Can't remember if this has been posted yet.
remember the last time the Patriots came to Seattle and that moron Patriots commentator Zolak saying Wilson was not a QB and later "he's by far the worst QB in the league" haha. And Browner is "one of the dirtiest players in the league". He's not saying that now that's for sure haha. Also said Seattle was nothing but uneducated fans (even though his own co host had to keep reminding him of the rules lol). I'm so glad we have Steve Raible and Warren Moon, very classy and always so full of excitement, really shows how classless, unprofessional and terrible those Patriots commentators are, and Boston fans and fans in that region in general.
Here is the hilarious audio:

The Eagles have been searching for a personnel executive to assist coach Chip Kelly in the front office since reorganizing their hierarchy and moving Howie Roseman out of the General Manager job earlier this month.
It’s been a fitful process for the Eagles, who have seen overtures blocked by teams and the candidates themselves. Seahawks director of college scouting Scott Fitterer is the latest to join that list.
Seahawks General Manager John Schneider said at Tuesday’s Super Bowl Media Day, via multiple reports, that Fitterer interviewed for the job with the Eagles, but has opted to stay in his current position. He joins the Chiefs’ Chris Ballard, the Buccaneers’ Jon Robinson and the Texans’ Brian Gaine as candidates that have dropped out of consideration.
Chris Polian of the Jaguars and Chris Grier of the Dolphins are thought to remain in the mix for the job along with Eagles assistant director of pro personnel Ed Marynowitz. Whoever takes the job would not have control over roster decisions, as they would be working under Kelly and fulfilling other aspects of the job usually performed by the General Manager.

Maybe the NFL needs to focus more on what Lynch does outside the NFL, than what he does in locker rooms. Like this:

Seahawks' D in midst of an impressive run
By Sharon Katz, ESPN Stats & Information | ESPN.com
The turning point in the Seattle Seahawks' season was undoubtedly their 24-20 loss to Kansas City in Week 11. The Seahawks allowed a season-high 190 rushing yards, including 159 to Jamaal Charles, and fell to 6-4 with a 56 percent chance of missing the playoffs, according to numberFire.com.
Since that loss, Seattle has won eight straight games and is riding a defense that -- when healthy -- is looking a lot like its defense at the end of last season.
What might not have been widely understood is how average Seattle’s defense was in its first 10 games. The Seahawks’ defense ranked 13th in efficiency during that time and was costing the team about 1.2 points per game.
Flash-forward eight games, and Seattle is in the midst of one of the best defensive stretches in the last few seasons. The Seahawks are holding opponents to fewer than 10 points per game and have an NFL-best 10.3 defensive efficiency since the start of Week 12.
For context, Seattle held its opponents to 11.5 points per game and had a 10.6 defensive efficiency rating in its final eight games of the 2013 season, which was capped off by an impressive defensive outing (21.6 efficiency rating) against Peyton Manning and the Broncos in the Super Bowl.
Opposing quarterbacks have struggled to solve Seattle’s defensive puzzle. Every quarterback whom the Seahawks faced during their current eight-game winning streak posted a QBR at least 27 points below what he had entering the game. That includes Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton in the playoffs.
Although Seattle has not faced a daunting set of quarterbacks during that time, the Seahawks made bad quarterbacks look worse and above-average quarterbacks look bad.
In fact, until meeting Rodgers in the NFC Championship Game, Seattle had held seven straight teams to a Total QBR below 31. Since the start of 2006, no team had held seven straight opponents to a QBR that low.
One difference in limiting these QBs has been the play of its secondary. Seattle has the most interceptions (seven) and is tied for the fewest completions allowed (12) on throws of 15 yards or longer in the last eight weeks, including the playoffs.
So what has changed in the final eight weeks?
First, Seattle’s starting lineup finally got healthy. In six of its final eight games, Seattle started the same 11 players on defense. In the two games with a different lineup, cornerback Tharold Simon was the only differing starter.
This consistency coincided with the return of linebacker Bobby Wagner, who missed five games with a turf-toe injury. Wagner’s first game back was against Arizona, the start of Seattle’s eight-game winning streak. During that streak, the Seahawks lead the league in almost every defensive category.
Upon Wagner’s return, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told ESPN.com’s Terry Blount: “It was great to have him out there. I went up to Bobby and said, ‘Geez, I didn’t realize what a factor you are.’ He is one of the heartbeat guys for this club.”
Even Carroll’s praise might be understating Wagner’s impact. With him on the field, Seattle is holding opponents to a 36.8 Total QBR, compared with a 60.3 Total QBR without him.
Seattle’s defensive resurgence also coincided with the return of Kam Chancellor from injury and improved health of others in the secondary.
Will the Seahawks’ defense continue its suffocating run?
The health of the unit, so important in the team’s late-season surge, might be in question with Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas battling injuries. Seattle’s ability to overcome the injuries – and Tom Brady’s efficiency against Seattle’s defense as a whole – might determine how the game unfolds.
