Stokley comes up big against the Saints

by todd7 on Jan 9, 2011 10:37 AM MST

Former Bronco Brandon Stokley catches a 45 yard long bomb from Matt Hasselbeck in the second quarter

in the Seahawks upset over the Saints. Another big play for Seattle occurred in the fourth quarter when

Lynch broke a 67 yard run for a TD.

The Seahawks went onto upset the world champion Saints by a score of 41 to 36.

In the other game the Jets defense was too much for the Colts, and Sanchez drove down in the last minute

for a Folk field goal. If you look at the Colts red zone efficiency it was at 0 percent. Which meant the Colts were

settling for field goals on most of their drives, and ended up getting beat.

Should be an interesting playoffs with Cutler leading the Bears into the playoffs, and New England currently

looking like the team to beat if they make the Superbowl.

The Stokley catch made me very happy for the young man...

Seems like there is a major problem in Indy…

Gotta be coaching imo....

Not sure what else has changed. They did well last year, but I think Caldwell is in over his head. Last year’s success was all Manning as the asst. HC

I don't think there is a problem in Indy

The AFC is loaded, no losing records got in and the Jets are a really good football team. That being said, look at the last several super bowl runner-ups, they tend to not make the playoffs the next year. Indy was good enough to break that jinx. Are they as strong as in years past? probably not, but as long as Peyton is at the helm Indy will be a contender.

Stok's a beast and I'm glad to see he's thriving.

Always thought it was a huge mistake to let him go… Yes, even with our current WR corp.

<3 KO Clutch... and Tebow a little bit.

Great for him he is a class act that deserves success

When Tim Tebow pissses into the wind, the wind changes direction.

Glad he is getting a chance to play this year, he would have hardly played in Denver.

Let's put the 'D' back in Denver

Stokes

Is a little beast – love him to death. You know the anology, “danger is my middle name”, well Brandon Stokely’s is “clutch is my middle name.” I’m so proud of this guy right now, I’m bubbling over. The Seachickens are my underdog favorite for the Super Bowl.

Amazing game

Glad for Stokley, we just didn’t need him, but he’s a great athlete. He’s had a solid season over there.

I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.

He was GREAT in the game.

That long bomb was pretty amazing, but – as usual – he made some great 1st Down catches underneath by pulling Separation of his jock strap. I don’t know how he does it but he always gets the perfect position and usually doesn’t drop the pass. Stokely has another year in him I think. He’s been a solid 3rd down guy for the Seahawks this year.
