lingers for the season. Rodgers didn’t seem to appreciate [more]
Seahawks center Justin Britt critical of officiating, says Packers were simulating snap counts
Seattle Seahawks center Justin Britt was in a terrific mood after Thursday night’s 27-24 win over the Green Bay Packers. Nevertheless, he wanted to share some thoughts on what he felt were officiating issues in the game and throughout the season as a whole in the locker room after the game. The Seahawks were called [more]
Seahawks ground and pound Packers 27-24
Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson dueled throw-for-throw, touchdown-for-touchdown, fist pump-for-fist pump in a game neither team could afford to lose. But the Seahawks made sure it lacked the great finish that has defined games between the teams, running out the final 4:11 to keep Rodgers on the sideline. Seattle won 27-24 to move to 5-5, [more]
Seahawks’ challenge leads to FG
The Packers, who benefited from Dez Bryant‘s catch becoming an incompletion after replay in the 2014 playoffs, disagreed with Al Riveron’s decision on a Seattle catch Thursday. Both Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy were caught shaking their heads. On third-and-seven from the Seattle 6, Russell Wilson threw deep to David Moore. Moore briefly had the [more]
Packers rule out safety Raven Greene with ankle injury, Mike Daniels out with foot injury
The Green Bay Packers ruled out safety Raven Greene from returning to Thursday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. Additionally, defensive tackle Mike Daniels is questionable to return with a foot injury.
