he turf at FedEX field has been the subject of a lot of discussion after Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III and Seahawks defensive end Chris Clemons suffered knee injuries in the Seattle's 24-14 win over Washington. Seahawks quarterback Pete Carroll was clearly displeased with the field conditions. "It was horrible, it's a horrible field," Carroll said on the Bruno and Salk show on KIRO-AM in Seattle on Monday. "It was as bad as a field could get for being dry. And it's too bad. It's really too bad, and we deserve better. ... It was worn out. There was a lot of slipping and all that kind of stuff. "And it was relative. It didn't change the game at all, in my opinion, because it was relative, both sides, but we should just expect to see a better field at that time of year." The Seahawks have now lodged a complaint to the NFL about the field conditions. Source: The Redzone

NFC Wild Card: Seahawks @ Redskins Preview & Prediction

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  January 06, 2013
There is a reason I’ve held off until last to predict this game and it isn’t because it is the last game of the weekend. The reason I’ve procrastinated on this one is simply because even as I’m writing it, I’m not sure who I’m going to pick to win it. When two of the hottest teams in the league face off in the 5th seeded Seattle Seahawks and the 4th seeded Washington...
