My feeling is that the fans at FG are being way too harsh on Marshawn. When you get surgery on your core, you feel like BOWLING is something you'll never do again. Much less play in the NFL some weeks later. I'd lay 10:1, cheerfully, that he tried to get back and his mind told him, "um, this is not the best idea you've ever had." Am sure the doctors agreed with him.
Just my $0.02, having walked a mile in his moccasins. There's tough and then there's ill-advised ...
If I were on track about that, then Lynch would be done for the 2015 season, ya.
....
Yep, the Seahawks paid $12M for the possibility that Lynch would defy RB gravity at his age. The evidence all came in on the other side. Hard to imagine the case FOR bringing him back. Sigh.
....
As we get closer to game time, my FEELING is that the weather is going to totally randomize the game, that we won't even recognize the teams. Hope the feeling is baseless.
