Blogging the NFC Championship Game – 2nd Quarter

14:53: 17-0 as Alexander runs up in her like Bruce Jenner. I mean, runs into the endzone.

14:45 He Hate Me spotting! I mentioned Chris Weinke watch to Ryan McGowan. Ryan: “Who is older, Weinke or Doug Flutie?”

12:38 Huge throw and catch from Delhomme to Carter that breathes some life into this Carolina offense.

11:35 Carolina is trying too hard to involve Smith in the offense and Seattle’s not having any part of it. Smith is pissed. He looks like he’s about to go to the no respect card again. Carolina has to punt. Not even a FG try. FOX shows Smith melting down on the sidelines.

9:05 Smith takes it to the house on a punt return but there’s a flag on the play and it’s all for naught. Oh my god. They pick up the flag and it’s a TD. The only way Carolina could back into this game. The replay shows that there was indeed a block in the back. Joey Porter says “come on man, everyone wants Jake Delhomme to win this game!” It’s amazing how fast Steve Smith is. He ran through the Seattle punt coverage like he was in the Special Olympics. Meanwhile, Wilford Brimley goes nuts on the call.

6:55: FOX is pimping the Pro Bowl, a game absolutely no one with any life will watch. Don’t worry, I’ll give a full report.

4:12: Crackback block penalty ruins a good drive by Alexander and the Seattle offense. Brown on to kick the FG and…. it’s good! 20-7 Seahawks. Crowd is in full throat. How come when someone uses the phrase “full throat”, I think about my ex-gf?

1:14: Seattle running down the clock in the first half with the possibility of extending their lead. (Note to Mac users, you don’t need heat in your house if you have a Powerbook. The battery is currently killing future generations all over the world.) With 45 secs left and Seattle at the Carolina 30, the Walrus pulls a Marty Schottenheimer and runs the ball.

0:29: Josh Brown misses a FG that looks a lot like my drives off the tee. Except it came reasonably close to where he wanted it. And didn’t involve 3 other people laughing at him.

0:00: Half over. Well, even Rich Kotite could’ve gameplanned for the Panthers. Stop Steve Smith and you stop their entire O. We’ll see if Seattle can hold on in the second half.
