KenJennings Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I dislike that division winners automatically get home field advantage over wildcard teams. I don't have a problem with the way they're seeded, but better record should always get home field advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 With a first and goal from the 5yd line, Carroll the Idiot chooses not to give Beast Mode a try... Given a do-over thanks to an Eagles roughing the passer penalty, Carroll reconsiders and the Hawks take the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Really too bad about them Cheatriots, innit? Yeah. The offense really didn't play well We'll see if they rebound next season, as they usually do. Do you think Tommie boy will still be their QB? Hard to say. I can't think of a team right now that he would be a good fit for, and the Patriots don't have his heir ready to go, unless Stidham has done things in practice I don't know about. But he's looking for a lot of money, and he'll be 43 when next season starts. Still, I can't imagine he wants to go out with that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Lesson of the week, on Wild Card Weekend, never get on a team with a team with a QB that's over 40, or with the name of Josh. He did well, considering his age and the sudden fill in he had to make. Kind of falls in line with the being "the year of injuries" for the Eagles. That helmet to helmet hit on Wentz deserved a targeting call, though. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerxt1990 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) We probably would have lost anyway, but Carson Wentz got a concussion and knocked out of game on a dirty, purposeful helmet to helmet hit by Jadeveon Clowney. Are the Seahawks immune to penalties or suspensions by the NFL's own rules? Just asking because heaven forfend this happened at new England I'm sure he would have been led out in cuffs. "NFL referee Shawn Smith's response to a pool reporter question on Jadeveon Clowney hit on Carson Wentz and why a penalty wasn't called: "He was a runner and he did not give himself up. We saw incidental helmet contact, and in our judgement, we didn't rule that to be a foul."" Watch the replay - no f-cking way that's incidental. These refs are f-cking morons.

There was ZERO valid reason for that hit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, having the benefit of instant replay, it's much easier to make a call instead of as it's happening, along with everything else. Not sure how you make the jump to Pete Carroll encouraging dirty play, other than maybe a little butthurt that the Iggles lost. This site shows they are no different than the league average in the penalties that you seem to be saying they are guilty of, while the Eagles are quite a bit above the average in unnecessary roughness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not butthurt, Seahawks a better team. Over the years some of his his d players have been known to play dirty. I have no beef with them losing, but that "lowering the head" when hitting someone isn't the thing here, he was trying to knock him out of the game. And while not playing the conspiracy card, yeah Eagles play tough, but also play rough with protected snowflakes lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxt1990 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The Seahawks 11 wins were also far more significant in their tough division. The Iggles were reduced to a practice squad (Id actually be concerned if I was a Seattle fan that they only won 17-9 against a team w no starting QB, WRs, RBs, small number of lineman and d backs) who on top of that didnt play well til December in arguably one of the NFLs worst divisions.
