That isn't what I was expecting last night. That was an overall bad performance by every aspect of the Seahawks team. That should have been a win, at home, on Sunday night, against an 0-4 team, but now the Seahawks find themselves slipping and questioning their game plans.
-Special Teams was horrible. A bad snap for a TD, a blocked FG, little yardage on any returns.
-Alexander 14 carries for 35 yards? What the hell is that? The O-line didn't help him out but Shaun continues to go down to early.
-Hasselbeck was not accurate. He continues to miss on the deeper patterns. It seemed like he was either not seeing the open receivers or holding the ball too long. The last interception he threw was a horrible decision.
-The Seahawks should have kicked the FG at the end. That would have made it an 8 point game with the Seahawks needed to get an onside kick. Either way the Seahawks were going to have to get a 3 and a 8. Take the 3 instead of going for it on 4th and long.
-The defense was playing off the receivers too much. On 3rd and longs they were given them 8-10 yards and allowing them to run to the sticks and catch the ball.
-With Branch and Hackett out the receivers were in trouble. They were keying on them single coverage and sending everyone else at Hasslebeck and Alexander. But Wallace did have a nice grab at the end.
