see all updates

Ryan Van Bibber [10:15 PM]:

that’s gonna do it for us tonight folks. See ya back here for the Super Bowl

King in Canada [10:07 PM]:

can anyone really talk crap on shermans interviews?? 1 immediately after game sealing play was a lil too fired up n passionate for the common folk, second one was as family friendly as you ever need

eightyseven [10:05 PM]:

NBSP [10:04 PM]:

Was that a Seahawks player with a non-smartphone camera? Someone raise that man’s salary!

NBSP [10:04 PM]:

Oh no! Richard Sherman is going to eat Terry Bradshaw!

Ryan Van Bibber [10:03 PM]:

Richard Sherman is screaming at us

by Seth Rosenthal, SBNation.com

Please don’t hurt us, Richard.

NBSP [10:02 PM]:

@kevinjc13 Broncos only scored 26 on the Pats D, which is questionable at best. I see this being a low scoring game, something like 20-17

rasvar [10:02 PM]:

I’m now pulling for Seahawks! I hate Manning.

mgowp8 [10:02 PM]:

@kevinjc13 Number 1 pass D. Enough chance for me

kevinjc13 [10:01 PM]:

do any of you really think they have a chance against the broncos though? without their “12th man?”

NBSP [10:01 PM]:

Is there anyone still on the Seahawks from their 2005 run?

King in Canada [10:01 PM]:

peyton deserves a ring but I wouldnt be bothered by seeing him get sacked/picked repeatedly either

mgowp8 [10:00 PM]:

OH MAN TYPO COME ON

mgowp8 [10:00 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? I am unable to root for Peyton as a Michigan fan, because of Tim Brady and The Narative

NBSP [10:00 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? I’m more rooting for the city, not so much the team personnel. The Richard Sherman thing didn’t really bother me, and I do really like Russel Wilson. Also, I’m a Pats fan, so…

King in Canada [10:00 PM]:

I dont care who wins now, just wanted to see these 2 teams

JohnnyGentle [9:59 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? NOT ME! RICHARD SHERMAN FOR PRESIDENT!

IsItFallYet? [9:58 PM]:

@NBSP Really dude? Everyone in this country outside of Oregon will be rooting for Peyton. See: Richard Sherman’s post-game interview

Smash Ripsaw [9:57 PM]:

I’m surprised he didn’t

kevinjc13 [9:57 PM]:

i thought sherman cussed on national tv

mgowp8 [9:56 PM]:

Because of course he was

mgowp8 [9:56 PM]:

He was essentially calling Crabtree a bitch in his post game interview

Rodger Sherman [9:56 PM]:

FINAL
Beats	17
Beast	23

Edson.Herman.14 [9:56 PM]:

“calling out the best”

Edson.Herman.14 [9:56 PM]:

something about “Crabtree talking bout the best”

kevinjc13 [9:55 PM]:

what did sherman say???

NBSP [9:55 PM]:

I love Erin Andrews: No one’s talking about you

IsItFallYet? [9:55 PM]:

Holy shit Sherman lol

mgowp8 [9:55 PM]:

haha!

JohnnyGentle [9:55 PM]:

SHERMAN FOR PRESIDENT

Stephen White [9:55 PM]:

Thanks for coming out folks

eightyseven [9:55 PM]:

Tell us how you really feel.

Edson.Herman.14 [9:54 PM]:

y i actually LIKE Sherman..

ponebrewed [9:54 PM]:

LOL

rasvar [9:54 PM]:

Best post game interview ever!

Smash Ripsaw [9:54 PM]:

What an ass

NBSP [9:54 PM]:

Richard Sherman is a little angry

Smash Ripsaw [9:54 PM]:

WOWWWWW

Stephen White [9:54 PM]:

LOL

Edson.Herman.14 [9:54 PM]:

LMFAO SHERMAN

mgowp8 [9:54 PM]:

I started liking them after they beat the Saints to go 8-9. Got in just in front of the turn around

Stephen White [9:54 PM]:

Sherman is excited

Matthew Kenerly [9:54 PM]:

SHUT UP, RICHARD SHERMAN

Stephen White [9:53 PM]:

Hope Bowman is ok

JohnnyGentle [9:53 PM]:

GOD BLESS RICHARD SHERMAN

eightyseven [9:53 PM]:

THIS IS FOR YOU, MATT HASSELBECK

Stephen White [9:53 PM]:

That was an amazing second half though. Really entertaining

JohnnyGentle [9:53 PM]:

RICHARD SHERMAN FOR MCP

NBSP [9:53 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? Really? I’m definitely pulling for Seattle. They haven’t won a Super Bowl, lost their basketball team, easy pick for me

mgowp8 [9:53 PM]:

Did Harbaugh get his TO usage advice from the Madden AI?

Matthew Kenerly [9:52 PM]:

I love how Harbaugh is using all of his timeouts, though

Edson.Herman.14 [9:52 PM]:

I’m FOR Seattle in SB

Stephen White [9:52 PM]:

So neither team from last year’s Superbowl returns

mgowp8 [9:52 PM]:

@Mark Ennis Never not rec

NBSP [9:52 PM]:

I think Harbaugh’s going to give Pete Carroll a deathgrip handshake…

Mark Ennis [9:52 PM]:

again

IsItFallYet? [9:52 PM]:

SuperBowl XLVIII: America vs. Seattle

Smash Ripsaw [9:51 PM]:

real dick move

Matthew Kenerly [9:51 PM]:

Oh, man, I hate Richard Sherman. Haaaaate.

eightyseven [9:51 PM]:

WHOOOOO

unxknownxorigin [9:50 PM]:

i dont htink manning makes the same mistakes that kaep does

Stephen White [9:50 PM]:

Smith was hustling his ass off too btw. A LB that deep? Not normal

JohnnyGentle [9:50 PM]:

RICHARD SHERMAN CAN SAY WHATEVER HE PLEASES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

NBSP [9:50 PM]:

What a play!

ponebrewed [9:50 PM]:

Dayum

Matthew Kenerly [9:50 PM]:

Well, that sucks.

JohnnyGentle [9:50 PM]:

HOLY-

Hambone179 [9:50 PM]:

just kidding!

Stephen White [9:50 PM]:

Why did he try Sherman? Whyyyyyyy

mgowp8 [9:50 PM]:

SUPAH BOWL!

Mark Ennis [9:50 PM]:

Wow!!!! Seahawks rescued by their defense.

IsItFallYet? [9:50 PM]:

Game over man

Oh No Romo [9:49 PM]:

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ball game!

mgowp8 [9:49 PM]:

WOOOOOOOOOOO

NBSP [9:49 PM]:

WOOOOOOOOOOWWWW

Charlie Gebow [9:49 PM]:

Wow!

Edson.Herman.14 [9:49 PM]:

ha ha THERE’S THE DEFENSE

Hambone179 [9:49 PM]:

Kaep runs in the winning score.

Stephen White [9:49 PM]:

Good night.

Matthew Kenerly [9:49 PM]:

Kaep breaking out the bazooka now

Stephen White [9:49 PM]:

Man this is suspense filled

Edson.Herman.14 [9:49 PM]:

Where’s that DEFENSE Seattle?

Stephen White [9:48 PM]:

Fresh legs on for Seattle I imagine

Charlie Gebow [9:48 PM]:

Thomas with the Rahim Moore

Stephen White [9:48 PM]:

Nice. Got it over the safety’s head that time

Matthew Kenerly [9:48 PM]:

Crabtree, man… hoo boy.

Mark Ennis [9:48 PM]:

I can feel it.

Mark Ennis [9:48 PM]:

Man, Seattle, this one’s gonna hurt.

Edson.Herman.14 [9:47 PM]:

it’s pretty much WIN or Lose right now.. 49ers have all in hands.

JohnnyGentle [9:47 PM]:

Feels like they’re taking too long here.

IsItFallYet? [9:47 PM]:

What exactly is the discount double-check anyway? I’ve seen that commercial for 16 weeks now, and I still have no idea.

NBSP [9:46 PM]:

I’m glad we get previews for Super Bowl ads now. Otherwise how will I know what ads to get excited for?

Edson.Herman.14 [9:46 PM]:

@mgowp8 Well yeah.. lol

Hambone179 [9:46 PM]:

You think thats bad? Google Clay matthews grocery shopping.

mgowp8 [9:45 PM]:

@Edson.Herman.14 I’m from Detroit, so I just stopped caring about divisional rivalries and took up drinking

NBSP [9:45 PM]:

The only products/services NFL fans buy are insurance, ED treatments, and trucks

Edson.Herman.14 [9:45 PM]:

I HATE the Packers because I’m a Vikings fan..

