    Go on then tell me what players you have seen do it?
    Anquan Boldin does it after every TD

    He is the fastest player to 600 receptions and when he achieved this he handed the ball to a young girl in the stands.
    However stadium security took the ball from her, boooooo! :p
    They gave her a replacement ball though

    They wanted the ball, whether it's for the Ravens collection or going to Canton I forgot. They wanted the ball due to the record

    TJ Housh scored a TD against the Steelers and handed the ball to their fans. They were appreciative too and shook his hand. Nice to see despite the rivalry

    Thats why you never see a player chuck the ball into the stands (even if they are at home) and why its rare for you to see players hand the ball to a fan.

    I suppose players get overcome with emotion at times and forget.
    Hell if I scored with the last play of the game I'd probably do the same

    Can't really say I share this sentiment. I have nothing against the Seahawks, and they deserved their win on the night, but through the season they have ranged from mediocre to downright awful. There aren't many worse teams than them in the whole NFL, and to see them hosting a playoff game now leaves a bit of a bad taste.

    In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King.

    Or, if you're not as eloquent as Neil here, in the division of shít, sucky ass teams, the one who sucks the least will finish 1st because someone has to.

    Jus' saying. :pac:

    Just finished watching the Seahawks-Rams game. Pretty dire stuff tbh with suitably poor officials. Long-term you've got to fancy the Rams to be strong over the coming years - a couple of decent WRs and they would have won tonight.

    It is done all the time, but obviously when it's done by a Patroits players it makes it extra special! :rolleyes:

    I really can't wait till they go back to being a mediocre Franchise. No doubt this eagleeye fella will bemoan Bill Pollian as the cause whenever it happens.:rolleyes:

    Atmosphere was amazing.

    Yep, there is always incredible noise and atmosphere in Qwest

    Which is why I was suprised about that poll that a majority of fans in Seattle would rather miss the playoffs and get a high draft pick.
    Seattle have great fans but they went down a few pegs in my estimation over that.
    According to results from an online Seattle Times poll, the answer is no. This bears repeating: they'd rather the Seahawks lose to the Rams and miss the playoffs. Some "no" voters probably just find a playoff berth pointless for this team, while others are likely thinking about which pick the Seahawks will get in the 2011 draft. The Times' Danny O'Neil, though, puts that in perspective:

    I wonder how many of them were true Seattle fans? Polls can be very selective, I wouldn't pay much heed to them.

    i can understand it to be honest, in fact i think it suggests a smarter fan and more dedicated fan, they would rather suffer now and be a winning team in the long run then get into the playoffs through a fluke of the rules

    it is of course distasteful to suggest deliberately losing a game but lets say the team that gets the pick they would have gotten if they lost manages to find an absolute star, a game changer who carries the franchise for 5 years then what is that (probable) first round knockout in the playoffs this year worth?
