I'm feeling real good about my Seahawks right now. Looking like they have the best defense in the league right now, and even though they had a mostly shaky offensive performance Sunday night (and last Sunday, for that matter), still beating the 49ers 29-3 was an impressive feat.

How quickly it all turns to Kraepernick.
Hey,
It's funny how quarterbacks catch all the blame! Never mind that they can only be effective when there is adequate offensive line play, balance between the rushing and passing attacks, and receiving corps than can run good routes, get open, and are in synch with the quarterback. There are a lot of teams lacking these elements, and their records show it. Being a Cowboys fan, I can surely relate to quarterback woes. Murray had a great rushing day yesterday, and Romo looked better than he has in a long time. Ultimately, quarterbacks have to have help!

This is exactly right. Last week against KC the Cowboys could not establish a running game so the KC defense knew Romo was going to do nothing but pass. When an Offense is one dimensional it's pretty easy to stop.
Kaepernick is having a prototypical Sophmore slump. Too much too soon for the young dude.

Oh, I know, I just couldn't resist the cheap and easy pun.
I would guess the Aldon Smith situation and the growing suspicion that Harbaugh might be losing his team are bigger factors, but Kaepernick was bound to struggle sooner or later with Crabtree (and now Davis) out. A more experienced QB can sometimes pull things together (Brady) but Kaepernick hasn't been through the lows yet.
Henry Melton, the Bears franchise player and three-technique beast who just so happens to wear the number 69, going down with a suspected torn ACL is salting what ended up being a slightly more-dramatic-than-it-needed-to-be vic over the Stillers. Oh well. The storyline I'm still fantasizing about (pause) is Trestman to have such great success in the L that it ushers in a new over-the-borders trend of the NFL becoming more CFL 'bout it. Not holding my breath. Bears heading to Detroit for Sunday and everyone seems to think the Lions will best Chicago on their good forsaken artificial turf. Maybe.

I'm just happy that I have Sunday Ticket so I can watch a real football team whenever DC goes full Deadskins.

so stoked on this! talk shit all you want about his 3.5 ypc avg but this is big time
Prediction: It won't amount to much. By the time Luck's Colts are ready to contend Richardson will be gone.
Richardson will open up the passing game, which will then open up the running game. Colts have a much better O-line than the Browns.
Respectfully disagree. See above.
Doesn't mean much. The Browns have one of the worst O-lines in the league. The Colts aren't much better, which is why Luck gets hit so much.
I will be very, very surprised if the Colts win more than 6-7 games this year.
KC's D is legit! If Jamal stays healthy, see you in the playoffs.
Yeah, they kicked my FF team's ass last night.

Plus Aldon is out indefinitely.
Readjusting expectations.
I heard Gore wasn't too pleased afterwards also... Wheels falling off?
no idea. dumb.
It's been confirmed. No more 69 for us this year :(
Man, these guys must be devastated.
Al Davis is definitely dead.

Dammit, Redskins. You're breaking my fucking heart over here.