Stephen White [9:45 PM]:

Now 49ers will have to hurry a bit which isnt their deal. If Kaep can run a few times it will get Seattle’s front tired however and unless the 49ers sub they will have to stay in vs no huddle

mgowp8 [9:44 PM]:

I hate the Packers only because of these commercials

Edson.Herman.14 [9:44 PM]:

DAAABLE CHECK

rasvar [9:44 PM]:

Great, now we get the same set of commercials again

Edson.Herman.14 [9:44 PM]:

good game now.

Mark Ennis [9:44 PM]:

lol

Old school, traditional, QB will roust the new-fangled. headphone wearin' scramblers in the Superbowl. Don't buy the hype. #NFLPlayoffs
— Rob Lowe (@RobLowe) January 20, 2014

Stephen White [9:44 PM]:

Clutch catch by Gore

Hambone179 [9:43 PM]:

read option with gore

Stephen White [9:43 PM]:

Run with Kaep out of shotgun. Give him a pass option too but put it in his hands with the game on the line here.

NBSP [9:43 PM]:

Kaep run?

Stephen White [9:43 PM]:

He wasn’t gonna catch that regardless. Might have gotten knocked out though.

mgowp8 [9:42 PM]:

@Smash Ripsaw Bunny ears 4 lyfe

Smash Ripsaw [9:42 PM]:

bunny ears

Mark Ennis [9:42 PM]:

Crabtree flinched.

mgowp8 [9:42 PM]:

Woop!

Stephen White [9:42 PM]:

Kaep led him too far inside

King in Canada [9:42 PM]:

shoemergency

NBSP [9:42 PM]:

JR Smith is in the Seattle secondary

Stephen White [9:41 PM]:

Uh oh, Boldin hurt?

Stephen White [9:41 PM]:

A throwback? Really?

rasvar [9:40 PM]:

One thing is certain: With either of these teams, Peyton Manning’s jersey is going to be a lot dirtier in the Super Bowl. They make they some late hit calls just to hit him.

mgowp8 [9:39 PM]:

Jeep Wrangler Polar edition can also be had by buying a Wrangler and driving in the snow

Stephen White [9:38 PM]:

49ers should at least attempt a double move for Crab deep. Problem is Bennett and Avril are winning with their pass rushing. Kaep doesnt have time for a pump and go most plays

Matthew Kenerly [9:38 PM]:

Welp. It’s do or die time for the Niners

IsItFallYet? [9:38 PM]:

Designed runs for Kaepernick coming up

Stephen White [9:37 PM]:

Looks like 49ers will have to score a TD. Should have plenty of time though

Matthew Kenerly [9:36 PM]:

This game is killing me. We need a stop so much.

JohnnyGentle [9:36 PM]:

@Ryan Van Bibber O-line is struggling.

IsItFallYet? [9:36 PM]:

nice stop there

Charlie Gebow [9:35 PM]:

OPI! Phil Simms is happy with the Seahawks

Ryan Van Bibber [9:35 PM]:

anyone happen to be charting just how many times Wilson’s had to scramble around the pocket like that? Seems like 90% of his snaps

NBSP [9:35 PM]:

I am now convinced the ball has been dipped in vaseline

JohnnyGentle [9:35 PM]:

This thing’s turned into a comedy of errors.

Stephen White [9:35 PM]:

Seahawks really not trying to shut the door here smh

JohnnyGentle [9:34 PM]:

@Hambone179 Oregon-oregon state college basketball on ESPNU

NBSP [9:34 PM]:

The Seahawks continue their war against timeouts

King in Canada [9:34 PM]:

aldon smith must haaaate lynch

Stephen White [9:33 PM]:

Ewwwwwwww that stiff arm was so nasty

CathyAnnette34 [9:33 PM]:

game on

Hambone179 [9:33 PM]:

What game are you watching Johnny?

Luke Zimmermann [9:33 PM]:

He’s my dude, but of course Whitner had to rush in at the end and try to spear Lynch.

JohnnyGentle [9:33 PM]:

What was that handoff?

James Dator [9:33 PM]:

The 49ers picked a bad time to forget how to tackle

Stephen White [9:33 PM]:

He’s not human lol

NBSP [9:32 PM]:

I wouldn’t be too proud of that catch and run

Mark Ennis [9:32 PM]:

he got lost got lost and got that first down.

Stephen White [9:32 PM]:

49ers defenders loafed on that play. Mightve stopped him short when he went backward

mgowp8 [9:32 PM]:

@sgw94 True

Stephen White [9:32 PM]:

Yes lets start the replay from the throw, not from the play action fake

JohnnyGentle [9:32 PM]:

BOY, WILSON’S BEEN BAD TODAY.

Stephen White [9:31 PM]:

@mgowp8 doesn’t make it any less despicable

Stephen White [9:31 PM]:

Brooks was hauling to make that play

Mark Ennis [9:31 PM]:

The ball can’t seem to make up its mind.

Hambone179 [9:31 PM]:

Kaepernick…still an awful quarterback

Stephen White [9:30 PM]:

Never saw Chancellor. Lost him when he turned his back for the play action fake

mgowp8 [9:30 PM]:

@sgw94 To be fair, most any fan base has those sort of people in it

Matthew Kenerly [9:30 PM]:

Awful throw

NBSP [9:30 PM]:

THIS GAME

Stephen White [9:30 PM]:

Cant throw that one

Edson.Herman.14 [9:30 PM]:

wow

Hambone179 [9:29 PM]:

Was it skittles?

NBSP [9:29 PM]:

@sgw94 Awful

Edson.Herman.14 [9:29 PM]:

@sgw94 they will see the replays and regret

NBSP [9:29 PM]:

@Clefo Um, in hindsight they should’ve taken the points…

Stephen White [9:29 PM]:

This might be a looooong drive

IsItFallYet? [9:29 PM]:

@sgw94 Skittles?

Matthew Kenerly [9:29 PM]:

Stay classy, Seattle

mgowp8 [9:29 PM]:

Nooooo not Bennett

Stephen White [9:28 PM]:

Ridiculous

Seahawks fans threw food at Bowman on his way out.

NBSP [9:28 PM]:

That’s like posting the Anderson Silva leg break. Just shouldn’t be allowed

Charlie Gebow [9:28 PM]:

@NBSP

mgowp8 [9:27 PM]:

Thank god for the hide image button

IsItFallYet? [9:27 PM]:

@Clay Wendler Why would you repost that?

NBSP [9:27 PM]:

@Clefo Nah. They probably score 80% of the time, so you expect 5.6 points by going for it, 3 points by kicking.

JohnnyGentle [9:27 PM]:

@Clay Wendler oh, fuck you.

Edson.Herman.14 [9:27 PM]:

no no no nooo

King in Canada [9:27 PM]:

he slammed that handoff in lynch’s chest like he wanted it to velcro to his numbers

Clay Wendler [9:26 PM]:

Charlie Gebow [9:26 PM]:

Should have taken the points

Matthew Kenerly [9:26 PM]:

more like Fleeced Mode, amirite

Stephen White [9:26 PM]:

49ers have life. At some point they have to take a shot deep to Davis. Just make sure Earl Thomas isnt around

mgowp8 [9:26 PM]:

That was just dumb all around

JakeLiker [9:26 PM]:

SO MUCH KARMA

IsItFallYet? [9:26 PM]:

Lulz

NBSP [9:26 PM]:

Justice

Stephen White [9:26 PM]:

Just a bad exchange

Smash Ripsaw [9:26 PM]:

WHOA WHOA!

rasvar [9:26 PM]:

Justice is done.

NBSP [9:25 PM]:

Hahahah!

JohnnyGentle [9:25 PM]:

I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THIS GAME ANYMORE

mgowp8 [9:25 PM]:

HAHAHA WHAT THE HELL

Charlie Gebow [9:25 PM]:

Ball don’t lie?

Stephen White [9:25 PM]:

Bowman out of course you go. But dont get it

Edson.Herman.14 [9:25 PM]:

BALL DON’t LIE….

Matthew Kenerly [9:25 PM]:

I am so pissed. Insult and injury.

JohnnyGentle [9:25 PM]:

ENOUGH WITH THE REPLAYS ALREADY

Stephen White [9:24 PM]:

This is a ridiculous rule

rasvar [9:24 PM]:

He is way wrong. Challenge as an interception and down by contact. That is reviewable.

mgowp8 [9:24 PM]:

I get the reason why reviewing a fumble in a pile isn’t reviewable, there’s no point, but there should be some loopholes

IsItFallYet? [9:23 PM]:

@JohnnyGentle Becuase Roger Goodell said so.

Smash Ripsaw [9:23 PM]:

Yep, bad rule. That’s definitely SF’s ball.

JohnnyGentle [9:23 PM]:

Anyone want to summarize how/why that’s not reviewable?

IsItFallYet? [9:23 PM]:

Wow, that is BS that they can’t review who recovered the fumble if the call on the field was a fumble. SF clearly had that.

