Very emotional game to watch - I felt HORRIBLE when, near the end of the game, one of our CB actually ran-back an INT, instead of just taking a knee. Felt a little like rubbing-it-in. Didn't like that.
Go Hawks.

I did not see it as rubbing it in, he had a chance to score and he took it
Now if someone would only beat Dallas

Being a Cowboy fan I loved it. Didn't expect the Hawks to win, but it was a well deserved victory.Very emotional game to watch - I felt HORRIBLE when, near the end of the game, one of our CB actually ran-back an INT, instead of just taking a knee. Felt a little like rubbing-it-in. Didn't like that.

He should have went down, and allowed the Offense to take a knee to end the game. Was very UN-Westbrook-like.

Im not sure that he can just take a knee for the play to be blown dead---looked to me like he wasn't sure either. I don't think anyone is really gonna trash him for it.He should have went down, and allowed the Offense to take a knee to end the game. Was very UN-Westbrook-like.

If he takes a knee, or otherwise just lay down, he'd be done when somebody touched him. (shrug). I'm not talking about him 'fair catching' or anything - just thought it was selfish of him to run it back w/ 20 seconds left?

As an opponent I'd just let him lie there rather than get credit for a "tackle" too.---Whatever --no harm. They've got at least one more game to be classy in.

with 27 seconds left, and possession, where the opposition has no time-outs left? His selfishness put his teammates at risk.

It's absolutely selfish when the points don't matter. See: Brian Westbrook a coupel weeks ago.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. For a CB to have the chance to put points on the board and just take a knee is, in my book, not giving 100%.

Context dictates. Seattle was up by 14 already. 27 seconds left. For him to take a knee has the potential to avoid injuries to his other players. Because he decided "I'm going to score just because I can" he put the rest of his team at risk of injury via another kick-off and defensive series. Was brian westbrook not giving 100% by 'not' scoring a few weeks ago?
In 2005 Ken Hamlin intercepted a pass by Mark Bulger to give the seahawks the ball at the Ram's 10 yard line. Had he NOT been selfish, he would have swatted-away the 4th-down pass, to give the hawks the ball at the Ram's 40.
Both Hamlin and Babs played without game-situation-awareness.
