There's your ballgame.

Well if any coach needed a video on how not tackle the Saints just provided them with one there.

Good to see for Carroll but unbelievable the Saints played that poorly today. Should have been an easy win for them and they played like they thought that.

This is the most exciting NFL game I've watched in a long time. Love the fans in Seattle.

Or the most missed tackles. Greer was looking for the strip instead of a tackle, Porter the same, c'mon man. Just make the tackle!! Saints D was an absolute embarassment today, I'm beyond disgusted with those guys.

Unreal run by Lynch. Is there a player he didn't shake?

Still I'm shocked that GB didn't make a move for this guy

i can tell you're a saints fan but you cant deny the ridiculous nature of that run. it literally had me jumping around and cheering. and im alone in my basement watching this game.

That was an awesome stiff arm to get some distance there! What a great run and such a pathetic effort by the Saints D today.

When it's your team though and it's the playoffs...it's hard to find enjoyment in watching your season end. It's great to be a third party with no investment in this game but that couldn't have been fun being a Saints fan.

Brees giving Saints some life

Ya as I was saying earlier, I'm really envious of NFL fans who aren't emotionally invested in this game. It's been open heart surgery for me.

EDIT: lol how's that for your first ever NFL carry? Even if we had won this game we weren't going anywhere, that's 7 RB's out. Doesn't make it any less painful though. I must say I really like Pete Carroll, always have.

It can be an exciting run and terrible tackling by the defense all in one run.

Outside of the straight arm to Greer that run was 90% terrible tackling by the Saints.

Full marks for Lynch for keeping his legs moving to take advantage and for the straight arm though.

theonlywhiteout · 01-08-2011, 05:56 PM

I should preface my comment with that 1, I am a huge Lynch fan, and 2, I am a bit of a Seahawks fan in so far that I have to watch them a lot and cheer them on. Vikings are still my team tho.

I'd love to see the Seahawks take it to the Super Bowl tho, what a great underdog story

DuffMan · 01-08-2011, 05:57 PM

and that's why they play the game.

J pold · 01-08-2011, 05:58 PM

Wow.

What a run, what an awful display of tackling. I hate the Seahawks but good for them, just embarrassing for the Saints.

Erick Estrada · 01-08-2011, 05:59 PM

Great game. I'm no fan of either team but I'm not really happy about the 7 win team getting through. Hats of to the Hawks though for taking advantage of one of the worst defensive performances by a playoff team in a long time. Embarrassing effort by the Saints defense and Greg Williams.

browna · 01-08-2011, 06:02 PM

Yeeehaw!
As the sign said...."SEA THAT?"

Pagal4321 · 01-08-2011, 06:02 PM

That will probably go down as one of the greatest playoff runs in playoff history. Missed tackles or not, the whole freaking Seattle offense was down the field trying to throw a block.

J pold · 01-08-2011, 06:03 PM

Go Jets!

Sainters7 · 01-08-2011, 06:04 PM

Great win for the Seahawks(obviously), Hass somehow chanelled his '05 self today. I love Pete Carroll too, he had a heck of a game plan. Congrats to them.

As for the Saints, I'm beyond disgusted with that D. O played admirably considering how undermanned they were (but i never want to see our OT's Stinchcomb and Bushrod start another game for this team. EVER). But the D only had one guy out and they still crapped the bed. That run by Lynch with the 50 whiffs summed up their whole game. 41 points against the Seahawks??? Roman Harper especially, I'm looking at you. Hang your head in shame.

Alright I'm out, it's my dad's bday and I gotta pick up the girlfriend and pretend in front of both of them that I'm not in a miserable mood, good times. Peace.