Matthew Kenerly [9:22 PM]:

We are getting so hosed today

Edson.Herman.14 [9:22 PM]:

Not Bowman.. they need him BAD

mgowp8 [9:22 PM]:

OH FUCK NO REPLAY GUY PLEASE NO

NBSP [9:22 PM]:

Feel for Bowman. Can they please stop showing that, though?

rugman11 [9:22 PM]:

That is unquestionably San Francisco ball.

Stephen White [9:22 PM]:

Man that looks awful though

NBSP [9:21 PM]:

Not reviewable?!? Seriously?

JohnnyGentle [9:21 PM]:

AAAAHHHH HIS LEG

Edson.Herman.14 [9:21 PM]:

Bowman down..

Ryan Van Bibber [9:21 PM]:

GROSS

Ryan Van Bibber [9:21 PM]:

ugh, that shot of bowman’s knee ….

Stephen White [9:21 PM]:

The hell it aint. Clear recovery by Bowman

Oh No Romo [9:21 PM]:

D’AH

Stephen White [9:21 PM]:

Thats 49er ball

Stephen White [9:21 PM]:

Looks like Bowman is hurt

Clay Wendler [9:20 PM]:

JohnnyGentle [9:20 PM]:

INTERCEPTION FUMBLE I DON’T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE

JakeLiker [9:20 PM]:

@NBSP yes, yes it was

Matthew Kenerly [9:20 PM]:

Oh, Bowman has it

Stephen White [9:20 PM]:

Fumble

mgowp8 [9:20 PM]:

THESE GUYS BUILD THEIR TEAMS TO BEAT ANOTHER TOP 5 TEAM

Stephen White [9:19 PM]:

Big 3rd down here

NBSP [9:18 PM]:

@JakeLiker Was that a gold rush joke? Well done, sir.

Hambone179 [9:18 PM]:

Apparently 49ers can only gain yards if Kaep is carrying the ball.

Stephen White [9:18 PM]:

Now Seattle imploding smh

mgowp8 [9:18 PM]:

#manball

mgowp8 [9:18 PM]:

Should’ve gone up the gut

JakeLiker [9:17 PM]:

For a team named the 49ers, they sure seem to struggle against the rush

Stephen White [9:17 PM]:

49ers have to hold them to a FG here

IsItFallYet? [9:17 PM]:

Shiiiiiiiiiit

King in Canada [9:17 PM]:

well this is getting fun

NBSP [9:17 PM]:

Yep, Kaep’s sealing the game with his arm… It just got knocked off

Stephen White [9:17 PM]:

Bennett beat two guys and got the fumble recovery

Matthew Kenerly [9:16 PM]:

Kaep noooooooo

Mark Ennis [9:16 PM]:

Starting to snowball on the 49ers now.

Stephen White [9:16 PM]:

Kaep waited too long trying to make a play.

Stephen White [9:16 PM]:

Well damn.

Charlie Gebow [9:16 PM]:

Oh shit!

Stephen White [9:16 PM]:

Shouldve called a timeout

Matthew Kenerly [9:15 PM]:

UGGGGGGGGGH

IsItFallYet? [9:15 PM]:

D’oh

Stephen White [9:15 PM]:

That seemed quick

NBSP [9:15 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? Nah, he needs Mighty Wings

Stephen White [9:15 PM]:

He snuck like two extra yards in up the sideline

IsItFallYet? [9:14 PM]:

Get those headphones out Kaep

Matthew Kenerly [9:14 PM]:

They’ve got nothing on the ground. Kaep is gonna have to win it.

Stephen White [9:14 PM]:

Gore back in

Stephen White [9:13 PM]:

Man a real good catch by boldin with a big hit on him

Clay Wendler [9:13 PM]:

Mark Ennis [9:12 PM]:

This is not football but I feel like I should share it

.SamuelLJackson</a> have you ever yelled at a pizza. because if not, i would like to be the first— DiGiorno Pizza (DiGiornoPizza) January 20, 2014

Stephen White [9:12 PM]:

Thats a good throw

Stephen White [9:12 PM]:

Tight coverage

Hambone179 [9:12 PM]:

haha. great harbaughface

NBSP [9:11 PM]:

HARBAUGH ANGRY

Clay Wendler [9:10 PM]:

James Dator [9:10 PM]:

San Fran’s safeties are the 12th man

mgowp8 [9:09 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? That’s been my understanding. I think Jon Bois alluded to it shortly aftert they started

IsItFallYet? [9:09 PM]:

@Clay Wendler Quick question: I asked this in the GIF of the Week comments the other day, but it is the reason that all of the NFL GIFs have captions because of fair use/copright stuff from the NFL?

Mark Ennis [9:09 PM]:

NBSP [9:08 PM]:

@sgw94 Everyone was thinking that was kind of nuts. I guess the timeout paid off!

Stephen White [9:08 PM]:

Crowd back into it. Smith cant jump there. Just cant

Matthew Kenerly [9:08 PM]:

This is getting stupid

James Dator [9:08 PM]:

4th	13:44
Dr. Dre	17
Macklemore	20

Stephen White [9:08 PM]:

Hell two guys were open up the same damn seam. Wow

NBSP [9:07 PM]:

CLEARLY RUSSEL WILSON IS THE GREATEST QB EVER

Mark Ennis [9:07 PM]:

This game is amazing.

Charlie Gebow [9:07 PM]:

Bad process, good result!

Matthew Kenerly [9:07 PM]:

REALLY?

NBSP [9:07 PM]:

WOW!!!!!

Stephen White [9:07 PM]:

And let me shut the hell up….

Matthew Kenerly [9:07 PM]:

really?

mgowp8 [9:07 PM]:

…of Steel

JohnnyGentle [9:07 PM]:

FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD

Ryan Van Bibber [9:07 PM]:

HOLY MOLY

JohnnyGentle [9:07 PM]:

AWFUL FALSE START

Stephen White [9:07 PM]:

Dont like this. Could be a one point game

Charlie Gebow [9:07 PM]:

This is gonna end well

mgowp8 [9:06 PM]:

Balls…

Matthew Kenerly [9:06 PM]:

that timeout may come back to haunt them

mgowp8 [9:06 PM]:

@sgw94 Fair point

Clay Wendler [9:06 PM]:

Stephen White [9:06 PM]:

What was that?

NBSP [9:05 PM]:

@JohnnyGentle If it’s Harbaugh’s pockets, they’re essentially infinite http://www.sbnation.com/2014/1/16/5315806/jim-harbaugh-pants-khakis-walmart

IsItFallYet? [9:05 PM]:

Go for it Pete, Hauschka can do it

Stephen White [9:05 PM]:

Kick it

mgowp8 [9:05 PM]:

Quick question: How can anyone say Wilson is ever in a pocket at all?

Stephen White [9:04 PM]:

@mgowp8 the cutback wasnt bad because he was about to run right into Aldon Smith. Not much he could do at that point

JohnnyGentle [9:04 PM]:

Quick question: how far back does the pocket extend?

Stephen White [9:04 PM]:

Win or lose, the Seahawks need about 10 new offensive linemen in the offseason, and that's an understatement.

— SI_DougFarrar (@SI_DougFarrar) January 20, 2014

NBSP [9:03 PM]:

I wish Fox had Harbaugh wired up with an EEG and live streamed the signal

James Dator [9:03 PM]:

4th	15:00
Please Jim, calm down	17
Seriously — we’re worried about you	13

mgowp8 [9:02 PM]:

@sgw94 Bad cut back, bad throw

Mark Ennis [9:02 PM]:

Harbaugh would’ve stroked out right there on the sideline had they not thrown that flag

Stephen White [9:02 PM]:

He wasnt outside the pocket either

Stephen White [9:01 PM]:

Yes. Huge play

Charlie Gebow [9:01 PM]:

That’s a groundin’

Matthew Kenerly [9:01 PM]:

Grounding!

NBSP [9:01 PM]:

I move for “Beast Mode” to be officially renamed to “Lynch Mode.” Example usage: Legarrette Blount just went Lynch Mode on the Colts.

IsItFallYet? [9:01 PM]:

grounding?

Stephen White [9:01 PM]:

Grounding?

Mark Ennis [9:01 PM]:

Seattle has run the ball between the tackles almost at will in the 3rd quarter.

Charlie Gebow [9:00 PM]:

@mgowp8 The Jon Seada for the new generation? Wouldn’t want to!

Stephen White [9:00 PM]:

I like Seattle taking a shot there though

Stephen White [8:59 PM]:

Good hit to break it up. Smith almost had Wilson but he slipped going around the corner

JohnnyGentle [8:59 PM]:

Too much air under that ball.

