No Lynch, Rawls steps up big. But now no Rawls. No Graham. O-line not as strong as last year. Wilson had compensated for all the lost talent elsewhere but he came back to earth last week. Seattle is like the horse capable of the 110 Beyer but might is also capable of throwing an 88.

Good analogy with the Beyers. We could also say that they have some "back class." Last week was a great example of what happens when they have a bad match up with a team that has a good front four d-line. This week's game against Arizona will be interesting. Seattle lost at home when they blew a 4th quarter lead. Arizona's blitz's cause problems for lots of teams, but it is really their offense that has them on top of the division. Both teams have something to play for: Arizona potentially the top seed in the NFC and Seattle the five seed in the playoffs (strange to think of that as something to play for).

You are extremely articulate with the written word. This is not indicative of a English being a second language in my opinion. You speaking Greek as a first language is not as surprising. You indicate that you are from "Chicagoland." If my information is correct, there is a large Greek population in Chicago. In fact, it is my understanding that the majority of restaurants in Chicago are Greek-owned.

Yes...this is true. The majority of the restaurants in Chicago are Greek-owned. But I hold most of my Greek conversations at racetracks and OTBs.

There is a good reason for that. When these Greek owners were growing up in Greece...they were all HUNGRY.

From my original question, posed a few months ago, I think we can emphatically say yes. Best team in NFL, IMO, for 3 years straight, yet only one SB win. RIP. It was an embarrassing swan song.

I guess they didn't do a good enough job with their spycams and deflated footballs. Maybe next year.

Maybe not dead yet. Did people really think it was over at 31-0? I didn't.

Hence, my comment. It ain't ever over 'til it's over. I wouldn't walk away from my team so easily.

In college, no (see Oregon/TCU). In the NFL? Yes. I know the Panthers nearly blew a 28 point lead vs the Giants, but they did still end up winning that game. Too much to overcome in the NFL.
