the thing that bothers me though is that media pundits praise other teams who run a similar offense while saying the "it will never work in the NFL" when talking about the skins. Just stupid.

I was thrilled to see the Seahawks lose -- trash-talking, classless jerks that they are. And I cannot decide whether losing in the heartbreaking fashion that they did or getting entirely stomped would have been better, but regardless, I was pleased the Falcons didn't choke. The Seahawks have been a complte thorn in our side for ages now. It doesn't bother me as much when a really good team plays well and beats us but seems to respect us as an adversary. But the cheap stuff that occurred throughout the wild card game, coupled with the trash talking beforehand really irked me. I am hoping that they have a massive sophmore slump with Wilson under center next year and start in-fighting. (Unfortunately, that probably won't happen -- to the contrary, they looks scary good right now.)
