dgack 01-15-2006, 01:14 AM Their D was faster than we expected. But they f*cking A should have been, they've been resting for two weeks.
The whole team looked really flabby, though... a lot of guys going down with injuries and I'm thinking, "WTF? We're the ones that have been getting the sh*t kicked out of us for the last 6 weeks... why are YOU guys whining about pain?"
DJax has always been a "good" receiver and never a game-breaker. But I have to give him credit -- that shot he took from Sean Taylor looked like the kind of hit that knocks a man's heart right out of his chest. And he got right back up.
Of course, he probably didn't know which continent he was on, but still...

They did look soft and I say they loose to CAR next weekend!
Beemnseven 01-15-2006, 01:29 AM Yeah, I was really not THAT impressed with Hasselbeck. We were not bringing that much pressure, and what he DID do well was wait for downfield protection to break down, then ad-lib it and pick up some decent yardage.
When the Seahawks didn't miss a beat with Alexander out, Hasselbeck really got on track with the play action. It didn't help our situation when we couldn't get pressure on him. Got to hand it to Seattle, they've assembled quite an offensive line.
And to think Steve Hutchinson was taken one spot before we selected Rod Gardner. Ugh.

It didnt seem like we were really sending many people on pressure at all, really. The few times we brought the house he ended up throwing it away. Other than a few decent scrambles thanks to us dropping too many guys back into coverage, he didn't surprise me one bit.
The stats and the game I watched just didn't show me a whole lot from that guy other than the opening drive. I've always thought he was overrated and today didn't change my mind in any respect.

On the Seahawks drive that ended with a field goal that made it 20-10, Hasselbeck noticed an all-out blitz, and brilliantly audibled for a sweep to Mack Strong for a 32-yard gain. That sealed the deal.
Hasselbeck is no superstar. But he's in the right system with one hell of an offensive line. Sometimes, that's all you need.
You're right about the pressure. Williams rarely blitzed today, I think that was due mainly to a strong running game even without Shaun Alexander. The Skins D was kept off-balance for the most part.

That Mack Strong run was a knife in the heart. The entire team and viewing audience seemed like they thought he got stopped behind the line -- even the cameraman was caught looking. I dont know if it was a bad tackle or Strong just stuttered before hitting the hole, but I threw some shit at the TV after that one.
gibbs4life 01-15-2006, 02:14 AM add it up carlos thats 7pts.john hall missed field goal 3 pts.and santana,s drop in the end zone thats 7 pts.17 total pts right there that would have been huge and the outcome probably would have been different.
we won the turnover battle just couldn,t cash in on them.
