Matt Stafford running the option. He’s a regular Tommie Frazier.

Kind if weak. Chirping happens all game. Why now?

it was incredibly stupid of the player. but i also would think the ref should just ignore the crap as it was not directed at a single guy.

Can’t imagine the Super Bowl will top this game.

The refs warned him, his teammate told him to shutup, and he still did it.

yes. hes a moron. but i still think its pretty weak crap in that situation. let them play. let them chirp. who cares.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

So that’s down by contact?

 

[STEVEHOLT]

so thats a catch but cooks wasnt?

Lol! As soon as I saw that catch I immediately thought, "Here come the Bills fans!"

Darnold has played his @ss off. And credit to the Seattle coaches for having enough confidence to put it on his shoulders.

 

[Eric15]

Seattle opened -3.5 vs NE

[bpo57]

Been going back and forth between Seattle -4.5 and -5.0

i would suspect it will end up at least at those levels.

That game was very confusing - at least, after the Buffalo game - with a couple of the catches. Now I'll never what a catch is!!!!

I think NE can win the SB. Their defense is really good. If it’s Darnold there’s always the chance he implodes.

IT seems his implosions might be more related to who he had as coaches. I root for these guys who were deemed "busts" when their performance was related more to the circumstances than their abilities.

Ehhh. He led the league in turnovers this year and with KOC in Minnesota he was prone to dumpster games. See the end of the season at Detroit and in LA this year. I don't deny he played well last night, but NE does have an elite defense themselves. Better than anyone Seattle faced in the NFC playoffs.

 

[Newhouser]

I think he will implode on Super Bowl Sunday, but I'm rooting for Darnold. Seems like a good guy.

There was so much angst about the buffalo play and very little today about the fumble/pass play that in many ways was an even worse call.

Don’t think it was worse. Kupp took multiple steps and Cooks didn’t. That said McVay blew it burning a TO before it could be challenged.

No I mean the Denver pass play,

Kupp didnt take multiple steps.. he took 2. Then hit the ground. Cooks took 2 then a knee then hit the ground. The Kupp play probably happens 1-2 times a week in the NFL and its called catch or not about 50% of the time

I don't get the complaints about the fumbles.

Kupps play looked a lot more like a catch than Cooks to me.

Kinda the same. I'm pulling for him, and I think the Seahawks win, but i could see him imploding.

 

[upperdeck]

A lot of talk about a 4th and one call where NE was gifted a 1st down on the gambling shows today

Agree with that. No way Maye got the first down.

But who did NE face this year? They went 14-3 with two wins over playoff teams - Carolina and Buffalo. Seattle had five in the regular season and beat a team yesterday that was clearly better than anybody NE faced. The QBs NE faced in the playoffs were Stroud and Stidham plus Herbert with no OL. Darnold was lights out yesterday.
