Rocket,I was at 7 home games this year and SA looked like he quit that is why he was booed. Everyone knows the O line has sucked with the run blocking UNTIL last week and if you know football you know what happened a month or two ago doesnt mean jack...
I completely get why people were booing. I just don't think it serves the real purpose of going to the games. To win them. Yeah, they get their points across, and #37 feels bad, but it also affects other players on the team, and even worse it pumps up the opposing defense.
Mreyns - When he falls on his ass behind the LOS I expect the fans to do the same thing they do when Matt H, throws an interception. Get pissed, yell "damn!", and get over it, don't try and bring down the team.
Congrats SA on the 100 touchdowns, #7 all time making NFL history, and you get booed. Welcome to Seattle!
ANYWAYS, it all doesn't matter now.
SATURDAY 1:30 PMIt is going to be a good game. There are two very good head coaches, going up against one another. Both teams are going to be prepared, both teams have a good veteran core. The early line has the Hawks -3.5 which is basically an even match (3 points for home), with a bit of a pointer to the Hawks.
The D laid an egg today, but they will be jacked to play this playoff game. There is no doubt that the Skins are hot, but they are playing on really high emotion right now, and IMO playing over their head a bit (again, very good coaching). They are coming in with a "pocket" passer, and their best receiver is Santana Moss, which plays a little into our hands, since we have a good corner back, especially against shorter receivers. The wild card in all of this is Cooley, our probowl outside linebackers, are not good in pass coverage. I have a feeling we are going to get gouged by the TE dump passes this game. I also have a feeling we will get 4+ sacks, due to Collins mobility or lack thereof.
Our running game is coming back into form. I don't know if you guys noticed it today or not? Pork Chop is making the difference. Mark it down. If we start with Chop next to Jones, we will run the ball. They held Chop as a backup the whole year because he is fragile, but his experience is making the difference in run blocking. Did you see the the cutback runs today, out of both backs? Also, we have a QB who wins playoff games, and the game will be put on his shoulders. I don't know if you guys remember the 05 skins playoff game in the same situation. #37 went down in the first quarter and #8 basically took the thing over and won it on his own. We will have all of our receivers next week.
I still like the bet, a lot, even if I weren't a homer.
