I’ve given up on this season. Really. Without Matt we are hopeless and at this point I’m leaning more towards him retiring in two weeks than him playing in two weeks. It’s sad, but that’s just what happens when you play a sport where people are tackling you all the time. I’ve always loved Seneca Wallace and really hope that he becomes a franchise QB, that would be ideal and he has the tools around him to do that. But let’s talk about this season at 2-5 the Seahawks still have a chance to make the playoffs because they are in probably the worst division in football. 8-8 could get them in, 9-7 most likely will. So they need to go 7-2 from here on out, can they do it?
UPCOMING SCHEDULE:
Eagles
@ Miami
Arizona
Washington
@ Dallas
Patriots
@ St. Louis
NY Jets
@ Arizona
Looking at the schedule they need to do three things:
Sweep the West. 3-0 against the Cardinals and Rams is a MUST.
Win the easy ones. The Jets and Dolphins are beatable.
Steal two against good teams. The NFC East is stacked and the Patriots aren’t the Patriots of old, but their still a force to be reckoned with. Luckily for us with the exception of the Cowboys game all of these tough games are in Seattle.
I think it’s doable, but I’d think it was a whole lot more doable if we could just play the 49ers for the rest of the season. The last three games have been a better gauge of what this team really is. With a healthy Matt they win all three, they might have beaten Green Bay with Seneca. This team isn’t as terrible as it’s looked, but it’s not likely to win the Super Bowl either.
Why have the Seahawks already picked a coach for next season? Why did they feel the need to get someone locked in so early? A friend of mine who played in the NFL says that Jim Mora is going to be great for the team. I truly hope he is right (and Mora is a rocker, which is kinda cool!). What if Bill Cowher suddenly wants to coach again, though? I just get confused by a lot of these “front office” decisions.
The rest of his points are pretty stupid (Mariners just want to make money not win, sports radio rules), but he’s right here. The team wants to shift to a defensive focus next year and have their assistant head coach, a defensive guy, set to takeover next year. Our defense is currently ranked 27th in the league. Not exactly a ray of hope.
Some idiot thought a good way to fire up Seahawks fans for next week’s game with the Giants by posting 9/11 jokes. Great idea.
On many occasions, team message board trash talk veers toward some very unpleasant depths, but some of the stuff being circulated on the popular Seahawks fan message board “Seahawks Huddle” right now has sparked an amazing amount of negative respondents thanks to its unprecedented levels of classlessness.
In an effort to fire Hawks’ fans up for October 5th Giants/Seahawks game, one Huddle poster named “Mason” decided the best way to do that was with some good ol’ 9/11 trash talk. Ugh.
I mean, we’re talking about Seattle here. Like the most liberal city in America that doesn’t start with the word San. You really thought this was a good idea? Jeez, you could atleast be funny.
Knock knock!
Who’s there?
Knock knock!!
Knock knock who?
Knock knock knocked all your towers down!
That doesn’t even make sense!
Have you heard about the decision about the memorial at the WTC site?
The city decided to go with an open park and the worlds largest franchise of the “International House of Pancakes!”
Seriously, what is that? Give me a break. What an idiot.