Mark Ennis [8:59 PM]:

Too much air under it.

mgowp8 [8:59 PM]:

Safeties are learning

Matthew Kenerly [8:59 PM]:

Hrmmmm. don’t agree with that spot, either

Stephen White [8:58 PM]:

Another read option run for the first

mgowp8 [8:58 PM]:

NOT EVEN FOR THE KITTY HALFTIME SHOW ON ANIMAL PLANET

mgowp8 [8:58 PM]:

DONT MISS BRUNO MARS GUYS

Stephen White [8:57 PM]:

Toldja

IsItFallYet? [8:56 PM]:

I’m just gonna say it, watching shows with Michael J Fox makes me feel uncomfortable.

mgowp8 [8:55 PM]:

See, I always thought hitting the plant foot was roughing

Stephen White [8:55 PM]:

That should have been a 15 yarder imo. Went into his plant leg. He didnt sell it enough IJS

Matthew Kenerly [8:55 PM]:

@sgw94 It’s not Cam Newton, man

James Dator [8:54 PM]:

That ankle went in the wrong direction

Stephen White [8:54 PM]:

Stay down dummy. Writhe in pain lol

Matthew Kenerly [8:54 PM]:

Andy Lee got clipped there

King in Canada [8:54 PM]:

b*tch flag

JohnnyGentle [8:54 PM]:

Running or roughting?

the Glenn [8:54 PM]:

@sgw94 And take a lot of PEDs…excuse me, Adderall. XD

Stephen White [8:53 PM]:

Bennett with pressure again

JohnnyGentle [8:53 PM]:

@Clay Wendler that’s beautiful

IsItFallYet? [8:53 PM]:

damn, davis got lit up

Stephen White [8:53 PM]:

Helluva hit there

Stephen White [8:52 PM]:

Normally a defense would be tired by now but Seattle subs a ton

Clay Wendler [8:52 PM]:

Matthew Kenerly [8:52 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? Still make slightly more sense than Levi’s ads

stevib [8:52 PM]:

I thought the “tackle box” was reworded to be 5 yards on either side of center, or is that just the new college legalese?

mgowp8 [8:52 PM]:

@matthew_k Probably can’t think over the noise

Stephen White [8:51 PM]:

Remotely close? Wow

Matthew Kenerly [8:51 PM]:

is Ufford at this game? Wonder what he’s thinking.

IsItFallYet? [8:50 PM]:

These iPad commercials that are like “poetry, love, emotion, they are human, human is you, you are your iDentity, iPad is you, iPad is human” are getting creepier each time I see them

Mark Ennis [8:50 PM]:

Russell Wilson looks at the blitz, a lot. And the Seahawks don’t seem to have a ton of hot routes or stuff where Wilson can just get rid of it.

King in Canada [8:49 PM]:

quick swing route or anything

King in Canada [8:48 PM]:

I expected a better answer for that mega blitz

Stephen White [8:48 PM]:

That was close. He wasnt more than a step outside the box on that throw. If that

Stephen White [8:47 PM]:

Helluva change up blitz there. 49ers were coming from everywhere

IsItFallYet? [8:47 PM]:

grounding?

IsItFallYet? [8:47 PM]:

@matthew_k lol

Stephen White [8:46 PM]:

Mental errors will kill you every time

Matthew Kenerly [8:46 PM]:

@sgw94 More like “East-West Mode”, amirite

IsItFallYet? [8:46 PM]:

Would Pete Carroll really settle for 3 here?

Stephen White [8:46 PM]:

Dont like that call. Let him go north and south!

IsItFallYet? [8:45 PM]:

Activate Harbaugh cam now

Stephen White [8:44 PM]:

There it is, Tate in space. Looking like the Road Runner lol

IsItFallYet? [8:44 PM]:

Shawks needed that

JohnnyGentle [8:44 PM]:

This game got really entertaining really fast.

Matthew Kenerly [8:44 PM]:

Special teams breakdown. ..

Mark Ennis [8:43 PM]:

Kaepernick's elusiveness and maneuverability in the pocket is really something special. SEA has no idea how to rush and contain him.

— Rich Gannon (@RichGannon12) January 20, 2014

Stephen White [8:43 PM]:

Thats how you answer

King in Canada [8:43 PM]:

couple plays have screamed pick but one hasn’t materialized yet

mgowp8 [8:42 PM]:

@Clay Wendler TATE CANT CATCH PAWWWWLLL

Stephen White [8:41 PM]:

@Mark Ennis it aint lol

Mark Ennis [8:41 PM]:

Jesus, how is that even fair?

Clay Wendler [8:41 PM]:

Stephen White [8:41 PM]:

Buh buh but he wont throw onto tight windows. Now he is being risky. Like I said, cant win. Except on the field that is

Hambone179 [8:40 PM]:

About time he caught one.

rasvar [8:40 PM]:

FAT MAN AND AWESOME CATCH BACK TO BACK

Charlie Gebow [8:40 PM]:

JohnnyGentle [8:40 PM]:

Kaep has an arm.

IsItFallYet? [8:40 PM]:

IsItFallYet? [8:39 PM]:

@matthew_k No. Grown ass me don’t eat Skittles. But they will, once they see Beast Mode eating them.

Matthew Kenerly [8:39 PM]:

That faked me out 1000 miles away

Stephen White [8:38 PM]:

There it is

mgowp8 [8:38 PM]:

Rather, do they seriously pay someone to come up with a target demo?

eightyseven [8:38 PM]:

@Rodger Sherman Battlestar Galactica

King in Canada [8:38 PM]:

this crabapple guy…

IsItFallYet? [8:38 PM]:

Nice catch by Crabtree on a shaky pass

mgowp8 [8:38 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? They have a target demo?

Stephen White [8:38 PM]:

Crab

Matthew Kenerly [8:38 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? Isn’t their target demo everyone?

Stephen White [8:37 PM]:

Hunter is pretty good too, now

Rodger Sherman [8:37 PM]:

3	9:46
BEATS	10
BEAST	10

IsItFallYet? [8:37 PM]:

Any chance Lynch could be used in Skittles marketing, or is he too edgy for their target demo?

Stephen White [8:37 PM]:

Now Gore getting loose a little

IsItFallYet? [8:36 PM]:

@sgw94 It was the Seahawks defenders’ lives flashing before their eyes, and asking themselves whether it was really worth risking their lives on some futile attempt to stop Lynch in beast mode.

Stephen White [8:34 PM]:

Brock I dont know what that was at the end of that run, son.

eightyseven [8:33 PM]:

@mgowp8 …b!tch

Well that escalated quickly

Matthew Kenerly [8:33 PM]:

I’d love to know what Tramaine Brock was doing at the end of the run

Stephen White [8:33 PM]:

Bowman over ran it backside that allowed the LT to block Whitner and then Reid just got juked out his jock

Edson.Herman.14 [8:32 PM]:

That kick tho

mgowp8 [8:32 PM]:

He does in fact work just like Juggernaut does

Stephen White [8:32 PM]:

LOL they cant even attempt to tackle him when he gets a full head of steam. Now we have a game!’n

Matthew Kenerly [8:32 PM]:

aw, hell

eightyseven [8:32 PM]:

Whoooooooooo

Charlie Gebow [8:32 PM]:

Gad damn

IsItFallYet? [8:32 PM]:

Stephen White [8:31 PM]:

Good swarm to the screen. Id like to see Tate catch a few of those

eightyseven [8:31 PM]:

The Beast lives

mgowp8 [8:31 PM]:

@sgw94 Does he work the same way Juggernaut works?

Hambone179 [8:31 PM]:

Time for those 1 yard carries for Lynch to pay off

Edson.Herman.14 [8:31 PM]:

oh oh.. Beastmode coming on

Stephen White [8:31 PM]:

Lynch is getting going.

Stephen White [8:30 PM]:

Seattle OLine moved the line of scrimmage forward that time

mgowp8 [8:30 PM]:

UP THE GUT!

Matthew Kenerly [8:29 PM]:

Don’t eat chicken while doing a backflipnon a motorcycle because you might choke. Oh, is that all?

Mark Ennis [8:28 PM]:

Macklemore is the 13th man

— Dennis G (@bigpumpkin4real) January 20, 2014

eightyseven [8:28 PM]:

So how was Macklemore serious question

Stephen White [8:27 PM]:

Incredible incompletion

mgowp8 [8:27 PM]:

Yeah but Hey-Bey has a name thats more fun to say

Stephen White [8:26 PM]:

Almost a disaster

James Dator [8:26 PM]:

Never forget that Darrius Heyward-Bey was taken three picks before Crabtree

Matthew Kenerly [8:26 PM]:

Better SF catcher: Crabtree or Buster Posey?

Stephen White [8:24 PM]:

Remember last year when some of us (I) laughed when Harbaugh said Crab has the best hands in the NFL? Yeah….

Stephen White [8:23 PM]:

Kaep is so muvh better when he has Crab. They guy has a crazy catch radius

Stephen White [8:23 PM]:

Seattle is all over the conventional runs

Mark Ennis [8:23 PM]:

Oh man Crabtree is a better man than I am. Geez.

IsItFallYet? [8:22 PM]:

Nice pass there

Clay Wendler [8:21 PM]:

Mark Ennis [8:20 PM]:

So we're all aware: Seahawks have outscored 49ers in the second half this season, 27-6.

