are the seahawks not tackling because they dont want to get dirty or chip a finger nail?

It IS starting to look like they REALLY don't want to bother shelling out the cash for the plane tickets to Miami next February, doesn't it? I'm a lifelong fan and frankly I'm starting to get just a little disgusted......\n\nMaybe if they totally choke this year, I'll go with the Big Ugly Purple Crows, THEY sure know how to tackle........\n\n(Well, at last they did actually decide to play some football, at least Alexander did!)

Their running game must improve, and that's why they brought in the Edge. But they thought they had a good rookie last season, but he went nowhere because their offensive line on the run was horrible. It also cost Kurt Warner some injury time. If the offensive line can improve, especially on the run, they should be better. The defense must improve as well. But if the offense can score more points and hold onto the football more and for longer drives, this will help the defense out. They should be better and in a very poor NFC West divsion with the Super Bowl losers Seattle, they could win the division.\n\nBut many many people had Arizona as a surprise playoff team last year, and they didn't come anywhere near that.

The Seattle Seahawks are still the top team in the nfc because they retained the MVP Shaun Alexander and almost everyone else in addition to adding Nate Burleson. You really have to wait and see with the Carolina Panthers. If their running game breaks out, they could be the best team in the NFC, but the way it looks now, there are many question marks. Will Deshaun Foster recover from his latest injury? Will he stay healthy? Can he live up to his potential? And you can't expect DeAngelo Williams to make an impact his first season, although he does have the skills to be an immediate impact like cadillac. It should be fun to watch.

logic..and judge is gay....lol..Steelers..they win , they can stop the seahawks run..did you see how SA was shining the second half against the pan?..steelers d is not gonna lay down like that...the hawks have an antsy QB ,the blitz will be perfect..HAHAHAHAHA.....they(hawks have alot of talent, i see how under a great coach they have strived to be better..they deserve to be where they are....but did you see RoeRoe(QB) on fire!!!???!!he was in the zone and the oc was pulling out all the stops...i look forward to the super bowl two great teams and two of the most emotional coaches in the game..since they both had 30 plus points in the last playoff games.... this Extra Large(XL)Superbowl should be one for the ages!!....now the superbowl wait begins!! ...Ben AKA RoeRoe.. Super Bowl MVP!!

They have been calling it alot this year.  It further prevents defensive players from making a tackle and just laying on the opposing player running down the clock.  \n\nGood rule, but in this instance it was a bad flag.

They don't suck, they just lose a lot!  O-Line is the basis, but did you guys see all the injuries they had last year?!?!  Plus, Gafney was not helping Johnson (injured last year) at the WR position.  Carr is solid and he's getting the offense.  They lost most games by close margins last year and will surprise a lot for people this year once they pick up some guys to block.  They also play in an incredibly tough division (Colts, Jaguars, Titans in prior years) so don't expect them to boost their record with division creme puffs a la the Seahawks.

Its not violence. Really you think that???? Thats silly. They are trying to get the puck if that means to slam your oppenent into the wall then so be it.  Just like football when you tackel. There is alot more violence out on the streets we should worry about b4 hockey.\n\nHockey is the coolest sport, it goes to show how much a team really cares about their team mates, when someone gets checked then a fight breaks out its cuz that persons teammates are like H*ll no you ain't taking a cheap shot on our guy.\n\nGuess you gotta love it to get it.

They may rule the AFC, I'll give you that. In two weeks when The Seahawks spank The Steelers like they were their daddy then we will see who RULES.\nClose game---Seahawks by 10

No.  They lack opposable thumbs.  Plus they keep collapsing the scrum.  Mind you, they would be great in the tackle.

No. I think there were some bad calls, namely: \n\n1. The Seahawks push that was not a push - would have been a touchdown.\n2. The Steelers touchdown that didn't actually pass the line\n\nI was rooting for the Steelers but even I thought this was unfair. Would it have made a difference in the 11-point spread? I don't know. But I can understand if some Seattle fans are really pissed right now.

Also, on a punt (which is different than a kickoff) sometimes the punting team will be really close to the guy catching the ball by the time he is ready to catch it. He might be able to catch it, but he's going to get smeared and probably drop the ball. At that point, it's better to let it go.

Because they are a better team, Big Ben did not get in the enzone for that TD. Seahawks are better the (ref) let Steelers win Seahawks had TD's called back the oods where against them  playing so close to Pittsburgh the game was giving to the Steelers and if these so called football fans think other wise they need to go wacth it on video. The Steelers knew the game was given to them thats why you dont see much or hear much about it. Pittsburgh has not had a good team since Terry Bradshaw, Jack Lambert , Mean Joe Green Franco Harris, Lynn Swyan, and so on. Theres next year and it will not be played in DETROIT

Their is no doubt in my mind that the Seahawks are going to win this weekend.  They have a strong defense going against a weak offense (the Skins put up less than 150 yards against the Bucs),and Seattle has the league MVP in their backfield.  Lets not forget that Seattle's D isn't shaby either Seattle has the 7th best D in the league only giving up 16.9 points per game against a Washington offense that has only produced the 13th best scoring offense putting up 22.4 points a game.  Yes Washingtons D is better than Seattles but The Seahawks had the best Scoring Offense in the League this year scoring 28.2 points a game.  Look their is no chance the Skins will come out of Seattle with a win.

It's because they are so protected during a game of American football that if they even touch a football they would hurt themselves reallllllllly sore. Ya see although they appear to be big hunks of men when they are on the field, they only play for a short session each time before they are taken off to rest [ wouldn't want to over exert them now would we]  Actually they are really just wimps of men who couldn't last for a full 90minutes playing PROPER FOOTBALL.

the seahawks did not have and easy season. in the nfl there is no such thing as an easy season. just ask the world champion patriots team from last year, they lost to the shit hole team from miami, and so did denver at the very begining of this year. therasonseatle gets o repect is because e is no other team close to seattle. the next closest team is in cali. on top of that seattle doesnt have and amazing briliant media stars. seattle just has guys that want to play fotballl

I truly believe that the Seahawks' talented but young team would have no chance against the Steelers.\n\nThe Seahawks defense has not shown the ability to smother a top offense the way that Joey Porter and the Steelers have done.\n\nBen Roethlisberger won more playoff games in his rookie season than Matt Hasselbeck won in his career before this year. This is more of a reflection on the Seahawks in general than upon Hasselbeck, but that kind of experience is invaluable, and it is difficult to win a championship without it.\n\nThe Seahawks clearly have a one of the best NFL running backs in Shaun Alexander, but I believe that much of his success can be attributed to Coach Holmgren's version of the passing-based west coast offense. Therefore, it can be assumed that Pittsburgh can take the air out of Alexander's tires if they are able to fluster Hasselbeck to the degree that they were able to fluster Peyton Manning and Jake Plummer.

I sure do. The Carolina Panthers have a nice team this year. The seahawks are the only team that could challenge the Panthers in NFC and I don't think they'll make the playoffs this year. Somebody's gettin injured this year(MVP)
