Missed Opportunities Send Seattle to Bottom of NFC West after 25–19 Loss to the Bears
Fifty-two seconds remained on the Qwest Field scoreboard. Down by six and finding themselves with a fourth-and-one situation at the Chicago 43, the Seahawks needed something…anything. Enter John Owens and a six-yard reception along the right side of the field. First down. Forty-six seconds. Out of the shotgun with time not on his side, Seattle [...]
Jones the Star After One Half of Play in Seattle
Julius Jones must have read my mid-week column about the running game needing to step up against sub-par rush defenses in four of the next six games.

With Hasselbeck Hurt, Seattle’s Rushers Need to Pounce on Golden Opportunity
If there ever was a time this season that the Seahawks needed their injury riddled offensive linemen to be healthy, now would be that time. In the Seahawks’ next six games, four of them are against teams that give up an average of four yards-per-carry or more, and with Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck either playing [...]
Verdict on QB Matt Hasselbeck’s Injury–Broken Rib
Jim Mora spoke about Matt Hasselbeck’s injury at the beginning of Moday afternoon’s press conference: “You assume that Seneca will be playing on Sunday,” Mora said. “I’m not ready to make that assumption yet.” All Seahawk fans are glad to hear the good news about their starting QB, but this is nonsense. There is no [...]
