It wasn’t as embarrassing as I thought it would be but Seneca is just pitiful. No will to be aggressive from him. Terrible decision making, short throws galore, overthrowing a lot, etc.

I am sick of him. Unless we train him as a receiver he should be released at the end of the season.

If Matt hadn’t gotten hurt (a huge if, clearly) I wouldn’t necessarily feel that way. But his decision to take on Patrick Willis with his back turned was retarded and has crippled our season. Bad decision by a brittle starting QB.

With all that said, minus the avalanche of injuries to the rest of the team, they could have been at least 2-2 and still in the hunt. The front office needs to take a hard look at what they can do differently to keep the personnel on the field. “It’s a violent sport” is no longer an acceptable answer.

It looked to me like (1) a lot of those ineffectual swing passes were by design and thus hard to pin on Seneca, and (2) they could have signed Coutu to play LT for equally effective pass-pro. Frye was trying, but it was pathetic. Hasselbeck would likely have been dead by the half. Unless Seattle has a good shot at a top QB with the better of its 2 #1s next year, I’d prefer they go for LT and S ahead of QB.

…it’s much worse in person. Nearly every play from way up where my seat was, you could see a potential weak spot in the Seattle D – Fisher lined up on Wayne, for example – and be damn sure Manning would see it clearly from where he was. And then exploit it every damn time. I wanted to see him play in person and am glad I did, but boy does he tear your heart out when playing your team.

On the bright side, I made the lady next to me spit up her coke when I yelled “we’re right back in it” when Wallace scored his TD!

He had a rough one today…but let’s be fair. The Colts Defense is much more aggressive and better then it was in years past. They killed a very good QB last week in Kurt Warner in Arizona and he’s an All-Pro QB. So let’s chill out on the Seneca bashing.

He didn’t have a good game but so didn’t Ray Willis or Frye or the rest of the offensive line for that matter(minus Chris Spencer). Holding penalties cost us a lot of postive plays today and Seneca isn’t all to blame.There’s Plenty of blame to be spread around.

I thought Seattle moved the ball well in the first half and kept the Colts offense off the field with pretty good drives, only to be snake bitten by the yellow flag. It was 7-0 at the end of the 1st Qt and could’ve been 14-3 at the end of the half if Knapp wouldn’t have mis-managed the time to leave the Manning 1:40 in the 2nd Qt. And on top of that Gus Bradley called the dumbest blitz I’ve ever seen to give the Cotls 7 more pts when at worst it should’ve been 3.

7 pts per Qt against a team this good would’ve been A-Okay for me.

Seneca is the back up and as a back up he’s adequate. We are missing so many pieces up front that it’s hard to lay all the blame at his feet. Most teams that lose there QB’s step up in other areas. We haven’t done that. Usually the running game or the Defense step up and those things have not happened for Seneca. He’s not a QB that can win it all by himself. That guy was on the other side of the ball today.

Last week it was the FG kicker that hurt us but Seneca still got us the lead at the end of the game and the Defense didn’t step up. IF they did and we won against the Bears the tune would be much different about Seneca. We’d be 2-2 and happy with that.

The one problem I do have with Seneca is that he doesn’t run as much as he use to. He’s great at scrambling out of the pocket but he either runs out of bounds and loses yards (when he could throw it away) or makes some questionable throws downfield. He should tuck it and use those fast legs he was blessed with. That would keep the defense off balance and it was something he use to do more of. There two plays where he had angles on linebackers to make positive yards and he opted not to run. The TD run was more indicative of what he should be doing more of. It puts so much pressure on defenses and he’s not using that advantage he has. Wildcat would be nice. Wouldn’t mind seeing Teel and Seneca on the field at the same time.

I also thought Curry had a good game and made some nice open field tackles today. For the record.

The guy threw 11 TD with only 3 int’s last year while posting 87% QB rating. (would credit that to Holmgren to) What more would you like out of a “Back Up”. The guy is a prettty good back up. My point is that he’s good enough to win in the NFL. At least go .500. That’s all I would expect out of my Back up QB. He’s pretty much done that.

I contend that Hasselbeck wouldn’t have beaten the Colts yesterday either and he’s our starter. Seneca played well enough last week for our team to win against the Bears. Even though he’s 5’11 he still has put up decent numbers as starter. Even last year wtih our whole WR corps out and this year without an O-Line. I think we need to cut him some slack. That’s all.

We don’t bash Hawthorne or Herring when they made mistakes because we know there the back ups. If they were good enough to start they would be starting.

The guy went up against a undefeated Colts team and we probably wouldn’t have beat them if Joe Montana was the QB behind our O-Line yesterday. The guy is good enough to back up Hass. It’s really the parts around him that suck and again the questionable play calling by Knapp doesn’t utilize his talents that’s really hindering us. Knapp coached Mike Vick for goodness sakes. Use that playbook for Seneca and unleash this guy!

but combine last years with this years. He’s 14-5 tds-int rate. Throw in the bad O-line we have. The guys is a pretty good back up.
