How about any semblance of offense from the Seahawks?

First Half Cap:
Three Things to Consider
- Alexander looks slow and hesitant. Blame his age, his foot or his wrist but Seattle must start spreading the ball around. Leonard Weaver and Alvin Pearman deserve looks rushing and receiving in the second half. Unfortunately, the Hawks rushing problems don't fall all on Alabama. Clancy Pendergast has correctly called rush or pass on almost every play, resulting in lots of stuffed rushing attempts and two coverage sacks. Seattle needs to be able to get into better down and distance situations, if they do I fully expect their rushing and passing attack to come back to life.
- The Hawks are clearly confused defensively. For whatever reason, Whisenhunt's crap gives John Marshall's attacking defense fits. Most likely it's Whizzie's creative blocking formations, and Matt Leinart's poise. After a game where pressure led to Jeff Garcia fleeing the pocket again and again, Leinart looks like the veteran, sticking in the pocket and never taking his eyes from down field. For Seattle's defense to be productive in the second half they must convert first tackles against James. They must convert pass rush into sacks. And the must stop biting on play fakes again and again. It's only going to get harder in the second half, with a lead and 30 minutes worth of tape expect some trick plays.
- The strength versus strength matchup between Patrick Kerney and Levi Brown has clearly favored Brown thus far. Kerney simply lacks the speed to effectively edge rush. The Hawks must try and compensate. I still don't believe in Brown's quickness and think an overload blitz, a nickel blitz, or a zone blitz with outside pressure could cause havoc.

In the end, though, this pretty clearly should have been a 23-20 Seahawks win. While it's tough to win when you're down by 17, I liked that the Hawks stayed in there.
And that second 4th and 1 where we opted to take the FG rather then go for it? I knew that might come back to bite us.

Hell, I might not watch SportsCenter for the week. That's not unusual for me, by the way. It's not like I'll have any reason to watch it. The Mariners are dead and ESPN has completely disowned hockey, so it won't be hard.
simply
Sure, it's not that simple, but it's something to consider.
It's sad when the only thing you can hang your hat on is that the Seahawks played 30 minutes of football and still nearly beat an Arizona team on the road.
Who am I kidding? This sucks and everyone knows it.
