I hope we beat the Seahawks, but I'm a little worried because the Steelers don't tend to play well when they have to go to the West Coast for a game. The Steelers are 1-6 all time in Seattle.

They also haven't played very well coming off a bye. Last season we got stomped by the saints My philosophy on this season is that we had such horrible luck earlier in the season and usually stuff like that evens out, so things may start falling our way in the second half. If you flip a coin 100 times and out of the first fifty you've got head 35 times and tails 15, its pretty much a guarantee you'll still send up close to 50/50 when you are done.

Marshawn Lynch could undergo season-threatening hernia surgery

By Louis Bien on Nov 22, 2015

Marshawn Lynch's season may be in jeopardy. The veteran running back sat out Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers with an abdominal injury. The Seattle Seahawks did just fine without Lynch, beating the Niners 29-13 behind 255 total yards from backup Thomas Rawls. After the game, however, head coach Pete Carroll said that Lynch could be facing sports hernia surgery, adding that the next few days will be important to Lynch's season prospects.

Lynch has appeared in seven games this season and struggled to get going because of injuries behind a struggling Seahawks offensive line. He has 111 carries for 417 yards on the ground, good for 3.8 yards per carry -- his worst average since the 2010 season he split between Seattle and Buffalo.

If Lynch were forced to miss the rest of the season, he'd register the fewest carries in any single season of his NFL career. He is approaching 30 years old, an age considered (perhaps unjustly) a dropoff point for ball carriers.

Lynch also has two years left on his Seattle contract, and likely has every intention of getting back to full health. He reportedly told Rawls he is passing off his torch for now. Unfortunately for Lynch, his body isn't doing him any favors.

Well if we are going to lose a game, this is the one to lose. A win would be huge but I'm not counting on it.

Thomas Rawls' monster game carries Seahawks past 49ers

SEATTLE -- In mid-August, running back Thomas Rawls appeared far from a guarantee to make the Seattle Seahawks' roster.

Three months later, he carried the offense in a must-have game, piling up 255 yards on 33 touches in the team's 29-13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

The 49ers had a difficult time tackling Thomas Rawls as the Seattle running back amassed 255 total yards on Sunday.

On the Seahawks' first possession, Rawls caught a ball in the flat and turned it upfield near the right sideline. He could have easily gone out of bounds, but instead lowered his shoulder and ran over San Francisco 49ers cornerback Tramaine Brock, causing players on the Seahawks' sideline to erupt.

Coach Pete Carroll has said previously he wants a running back who is physical and seeks out contact. Rawls, an undrafted rookie out of Central Michigan, appears to be just that. He entered the game averaging a league-best 2.73 yards after contact, according to ESPN Stats & Information. And Rawls fought through 49ers tacklers all game long.

He showed he can be effective in short yardage, converting an early 3rd-and-1. But maybe more importantly, Rawls showed he can be a home run threat also. He totaled four plays of 20-plus yards -- three runs and a catch. In the fourth quarter, the Seahawks ran a play-action throwback to Rawls. He fought off 49ers linebacker Michael Wilhoite in the open field and raced to the end zone for a 31-yard score.

Rawls carried 30 times for 209 yards and caught three balls for 46 yards.

With Marshawn Lynch banged-up and set to turn 30 in April, it's impossible not to think about the Seahawks' future at running back. Lynch had missed one game in the previous five seasons combined. This year, he's missed three games and battled through neck, calf, hamstring and abdominal injuries.

The Seahawks tried and failed in the past to find Lynch's eventual replacement, trading Christine Michael and waiving Robert Turbin before the season. Rawls still has a relatively small body of work, but with another impressive performance Sunday afternoon, he's making the most of every opportunity.

One reason to get excited: In addition to Rawls, rookie wide receiver Tyler Lockett had a big game, catching four balls for 48 yards and two touchdowns. On the first score, Lockett ran a vertical route, and Wilson threw a beautiful ball for a 24-yard touchdown. On the second one, Lockett caught a slant in the red zone at the 6 yard line, fought through defenders and dragged them into the end zone. Lockett now has five touchdowns on the season -- three as a receiver, one as a kickoff returner and one as a punt returner.

One reason to panic: The Seahawks' defense continues to struggle against tight ends. Vance McDonald and Garrett Celek combined for six catches, 100 yards and a touchdown. Seemingly every week, opponents attack the Seahawks down the seams with their tight ends, and Kris Richard's group has been unable to come up with a solution on how to slow them down.

