Its hard to say that you're actually hoping for it to be a concussion versus some sort of neck injury. Carlson is alert and looked to be twitching his arms so hopefully that's a good sign.
Stupid to punt. Anyone think BB would punt there, regardless off the score, conditions, etc.?

Don't be afraid to punt, Pete Carroll.
It's OK. It can even be beneficial. That was the case in the regular-season meeting with Chicago when Seattle punted 10 times, its most of any this season. While Devin Hester returned one of those punts for a touchdown, the Seahawks did everything they could to put more yards between the Bears and the end zone. That's a good strategy considering Chicago's offense ranked 30th in the league in yards gained this season. So when Carroll gets one of his hankerings to go for it on fourth down, he should opt for discretion over valor and punt.
It's interesting, a Seattle sportswriter brought up the topic of 'punt or go for it' in a preview to the game column earlier this week:

I watched the Green Bay game last night...they're going to be a tough team. They're just relentless, and I'd have to say they're definitely the favorite to take the NFC at this point. Should the Pats advance, that's a rematch that worries me.
One thing to always be mindful of when watching NFC games. They are playing each other...
