They are going to chicago ...

"if" they go to Atlanta we might just have to talk about that one too

Give it up Chuck. There will be no bets against the Fawks from me.

First 100+ yard game all year for any of the Seattle running back's.

There has been a lot of talk about how Hasselbeck is washed up, too old, doesn't have it anymore, etc., etc.
Now that he's had one of his better (if not his best) performances in a game, has he redeemed himself enough in your eyes to justify extending his contract? He was nothing short of superb yesterday, so do you thank him for pulling off one of the most stunning upsets in recent football memory and send him on his way?

There's probably no doubt the Fawks will either draft a QB or pick one up in free agency. The question is, do you keep Matty around to show the new QB the ropes, as the Pack did with Favre and Rodgers, or do you cut him loose, retire his number and have him raise the 12th man flag on occasion?

That performance will cement his future with the Hawks for the next two years. You always draft a QB in later rounds to find that diamond in the rough. Our first pick should be a Guard,corner,Defensive end.

Were now in a better postion to attract free agents in the off season.What player wouldn't want to play for PC...he's a player's Coach. GO HAWKS!!!

That run by Lynch reminds me of Larry Czonka the way he used his big arms to knock would be tacklers in the secondary. Larry didn't have breakaway speed like a Mercury Morris. I can also think of other power runners in the NFL like John Riggins, and Earl Campbell. Even Cory Dillon ran with power. Chris Ivory knocked a few Seahawks around in the regular season matchup but he hurt his ankle. Never thought Ivory had much power when he was at WSU as he was always injured.

There has never been a RB that was better at running over, around and through defenders than this guy.

Retiring a number usually requires a stellar career.

2 more years, he barely made it to the end of the regular season. Actually he didn't make it the whole season and all from running untouched into the end zone. I thought he was goingcome up gimp yesterday when the other player bumped into him (more like a shoulder pad graze) and he went down like a girl on prom night.

YOHOHO AND A JUG O GIN++++SEAHAWK NATION STILL CELEBRATIN!!!!! Lets go Packers, get er done cause we need to kick ur ass at Qwest on our way to #1!!!

It's hard remembering Czonka as the stud he is watching his fishing show....

You look at the body of work over a decade plus...All Time leading passer in Hawk History, By FARRR the most playoff victories and took a franchise to their only Super Bowl in 30+ years...ya #8 will be retired right next to the best left tackle ever who got us started yesterday with the 12th man flag!

Hawks resign Hass for 2 years, draft a Q in the 4th round, keep Whitehurst and see what happens. Amazing how good a Q can look when his O line starts blocking and the running game gets going for the first time all year...

HAWKS GONNA SHOCK THE WORLD!!

Oh Ya...guess which NFL division has by far the best playoff record since 2005???
Yes the MIGHTY NFC WEST!!

What went on during that Mar-Shawn run? Here's a step-by-step look.

Marshawn Lynch's 67-yard touchdown run to clinch Seattle's 41-36 wild-card victory against New Orleans is the play NFL fans everywhere are buzzing about. Twenty-four things to know about the run that will give Seattle's No. 24 a special place in NFL playoff lore:

There was nothing fancy about the personnel or formation.
Seattle lined up in its base offense with two backs and one tight end, John Carlson. The strong side was to the left, and that is where Lynch ran initially.
Seattle had been favoring zone runs all game, but this play -- "17 Power" -- featured man-on-man blocking. Players said Seattle had not run the play all game.
With this run, the Seahawks averaged 10.5 yards per rush on 10 carries from base personnel against New Orleans, according to my charting.
Lynch might never have escaped the backfield if fullback Michael Robinson, lined up in the offset-I formation, hadn't slammed into linebacker Jonathan Vilma, creating space.
Even so, linebacker Scott Shanle should have made the tackle about two yards into the run. No one blocked him. Count this as missed/broken tackle No. 1.
Receiver Ben Obomanu motioned right to left, sealing safety Roman Harper on the edge.
Right tackle Sean Locklear had the easiest job. He stood up and danced with defensive end Alex Brown.
Right guard Mike Gibson pulled across the formation, helped Carlson turn linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar outside and then rocked cornerback Tracy Porter five yards past the line of scrimmage.
It got worse for Porter. Much worse.
Center Chris Spencer and left guard Tyler Polumbus steered defensive tackle Remi Ayodele to the weak side.
Left tackle Russell Okung blocked defensive end Will Smith, but Allen came off the block in time to trail Lynch and get both hands on the running back's hips at the Seattle 35-yard line. This would be missed/broken tackle No. 2.
Spencer blocked Darren Sharper on the second level, but Sharper disengaged in time to make contact with Lynch eight yards downfield. Ayodele also made contact with Lynch at this point. These would be missed/broken tackles Nos. 3 and 4.
Cornerback Jabari Greer caught Lynch at midfield along the right hash, but Lynch ran right out of his grasp. Missed/broken tackle No. 5.
Porter caught up to Lynch at the New Orleans 36, but he made a bad mistake. Porter tried to tackle Lynch high. Lynch, cradling the ball in his right arm, discarded the 186-pound corner with a left hand straight out of a George Foreman fight. Porter tumbled nearly five yards downfield, landing on his right shoulder and rolling on the ground. This was missed/broken tackle No. 6.
Perhaps sensing Lynch could go all the way, multiple teammates rallied to the cause. Polumbus and receiver Mike Williams were first on the scene. Locklear and quarterback Matt Hasselbeck were gaining as Lynch crossed the 30.
Hasselbeck did not really block Brown, but he slightly impeded the big defensive end. Asked later if he were "looking" to block someone, Hasselbeck deadpanned that he was looking, but just looking.
Brown dove at Lynch's feet and just missed along the right sideline at the 16. This was missed/broken tackle No. 7.
Polumbus was at the 12 by now and in perfect position to shield Harper as Lynch cut back toward the middle.
Greer had hustled back into the play by now, but Hasselbeck seemed to know Lynch would score. The quarterback raised his right arm as Lynch crossed the 4-yard line, with Greer a step or so behind.
Harper had ducked under Polumbus at this point, but he dived and missed at the 2. This was missed/broken tackle No. 8. Lynch sidestepped just enough to make sure Harper would not get him.
Carlson, Spencer and Obomanu were also inside the 5 at this point.
Lynch dove onto his back in the end zone and popped to his feet as Carlson, Hasselbeck, Polumbus, Spencer, Williams and Obomanu swarmed him.
This was the longest run of Lynch's career by 11 yards and it gave Seattle its first 100-yard rusher of the season.

Again, need I say more.
