Well this has started badly for Seattle.

Kawann Short dominated on both of those plays.

Kawann Short is manhandling the Seahawks OL.

Excellent awareness by Jared Allen. Didn't get a stat on that play, but he got the sack for Short.

Is there a reason Carolina is wearing road uniforms at home ?

 

[508mikey]

Go Seahawks

[BadJerry20]

Home team gets to pick, but Carolina hasn't historically had a "home" uniform. I like their blue jerseys and the all black look they'll break out from time to time.

lol a blowout and commercial fest --- is it 3 pm ct yet ?

Yeah I prefer the dark jerseys at home -- I dont know why any team would want to copy the Cowboys

I wish they would shut up about the field. Doesn't seem to be bothering the Panthers very much.

got them on mute -- to many commercials to keep the sound on -- Fox sucks for NFL games

Isn't this the first time since Russell Wilson was at NC St that his team hasnt had a lead?

 

[Regulator]

Keep Pounding!

 

[Plecoptera]

I expected Carolina to win today but to be up 31-0 before the half is a little surprising. I figured Seattle would play better than this.

Twss? Lol

I typically mute commercials. The National Championship game was ridiculous with the amount of commercials. I think more time was spent broadcasting adds than on the actual game.

Because both teams got a chance on offense. It's most definitely better than the current setup where one team may never get the chance on offense.

What difference does it make if they got the ball one time if all they can do is tie then lose by a FG without another chance to tie or win?

I didn't like sudden death that ended with a FG on the first possession but I don't really have a problem with it if the first team scores a TD. The defense just needs to get a stop.

The only way it would be completely fair is just play out the full 15min like it Is another 4th Q. The problem there is ties in the regular season would be more common and as I said, the NFL, the coaches, and players all want OT to be quick.

We're just going to have to disagree. The current system is better than winning by a FG but still inferior to both teams getting 1 offensive possession. That's still more fair than the current system. To me it's a pretty big difference.
