Seahawks thaw out from Minnesota, move on in the postseason

Walsh had already made all three of his kicks, including one from 47 yards through the subzero air. “And that’s it. He just didn’t feel like he had it. There wasn’t enough time to build the confidence that he needed to come in and do something”. Although the postseason ended on a sour note, the Vikings are a young team and did well to hang tough with an opponent that has played in each of the past two Super Bowls.

The Seahawks scored their first touchdown of the game early in the fourth quarter to cut the Vikings’ lead to 9-7.

Richard Sherman just collapsed on the turf.

The 46-year-old McCallum says knows all to well the anguish of missing a game-winning kick in the playoffs. “Carroll said he’d have to wait and see how things go during the week to determine whether Lynch will be able to play in next Sunday’s divisional playoff game against the Carolina Panthers.In other injury news, the only player who came away from Sunday’s game with an issue was fullback Will Tukuafu, who suffered a hamstring injury”. “I’d need to give you the times, but it was considerably faster”. “For whatever reason they sped up their mechanism. The stadium announcer said with the wind-chill factored in the temperature was -32 degrees (-25F) and Seattle can look forward to much more comfortable conditions when they visit Carolina next weekend.

“The Panthers are a great team and that will be a special game”, said Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett.

This follows the Seahawks having years ago set the precedent of allowing Lynch to determine his own training regimen and readiness for games.

It’s a remarkable stat, one that suggests an uncommon resilience in these Seahawks.

“I’ve probably never been more proud of a football team than I am of this team”, he said. “That’s what we’re talking about, that’s how we hope to be”. “We were warm, for the most part”. It’s a really good thing to know about yourself when you’re going into these games. I made a note to the guys that we are not out of a game.

A little less unique was the continued excellent play by Seattle’s defense. Boy, did that ever hold true yesterday, as the Seattle Seahawks eaked out an NFC Wild card win in Minnesota. It was the second time this season Seattle bottled up Peterson.

Everyone else for Seattle was listed as probable including starting strong safety Kam Chancellor, guard J.R. Sweezy and left tackle Russell Okung after all three missed the regular-season finale. They’ll have another week of practice and determine if Lynch can play. “Both games were basically the same”. If ya’ll had your mistakes on grand display for the world to see, would you want thousands of people tearing you down with harsh words & threats. No! The one time we make a mistake he gets 12 yards.

Coach Pete Carroll, surprised when Lynch benched himself, thought Christine Michael looked like “a real pro playing football” vs. Vikes.

Favre had Minnesota on the Saints’ 38-yard line with 19 seconds remaining and the game tied when he rolled to his right on a passing play.
