    NFL GameDay Week 22 PREGAME – 1ST QUARTER SUPER BOWL 48 WAS THE MOST-WATCHED TELEVISION EVENT OF ALL TIME. IT FEATURED THE 2 BEST TEAMS AND THE LOUDEST SUPER BOWL CROWD EVER. THE SEAHAWKS HOPED TO TURN THE FREE KICK INTO A TOUCHDOWN. INSTEAD THEY HAD TO SETTLE FOR A FIELD GOAL WHEN PERCY HARVIN COULDN’T QUITE STAY IN BOUNDS. AFTER THE SAFETY, PEYTON MANNING WENT TO A SILENT COUNT FOR THE REST OF THE GAME IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THE CROWN NOISE. BUT THERE WAS NO SILENCING SEATTLE’S NUMBER ONE DEFENSE (PAUSE) AND THE “L.O.B.,” THEIR “LEGION OF BOOM” SECONDARY. AHEAD 5 TO NOTHING, RUSSELL WILSON LED A 13 PLAY DRIVE. WILSON CONVERTED THREE FIRST DOWNS BUT ONCE AGAIN THE SEAHAWKS COULDN’T SCORE A TOUCHDOWN. DESPITE BEING DOMINATED, THE HIGHEST SCORING TEAM IN NFL HISTORY TRAILED BY ONLY 8. IN THE FIRST QUARTER, THE BRONCOS MANAGED JUST 10 PASSING YARDS. (PAUSE) DENVER DIDN’T GET A SINGLE FIRST DOWN AND TURNED THE BALL OVER. 2ND QUARTER ON THIRD DOWN, IT LOOKED AS IF THE BRONCOS WOULD HOLD THE SEAHAWKS TO A THIRD FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT. SHARKS ARE ATTRACTED TO BLOOD IN THE WATER. IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH TO START A FEEDING FRENZY. THE SEAHAWKS’ ABILITY TO PRESSURE MANNING WITH THEIR FRONT FOUR ALLOWED THE REST OF THE DEFENSE TO HIT WHATEVER CAME ITS WAY. IT TOOK THE BRONCOS 14 PLAYS AND OVER EIGHT MINUTES TO TRAVEL A MERE 49 YARDS. IT TOOK ONE PLAY TO UNDO IT ALL.

    Wednesday, October 31, 2018 | Hoag Performance Center | Costa Mesa, Calif. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS HEAD COACH ANTHONY LYNN Opening Statement: “Good afternoon. I tell you, watching [Seahawks Head] Coach [Pete] Carroll, I've known him for a long time. His whole coaching staff, I've either played with or played for. It's a really good coaching staff. Right now, they are doing a heck of a job. I think they are the hottest team in the NFL right now. They have won four out of last five. They are doing it collectively in all three phases — and offensively, they are rushing the ball better than anybody the last five weeks and more rush attempts, that's kind of their formula. Defensively, they are sixth in the league and No. 2 in takeaways. That's something I know he emphasizes a lot. Special teams-wise, they have one of the best returners in the game. He was an All-Pro the last three years. I'm excited to go over there and play them at their place. It's going to be a heck of a challenge for us, our coaching staff and our players, but this is what we need right now. We think we're getting better as a football team and this is going to be one hell of a test.” On DE Joey Bosa: “Joey is going to do some things on the side, but he won't be a part of any team activities today, no.” On the Seattle running game: “Well, you know, their offensive line is powerful.

  • Josh Mcdaniels Fiasco, Anthem Protests Are Examples Why the NFL Misses Pat Bowlen Right Now by Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb
    Josh McDaniels fiasco, anthem protests are examples why the NFL misses Pat Bowlen right now By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb. 11, 2018 Robert Kraft is the real villain in the Josh McDaniels-Colts fiasco. With great power comes great responsibility, and no owner uses his for self-serving interests more frequently than the Patriots’. Some of the NFL’s most prominent issues — national anthem protests, distrust between players and owners, the fallout from continued and necessary CTE studies, all that — are a direct result of the league’s knee-jerk reaction to almost anything that threatens to tarnish the shield. I call it the CYA plan. Instead of working together to advance the greater good with a sensible solution, the men in charge seek to cover their own backside. The anthem protests are the perfect example. The NBA quickly and successfully identified a solution in the form of a blanket decree that all teams must stand for the anthem. And when’s the last time you read a report on anthem issues in the NBA? There haven’t been any. There’s been zero blowback from a league roster that’s 70 percent black. The NBA’s all good. This isn’t hard. Meantime, the wishy-washy NFL tried to appease this group ... and that group ... and that other group ... and the end result has been distrust from players and alienating a sizable chunk of its fandom. Nobody follows the CYA plan — ignoring what’s best for the league in order to help itself — better than Kraft. That brings us to McDaniels, who reneged on a promise to join the Colts as coach.

  • Seattle Seahawks Continue to Fly High Under Russell Wilson
    Seattle Seahawks Continue to Fly High Under Russell Wilson Author : alyssamichelle After getting off to a bumpy start going 3-3 in their first six games the Seattle Seahawks will have a chance this Sunday to claim the number one spot in the NFC West. Last Sunday the Seahawks (10-4) officially eliminated division rivals the San Francisco 49ers (7-7) from playoffs, their defense once again getting the best of Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers offense. Kaepernick was sacked six times for a loss of 36 yards in Seattle's 17-7 win. In the battle of young quarterbacks Kaepernick has been bested by Russell Wilson and company four out of five games including last years NFC championships. Only time will tell but fans could be witnessing the beginning of the next Tom Brady-Peyton Manning rivalry. When Kaepernick first took over for Alex Smith in 2012 he appeared to be the next big thing. Fast forward a couple years and Wilson now holds the record for most regular-season wins by a quarterback in their first three seasons and most importantly, a Super Bowl ring. While Kaepernick can be flashier at times, Wilson is more effective. Kaepernick has thrown for more yards this season, 3,051 compared to Wilson's 2,897, but Wilson has thrown for fewer interceptions, six compared to Kaepernick's 10, more touchdowns, 18 compared to Kaepernick's 16 and completes a higher percentage of his passes, 62.6 percent compared to 60.5. While the numbers slightly favor Wilson the biggest difference comes in the ability to get the job done in crunch time and win when your back is against the wall.
