lol. failhawks

That ball was snapped before :00. Should be a seahawks TD. Watch it again, they get the snap off.

You mean according to the unofficial Fox game clock?

 

[Kyle]

doubt they had their offense set though- doesn't it have to be like a second or something w/out moving before snap? Admittedly I'm not that familiar w/ that rule so could be wrong

 

[BUTCH1]

Somewhere an English teacher is crying.

Anyway, if Seattle scores here at the end of the half, then the game's still on. If not, then...

Edit: That was inelegant. I'll be shocked if Seattle comes back from this one.

Probably, but Grammar-Nazi in a football thread, geez...

yea if your line isn't set for at least 1 full second and snap the ball it is a penalty.

There's a difference between nitpicking grammar and cringing at borderline literacy.

Seattle has to come out of the break and punch Atlanta in the mouth.

 

[spidey07]

Ok, they showed the actual game clock (missed it by not even a 1/10th of a second) along with not being set for 1 second. Refs got it right.

No. He's probably curled up in a corner somewhere crying over how stupid he looks now. It's one thing to be confident in your team, it's another to run your mouth like someone who knows something when in fact, you know nothing.

 

[diesbudt]

so if my picking skills hold true from yesterday that means the texans and falcons are winning today. 0-2 yesterday on my picks but glad i was wrong for the ravens win

So far I would say you are on your way to 0-3.

Way to go!

I agree, down 20-0 is a tough battle on the road, IMO the Hawks look dead-legged today, those cross-country flights can't be helping their rest cycles..

 

[BUTCH1]

OK, now it's a game again!

 

[Kyle]

man if only they had gotten 7 before the half...

*edit*
but I agree- game far from over

Yea, he went WAY over the top, I don't see him posting here ever again, everyone told him Baltimore had what it took to make it a close game but he kept on harping about the Denver D while remaining oblivious that they played a LOT of crappy teams piling up all those wins..

Game is never over till the end. However if falcons can respond quick enough...

 

[KentState]

I'm nervous about the 2nd half fade I've seen all year.

Yea. I mean MOST of us saw denver as the clear favorite, but we understood that there were still chances for the ravens to win. He went over confident how there was 0% chance and many other things. I kept saying Baltimore didn't get into the playoffs by picking a name from a hat, and that the bye week can kill momentum.

And Seahawks usually come back strong in the second half, but Atlanta still looking good, at least on this drive

 

[diesbudt]

Yea, it normally happens because the team winning may think they don't have to adjust as much on strategy and do not. Then the losing team comes out with a whole new strategy and the game changes completely.

Hell, look at the Ravens game. You had 10 people here saying "it's over for the ravens, ravens lose" with a full minute of game time left.

In football it's NEVER over till 00:00

 

[Kyle]

Wow the Seahawk's defense is struggling...

Oh yea. Clearly I was thinking "damn, well close game ravens. That must have shut some critics up"

and then... the amazing happened.

However last night when packers fell by 21 points with only a few minutes left in the 4th is also a good indicator it is over.

When Atlanta is firing on all cylinders they are scary good. This is not bad Seattle defense - this is fantastic Atlanta offense.

and just like that, td falcons
