The GD plane is about crash in the mountain... Hass possibly out for Sunday

RENTON -- Matt Hasselbeck, the Seahawks' sore-kneed quarterback, is likely out for Sunday's must-win game against the Green Bay Packers, coach Mike Holmgren said Friday.

That means No. 3 QB Charlie Frye will start, because backup Seneca Wallace is nursing a sore calf. Wallace is expected to be the backup.

"He's restricted, and we're just not going to put him at risk out there," Holmgren said of Hasselbeck.

Hasselbeck hyperextended his knee early in last week's loss to the New York Giants. He was expected to practice Friday and play against the Packers, but his knee has not responded to treatment.

"Matt still can't do much with his leg," Holmgren said. "It's not ligaments, it's not anything like that. It's just sore."

Holmgren stopped short of completely ruling Hasselbeck out, saying it would be a game-day decision. But Hasselbeck playing seems like a long shot.

"I have got to feel like he's not too vulnerable out there," Holmgren said.

With Hasselbeck out and Wallace practicing for the first time Friday, Frye got all the snaps with the Seahawks offense this week.

I suggest we all start drinking heavily.

Scruffy's add - Well this isn't good.

I doubt that Green Bay can beat us with me at quarterback. We will be fine.....

I guess this explains why they brought back Kent

I like Charlie Kent...

but damn, I wish we drafted Brohm (or is something wrong with him, why did Matt Flynn play a series last week instead of him?) and DeSean Jackson.

Charlie Frye..

not sure whatI was thinking… maybe Charlie Frye and Jordan Kent, since those two were my preseason favorites.

Brohm looked horrible during preseason and training camp.

this is a great season

I wonder what other fantastic things will happen.

The only, minor, tiny good thing is that this week is at home.

Well now seems like a good time to start drinking!

But in all seriousness, do you guys like Seneca or Frye better? I think Seneca has a bad habit of the 15 step draw to sac/interception combo, where as Frye really seemed to improve and show a lot of potential in the meaningless preseason. Also, he took plenty more snaps in practice as well as Preseason this year than Seneca. I think Frye steps up and fills the shoes!

We can pull this off, with re-amped Defense (after last weeks embarassment we better kick ass), and new motivations not to be embarrassed again, I think we might just make it…….

I still will be drinking heavily for the 40 hours or so…..

I agree with Seneca's bad habit, and I did like Frye during preseason.

I’d rather have this game away, since then we’d be expected to lose anyways.
Seneca’s deep drop in the pocket gave Walter Jones a sack allowed, and that was only once, but still, I seem them as about even, especially if Seneca’s still a bit banged up.

I like Frye better then Seneca

If he has time to prepare for the game. Seneca is better suited to come in the middle of the game because he can change the way the offense is run which makes it harder for the opposing defense to stick to their gameplan.

But Frye gives us a better chance to win.

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.