Cant believe we’re almost at the end of football season. Its like standing on a mountain and surveying a desert below that I know I must cross

IsItFallYet? [8:16 PM]:

It was absolutely hilariuosu

Matthew Kenerly [8:16 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? Nah, my local Fox affiliate.

IsItFallYet? [8:16 PM]:

I watched a Thursday night game that was streamed from Sky TV in Britain this season.

IsItFallYet? [8:16 PM]:

@matthew_k Ahhh, are you watching on one of the internet streaming channels?

Matthew Kenerly [8:15 PM]:

More accurately, Bulldog + bulldog pup + English accents = win

IsItFallYet? [8:14 PM]:

I’m watchin some bullshit fell-good nfl propaganda commerical starring bill clinton

Matthew Kenerly [8:13 PM]:

I wish people could watch this Mattress Discounters commercial. Bulldog puppy = win

King in Canada [8:13 PM]:

awwwww unnecessary

Stephen White [8:13 PM]:

Kaepernick has 3 of the top 5 rushing performances by a QB in NFL playoff history. Vick and McNabb have the other two.

@mgowp8 I want to work for SB Nation so that I can tell her that what I’ve been doing for the last five hours is “work”.

King in Canada [8:11 PM]:

seems like seattle could really break it open over the top if they can dial everything in

Matthew Kenerly [8:11 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? Pizza Hut does, dunno about the others, really.

mgowp8 [8:11 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? If one of those four is Pizza Hut, then yes

IsItFallYet? [8:10 PM]:

@matthew_k Yeah, but do the other four allow you to click a few buttons on your computer and summon a pizza?

Matthew Kenerly [8:10 PM]:

@James Dator more like Legs and Shorter Legs, amirite

Stephen White [8:09 PM]:

This is obviously still anybody’s game. Id love to see more read option runs by Lynch in the second half. Seemed like he had some success with that. Plus it spreads the 49ers out a bit.

mgowp8 [8:09 PM]:

@James Dator I want to work for SBNation solely so i can make scoreboard jokes

Matthew Kenerly [8:09 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? Eh. Domino’s is like the fifth best pizza in my neighborhood, at best

IsItFallYet? [8:09 PM]:

@James Dator Russell Wilson == arms?

Legs	10

this is a perogies n sausage halftime

Lol, theres the harbaugh shot i was waiting for

Matthew Kenerly [8:05 PM]:

GIF me slo mo Harbaugh

Pissed off locker room walk from 49ers offense

That damn Goodell memo smh

King in Canada [8:05 PM]:

the patented jim harbaugh reaction shot

Stephen White [8:05 PM]:

Takes em out of prime scoring position. And a weak ass call to boot

IsItFallYet? [8:05 PM]:

We need a harbaugh cam, now

Edson.Herman.14 [8:04 PM]:

really…

Stephen White [8:04 PM]:

Wow

rasvar [8:04 PM]:

Terrible call!

IsItFallYet? [8:04 PM]:

Harbaugh is going to flip out

Wtf?

oh, you’ve got to be kidding me

And Okung is no slappy

Stephen White [8:00 PM]:

Aldom Smith just assaulted the LT

Matthew Kenerly [8:00 PM]:

PA got blown up, Wilson gets 2 yards anyway. smh

Stephen White [7:59 PM]:

Nice slant to Baldwin. You know the slants are coming, Sea runs them a ton. Still have to stop em though

Matthew Kenerly [7:59 PM]:

That’s cute. Seattle thinks they have 5 receivers.

Stephen White [7:58 PM]:

Run it here.

Stephen White [7:58 PM]:

That sucks for the Seahawks. Almost got a free first down

Stephen White [7:58 PM]:

Nope on Seattle

Stephen White [7:57 PM]:

@Rodger Sherman #Adception

Rodger Sherman [7:57 PM]:

Reminder: the Schwarzenegger thing is an ad for an ad.

Matthew Kenerly [7:57 PM]:

@sgw94 Frowny face. At least Snyder is adequate

Stephen White [7:57 PM]:

The lupati’s backup plays a lot like him. Not as good obviously, but i dont expect him to hold them back from what they want to do on offense

mgowp8 [7:56 PM]:

Ad guy should learn to space things out better

IsItFallYet? [7:56 PM]:

um. is anyone else seeing the arnold schwarzenegger ping pong commercial?

Stephen White [7:56 PM]:

Mike Iupati is OUT with ankle injury.

— Matt Maiocco (@MaioccoCSN) January 20, 2014

Stephen White [7:55 PM]:

Read option look opens things up for lynch a bit

Stephen White [7:54 PM]:

Next first down the Seahawks should take a shot off play action

Stephen White [7:54 PM]:

@matthew_k quick answer is yeah thats pretty spot on. I will think on it at halftime

Matthew Kenerly [7:54 PM]:

That was a first down?

IsItFallYet? [7:54 PM]:

It’d be great if the Hawks could tie this up goin into half time

Stephen White [7:53 PM]:

Nothing easy for Lynch so far

Edson.Herman.14 [7:52 PM]:

SURPRISE

IsItFallYet? [7:51 PM]:

@mgowp8 Thats a really good question

IsItFallYet? [7:51 PM]:

I’ll be pulling for the Broncos, but the 49ers and Seahawks both look like way more well-rounded teams

Stephen White [7:51 PM]:

Osgood is so good at special teams. I was fortunate to play with Kenny “Shark” Gant and Tyrone Legette here on Tampa. Guys like them and Osgood on your special teams make so many crucial plays you forget about

mgowp8 [7:50 PM]:

Should Tate be returning still? I don’t like the WR depth enough to let Tate be out there returning stuff

Matthew Kenerly [7:50 PM]:

@sgw94 Too much to say these are the fastest defenses in the league?

Mark Ennis [7:50 PM]:

Seattle looks to have settled down, now. At least defensively.

Stephen White [7:49 PM]:

Earl Thomas is a missile

IsItFallYet? [7:49 PM]:

This game has been so much better than the AFC championship so far

Stephen White [7:49 PM]:

@matthew_k the other one was contested, i wouldnt have called that a drop. He usually makes catches like that though i agree

Stephen White [7:48 PM]:

Bennett forced that play with penetration

Matthew Kenerly [7:48 PM]:

@sgw94 that’s two today

Stephen White [7:48 PM]:

Yikes, Boldin with a rare drop

IsItFallYet? [7:47 PM]:

@James Dator Damn. I don’t think Kaep has run this much in the first half in any game this season

James Dator [7:47 PM]:

Kevin Costner is the new Liam Neeson.

Stephen White [7:44 PM]:

Ive seen Chancellor line up out wide on Vernon Davis a few times and jam him at the line. Not sure if it was man to man or a safety was over the top but id expect him to see a deep ball soon if that keeps up

Stephen White [7:43 PM]:

At least Seattle is on the board.

Lynch ran through Willis. That doesnt happen all that often

Mark Ennis [7:41 PM]:

That SF defensive front is just amazing.

Stephen White [7:41 PM]:

Not sure what went wrong with that protection call

Ryan Van Bibber [7:40 PM]:

Mike Iupati leaves game with leg injury

by Matthew Fairburn, SBNation.com

The 49ers’ offensive line took a big hit in the first half against the Seahawks.

IsItFallYet? [7:40 PM]:

Maybe Russell will fumble again

mgowp8 [7:40 PM]:

Not the best choice of ways to go down for Baldwin it seems

James Dator [7:40 PM]:

I understand the need to watch the quarterback, but why stare at Wilson like he’s going to run from 5 yards behind the LoS into the secondary?

Matthew Kenerly [7:39 PM]:

YOU HAD ONE JOB

Stephen White [7:39 PM]:

Why in hell is Whitner looking back?!

mgowp8 [7:39 PM]:

Haha what

King in Canada [7:39 PM]:

Hustle Like Russel

Stephen White [7:39 PM]:

What in hell were they doing?!

My God. What a play

Two safeties completely lost Baldwin

Stephen White [7:38 PM]:

Wow

Matthew Kenerly [7:38 PM]:

wtf

Charlie Gebow [7:38 PM]:

Wow

Stephen White [7:37 PM]:

Nice ball to Tate. They have to find a way to get him the ball in space more. Maybe some bubble screens

Stephen White [7:36 PM]:

They are all over Wilson and he wont try to run smh

Odds that RHCP take the halftime stage in tighty whiteys?

Stephen White [7:33 PM]:

49ers used to having Lupati out now.

