How Many Thought We'd Lose When Betts Fumbled?

[JuicyJ]

I had a heart attack when it happened and buried my face into the couch like an ostrich....

BUT

I was confident our defense would step it up and prevent them from scoring. I definitely did NOT expect us to get a pick though....that was amazing~

[Potato Sack]

For me, I think it had a lot to do with where Betts fumbled the ball. I think I was optimistic, because it's Seattle. If it had been the Giants, then I think all of us would be VERY pessimistic about the potential outcome.

The defense played well last night. We need to get TDs in the red zone and quit dropping passes.

I was just sitting there quietly screaming in the inside of my head saying "This is F-ing typical!!!" and just sat there in disarray...

[Henry]

I was pissed about the turnover but I didn't think we were going to lose. With no timeouts they had to pass the ball and we had shut their passing game down pretty well all game long. I didn't see the INT coming, but I figured we still had a better than even chance of winning.

[COOLY_BULLY]

I stained the underwear on that one....

Didnt get to see the INT because i was cleaning my underwear at the time:applause:

[Fan035]

Now that's funny!

[LandoverLex]

When Portis went down. I said to myself here comes Mr. Fumbleitus himself Betts and Woah and behold BOOM the ball is loose. He had better go take Springs to Red Lobster for saving his Arse!!!

Shades of that St. Louis game 2(maybe 3?) years ago.

Shades of one of 4-5 games we've lost after Betts fumbles in the 4th quarter.

[jthor99]

I certainly did.

I told my father as soon as he came on the field from the sidelines, and this is a direct quote.."I like Betts, but the guy is a fumbler.." about 15 seconds later the refs were saying the seahawks had the football.

[Redd]

*Raises hand

I kept saying 'please don't fumble Betts please don't fumble Betts PLEASE don't fumble Betts'..................................then he fumbles.:doh:

Good thing we won though because, well:seahawksu and we need to beat crappy teams down the stretch.

"HOLD THE BALL! HOLD THE BALL! HOLD THE BALL!"

drop.

"holy. ish."

[HSW]

As soon as I heard on the radio they were sending Betts in I thought OMG

he is going to fumble the ball. Really.

[Critz1407]

I love Betts hes a good back, but in tight game situations please put the ball in someone elses hands. He doesn't handle pressure well.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I thought at least overtime.

I easily had visions of Engram or Branch getting by our secondary and Hasselbeck heaving it long. Kinda like the Rams game with Donnie Avery.

This team can never make it easy. I fully understand that not every game is a blowout, but we can't even beat the bad teams with authority.

[DCCOP]

I told my wife, " here comes fumbles " as soon as I saw him running onto the field.

[gortiz]

after the fumble ... one thing coursed through my head. Lavar's INT in Tampa to seal the game.

the first thing I said to myself on the Hawks first play:

"We are getting a pick to ice this"

no b.s. - blind homerism maybe, but its true.

[tml6157]

Mark me down for thinking we were gonna lose too!

[Stophovr6]

I didn't think we would lose but I was pissed. I don't think Betts should ever get the ball in the final minutes of the game. He just isn't clutch. Every other minute of the game he can play, just keep him off the field the last two minutes of each half.

[ntotoro]

I didn't think we'd lose, strangely enough, but I also let out some "colorful metaphors" as soon as I saw Betts hit the field.

He didn't disappoint with that fumble, either. My Wife looked at me like "how did you know something bad would happen"

Ever just get that gut feeling?

I didn't expect the Int, but I also didn't expect Seattle to be able to score, for whatever reason. Betts just is not a big-time player, someone you can depend on in a pinch.

[Passizle]

While I did not think we would lose... I thought for sure we were going into overtime. Too many years of being on the wrong sides of "those games".

I need to up my faith a little.

[KingGibbs]

Honestly? I didn't think we would lose this time because the 'hags were out of TO's and I just didn't get that bad vibe that I normally would.

Betts sure does have a habit of fumbling at cruicial times though.

[DGreenistheBest]

All I have to say is Springs may be fragile, but when he does play...its totally worth it.

[zoony]

I admit, I thought 'same old Redskins'. :doh:

I was positive there was a flag thrown on the Springs interception that would give Seattle back the ball. I was just waiting for it.

[Dirk McGirk]

I didnt think we'd lose, but I def got nervous. That whole game, just another example of us playing down to a team I felt. At the same time though, thats about as healthy as that team has been all year, right? They are 2-8 because they started so poorly with all their top WRs out and then Hasselbeck out after that, so they maybe have been a better team then we(I) thought

[Peregrine]

Fortunately, the best defense is the Seattle Seahawks offense.
