LOL I know! The one week I thought they would play well they completely blow it. I was happy to see your Texans win though. They blew the titans out!

JJ Watt & Arian Foster are beastly week in, week out. Who is your team?

I know, there are some reall all stars on that team. If they had a solid QB they would be deadly.  I will defintley be rooting for them when they verse the Eagles next week XD! My team is the Giants by the way.



           Survivor Millennial vs Gen X!!

LOL I bet Randle doesn't get many touches after that. That was 100% his fault.



Wow another helmet-first spear and no flag. Is that suddenly a totally legal move now?

I don't think you have to worry.

Mhm...

Is it wrong that I feel an urge to smash your head on a desk?

It'd be wrong if you didn't

Hahaha it's okay. It's very early.



what a catch



Washington really gambles hard with those all-in blitzes. All it takes is one quick over the middle for a huge burn. They've been super lucky so far though.



The relationship between the Seattle Seahawks and running back Marshawn Lynch has become increasingly strained.

On Sunday, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that this would be Lynch's last year in Seattle. The report was seconded by SI's Peter King and others. Lynch is owed $7 million next year, but Mortenson says the salary is only part of the reason Lynch won't be back. 

"The organization has grown tired of his ways, including pulling a no-show at the White House Super Bowl ceremony, his training camp holdout, and his possible contribution to locker-room distractions," Mortenson reports.

There also appears to be a personal rift between Lynch and head coach Pete Carroll. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said on Sunday that Lynch and Carroll don't speak:

He has a tense relationship with coach Pete Carroll that much we know; does not communicate with Carroll, does not communicate with general manager John Schneider, really just keeps to himself and keeps to his teammates.

Carroll initially took a hardline stance when Lynch held out of training camp this summer, telling reporters, "It's a contract for a reason."

The Seahawks eventually made a minor concession to end the holdout, giving Lynch an extra $1.5 million in 2014-2015 salary, but the contract showdown reportedly created animosity between the two.

"Sources close to Lynch say he harbors bitterness towards the Seahawks Commander in Chief, Pete Carroll, the residual effects of a training camp holdout and organizational proclamations his workload would be reduced," NFL Network's Mike Silver said on Sunday.

Carroll predictably downplayed the general perception that his team had issues inside the locker room after Sunday's ugly 13-9 win over Carolina:

The things that have been said have been said on the outside. We have no problem. No problem. Whatever the conversation is that’s the job of the media to try to figure stuff out. That’s not what’s going on here. I have no problem. It was not a distraction at all. Our guys don’t care about what’s being said. We’ve been prepared all year that there would be stuff like this, there would be controversy, there would be storylines that would try to get in between us. We’re fine. That isn’t the adversity. The adversity is we’re 3-3. That’s the adversity. We haven’t played as well as we wanted to. We had three really close games that we didn’t finish and we needed to finish a football game. Again, that’s why we’re so proud to take this one on the road today.

Lynch, in classic Lynch fashion, had this to say after the game:

The Lynch-Carroll story comes on the heals of the team's ugly breakup with Percy Harvin.

 

 

 

Zelhawks, why can't your team behave itself all of a sudden?



The thing about being the divisional leader is that the rivals play against you like it's the superbowl lol.