Clay Wendler [7:32 PM]:

IsItFallYet? [7:32 PM]:

@gentakurnia I think its more of a case of the Seahawks needing to find their game. 49ers are shutting down the run, and Wilson is running low on options. The Seahawks would be unstoppable if Percy and Sidney could ever get off the IR at the same time

Stephen White [7:31 PM]:

Fullback hit lupati in the side and then his legs were trapped under him. Got twisted up like a pretzel

IsItFallYet? [7:30 PM]:

I can’t believe I’m rooting for the 49ers btw, but its hard to dislike Harbaugh and Kaep

gentakurnia [7:30 PM]:

49ers better keep their game up

Stephen White [7:30 PM]:

Key block was right guard who got on the linebacker who could have met Dixon in the air

Matthew Kenerly [7:29 PM]:

@Mark Ennis It’s like he was planking into the end zone

Mark Ennis [7:29 PM]:

Seemed like Dixon was in the air forever, lol.

King in Canada [7:29 PM]:

nice leap

Matthew Kenerly [7:29 PM]:

No doubt this time!

Stephen White [7:29 PM]:

Got it then.

IsItFallYet? [7:29 PM]:

He got some serious air

Charlie Gebow [7:28 PM]:

Pretty sure he got it that time

IsItFallYet? [7:28 PM]:

Whoooo

Stephen White [7:28 PM]:

Read option right with a pass option

IsItFallYet? [7:28 PM]:

Go for it?

Stephen White [7:28 PM]:

Go for it. Out of shotgun

Stephen White [7:27 PM]:

Look at the back end of the ball though. The nose in his left elbow still may have been over

IsItFallYet? [7:26 PM]:

@Clay Wendler lol, wonder where he found that suit

Matthew Kenerly [7:26 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? Good idea, poor execution

Clay Wendler [7:25 PM]:

IsItFallYet? [7:25 PM]:

Side note: This WW2 art-stealing movie looks lame as hell

Stephen White [7:25 PM]:

Will say that i hated the call. Dixon doesnt strike me as a leap over the top from the 1.5 kind of back.

Mark Ennis [7:25 PM]:

Pretty much sums up officiating.

Not a touchdown. Probably won’t be overturned.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) January 20, 2014

Matthew Kenerly [7:25 PM]:

Dixon went airborne, but I think he juuuuust made it

Stephen White [7:24 PM]:

He might be down. But he kept going forward when he landed. Did he land on his elbow is the question

IsItFallYet? [7:24 PM]:

12th man is really disappointing tonight, maybe the Bucs could pick them up in free agency next year?

Stephen White [7:24 PM]:

Yep. He inched forward at the end

Mark Ennis [7:23 PM]:

You know Seattle will be all kinds of dirty if this one gets out of hand.

Stephen White [7:23 PM]:

Pick your poison

Ryan Van Bibber [7:22 PM]:

Kaep read Stephen’s post about Russell Wilson running more

Stephen White [7:22 PM]:

Thats just smart football. And i love that the get-off-my-lawn crowd HATES it lol

Oh, man, what a run by Kaepernick

They broke his pants.

@sgw94 ha, that was a lot even by Seattle standards

IsItFallYet? [7:20 PM]:

Hmmm, maybe Richard Sherman shouldn’t have given that interview where he basically said “the NFL doesn’t want too many flags thrown during the playoffs, so we’re going to get physical with the receivers on every play”

Mark Ennis [7:20 PM]:

Sit. Down.

Stephen White [7:20 PM]:

My goodness McDonald

Stephen White [7:20 PM]:

Yeah that was just too much holding by Sherman there. Gotta call that

jkrdevil [7:20 PM]:

Will the winner of this game have any players left for the Super Bowl?

Sherman gonna get popped

Stephen White [7:19 PM]:

Big 3rd down

IsItFallYet? [7:19 PM]:

@matthew_k I know right, its like they’re embarrassed that a SuperBowl would be held in New Jersey.

Matthew Kenerly [7:17 PM]:

@IsItFallYet? They never had a problem being in Jacksonville or Indy, wonder what it is about Jersey

Edson.Herman.14 [7:17 PM]:

haha

IsItFallYet? [7:15 PM]:

@matthew_k You mean New Jersey bound, not that the NFL and networks want to talk about that

Stephen White [7:15 PM]:

Didnt I just say he looks nervous fielding the punts? Was he given a chance to re catch it? If not isnt that a penalty?

Matthew Kenerly [7:14 PM]:

Lamichael James just got ruined…

unxknownxorigin [7:14 PM]:

damnnnn

Stephen White [7:14 PM]:

Thry had enough to block it but for whatever reason McQuistan decided to help on the OTHER side of the center

Clay Wendler [7:13 PM]:

Edson.Herman.14 [7:12 PM]:

Dree Brees?

Stephen White [7:11 PM]:

Problem was left guard who passed off Smith when he didnt need to. Tackle should have had Bomwan but had to pick up Smith instead.

Matthew Kenerly [7:11 PM]:

Peyton is NYC-bound, yo

Edson.Herman.14 [7:11 PM]:

but wont play

who will be Deion’s first pick for his Pro Bowl team?

Stephen White [7:10 PM]:

Oh my

Mark Ennis [7:07 PM]:

That hit looked really painful.

Matthew Kenerly [7:07 PM]:

Eric Reid was thatclose

IsItFallYet? [7:07 PM]:

Ouch

Stephen White [7:07 PM]:

Goodness

IsItFallYet? [7:06 PM]:

Holy shit

James Dator [7:06 PM]:

It paid off that time, but that is exactly what you talked about this week Stephen. Went for the deep pass, could have easily run it for a 1st

IsItFallYet? [7:06 PM]:

Stupid on Reed’s part to try to catch that instead of knocking it down

Oh No Romo [7:06 PM]:

How the…?

Stephen White [7:06 PM]:

But it worked. Wish he would have run, that was risky as hell

Rodger Sherman [7:06 PM]:

damn, russ.

Stephen White [7:06 PM]:

Not really

Nice pass

Gotta see if the rookie safety Reid will take the cheese

That was first time a quarterback has ever thrown for 400 yards against a Belichick defense INCLUDING Cleveland and the Giants.

Matthew Kenerly [6:59 PM]:

It’s all good. he’ve get the best punter alive.

Stephen White [6:58 PM]:

I understand why he went conservative but I wouldnt have. One yard with Kaep in the backfield? Nah bruh, you gotta show me you can stop us

IsItFallYet? [6:58 PM]:

Wut

IsItFallYet? [6:57 PM]:

I wish there was a camera pointed at Harbaugh the entire game

Stephen White [6:57 PM]:

Clock

Rodger Sherman [6:57 PM]:

did that Seattle LB run over just to yell at kaep?

Stephen White [6:57 PM]:

Might as well go for it.

Stephen White [6:56 PM]:

Seattle is gonna be hard headed in coverage. Kaep has to make em pay every time

IsItFallYet? [6:55 PM]:

Gore always gets shut down by Seattle

Stephen White [6:55 PM]:

Crazy penetration on that play inside

Stephen White [6:55 PM]:

He has to spill the pulling guard but in this case he gave up the edge doing so

James Dator [6:55 PM]:

Vance McDonald took too long to engage there

Stephen White [6:55 PM]:

They got Bennett on that one

Stephen White [6:54 PM]:

Nice play by McDonald.

Stephen White [6:54 PM]:

James always looks nervous fielding punts. Makes me nervous for him lol

IsItFallYet? [6:52 PM]:

It was even worse than Broncos vs. Chargers last week

IsItFallYet? [6:52 PM]:

So, did anyone else thinks that Pats-Broncos game was boring as hell?

IsItFallYet? [6:51 PM]:

Holding on a fair-catch punt? C’mon

Matthew Kenerly [6:50 PM]:

Great start for 49ers D

Stephen White [6:50 PM]:

Nope. Bowman is better than you think he is. No matter how good you think he is. Im serious.

IsItFallYet? [6:50 PM]:

More like ‘Least Mode’

Stephen White [6:50 PM]:

Wilson is better at just avoiding the rush anyway, when he is willing to run for yards as well that is

Stephen White [6:49 PM]:

Not sure moving the pocket is what Seattle needs today. Gonna cut off the backside of the field to throw

Matthew Kenerly [6:49 PM]:

If I were a QB QB and a camera followed me to the huddle, I would wave to America

IsItFallYet? [6:48 PM]:

@sgw94 Good point, it’ll be a defensive battle.

IsItFallYet? [6:47 PM]:

@Run Home Jack lol

Stephen White [6:47 PM]:

Im good with three there considering how Seattle hasnt exactly set the scoreboard on fire recently. Points at a premium today for both teams

rasvar [6:47 PM]:

Ugh, I want Jack Buck instead of Joe Buck so much that I just keep bringing him back to life in my comments.

