Mid-Season look at NFL Playoffs

Found October 23, 2012 on The Penalty Flag: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Marshawn Lynch,  Russell Wilson
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks
The 2012 NFL Season is reaching the midway point of the season and the NFL Playoffs are beginning to take shape. This is the time when we begin looking at the bigger picture of things in terms of wins and losses. Every week wins and losses are important but many seem to think wins and losses aren’t as important in the beginning of the season since teams can recover.Yet, looking at the playoff picture we could see a scenario where if it came down to it, the Seattle Seahawks could win the tiebreaker with the Green Bay Packers for the final NFC wild card spot based upon one call. That horrible call by the replacement officials in that Monday Night game could very well be the difference between making and missing the playoffs.… Read more

Seattle to be without WR Doug Baldwin vs. Detroit

Via AP on Fox  |  October 24, 2012
Outside of some sore ribs and an ankle that was a little gimpy, injuries never became a major problem for Doug Baldwin during his breakout rookie season. It's why Baldwin was able to lead the Seattle Seahawks in receiving, becoming the first undrafted rookie to lead his team in pass catches in more than 50 years. This year, it's been a different health story for Baldwin...

Before they match up on Sunday, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman changed his Twitter name to let everyone know he's not intimidated by Megatron. 

*My two cents* The Seahawks need to trade for Dwayne Bowe

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  October 22, 2012
Pull The Trigger! Headline: The solution is a QB change; the compromise is the Chiefs WR making Seattle’s offense better. The Seattle Seahawks need to do something for their defense, a defense that is the best in the NFL and could win a Super Bowl if given the opportunity. Since no one in management or on the coaching staff is willing to change their minds (a stubborn bunch),...

Q will pub Five Seahawks who put the Special in Special Teams

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  October 23, 2012
Always a Bright Spot On days when the Seattle Seahawks‘ defense can’t even hold on (granted they are on the field for the majority of the game) and the offense is… well, being the Seahawks offense, the Special Teams unit helps out both units. Be it by giving the opposing offense awful starting field position, or Leon Washington electrifying the game with a stunning return...

Seattle's Sherman ready for Detroit's 'Megatron'

Via AP on Fox  |  October 24, 2012
Leave it to Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman to come up with a new way of talking about an opponent without saying a word. Sherman, who drew plenty of attention after Seattle's win over New England for his comments about Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, changed his name on his Twitter page Wednesday to ''Optimus Prime,'' a Transformers character. That wouldn...

Seahawks young defensive backs fire back at Jim Harbaugh for crying about rough play

Via NFL Draft Zone  |  October 24, 2012
The Seahawks responded to comments from 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and his belief that Seattle’s defensive backs were overly physical with San Francisco’s wide receivers in the Thursday night game, to the point he intended on speaking with the league. You’re supposed to be happy after you win a football game, right? I’m not big for media anyway. That’s just who he is, I guess...

Pete Carroll Fires Back at Jim Harbaugh Over Hypocritical Statements About NFL Officiating

Via NESN.com  |  October 22, 2012
The Pete Carroll-Jim Harbaugh rivalry has thankfully continued into the NFL. Carroll had criticism over Harbaugh's recent complaints that the Seahawks' defensive backs were getting away with too-physical play down the field, implying that it contradicted Harbaugh's accusation that Giants' offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride was trying to influence...

A Tale of Two Halves

Via Seahawk Addicts  |  October 23, 2012
Last Thursday’s road game against the 49ers was supremely frustrating to watch.  The Seahawks looked awful, and that’s led to a lot of fans voicing opinions of the “fire coach X and/or bench player Y” variety.  That’s understandable, but I think it’s premature to be calling for changes that drastic.  Right now, the Seahawks are 3-0 at home and 1-3 on the road, with...

Moments in time…The Seattle Seahawks week that was

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  October 25, 2012
Ouch, a heart breaker in SF Another road game, and another lack of a passing game, or scratch that, another lack of a receiving game is more like it. The Seahawks have had this issue for the balance of this century, yes, even in the Super Bowl year. It’s nothing new to write about, or to get peeved about, or to even care about really. This is just one of those things that is...
