Alex Smith and the danger of daring to dream
San Francisco's overtime loss to the New York Giants doesn't eliminate the aura surrounding Alex Smith.
At least not in the biblical sense.
Saint Jude is known as the patron saint of lost causes; Smith has assumed that role for losing quarterbacks in the NFL. You can almost hear half the teams in the NFL looking at their quarterback and saying, "Well, if Alex Smith can go 13-3 and...

Chris Polk scheduled to play in the Senior Bowl
NFL grants eligibility to 65 underclassmenNFL.comThe NFL announced the 65 underclassmen who have been declared eligible for the 2012 draft, and there's a name missing from that list that will certainly have people interested: Chris Polk.Simmer down Husky fans. He's still headed to the NFL, but even though Polk did have a year of eligibility remaining, he's not technically...

Passing playoff muster
The NFL has become a passing league.That's what they tell me anyway. And by they, I mean anyone who is trying to put into context the historical passing numbers that are being put up whether it's Drew Brees breaking Dan Marino's NFL record for single-season passing yardage or the 10 different players who passed for more than 4,000 yards this season. Yep, that's right...

Seahawks offseason off to slow start
So what did I miss the past two weeks?
For the Seahawks, not much. And that's remarkable.
For the first time since 2001, Seattle was not either a) in the playoffs, or b) making a significant front-office move.
Seriously, go back, look it up. After the 2002 season, Mike Holmgren got defrocked of GM responsibilities. In 2003 through 2007, the Seahawks were in the postseason. After...

Seahawks free agency: Good intentions, greater uncertainty
Hope.That was the unanimous sentiment among the 18 players on Seattle's roster who are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents. There isn't a one of them that cleaned out his locker on Monday and stated anything other than a desire to be back with the team next season. At the same time, none were blind to the possibility that they might wind up elsewhere. Those competing...

Three things we learned: 49ers 19, Seahawks 17
Three things we learned
The turnaround in Seattle's running game is for real.When the Bears stymied the Seahawks ground game in Week 14, you had to wonder whether Seattle's rushing success in the second-half of the season was at least partly due to circumstance. Yes, Seattle had run the ball well against Dallas and Baltimore -- two well-regarded run defenses -- but the Seahawks...

The Seahawks and the bitter end
Seahawks coming up short at homeBy Danny O'Neil | The Seattle TimesClose wasn't part of Seattle's vocabulary last season when each of the Seahawks' nine losses was by double digits.Compare that to this season when Seattle has trailed by double digits throughout the fourth quarter only once: a Week 2 loss at Pittsburgh.In all four of Seattle's home losses, the...

Playoffs? No longer talking about playoffs
Seattle wasn't making the playoffs.That statement was going to be true no matter what the Seahawks did their final two games.Detroit's victory over San Diego Chargers on Sunday afternoon narrowed the Seahawks' playoff chances significantly and the Packers' victory over the Bears on Christmas would have elminated Seattle from postseason consideration even if the Seahawks had somehow...

Niners assistant shouted on his way out of Seattle
"Merry Christmas, everybody!"
Just what that sounds like depends on the situation, because saying those words on Sunday morning to a house full of family is very different than shouting it while walking through an opponent's stadium after winning a close game that formally extinguished that opponent's playoff chances.
Yes, shouted. That's what one of the 49ers assistant coaches...

By the numbers: 49ers at Seahawks
Seahawks eager for rematch with 49ersBy Danny O'Neil | The Seattle TimesThe striking thing about a statistical comparison between the Seahawks and 49ers is just how similar the two teams are from the below-average, run-heavy offense to the stout defense to the avoidance of turnovers and prevalence of takeaways.The difference is that San Francisco has been playing this way since the...

At least not under the league's very strict criteria, which does not consider a member of another draft class to be a rookie. Instead, Browner is listed as a first...