James Dator [6:47 PM]:

Ryan Nanni [6:46 PM]:

It’s all about momentu(yanked offstage)

Matthew Kenerly [6:46 PM]:

Three is better than zero, but I hope this isn’t a trend

Stephen White [6:46 PM]:

QB draw isnt bad, but usually you’re going into the teeth of the defense, where as with read option usually its a matter of beating one guy. Just the way I view running plays like that inside the redzone with guys like Kaep. Im gonna make you be perfect several plays in a row

IsItFallYet? [6:46 PM]:

I’m surprised that 49ers didnt go for it, its hard to get that kind of field position on Seattle’s defense

IsItFallYet? [6:45 PM]:

Lol, fumble on the first play by Wilson. San Fran should go for it here

Stephen White [6:45 PM]:

Ouch, no bueno

Stephen White [6:44 PM]:

Stephen White [6:27 PM]:

Kaep won’t throw into tight windows? Shiiiiiid I disagree with that. He does it all the time with Crab and Boldin. But if he threw onto coverage a lot they would kill him for that too. Can’t win

Manning in his pads and baseball cap looks exactly like what your dad would look like if he put on an NFL uniform.

Stephen White [6:04 PM]:

Can’t wait to watch the film on this one. Certainly Talib being hurt didnt help NE but right now it seems to me they were out coached

Stephen White [6:02 PM]:

Never thought they would actually run a play there

Stephen White [6:02 PM]:

WOWWWWWWWWW BRASS ONES!!!

Stephen White [6:02 PM]:

Gonna have to take a shot or two deep though

Stephen White [6:01 PM]:

Another chance for NE

Ryan Van Bibber [5:59 PM]:

this is only the third time Peyton’s topped 400 passing yards in a playoff game. Cliff Claven facts.

@Clefo. It’s not a good idea playing football as a lady now, is it. The NFL is one depressing protect the pretty QB and their pretty receivers. I guess it’s a generational thing for me.

Moreno and Collins down hurt

Charlie Gebow [5:40 PM]:

@Derek Gray Oh I get it, because being a lady is somehow a bad and degrading thing

Matthew Kenerly [5:39 PM]:

@sgw94 There’s a good reason why

Knighton was a heck of a pickup by DEN. Underrated player, but has really stood out in the playoffs

Ryan Nanni [5:07 PM]:

“(Denver’s) thinking about getting to the quarterback, not stopping the run.” And of course the next play is a run stopped for a loss, because Phil Simms.

Stephen White [5:07 PM]:

Center got dominated by Knighton

Stephen White [5:06 PM]:

Arghhhhh i hate Simms

Help* dang auto correct

So Phillips is back

Ryan Van Bibber [4:25 PM]:

@mattufford the Patriots also had a pass rush in that game

Stephen White [4:24 PM]:

10 points is nothing to Brady. Question is how long can the Pats defense hold up? Bending but not breaking on 2 drives so far but….

JHouse [4:23 PM]:

Simms says “this is the right call, get some points on the board”. If they go for it, get it, and score a TD, does he realize that’s MORE points…

Matt Ufford [4:22 PM]:

@Ryan Van Bibber Well, it’s 65 degrees warmer this time.

Stephen White [4:22 PM]:

Nice tackle by Ryan. Peyton saw Collins blitz and immediately went to the swing pass to his side

Mark Ennis [4:21 PM]:

Great open field tackle.

Ryan Nanni [4:20 PM]:

Seems like all the big plays for Denver are in the middle – outside throws aren’t going for much.

Ryan Van Bibber [4:20 PM]:

think we’ll see a turnover in this one? was a huge part of the reg. season game between these two

Nice hit by McCourty. He was hauling

Clay Wendler [4:20 PM]:

BON JOVI

Clay Wendler [4:20 PM]:

Stephen White [4:19 PM]:

Yeah Peyton is in a zone now. Pats need a big play or it might be curtains

Stephen White [4:18 PM]:

Broncos doesnt want the back blocking Collins so they sent the center his way and had the back block across

Brendan O’Neil [4:08 PM]:

what a terrible spot

Stephen White [4:08 PM]:

Brady mad

Charlie Gebow [4:08 PM]:

Never count out Timeout Tom

Stephen White [4:07 PM]:

Helluva tackle

Mark Ennis [4:07 PM]:

“Gary! Gary, Indiana!”

Rodger Sherman [4:07 PM]:

The Nationwide Insurance action cam just showed… fans in the stands. So, not action.

Ryan Van Bibber [4:06 PM]:

@Mark Ennis running the “Springfield” play would really confuse the hell out of everyone

Stephen White [4:05 PM]:

Guys dropping like flies so far. War of attrition the rest of the game

Stephen White [4:04 PM]:

Well five now

Stephen White [4:04 PM]:

They key with Blount isnt the six yards, its the 4 carries with 5 min left in the first half.

Mark Ennis [4:04 PM]:

Stephen White [4:03 PM]:

Nice catch

Stephen White [4:03 PM]:

Vereen in the game its pass. How that screen worked so well is beyond me

Mark Ennis [4:01 PM]:

Brady makes a throw like that look so effortless.

Stephen White [4:01 PM]:

Dobson sighting. This would be a good day to try to justify his draft status this past spring

Stephen White [4:01 PM]:

@Mark Ennis yep, plus that route to the flat is always hard to cover so everybody seems to want to cover that guy

Charlie Gebow [4:00 PM]:

The Omaha playout was the most clever thing a thing shown on CBS has done in the past decade.

Stephen White [4:00 PM]:

(Talib was limping off, looked like his left leg got attention, but team announces rib…I have no idea)

Clay Wendler [3:59 PM]:

NBSP [3:59 PM]:

Omaha by Counting Crows on the fade out?! I approve

Mark Ennis [3:59 PM]:

@sgw94 it’s bc he stops moving, right? Get caught up looking for guys moving?

Clay Wendler [3:58 PM]:

Stephen White [3:58 PM]:

Aqib Talib is officially questionable to return with a rib injury. Huge loss for Patriots.

Brendan O’Neil [3:57 PM]:

NE D has been on the field a lot in that altitude – gotta cash in points before half and DEN gets the ball back

Ryan Nanni [3:56 PM]:

2nd	7:50
NEW ENGLAND	0
THAT’S RIGHT TOM BRADY PEYTON JUST CALLED YOU FAT	10

Ryan Van Bibber [3:56 PM]:

Aqib Talib leaves with injury

by Matthew Fairburn, SBNation.com

The Patriots’ top cornerback went to the locker room for further evaluation.

Stephen White [3:56 PM]:

Defenses always forget to cover that second guy who just sits down in the endzone

PikesPeakUC [3:56 PM]:

CBS managed to show 100 people’s facial reactions in about 10 seconds.

Stephen White [3:56 PM]:

Nice play design. Someone else has run that play these playoffs, I think the Chargers out in the field

Clay Wendler [3:55 PM]:

Ryan Nanni [3:55 PM]:

This line judge clapping like a seal for the ball is killllllling me.

Stephen White [3:55 PM]:

First down

Mark Ennis [3:54 PM]:

Oh lord we’re counting Omahas

PikesPeakUC [3:54 PM]:

“They’re begging you to run the football, and sometimes you just have to run it.”

Stephen White [3:53 PM]:

Peyton is taking what they give him. Pats have to scrap this tendencies gameplan

Dikembe Meiztombo [3:53 PM]:

Jeezaloo

Ryan Nanni [3:52 PM]:

FAT MAN FAT MAN

Stephen White [3:52 PM]:

Moreno goes BEASTMODE

Stephen White [3:51 PM]:

Why is Collins off the field?

Stephen White [3:51 PM]:

I hope the refs in the second game call it like these refs

Stephen White [3:50 PM]:

Peyton getting his rhythm

Stephen White [3:49 PM]:

I thought that oass was tipped but I guess not

Stephen White [3:48 PM]:

Pass tipped

Ryan Nanni [3:48 PM]:

Denver’s had two plays on this drive that shouldn’t have worked. THEY CHEATIN, Y’ALL.

Stephen White [3:48 PM]:

Cant miss that tackle Jones

Mark Ennis [3:48 PM]:

So, this is a really well played football game.

Stephen White [3:47 PM]:

@NBSP yes, definitely that way here in Tampa

Stephen White [3:47 PM]:

Three man rush

Brendan O’Neil [3:47 PM]:

“@brendan_o: you should host a live chat during these games man”Maybe next year

— Sage Rosenfels (@SageRosenfels18) January 19, 2014

Brendan O’Neil [3:47 PM]:

You all want to send an invite to Sage?

Stephen White [3:47 PM]:

Dropped that one in a bucket

Stephen White [3:46 PM]:

Hightower or the safety was wrong on that Moreno run. Hightower went to the middle and so did the safety who rolled down on the snap. Id bet Hightower was supposed to stay backside

NBSP [3:46 PM]:

@sgw94 hadn’t followed him before he came to NE, has that been true throughout his career?

Ryan Van Bibber [3:46 PM]:

there was Collins on the blitz

Stephen White [3:45 PM]:

Talib stay pulling something. Hard to rely on him in big games. Sad/harsh but true

Ryan Nanni [3:44 PM]:

In fairness, that ball didn’t hit Thomas in the EXACT center of the numbers.

