Twitter reacts to Marshawn Lynch not playing

So…. that escalated quickly. After three straight days of full participation in practice, with both Pete Carroll and Darrell Bevell telling us that Marshawn Lynch was ready to be a full go in Sunday’s playoff game against the Vikings, the mercurial running back ruled himself out for this week. Apparently he just didn’t feel like he was 100% healed from major abdominal surgery he underwent November 25th.

Marshawn Lynch told #Seahawks teammates he didn't feel right after week of practice, believes he needs another week to recover

Once word got out that it was Lynch himself who made the call not to play, all hell broke loose on Seahawks Twitter.
