I don't blame anyone in particular, there was plenty of bad defense played in the first half and the offense seemed to be operating in slowmo, but they did what they could in the second half and made a game of it . I am sad, but very proud of this team. There has never been any quit in this team this season and it is such a young team. The future is bright.

I credit former Alabama WR Julio Jones.

Two tries for a yard in the Red Zone and no Marshawn Lynch ?

And calling a time out to "freeze" the kicker ?
"Prevent" defence in the final 30 seconds ?

I'm putting those directly at the coaching staff .

But that was still a pretty great game .
Seattle's for real .
NFC West is now the toughest in their conference .

Golden Tate begs to differ. 

Golden Tate Claims He Caught Final Hail Mary In Falcons Game

ATLANTA—Following the Seahawks' playoff loss to the Falcons, Seattle wide receiver Golden Tate reportedly insisted Sunday that he caught Russell Wilson's 48-yard desperation pass as time expired, claiming that the play should have been ruled a touchdown. "I had possession at the end. I absolutely did. I got in there under Julio Jones, I fought for the ball the whole way, and I came down with it," said Tate, adding that after briefly conferring at the back of the end zone, the referees "made the wrong call." "It's hard to tell because there's no perfect camera angle on the replay, but if you were there and you saw it up close, I clearly caught that ball. It was a legal catch." Pressed for further explanation, Tate claimed that while the pass was in the air, he slid inside Julio Jones's jersey, controlled the ball with two feet down, and then slid back out.

So the Seahawks lose DC Gus Bradley to the Jags and then immediately hire Dan Quinn as the new DC from the Gators (also a former Seahawk Dline coach). When Quinn took over the Gators D they were #32 and last season they were #2. I like it!

Yes Tink, I did notice who had the #1 D this season.

Will Muschamp (HC of the Gators) is a Nick Saban protege. He ran the defense at Texas and was coach-in-waiting under Mack Brown until he said Chuck this and went to Florida. Muschamp knows defense and if he hired Dan Quinn, he hired a good one. Congrats on the hire!

Hopefully the 'hawks can keep it up .
Always liked them since the Steve Largent - Curt Warner days .
