Bob Costas' eyes look like they will never recover from that botched botox injection.

They asked Manning and Elway if Manning would start if he's healthy. Both of them refused to answer.

Imagine the MAX Level butthurt if Manning was healthy but had to play backup to Brock.

Also that terribly QB Wilson set an NFL record.
No doubt Wilson has been playing great, but let's not pretend he's been doing it against stiff competition. His last 5 games:

49ers (especially terrible defensively on the road)
Steelers
Vikings (who were down what, 5 defensive starters that game?)
Ravens
Browns

Now Wilson is doing what an elite QB should do against that level of competition, but I think a lot of his success has been a product of his O-Line playing a lot better. Seeing if his O-Line can keep it up next week against the Rams defensive front will be very telling if this recent streak by Wilson and the Seahawks is legit or just a product of a very easy stretch of the schedule.

So what is your point? Many of the great QB's have good Olines. When they stop playing like crap he plays better. It's almost like its related. Do the Browns have terrible lineman? I thought that was one of their only good aspects the last few years?

My point is if the Seahawks are going to go on a deep playoff run Wilson and especially the O-line needs to prove this recent stretch isn't fools gold, because they were kind of terrible not that long ago.

I agree, how ever this is happening exactly as it did the last 3 years for the Seahawks. They are late bloomers it seems like.

Seahawks had a pretty bad start last season too, but went on a run in the second half to win the division and almost the Super Bowl.

I'm absolutely amazed at the disparity of when NFL refs will call holding. Iupati barely gets a hand on the outside shoulder and it's a hold, but probably 20+ times a game an offensive lineman will have his arm wrapped around a guy's neck and nothing.

Well it was fucked up that Calais Campbell was making the timeout signal for a solid 5 seconds and not one of the refs saw it.

Anyways it would be nice if the Cards receivers would stop dropping these Palmer bombs.

...and blocking their own punt returns!