Injuries: Carroll said Friday he thought Lynch would be able to play against the 49ers, but Lynch ended up missing his third game of the season. He suffered the abdominal injury prior to the team's Week 10 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, but played 79 percent of the team's offensive snaps in that game. On Sunday, center Patrick Lewis left with an ankle injury and linebacker Nick Moody had a hamstring issue.

Cornerback Cary Williams was replaced by DeShawn Shead, but the move didn't appear to be injury-related.

Up next: The Seahawks have a big matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at CenturyLink Field. Pittsburgh had a bye this weekend, but enters Week 12 with a 6-4 record.

Well the Bengals look like they are going to continue their implosion against the Cards tonight.. They are at home against the rams next week, I think we could still win the division if we can unleash hell in December again. The Bengals will lose 2 more times this season, they may win next week but anything can happen.

I don't think a superbowl is completely out of the question, we could easily end up with the 5 seed this year and play a afc south team in round one. However there are some really good teams out there. I think the Pats* and panthers are going to be very hard to beat in the playoffs, that would be an interesting superbowl, although I don't even wanna see Brady there again.

Hey I'm just being optimistic and do believe in that theory, its really more of a superstition I guess. Ill be surprised if we keep getting decimated by injuries and having freak losses like the Scobee debacle.

OL needs to raise their play in a big way......Gilbert and big V......you guys better kick some Seahawk ass.

Gilbert.beechum... And any other tackle on our team has been suspect in my mind since last season.....Those guys's ability to raise their game enough to handle the Avrils and dumervilles of the league will play a major part In Whether this team can truly have a shot at a Sb trophy.

This game is big in my eyes.....The steelers are going to need nearly every one of these games down the stretch....They are coming off a bye week, so they've had the extra time to get ready for the intense playoff like atmosphere.....If they are serious about post season aspirations....they shouldn't be looking like they don't have a clue in how to deal with the Seahawks and the crowd.

The bye week served the Steelers well: The Jets and Raiders both lost. There was an extra week to get healthy.

The Steelers are walking into hostile territory but as I've said before: BR7 seems to have this uncanny ability to play well when the chips are on the line.

The Steelers have to be looking at the AFC North standings and feeling a bit more optimistic than they were a few weeks ago (I know I am). Let's see if that translates to intensity on the field.

Does anyone know the teams travel plans? Being they have a bad track record out West, one would think they would get out to Seattle a day or two earlier than usual!?

Report: WR Martavis Bryant and ILB Ryan Shazier miss Steelers Monday practice

By Jeff.Hartman on Nov 23, 2015

The Pittsburgh Steelers are back to work preparing for the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12, and reports state they had two starters missing practice on Monday.

With the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 11 bye week in the rear view mirror, they now turn their complete focus to their Week 12 opponent, the Seattle Seahawks. The Steelers were back at work Monday at their South Side facility, but there were two prominent names who didn't participate in practice.

As reported by DKonPittsburghSports.com, WR Martavis Bryant and ILB Ryan Shazier both missed Monday's practice session. As the report states, teammates confirmed the duo missing the workout.

For Shazier, he was nursing a knee injury leading up to their Week 10 game against the Cleveland Browns which caused him to miss several practices leading up to the game. However, the injury didn't cause him to miss the game against the Browns.

Bryant would be an addition to the injury report, as he wasn't mentioned on any injury report since returning to the team after his 4-game suspension, and missing a 5th game due to a knee injury.

Mike Tomlin will address the media Tuesday at noon to discuss injuries, and the upcoming opponent, in his weekly press conference. In the meantime, it looks as if the Steelers' injury issues continue, even after the bye week.

Posting on Seattle's forums really makes me appreciate the level of experience, intelligence, and wisdom we have on these boards as a group of fans.

They are extremely outlandish, childish, immature, and have extreme knee-jerk reactions to subtle aspects of the game.

I know every fan base blows things out of proportion, but theirs really seems to fight and argue and turn on each other more so than agree to disagree.

It's a sad state of affairs when this is the healthiest this team has been, and it's still missing two All-Pro players on one side of the ball.

Sometimes it is not the best team but the one with the most luck regarding injuries that prevails - in the AFC that team currently is the Bengals

Injuries have wrecked the Ravens and the Pats* offense is starting to show the impact of multiple injuries

Yeah but the Bengals are the Bengals. They really proved it when simulating the count...that was a ridiculous penalty.
