In that situation, I would have gone conservative, 13-3 is a heck of a lot better and it was early in the game. Dicey for Seattle.

(watch, I'll be wrong, Seattle will get a TD and then, get the opening kickoff of the 2nd half??, maybe)
Boy did SEA mess up their opportunities. At worst it should be 20-6, instead of 20-0.

ATL vs. SF would be an interesting match up for the NFC crown. Would it be in ATL?

He is fun to watch but the first half sure didn't end well for him (or his team).

... or at least to give it to Lynch on one of those carries!

LOL! You're looking right at this point since they just made a second trip into the red zone that came up empty.

Yes... and I agree, it would be an interesting matchup.

=----------------

Update, if Atl. gets another TD to make it 27-7, 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, think that is too big of a mountain to climb for Seattle, 27-10? Maybe a little different, Pete Carrol is an agressive attacking head coach but he probably should have gone for 3.... well, Seattle may hold them to 3, won't matter much though, they are in a hole and time is running down.

1st down inside the 10 for the Falcons.

What I like about the Seahawks, and Wilson in particular, is their ability to comeback from big deficits. This has turned into a good game!

Seattle down by 6. If they can stop them, they'll have another shot at it...

Longwell for the lead!

Still, Atlanta has had hardly any offense until this last drive in the 2nd half...

Seattle is awesome, if they had one of the FGs from the first half!! :)

65 yarder for Longwell!???
