If Seattle was to let go of Lynch, he will come home to Oakland, CA

It's a meaningless fan award, not the official league award.

There's a reason they've been a consistently shitty team for years.

[quote=KI Skins Fan;1106485]Can you believe that Mike McCarthy actually had the gall to fire his ST coach, after [U]nine[/U] years of service? He even mentioned the guy's wife by name in the announcement and "wished them well" (while doing them wrong).

What he did was morally bankrupt IMO because McCarthy himself was the key contributor to the Packer's loss. For starters, when the Seahawks scored on the fake FG the GB FG unit shouldn't even have been on the field. McCarthy should have kept his defense in the game to guard against what happened. Also, anybody can muff the catch of an onside kick. That's not about coaching.

McCarthy failed to grasp that his team needed to put up more points in the first half. If he had, he would have gone for it at least on the second 4th and goal they had. The worst that could have happened would have been they would have had Seattle pinned on their own 1 yard line.

Then McCarthy shut down the GB passing game (featuring his MVP candidate QB) way too early and it cost his team dearly.

Of course, if anyone should have been fired, it was McCarthy. But his is the NFL and, for NFL coaches, designating scapegoats to keep their own jobs is a way of life.

Good job, Mike! That was NFL scapegoating at its finest. BTW, nice touch mentioning the guy's wife as if you give a damn about his family.[/quote]

This has been a long time coming their ST was one of the if not the worst in the league. Not that McCarthy doesn't deserve some blame but the ST has been problematic all season.

Sorry dude, I totally thought your post was pure sarcasm after reading the first paragraph. What would the better option have been, to flip her the bird while he mentioned her? Unfortunately, I can believe that McCarthy was willing to fire his special teams coach after 9 seasons. It's a business. And you're absolutely right McCarthy would rather fire someone than put himself on the chopping block.

I still don't know why it took Tim Brown this long. All in all, that is a strong class.

Same reason it took Monk so long, always a logjam at WR.

How in the hell do Ron Wolf and Bill Polian get in before Beathard? Bethard's teams competed in 7 SB's winning 4. In case folks didn't know, he was with the Chiefs, the 70's Dolphins, Skins and Chargers.

[quote=Mattyk;1106384]I'll put the chances of this happening at 0.0[/quote]

looks like your right...



NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Seahawks have offered Marshawn Lynch "a huge contract extension that would keep him in a Seahawks uniform for years to come."
It's believed the deal would make Lynch the highest-paid running back in terms of annual average not named Adrian Peterson. It's a big swing of events after it's been rumored for the better part of a calendar year now that 2014 could be Lynch's final season in Seattle due to age, inflated salary, and edginess. Per RapSheet, the new deal would pay Lynch around $10 million next season.


wow

Re: Around the NFL Super Bowl Week
 

Man that's a ton of loot for a back heading into his 10th season. Should be interesting to see how they structure it. He could easily hit the wall in another season or two.

Re: Around the NFL Super Bowl Week
 

He's great but not worth 10 a year

Re: Around the NFL Super Bowl Week
 

Hes also a total dick.
I hope they keep him and he fuxxorz their salary cap.

Re: Around the NFL Super Bowl Week
 

I think it will basically be a one or two year deal. No way they are dumb enough to be stuck with a rb over 30 making 10 plus million.
