    Just finished watching the game there and im absolutely sickened.

    2 things really stood out for me.

    1. Detroits secondary kept giving up big plays whens they had the seahawks under pressure. They blitzed rarely because there front 4 was getting to wilson regularly but this is wat i dont get. If the D is sending 4 and the O is keeping the RB to pass protect then surely its 7v4 in favour of the D in the secondary no? If the detroit secondary performed half as well as the front 4 then wilson wouldve struggled to throw for 100 yards

    2. This seahawks O needs a healthy Lynch back and quick. As a unit they have been so poor the last few games and although their defence will get them 6/7 wins on their own wilson needs some weapons. If he continues to try being a Johnny does everything then i wouldnt be surprised if they ended up 2-4 after the bengals and panthers games

    Really just guessing with the Steelers, but even without Roethlisberger, they have to be better than the Ravens who have fallen off a cliff altogether.

    If Cutler is back this weekend I'm changing my prediction in the Raiders Bears game to a Bears win. In his absence we don't have enough scores in us.

    10-5 this week. 38-25 overall.
    EDIT: Goddamnit, forgot to change my Raiders prediction to Bears on CBS. Only 37 on that, a difference of four spots in the overall standings. Agh.

    must be nice being the seashawks, knowing that no matter what the refs will give you the decision

    It's getting ridiculous at this stage. The Bears last week, the lolcats this week. But for years now their secondary have gotten away with PI and holding almost to the point that it's just how they play the game. No wonder they're so hard to play against. (They are my fantasy D though, so I'll allow it). There's no other team that benefits from reffing decisions so consistently.

    Possibly the pick of the bunch (I'm on a phone so this is going to look messy)


    Post 1: You're telling me it wasn't totally obvious that Wright did it intentionally?
    I agree that the result would be ticky-tack, but the ref’s have to enforce the rules.

    It's at the point where the sense of entitlement off chunks of their fan base is beyond laughable.

    it really is criminal and I think that defends is beatable in the air if they don't have that advantage the killer is when you see very questionable hold calls being made against every other teams on a weekly basis

    but again the reason they lost was the refs, not for the first time when officiating a game involving Detroit.

    Here's a decent illustation of what I was on about
