There is only one nation involved in the NFL

Nation is what the fan bases call themselves. So Who Dat? Nation is New Orleans (who dat being their rallying cry), but you also have Steeler Nation, et cetera.

All joking aside, if the insane amount of no-hold penalties of the pre-season carry over into the regular one, it might make things a little bit harder for the Seattle secondary, which was, shall we say, at times quite physical last season.

Seattles first three games will be interesting in that regard with Denver and the Packers coming to town. The end stretch, with 2x Cardinals, 2x 49ers, Eagles and Rams (okay, provided they somehow miraculously still have something to play for in week 17) is also not exactly a walk in the park.

The Patriots, as much as I detest them, could be good this year (by which I mean deep into the play-offs, not the almost guaranteed 11+ wins in the regular season). The Colts are a very decent team and could be going places if they find a way to beat Denver.
As a couch potato supporter, I am moderately optimistic about New Orleans, especially if the defense forces a few more turnovers while keeping the pressure from last year on.

In the last two pre-season games ( Weeks 2 & 3 ) when starters play for longer ..... ZERO penalties by Seattle's starting secondary .... hmmmmm !

I was just responding to Tapper's very relevant observation of the way officials have been calling penalties this pre-season. Penalties called in games have more than doubled this year!

It would seem that the league would rather you watch a game that ends 45-42 with no defence played what-so-ever.

After Peyton Mannings Bronco team were mauled 43-08 in the Super Bowl, after breaking every record going for offensive football, passing yards, td's etc it was obvious that the Seahawks must be a bunch of cheaters who held/grabbed opposing WR's all the time to prevent them scoring.



Clearly the nasty Seahawks player is not meant to touch the other player and must let him run and score at will.

However

Although the officials clearly were emphasizing some of the new rules in the pre-season, the changes most associated with the Seahawks ie-- defensive holding and contact after five yards on receivers -- weren't much of a factor for the Seattle defense in our last 2 games with the starters NOT Penalized once in the last 2 games.

I know it's preseason but the last couple of games have been slightly encouraging...

Are you talking baseball perhaps ???

The San Francisco 49ers can finally start planning for life without Aldon Smith.

The NFL on Friday announced a nine-game suspension for Smith for violating the league's policy on personal conduct and substances of abuse. Smith will be eligible to return for the Week 11 game against the New York Giants. The 49ers have a Week 8 bye.

It's the second consecutive season in which Smith will miss several games unrelated to injury. He was out five games in 2013 following a DUI arrest when he voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility.

Smith, 24, has had a long list of off-field transgressions. He received a 12-day sentence and three years of probation in July following a no-contest plea to three felony weapons charges and two misdemeanor DUI charges. The weapons charges (and one of the DUI charges) were in connection to a 2012 party at Smith's residence where he was stabbed.

Smith also made waves this year when he was accused of making a bomb threat to a TSA agent at Los Angeles International Airport, but charges weren't filed.

Perhaps your encouraged by kraperdicks record setting numbers this pre-season .... Kaepernick has completed 12 of 22 passes in the preseason for 115 yards with no touchdown passes or interceptions and two carries for 13 yards and a lost fumble.

Russell Wilson on the other hand ... In the first half of the last two games, quarterback Russell Wilson completed 24 of 30 passes for 295 yards with two touchdown throws and three rushing scores. You can't play much better than that,
In the first half of the last two preseason games with starters on the field, Seattle outscored the San Diego Chargers and the Bears 55-7. The Seahawks scored on all nine first-half drives in those two games with 510 yards of offense.

Good luck Whinners !

[Shinrei]

I think I'll let Thursday night determine how much shit-talkin' I'll be able to bring.

Personally, I think the Packers are going to make the Seerats look silly.

Oh, and everyone come over and play Pick'em football.

[Grumble]

Another season of great NFL action starts Thursday Night.

Here are some of the sights and other things we will be talking about till it's all over next February !

[Grumble]

17 - 10 Seahawks at the half !

Not a fan of Earl Thomas returning punts .... why put the best safety in football at risk like that .... gotta take the fair catch and be smarter.

Packers points all from Seattle errors.

On the plus side .... 100 yards rushing at the half !

Percy Harvin ... wow ... if you drafted him in fantasy you better be playing him !

So,

Ny hope of the Packers doing something to puncture Grumbles smugness came to nothing.

[twelve]

And Rodgers laying a fantasy egg in the first game of the season doesn't bode well me moi.