Stephen White [3:44 PM]:

Finally letting Collins loose. He is a handful

Stephen White [3:44 PM]:

What happened to Southern Miss?! Only won one game this year also

Stephen White [3:43 PM]:

Collins again

Stephen White [3:43 PM]:

Nice run by Moreno

Matt Conner [3:41 PM]:

Will be interesting to see Del Rio’s adjustments in secondary

Ryan Van Bibber [3:41 PM]:

@sgw94 he’s secretly just trying to get Michael Lombardi to stop calling him about the Browns job

Stephen White [3:40 PM]:

Very impressed with the Broncos defense so far. Not so much with McDaniels’ gameplan. Just because you can throw doesnt mean you should when running the ball has been so good to you lately

Charlie Gebow [3:39 PM]:

Can we replace Simms with that British guy who does those commentary videos?

Ryan Van Bibber [3:39 PM]:

In case you're wondering, yes, penalty rates are down in the playoffs. Refs are more hesitant to throw flag http://t.co/izYQhWBCun

King in Canada [3:37 PM]:

saloon shootout, here wo go

Stephen White [3:36 PM]:

Oh man if DRC goes down…

Stephen White [3:36 PM]:

Should run a screen

King in Canada [3:36 PM]:

glad I’m listening to this on sirius

Stephen White [3:35 PM]:

Pick

Mark Ennis [3:35 PM]:

Phil Simms finds himself in the middle of another sentence he can't find his way out of.

— Schmutzie_ (@Schmutzie_) January 19, 2014

Stephen White [3:35 PM]:

Feels weird to say this but the Pats aren’t running enough

King in Canada [3:34 PM]:

yea Tom! Why aren’t you accounting for elevation and air density

Ryan Van Bibber [3:34 PM]:

Phil Simms' pet peeves: Trying for interceptions and R-rated movies.

— Shutdown Fullback (@ShutdwnFullback) January 19, 2014

David Fucillo [3:34 PM]:

So excited not to have CBS handling the Super Bowl

Stephen White [3:34 PM]:

Malik Jackson almost got there

Matt Conner [3:33 PM]:

Phil Simms is ruining this broadcast for me

GreetingsADM [3:33 PM]:

Too scrappy to get to then end of that route.

Dikembe Meiztombo [3:32 PM]:

You can’t miss that throw, Tom!

Ryan Nanni [3:32 PM]:

(cough) PUT IN MALLETT (cough)

Stephen White [3:32 PM]:

Gotta make that one Tom

Stephen White [3:32 PM]:

DRC jumped the route. Almost a pick six

Clay Wendler [3:29 PM]:

christophermx4 [3:29 PM]:

I wish The Verge had live blogs like this

Stephen White [3:27 PM]:

Broncos up 3-0. NE might wanna run on FIRST down this time insuring that Blount possibly gets more than one carry on this drive.

Ryan Nanni [3:27 PM]:

1st	3:48
GOSTKOWSKI	0
PRATER	3

Charlie Gebow [3:26 PM]:

NEVER COUNT OUT POINTS SCORING PRATER

Mark Ennis [3:26 PM]:

Seems like the Broncos are focusing on the single side when going trips. Not sure if that's design or dictated by NE alignment.

— NFL Philosophy (@NFLosophy) January 19, 2014

Stephen White [3:26 PM]:

Jones affected that throw

Stephen White [3:25 PM]:

Another nice play by Collins

Ryan Van Bibber [3:25 PM]:

Stephen White [3:25 PM]:

Let em play

King in Canada [3:24 PM]:

uhohs

Stephen White [3:24 PM]:

The Broncos’ pass protection creates all of this. They are doing a great job so far

Ryan Nanni [3:24 PM]:

Peyton is ZINGING these throws to the middle.

Mark Ennis [3:24 PM]:

What was McCourty doing there? Manning didn’t even look him off.

Stephen White [3:24 PM]:

And the safety i guess

Stephen White [3:23 PM]:

Damn Thomas beat Aqib

Stephen White [3:22 PM]:

Back to back plays

Mark Ennis [3:22 PM]:

@sgw94 there’s your man.

Stephen White [3:22 PM]:

Man that was a better play than I thought

Stephen White [3:22 PM]:

There he is

Ryan Nanni [3:22 PM]:

Quarterbacks shouldn’t get passing yard credit for screen passes. IT’S JUST A FANCY HANDOFF, JERK.

Stephen White [3:22 PM]:

They should be blitzing Collins more. Nice screen. Best screen team in the league, Ive said it all year

Mark Ennis [3:21 PM]:

Both teams have been forced to take shots down the field on 3rd and medium. Neither converted.

Stephen White [3:20 PM]:

There was pressure coming from Brady’s backside by it looks like Ayers. Mightve been Phillips

Ryan Nanni [3:19 PM]:

Patriots only averaged about 2 three-and-outs during the regular season. Already hit that number today.

PikesPeakUC [3:18 PM]:

Apparently New England’s practice squad got a lot of run this week.

Mark Ennis [3:18 PM]:

I am just stunned that Denver keeps only rushing three and four on 3rd down.

Ryan Van Bibber [3:18 PM]:

Denver appears to be well prepared for Blount

Stephen White [3:18 PM]:

Good coverage

Stephen White [3:17 PM]:

NE might want to spread em out some to run

Stephen White [3:17 PM]:

Good run defense so far for Denver

Ryan Nanni [3:17 PM]:

I like your “Beat It” jacket, Tracy Wolfson.

Stephen White [3:17 PM]:

Play action should be huge for the Pats today

Clay Wendler [3:14 PM]:

Stephen White [3:14 PM]:

Been seeing Collins appear to cover Thomas man to man and hold his own so far

Stephen White [3:13 PM]:

Another blitz picked up well by the line and backs

Ryan Nanni [3:13 PM]:

THROW THE DANG BALL, BOBO

Stephen White [3:13 PM]:

Hightower started all year

Stephen White [3:12 PM]:

Good force by Jones

PikesPeakUC [3:12 PM]:

This is the perfect time to debut the Broncos secret weapon they’ve been working on all season: The Manning Wildcat

Ryan Van Bibber [3:11 PM]:

man, the stadium PA should play a calliope on a bobbled snap

Stephen White [3:11 PM]:

Crossing routes are killers. And no pressure on Peyton again

Mark Ennis [3:11 PM]:

Lighten up, Manning. Geez. Bobbled that snap for like five seconds.

Stephen White [3:11 PM]:

Blitz and great pickup by the Broncos line and backs

Oh No Romo [3:11 PM]:

That bobbled snap was planned, right?

Stephen White [3:09 PM]:

He should be around him all game

Mark Ennis [3:09 PM]:

Decent pass pro for both teams on their first attempts.

Stephen White [3:09 PM]:

Chandler Jones just missed Peyton

Stephen White [3:09 PM]:

Look for a double move on DRC soon btw. If the Pats pass blocking can hold up i think they will target him a few times today

One Piece of Cake [3:08 PM]:

Cromartie!

Mark Ennis [3:08 PM]:

Woo DRC got away with pulling Collie’s jersey there.

Stephen White [3:08 PM]:

Broncos rush 4 and DRC gets the PBU

Mark Ennis [3:07 PM]:

Denver got up there and changed the front at the last second.

Stephen White [3:07 PM]:

Don’t get cute New England, ride the hoss that brought ye

PikesPeakUC [3:07 PM]:

I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these two teams makes the Super Bowl.

Mark Ennis [3:06 PM]:

I think Denver wins an extremely close game.

Stephen White [3:06 PM]:

Here we go.

Mark Ennis [3:03 PM]:

How did CBS find someone to sing the anthem when they don't have a singing contest show on their network?

— Jamie (@chuckycrater) January 19, 2014

Stephen White [3:02 PM]:

Im predicting Blount and Jamie Collins have big days again

trinibobcruz@gmail.com [3:01 PM]:

want to watch the game

Mark Ennis [3:01 PM]:

Hours and hours of Manning family videos and not one appearance from Kevin Hart.

Ryan Nanni [2:59 PM]:

@Ryan Van Bibber I think you misspelled “crew neck sweatshirt.”

Ryan Van Bibber [2:58 PM]:

I used to live for those highlight videos you’d get with an SI subscription

Mark Ennis [2:57 PM]:

“If you could go back and watch history unfold, would you?” Hey dude, literally every thing that’s ever happened is on YouTube now.

Stephen White [2:55 PM]:

Great playoff football afternoon folks!

Ryan Nanni [2:55 PM]:

I’m picking the CBS audio guy who had that outro music blaring over Dan Marino.

Stephen White [2:55 PM]:

Omaha deez

Mark Ennis [2:54 PM]:

SAMMY FREAKING WINDER

Mark Ennis [2:54 PM]:

When I was a kid I had a VHS cassette of the Broncos and John Elway beating BUBBY BRISTER AND THE STEELERS in the playoffs.

Ryan Van Bibber [2:49 PM]:

Hello friends. Who are you picking today?
