lol, love that signature. Have you seen the game pass commercial?


2016 NFL Game Pass Commercial - Streamable
It's beautiful. Brings a tear to my eye.

And that video/sig is precisely the reason they need to sit him this week. Injuries on both legs, just not worth the risk for the fucking Jets in the fourth game of the season. I'd probably sit him half the year lol

I hope Rawls can recover. Really hope he doesn't end up being one of those guys who's constantly injured, man that would suck. C Mike was awesome yesterday but I don't know how consistent he can be. Definitely gonna have to draft someone unless there's another Lynch sitting on the bench in Buffalo they can swoop up.

On some good news, Pete is expecting Ifedi to be back next week VS the Jets

With Ifedi back, the line starting to gel a little better, i think c mike has a shot at breaking 100 yards again so yeah Wilson needs to sit. If the fucking Broncos and Patriots can win with trevor siemians and whoever the hell was that third stringer the Patriots used this week , we can do the same. We have an elite defense

home field advantage will be critical in the playoffs imo, so not expecting much this year, we'll see how the 2nd half plays out.
It's a long season and I'm sure a lot of teams are going through early season struggles and it's going to be a lot different by the end of the year, but still, as far as the NFC is concerned I don't see any real dominating teams that Seattle couldn't beat on the road with the way their defense is playing.

Vikings 3-0
Panthers 1-2
Cardinals 1-2
Packers 2-1
Falcons 2-1
Philly 3-0

Those are the top teams with Seattle but the only team I wouldn't want to face on the road is the Vikings again but they've taken some big hits Adrian Peterson out for season most likely, Bradford who knows how he'll do, etc. Of course home playoff games are huge but it's not the end of the world to go on the road this season.

Anyway, I guess they're saying Wilson was a Full Participant in practice today, running around like usual so it appears he's going to play. Germain Ifedi had limited participation and may play against the Jets.

They also are signing CJ Spiller, since Rawls is going to be out for a couple more weeks at least.

Remember when Spiller had hella hype out of college and shown SOME promise early in his career? What a waste.

Even before getting hurt, Russell Wilson wasn't great; Jets have nothing to fear

A one-legged Russell Wilson is as useful as a right-handed Jim Zorn, which basically means Pete Carroll’s offense is screwed if the Seahawks quarterback doesn’t magically heal in the next few days.

Wilson isn’t nearly as awesome as his Puget Sound loyalists believe, so it’s ludicrous to think that he’ll be able to hobble into MetLife Stadium on a gimpy left knee and right ankle on Sunday and have his way with the Jets.

Strip away the myth and here’s the unvarnished truth about the Seattle signal caller: He’s very good, not great. He can’t touch Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger and a few others.

Wilson is a nice second-tier quarterback with occasional improvisational superpowers. He’s much closer to Batman than Superman.

Wilson, whose effectiveness is rooted in his mobility, is ordinary if he doesn’t pose a viable run-pass threat. He suffered a right high-ankle sprain in the season opener before spraining his left MCL last week.

Bruce Wayne without the Batmobile strikes fear in nobody. Who’s afraid of some rich guy driving around in a Prius?

Although Carroll said Wednesday that he’d be “surprised” if Wilson didn’t play against the Jets, it’s likely that the quarterback will be less than 100 percent. Wilson has started all 77 games in his career, including the playoffs, and didn’t miss a snap until last week, but Week 4 is not the time to play the role of tough guy and risk further damage.

Wilson’s legend has grown precisely because of his innate ability to escape trouble in the pocket, which will be significantly limited given that human beings with MCL sprains need more than a handful of days to heal.

You think Sheldon Richardson, Mo Wilkerson and Leonard Williams feel sorry for Wilson because he has a boo-boo? Remember, Todd Bowles’ team was undressed last week in Kansas City. Compassion and empathy for the opponent doesn’t — and shouldn’t — exist. The Jets have their own problems at the moment.

“We’re not going to ease up on him if he’s not healthy,” Richardson told the Daily News. “If they’re going to run the zone-read, we got to treat him as if he can run, cut, jump and all that. ... We think that he’s still going to do the same thing as if he was 100 percent. If he makes one of us miss and buys time, that puts pressure on our DBs to cover longer. So we got to make sure we bring him down the first time.”

That should be much easier given Wilson’s current health situation and a suspect offensive line. It makes you wonder whether Carroll should shut him down with a Week 5 bye on the horizon. (Editor’s Note: He should).

Opposing defensive coordinators have spent countless sleepless nights through the years scheming to slow down Wilson, whose elusiveness will be hampered this week. It’s a dimension that has created some memorable plays in his first four seasons.

“I saw one play on film where somebody was coming from the back side,” Williams told the News. “He couldn’t see the dude, but I guess he could just feel him and he just rolled out and spun (away). That’s definitely something you have to account for pass rushing. At the same time, you don’t want it to slow you down. You don’t want to start hesitating. You still want to take your shot.”

Wilson is far from lost in the pocket.

“He’s a better pocket passer than he’s given credit for,” a NFC scout said. “It’s just that his athleticism out of the pocket creates a problem for defenses. So, that’s what teams try to take away.”

His success in the pocket, however, is buoyed by his ability to break contain and make plays with his legs. If a team puts a spy on Wilson (like the Jets did at times against Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor a couple weeks ago), there’s one fewer defender in coverage.

So, let’s not go Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs at Wilson’s statistics on throws inside the pocket last season, per ESPN Stats & Information: A league-best 118.6 passer rating, 72.8 completion percentage, 31 touchdowns, seven interceptions.

Those numbers are helped immensely by the threat of him taking off and running. He’s not frightening without that dimension. His injuries coupled with an offensive line in flux have resulted in an 88.5 passer rating and a career-low 7.5 yards per attempt through three games.

“He’s got a Super Bowl ring, so you can’t knock him on anything,” Richardson said. “He knows how to win. He’s gotten it done. They have a system over there that works for them.”

That system works best if Wilson is a dual threat. Otherwise, the Seahawks are in trouble.

A hobbled Wilson, of course, doesn’t guarantee anything for the Jets, who will face one of the stingiest defenses in the league.

But it sure doesn’t hurt.

^^^^^they read some of that on am radio this morning going to work, can't remember if it was 950 or 710. Anyways, I kinda want Wilson to play now just to shut this idiot up.

It's weird/stupid logic, that he only LED the entire NFL in passer rating from the pocket last year because he is a running threat? Ok, so that must apply to Aaron Rogers too and any other QB that can run? Because you certainly don't ever hear people say that, no one says Rogers or Drew Brees are only good from the pocket because they are athletic and can run if they want. Or is Tom Brady only good from the pocket cuz he's 6'4? I guess for some people no matter how many times Wilson proves he's elite it just won't be good enough. That's fine by me, I think I speak for most fans in the NW that I prefer our team and players being over looked, helps them keep that chip on their shoulders. Like even now I see people say Sherman is overrated and not a top 3 or even 5 CB in the league. Like really? He's proven it year after year and is probably the most consistent player on the defense and maybe even the entire team. Someone will catch a 8 yard quick pass on him and it's "what an overrated bum!". Zero TDs against him in a year, fucking bum. Then it's he only plays one side of the field, that's why his numbers are good, then last year when Williams was shit, they had Sherman go everywhere right side, left side, even in the nickel and he's still a bum lol.

I also liked how he said, "He can’t touch Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger and a few others." The "few others" undoubtedly means he ran out of names lol.
