In fairness, those quotes from Merriweather are tongue in cheek. He's frustrated and he's got a point. The worst hit in last week's game was the one on Reed Doughty on the onside kick and yet there was no flag and no retrospective punishment. Doughty was every bit as defenceless as either Marshall and Jeffrey were on Merriweather's hits and yet the NFL reckons the headshot he took, the one that kept him out of this week's game, was OK. The rules suck. Either let 'em play or make all headshots illegal.

Merriweather is a moron and deserves whatever suspension he gets. Plenty of players have learned a method of tackling that doesnt involve launching headfirst every single time.

Vollmer is having surgery on his broken right leg today, and is gonna be out for the season.

Another tough one to take

The loss of Mayo is killing us in the run game, we could sort of get by without Wilfork reasonably well, but coupled with Mayo going we just get gashed down the middle.

Still hopefully Talib comes back this week, although there's no need to rush him

And so the bandwagon continues roll. He's not as bad as is being made out. He does need to learn to tackle differently given the NFL today but he's not the only guy to get pulled up for hitting players in the head so people really need to stop acting like he is. I probably have more sympathy for him then others because when I first started watching football, guys like Steve Atwater and Ronnie Lott were my heroes. Neither of those guys were strangers to a helmet to helmet hit.

Scrappy scrappy win for Seattle last night, that O-line must do better, Wilson sacked 7 times last night

by BamBam Tue 29 Oct 2013, 10:33 am

Rams do have a very good pass rush, it's probably the best part of their team, but doesn't make sense for Seattle to struggle that badly up front, especially when you consider how good Wilson is at evading defenders

Both starting tackles are out. They've been struggling all year but Wilson has been escaping the pocket and avoiding sacks. The Rams did a great job of containing Wilson in the pocket.

Rams exposed a few of Seattle's flaws last night. But they have a pretty easy schedule this year so don't see more than one or two losses

Pretty much everyone has a pretty easy schedule though. There just aren't enough good teams to go around this year. The 4-4 Cowboys are the best win on both the Broncos and Chiefs records so far.

The Seahawks don't look as strong away from home. Had the Rams had Bradford at QB they may have won last night.

by mikeygnfl Tue 29 Oct 2013, 4:16 pm

The AFC West teams had something like 4 of the top 5 easiest schedules this season.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 5:03 pm

Seahawks making a push for Jared Allen according to Schefter. Vikings are open to trading him.

by Lowlandbrit Tue 29 Oct 2013, 5:13 pm

Do the Seahawks have a deal in place where they get first shot at Vikings players or something?

by mikeygnfl Tue 29 Oct 2013, 5:44 pm

First Harvin, now Allen. Who next Ponder?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 6:07 pm

Well according to Jay Glazer Seattle ARE NOT in for Allen, but two other teams are. Conflicting reports

by mikeygnfl Tue 29 Oct 2013, 6:57 pm

NFL trade deadline day + a lot of excitement + a lot of trade rumours = Nothing happening.

by GSC Tue 29 Oct 2013, 7:06 pm

Just like every other trade deadline. Dunno why people keep forgetting this

by NYJ Tue 29 Oct 2013, 7:44 pm

Seattle have a Super Bowl window and they are doing everything possible to strengthen their team and make the final push. I respect the hell out of that front office.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 7:48 pm

Jay Glazer ‏@JayGlazer
Eagles trade Isaac sopoaga and a 6th to patriots for a fifth rounder

Gives us much needed help at DT

by Bull Tue 29 Oct 2013, 8:00 pm

The Pats suck Olly.

by GSC Tue 29 Oct 2013, 8:02 pm

Soapoaga did nothing here. Surprised they got anything tbh. Thornton and geathers both outplayed him

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 8:21 pm

Eh it's a low risk move, veteran guy will help us against the run. Another body on a depleted line can't hurt

He's giving the Forrest Whittaker eye.

by Lowlandbrit Thu 31 Oct 2013, 12:15 pm

Jonathan Martin has apparently walked away from the Dolphins after some sort of emotional breakdown.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 31 Oct 2013, 9:02 pm

Quite looking forward to the game tonight, should be a decent one. I'm still refusing to believe in Cincy

Also some ex-player said a few things on twitter that caused a stir earlier

by mikeygnfl Fri 01 Nov 2013, 1:20 am

What was Lamar Miller doing there? He just went on a 40 yard run, had the endzone clear on his left but turned back in to the two Bengals defenders and Dunlap forced a fumble.

by GSC Fri 01 Nov 2013, 8:14 am

Geno Atkins done for the year with an ACL tear. Massive loss

by BamBam Fri 01 Nov 2013, 8:29 am

Ouch, that's huge for the Bengals.

Didn't see the game, but what a run by Bernard, that was like Barry Sanders back in the day!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 01 Nov 2013, 9:25 am

Ah Andy Dalton welcome back

by BamBam Fri 01 Nov 2013, 10:01 am

Was he rather bad?

by **Pr4wn** Fri 01 Nov 2013, 8:41 pm

Justin Blackmon suspended indefinitely. Didn't see that one coming.

by GSC Fri 01 Nov 2013, 8:45 pm

Trying to get himself kicked off the Jaguars.

Fair play

by Lowlandbrit Fri 01 Nov 2013, 9:54 pm

So you're saying they might not make the play-offs after all?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 02 Nov 2013, 8:37 pm

Tommy Kelly now placed on IR for the season. Man that sucks

Zach Sudfeld now has more receiving yards from Josh Cribbs than Tom Brady

by crazy_dave23 Sun 03 Nov 2013, 7:15 pm

Sudfeld... you still love him :p
