I didn't watch the Seahawks this year because I care too much. Now that I know how the season ends, I bought the games on DVD and I'm enjoying all the wins without the stress (and commercials).
Man, we look pretty sketchy in this game. Doug Baldwin caught an impossible throw, and Sidney Rice had a nice reception, but a Carolina punt reception turnover and a Carolina Unsportsmanlike penalty are the only reason we're in this one at all. Trailing 6-7 after 45 minutes and the Panthers look like they're just mowing us down. Cam has thrown some bad ones, but is always a running threat. Russell has coughed up a fumble in the red zone and killed another red zone possession with an Intentional Grounding. Wow, another Unsportsmanlike on Carolina; both of them were out-of-bounds players not immediately returning inbounds on the kickoff.
"There is a correction on the previous penalty enforcement." Whaaat. Ref awkwardly tries to explain the rules. Never seen that before. OK, re-kickoff, slightly better field position. Lynch is getting swallowed this game. Our whole team looks smaller than theirs. Nice catch by Tate. Woo, big run by Turbin! 15 yards, feels like a mile compared to what we've been doing. Wilson goes looooooonnnng.... Steven Williams gets two hands on it but can't complete. Doggone it man... How many chances like that are you gonna have? Oh, nevermind. Next down, Kearse - touchdown! Kearse's first NFL touchdown, says the announcers. Hawks go for two? Against this Carolina defense? I don't see this happening... throw is high, no good. Great touchdown throw, though. What was that, 40 yards of air? 43 say the announcers. Awesome.
Ted Ginn Jr. watches another kickoff bounce through the endzone. That would make... all of them so far. Maybe he's tired. Also I hear they sometimes hit you in football so I can see why he wouldn't like that. Ten minutes to go.
Facemask against Seattle. Yards yards yards. Sherman & Thomas knock it out! Seattle almost gets stood up behind their own 10 but Baldwin saves the day again. This Carolina audience keeps hooting. It's very odd. Not cheers or boos... just... hoots. Tate showing off. Wilson's first 300+ yard game ever? Really? He's been getting roughed up, too. Nice pass to Coleman for a first down. Lynch with a very pro run. Scrambling around, getting a few, running down time and getting tackled inbounds. Supastaah. A buck thirty left.
Now under a minute. Russ takes a knee and there's your ballgame.
Hawks win 12-7. Yay. =)
