The AP All-Pro team has been announced, and I am one of the voters. Each year, I write up all my choices and an explanation.
At quarterback, I decided that the teammate argument was more compelling than the schedule argument.

Tom Brady saved the Seahawks by destroying the Raiders. Thank you Tom Brady
Lots of finger pointing and politicking ensued. Ultimately Tom was Spytek's lifeline. He wasn't going to lose any power struggle. The collection of hires never made sense. The defensive roster went backwards too. Tom also preferred Geno to Darnold and other options, not just Pete. He also hired Chip

I think I would go for this. Even if you don't get it, it's soooooo far for the 49ers to go with no timeouts. And still up 2 scores

I keep telling myself that regardless of what happens going forward, this Seahawks season has already been way more entertaining than anyone had any right to expect it to be (this is cope)

Key play on that drive was Darnold actually taking a check down to get to the 3rd and short

Being down 6 given how that half went is kind of a miracle tbh

Rams have run 29 plays to Seattle's 8 (with one extra drive). Seahawks could really use a sustained drive here

McVay yelling at the refs "one yard!!" saying his guy was only 1 yard downfield and then the camera cutting to the guy 4 yards deep in the end zone was fantastic production value

You heard it: It's @rbsdm.com's fault Sean McVay goes for fourth downs now
Sam Schwartzstein basically calling Ben Baldwin @rbsdm.com unhinged on Twitter regarding 4th downs (complimentary) in his shaming of teams and that it probably makes owners change their minds- was something

I am struggling to see what Seattle's path to victory in the rematch against the Rams on Thursday would look like. Mostly because I have zero faith in the Seahawks' offense.

A lot to take in here
-- On the Colts' first 22 series, they called a run on 19 of them (final one was the Rivers desperation INT that ended the game)
-- The Seahawks' run game is unspeakably bad

Mike Macdonald has been very disappointing from a game management standpoint for much of his Seahawks tenure but was A+++ at the end of the game today.
Used timeouts to preserve clock, got FG, ensuing kickoff in bounds to burn clock
