Quick Cap: Arizona 23 Seattle 20

One botched play and the Hawks lose.

Do we need to know anything else?

The Hawks pass rush was non-existent. Matt Leinart looked poised. Edgerrin James cutback through our D like the Hawks' defenders were running out of his way. I'm exhausted, I'll wait to say anything else until I watch the tape.

One botched play.

Update

I've watched tape. Guess who was at fault? Mack Strong. Yep, disrupted Beck's handoff, completely blew his block.

Further Update

Got to give it to Hasselbeck for showing hustle, Alexander was nowhere to be found. Even with Strong blowing the block, Alexander has to hold onto that. Seriously, post decline Alexander--who is soft, cutback greedy, a cipher receiving and banged up--is one of the worst starting running backs in the NFL. This line deserves better.

Final Update

I know the 49ers are 2-0, but it's early. They've done nothing particularly impressive. Bad stuff happens--remember that stifling loss to Jacksonville to start 2005? The Hawks weren't destined to be 16-0, but I don't see a lot of contenders in the NFC. The most troubling thing about this game is that Alexander simply is not getting any better. He's cooked. He's hurting the team. A couple good runs don't make up for all his profound weaknesses. The most troubling thing about this season is that Holmgren won't sit him unless he's hurt.

Does Jeff Gillooly still live in the area?

is this some weak attempt at sarcasm
or do you really think we might as well pack it in for the year?

rrrrrr
While I won't say the season's over, I will say that I will be very miffed if the Seahawks end up losing any divisional tiebreakers at the end of the season.  
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

This loss hurt
until I remembered when we blew that 17 point lead in 2004 with 8:42 left.

This? This is nothing.

What does SA give us? His runs of significance
are because of nice holes opening up.  He gives us nothing extra in terms of running through people or running by them...he can do neither. He can't catch or block. What is the upside?

What a burn it was signing him to a multi year deal in '05. I knew it at the time.

The worst part?
The worst part of this game, to me at least, is that we've seen two entirely different Seahawk defensive efforts in the first two weeks. And we've got to wait seven more days until we can find out which one is more indicative of what this team really is.
