I didn't think it was a penalty. 

And neither was the hit on Brees in the Niner game.  Might as well put a skirt on QBs.   >:(

I agree.  Just a solid hit.

Still a lot of football left, but Seattle is the best team in the NFL right now.  If they get home field, they're going to the Super Bowl IMO. 

Harvin looked jacked to play. That kick return was awesome.......did u see Carroll smilin??  ;D

The "hitting zone" for quarterbacks that can be hit in the pocket has been reduced to the size of a dinner plate more or less.

Also bullshit penalties. The Patriots would be 9-1 without the home-cooking from inferior teams.

Manning with 41 TDs.  Pretty amazing performance so far after his neck surgery.

Perhaps.  He's one of Kaepernick's favorite targets.  Now that they're finally healthy, he'll get more open looks.  Was great to see Crabtree on the field yesterday.

He just has the tools to be sooo much better than Gronk. They need to find a way to get him the ball.

That's partly a product of their offense.  They're running, ball control team.  He's second on the team in both targets and receptions.  If they had a more wide open offense like NE, he'd have more catches.

A TE should be perfect in that offense.  A lot of play action plus secondary having to come up for run support. Just a shame they cant find a way.  They have better RB's and WR's than NE.

True. 

He does have 10 TDs, which is tied for third most in the NFL, and that's with one missed game due to injury.

He's a monster in the redzone.

Look at the quarterbacks. Brady makes people better. Kap is still finding his way.

Seahawks fans set off seismometer with jumping, cheering
Posted: Dec 03, 2013 6:22 AM HST
Updated: Dec 03, 2013 6:27 AM HST

SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks fans have set a new noise record for loudest outdoor sports stadium, taking back a mark they achieved earlier this season.

An official from Guinness World Records recorded the crowd noise at 137.6 decibels during the Seahawks victory over the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. The record came during the second quarter of Seattle's 34-7 victory and was announced on the Seahawks Twitter page.

A University of Washington earth sciences professor says the legendary noisemaking of Seattle Seahawks' hometown fans registered on a nearby seismometer with roughly the same energy as a magnitude 1 or 2 earthquake during Seattle's 34-7 Monday night victory over the New Orleans Saints.

John Vidale is also director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. He says it's hard to compare the fans' half minute of stomping, jumping and shouting during a first quarter fumble return for a touchdown to the quick "pop" of a small earthquake. Still he says, "the energy is very roughly the same."

The UW seismometer in question is located near CenturyLink Field.

Seahawks fans had set a record of 136.6 in a win over San Francisco in September. The mark was topped by Kansas City fans in October with 137.5 decibels.

To put that in perspective, a jet engine at 100 feet is about 140 decibels.
