Wild card weekend game thread: Seahawks @ Cowboys

[Betterthanmost]

Nothing would please me more to see the Seahawks pull this game out of their asses and see Jerrah's face after it.

I thought his celebration was a bit early, I thought about Arthur Blank there.

 

[Froob]

What was THAT?

 

[Arialgg]

What the hell was that. Lol

 

[pheenix11]

Losing their kicker really bit them in the ass

 

[Fixit]

What in the holy **** was that?

 

[WaterfallJumper]

There's your all pro punter.

 

[robbomango]

What was that lol

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

What kind of kick was that.. lol

 

[Betterthanmost]

Really? What the **** was that? I mean I have never kicked before but I will have just kicked it hard at the defense and hope for a scramble.

Re Allen Hurns injury- I had what looks like a twin injury 6 years ago- I fell off a horse (although I rode dressage as a teen,I hadn’t been on a horse in 8 years) I hit the ground with my right leg, when I lifted my leg off the ground, my ankle was hanging down- looked like it had literally broken off. Broke my fibia in two places, tore all the ligaments in my ankle & fractured the ankle in 3 places-had a titanium rod with 11 little screws in my leg, 4 large titanium screws in my ankle- I had the 4 large screws removed but still have the rod- I was able to jog, jump rope & run 6 months after surgery. The only difference was its appearance (its slightly “thick” looking ) & I cannot bend it enough to wear 4+ inch heels.
If Hurn has as great of a surgeon as I did, he’ll probably be back- could be early-mid season.
One nasty side effect- I’m in my early 30’s & it developed early onset arthritis. It randomly swells & stiffens, but doesn’t keep me from working out, running, etc.

For Seattle too many penalties, injuries, and poor performance.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

How can they not believe the punter can try an onsides kick? No way it could go worse than THAT

 

[moejr]

Feel bad for Seattle

You were lucky, good for you.

That should have been a nail biter ending. Instead phantom call by the refs on a critical 3rd down against the seahawks. It's the playoffs for crying out loud.

 

[TB_Helmet]

I now have a financial stake in Dallas winning.

I had Dallas -2. I didn’t win because Janinkowski got hurt and instead of kicking a FG or XP at the end like they normally would have, they went for TD and 2 point. So I pushed. I hate gambling.

 

[AQPE]

FWIW, the new kickoff rules begun this season have made the successful onside kick a near impossibility since the kickoff team can’t get a running start like they used to.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

If you can do a drop kick, can’t you kind of angle it pretty high in the air maybe 20 yards from LOS? Maybe that’s what they were trying to do but didn’t get under the ball enough?
