tonorator Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 so is everyone too afraid to comment? alexander puts up a scant 50 yards against the lions? are the gods of madden wreaking havoc once again? was this just a fluke? enquiring minds want to know ...

Steelhead Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 didn't he start out 2005 with no TDs as well? I need to see a couple more games before I say the curse strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickvick Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I hate to say it because I am a Pack fan but the Lions defense looks really good.That had nothing to do with a curse.I do not recall seeing Lions defenders bring it like that in years.Ernie Sims is a madman.

cliaz Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I would hold off on the curse talk for now. It's way too early but it does seem interesting that the lions D held their Offense to crap. Let's hear it Seahawk fans, Concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haywood Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I watched the Lions game yesterday and their D is the real deal. Hasselbeck was getting hit constantly and Alexander was consistently wrapped up in the backfield. It's too bad their O sucks a fat one. Maybe the loss of Hutchinson is a bigger deal than people think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the loss of Hutchinson is a bigger deal than people think. Now if we could only get the offense to do the same! E. Sims looks like the real deal.

Bill Swerski Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Did Shaun tear his ACL or something? Sheesh, I thought that only Cubs fans still believed in curses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chonchito Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 i don't know who this "shaun" alexander is that you speak of. those who read tunnel vision know his real name is steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrudge Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 didn't he start out 2005 with no TDs as well? I need to see a couple more games before I say the curse strikes. According to this week's Tunnel Vision, he had 73 yards and 0 TD week 1 last year as well. But that was against Jacksonville which I thought had the better defense. Either Detroit upgraded it's defense, Shaun had an off week, or the curse is alive and well. But I would agree that a couple more games are needed. Now if his leg gets ripped off at the knee, then I'd say the curse is still around. i don't know who this "shaun" alexander is that you speak of. those who read tunnel vision know his real name is steve.I saw that to. I was like, who's Steve? I know there is a Stephen Alexander, but not a Steve. But then I thought, well, maybe it was like Steven Jackson where somepeople spell his name Steve, Steven, or Stephen. But then the record setting 28 TD confirmed that they don't know how to spell the reigning top RB's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedog Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 i thought the madden curse was injury or missing games due to being on the madden cover. I guess suckiness is a curse, but 1 game does not make a trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The O-line looked like the one that was cursed yesterday...Alexander had nothing to run through...I think they will miss Hutch more than people thought... and LJ didn't do squat either yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownsfan420 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The Lions D looked pretty good. I think it was a fluke. SA is a great back. He has to overcome the loss of Hutchison though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcat2334 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Naw- Hawks struggled against a fired up, fast D playing their home opener, period. SA alwyas has games where he is less than stellar- he just didn't get a chance to pop a TD. The Lion D played well, and Sea O had a poor showing, let's hold off on any curses for now.

Raider.Nation Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 and LJ didn't do squat either yesterday 148 total yards on 22 touches is now considered doing nothing?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I think our Lion defense is definately on the rise. Sims played great and Rogers and Hall were dominating. That being said the Seattle defense looked to miss Hutchinson a great deal. Jones also got hurt and did not look his dominating self. I think if Seattle would of stayed with the pass they would of had a lot more success. I mean Hasslebeck was 25 for 30. it was obvious the Lions made their minds up to stop the run and let them beat us with the pass if they could. they still got the victory on the road so they did what they needed to do so I guess none of that matters. To me Seattle played a team that stacked against the run and it was a team that the Hawks did not know what to expect from with all the changes. I think if they came back to play us tommorrow they would beat us by more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Also, the o-line looked about the same with Hutch in their first game against Jackonsville last year. yeah..but it is pretty hard to compare the Jag's front 4 with my Lions.

Jedi Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 It's week 1. The center missed a lot of preseason to injury, the right tackle replacing Hutch had difficulty and even Walter Jones looked to be on his heels a bit... Mack Strong too. They need some time, the Lions came to play. Probably a good wake up call for the Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Jones looks good too. Seahawks defense may be better than their offense this year. Jones should do well against other matchups.

Venus Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 He's still healthy. That's all that matters. Do the Seahawks ahve any night games? He has a history of blowing up on Sunday Nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's too early to call 'curse' just yet, Alexander is healthy so that has to count for something. We still got 15 games to go... Unless of course my fantasy schedule shows that I am playing someone who has Alexander. Then I'll be shouting "Madden Curse" from the rooftops!!!

Seahawks21 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Man I thought they had finally found the curse breaker!!! I'm thinking it is about time for EA to start featuring all-time greats who have already passed away on their cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
