ESPN: Sizing up Seattle's chances against Cowboys

[hardcorebob]

It is unfortunate that Jones will probably retire now. Good pro and a nice fellow to boot.

It would not have mattered much. Ware has pretty much eaten his lunch even since his first game as a rookie.

Walter Jones - T, Seattle
Seahawks coach Jim Mora confirmed that LT Walter Jones (knee surgeries) will not play in Week 8.
Fantasy Source spin: "There is a point where you just have to say, `Is it going to happen, or isn't it?'" Mora said, hinting Jones is close to going on I.R. "We're not there yet, but certainly we're closer." OT Sean Locklear (ankle) is also unlikely to play. Expect Dallas' blitzes to give Matt Hasselbeck lots of trouble on Sunday.

"Somewhat decent"? Are you kidding me?

The dude should have been a pro bowler the last two years. He was snubbed twice.

James is not a Pro Bowl quality ILB. Good player, solid enough to win with.

But to act like he was a huge snub the past two seasons is delusional. He's played the best football of his career during that time, but if you compare his best to that of his competition for Honolulu like Tatupu, Willis and Urlacher, you wouldn't be considering his exclusion a "snub".

The Seahawks should not be taken lightly. Although their record is poor, they have good talent in certain areas.

Their line is porous, but they have capable playmakers in Matt Hasselbeck, TJ Houshmanzadah, and even Julius Jones (when the spirit so moves him). Their defense is decent, and they field one of the better linebacker groups in the league.

I predict a 27-16 victory for the Cowboys.

The Seahawks are not bottom-of-the-barrel. A few weeks ago, they were looking like they were back. They just have too many injury issues and that is much too much to overcome. No, they won't win. But when the season ends, we'll probably be thankful we played them now than later. They'll get better as they get healthier.

I know he was not going to play in the game anyways but the hawks just confirmed that lofa is done for the year. He is under the knife as I type this in Dr. James Andrews operating room in alabama to reattach a torn pec muscle. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Hate to hear that. These guys work hard to get ready for the season you hate to see them lose the season due to injury.

No doubt man.

I'm sure we'll get Seattle's best. Thanksgiving last year aside, they always seems to give us their best.

I'd take a one-point win, myself.

If we lose to the Seahawks.....

Your record would be 4-3.

Your trash. Stop.

Your trash. Stop.

Nice man. I make a little joke and you resort to name calling. Personally I would have said something to the effect that "we would be 4-3 but you would still have a losing record." You know, something thats actually football related.

Forgive him he's upset because Lebron's overrated along with Shaq.

I think shaq is overweight, not sure about overrated.

Your record would be 4-3.

I like you. You're very funny.

Do stick around. (Not sarcasm)

Your record would be 4-3.

Have all you Hawks fans got over getting raped in the SB against Pitt???

Anybody watching that game knows you guys should have won, you just happen to be playing the league's golden boys and you should have known there was no well in hell the league was not going to let Rooney get another ring.

With that said, you totally screwed us with that greased up ball so I was laughing my arse off watching yall get robbed call after call after call in that SB.

That was probably yalls only shot at a ring for a very long time and now yall are just a bottom feeder. To think what could have been must totally suck................................Karma baby, gotta love it

I am more over the super bowl than you are over the greased ball conspiracy theory apparantely. We had our chances to make plays and we didn't get it done. Dropped passes killed us. The refs didn't help, but we should have been able to overcome that. We were the better team between the twenty yard lines but we just couldn't put points on the board. At the end of the day we failed to accomplish our mission. Thats about all there is to it.

"With referees like these, who needs enemies??"

I've never seen a more unevenly officiated Super Bowl. I'm no fan of the Seahawks (completely indifferent, actually), but the refs absolutely hosed them against Pittsburgh.
