Oh but some speak so highly of Betts being a #1. That is exactly why I say Betts is not the answer. We should have kept Mason. lol.

We got lucky there, but I'll take it.

Zorn's call to not run it and then kick the FG was horrific. No faith in the offense.

It's unfortunate, but at least the offense found it's stride today.

I liked the play call but you only make that call knowing you go for it if you don't get the first or score. Why we kicked is baffling to me. I think a little of Holmgren's poor game management must have seeped in.

Exactly. If you are going to kick on 4th down, you call your highest half yard conversion play on 3rd and a half yard. Which means you call a QB sneak.

You can't have a plan on the 3rd down call, and then totally change your mind on the 4th down call. That's ridiculous.

Yeah I am jusr surprised with Zorn's proven agressiveness that we didn't go for 4th and 6 inches. Really surprised me.

I like Kelly I think.

Good Win fellas.

A win is a win, but none come easy for this team. At least we're still in the hunt. If we can win one of either NY or Baltimore, that would be a HUGE plus.

Right now we can't afford to lose, we're hanging on to that 6th playoff spot with Dallas (7-4), Minny (6-5), and Atlanta (6-4) lurking. Dallas is playing an easy game at home vs. Seattle; Atlanta is playing @ San Diego, which is prob not bad since SD just got some relieve by the Denver loss so hopefully they'll be fired up; and Minnsota has an easy game @ Detroit. We slip, and these teams can grab that spot.

I love the win, but to barely beat seattle doesn't bode well for our chances to make the playoffs

Why? Is this figure skating, are some Russian judges scoring our performance? A win is a win is a win.

Seatle was holding all day. Almost every run play someone was holding. On kick offs I counted more push in the backs all day then I can count on one hand.

Oh and go Cardinals.

I noticed it a lot too. Not the normal no-call holds but a lot of just plain bad holds. The big Morris run in the first half came off of a big hold on Smoot. It was out in the open and obvious. They didn't call a hold all day did they?

The refs are as bad as I've ever seen them.
