Seattle Seahawks

It'll be another rough year in St. Louis.

 

Seattle Seahawks

After one year on the job, Jim Mora was fired as head coach of the Seahawks, giving way to former USC head coach Pete Carroll. Carroll, years removed from his last NFL gig, has brought an energy to excitement to the northwestern franchise and upgraded Matt Hasselbeck's arsenal. He traded for Jets RB Leon Washington, making for a productive trio partnered with Julius Jones and Justin Forsett. They drafted Notre Dame wide-out Golden Tate to go alongside T.J. Houshmandzadeh. What's even more surprising is that Mike Williams (former USC receiver and NFL bust) looks like he's going to actually earn a spot on the roster. Tight end John Carlson isn't talked about enough and will see a lot of endzone looks from Hasselbeck. Sixth overall pick Russell Okung will anchor the offensive line for years from the left tackle position and will benefit greatly from line coach Alex Gibbs' renowned tutelage. Carroll also brought Jeremy Bates along to head up the offense, so expect some points on the board.

After all the waiting and anticipation, the start of the 2010 NFL Draft went according to plan. Quarterback Sam Bradford went to the Rams, Ndamukong Suh to the Lions and Gerald McCoy to the Bucs. After the known occurred, there was plenty to discuss. Here's what caught my eye from day one.

I have a hard time believing Mike Tomlin’s squad will drop this home game.

(3-5) Seattle Seahawks at (5-3) Arizona Cardinals 

I only put this game on my list because it’s the last chance the Seahawks have to meet my division-winning expectations. A loss would put their playoffs hope in a coffin and their team under the microscope for next year. Even Matt Hasselbeck could be on the hot seat. In Arizona, the Cardinals haven’t fared as well as they have on the road with all of their three losses coming in front of their home crowd. Oh well, they still have Kurt Warner and a hella-explosive offense. This one may not last long.

squo;s wrap the week eight in the NFL with the Final Drive!

(5-2) Dallas Cowboys 38
(2-5) Seattle Seahawks 17

What’s with teams not wanting to tackle Cowboy receivers? Miles Austin and Sam Hurd have just been embarrassing defenders left and right. Tony Romo has put his team in a position to take first in the East following their next game, which comes against rival Philadelphia. In Seattle, injuries abound for the second straight year. There is no way this team could fight for a division title.

ensive plays means Zorn is all but out as head coach. 

(3-2) Arizona Cardinals 27
(2-4) Seattle Seahawks 3 

Um… what happened Seattle? The Cardinals are finally looking like the team that went to the Super Bowl while the Seahawks are bent on embarrassing me for picking them to win the west in a national collegiate magazine. Maybe Kurt Warner isn’t done yet.

(2-3) Seattle Seahawks 41
(2-3) Jacksonville Jaguars 0 

What a difference a Matt Hasselbeck makes. The Seahawks shut out the Jekyll and Hyde Jaguars and put up a forty-burger. With the Niners’ loss, the ‘Hawks can still make some noise in the NFC West.

After winning a game no one expected them to win, the Bears are now widely expected to travel to Seattle and defeat the injury-battling Seahawks. Which Seahawk is injured you ask? Someone pretty important…

e Saints should scare the jock straps off most teams.

(2-0) San Francisco 49ers 23
(1-1) Seattle Seahawks     10

Mike Singletary’s hard-nosed style has gotten the Niners off to a superb start. Frank Gore racked up 207 yards on only 16 carries. Matt Hasselbeck left the game with a fractured rib. If he’s out for any length of time, it could be disastrous for the Seahawks’ season.

r craptacular ticket sales and impending TV blackouts.

Back to the old Cardinals already?

Seattle Seahawks (1-0) at San Francisco 49ers (1-0)

Seattle sure looked great in their 28-0 whomping of the Rams. Now it’s time to test that resolve against Mike Singletary’s Niners, who just defeated the defending NFC champs. The prize at stake is an early lead in the NFC West.

It's been a tough year being a Seattle Seahawks fan, and a Seattle sports fan in general.  We lose the Supersonics to Oklahoma City, the Mariners become the first team to have a $100M payroll and post 100 losses, and the Seahawks miss the playoffs for the first time in 5 years.  But there is still a lot to look forward to.  We have a new MLS team in Seattle FC that looks like it could be competitive from day 1, and the Mariners and Seahawks are not far from being playoff calibur teams.

Dallas Cowboys 34, Seattle Seahawks 9

At halftime, Turkey Day’s second NFL contest was over as well, with the ‘Boys up 24-6. Seattle moved the ball well through the air, but turned the ball over twice and failed to convert on key third-downs. Mike Holmgren’s final season in Seattle is going to be an awful one. Dallas made a great showing on the holiday, even as they lost Marion Barber and DeMarcus Ware to injuries during the game. Both are expected to return shortly, which is great news for the surging Cowboys. Ware accounted for three of Dallas’ seven sacks of Seattle’s Matt Hasselbeck and was given Fox’s lame turkey trophy. That needs to end too.

The debut of the Crypt Keeper was not a success. Two consecutive 2-2 records in the past two weeks (tongue twister yikes) keeps the overall record at .500 for the season. No worries though, I know success is on its way as the Crypt Keeper and I will go back to the drawing board to chalk up better predictions and analysis. With that said, let's see what happened in Week 9 of the NFL.

Winners - New York Giants

3) Philadelphia Eagles @ Seattle Seahawks

Fans in Philly are loving things as of late as their fighting Phils won the World Series this past week. Closer Brad Lidge went 48/48 in saves I believe as he wins a ring with his teammates. Basically asking Houston "tell me how that --bleep--taste!". I had to...Anyways on to this game. The Eagles won last week over the Atlanta Falcons at home while the Seahawks dominated the 49ers in San Fran. This is another big game for the Eagles in the NFC East. I just don't have that much confidence in Seattle at the moment even with the beating they put on the 49ers in Mike Singletary's debut as 49er's head coach. I'm picking safe here with the Eagles.

It was an interesting week in the National Football League. A few surprises, a big meltdown by one team and one bruised and battered team found a way to win a big prime-time game. Let's get right to it--game by game.

First off, I want to introduce myself. My name is Jake, I live in Houston. I'm glad I found this place. I've read a lot of bloggers material today from predictions to their favorite teams' rants, it's great. I enjoyed it. Sports, baby sports!

play in a bad division where the only team that should make the playoffs from it every year is the Seattle Seahawks. However, the Cardinals actually have a lot of talent on their team, it’s a shame that it couldn’t translate to victories last season. The Cardinals have improved their team via the draft with quite possibly my favorite rookie players, with the exception of Glen Dorsey and Darren McFadden. So lets take a look at the Cardinals this year.

The Seattle Seahawks ended last season with a 10-6 record and a loss in the second round of the playoffs to the Green Bay Packers. There were good aspects of the team and of course there were bad aspects of the team. Losing fullback Mack Strong to injury and eventually retirement hurt this team a lot. He paved a lot of holes for running backs in Seattle. Star running back Shaun Alexander seemed to lose his game last season, he just never seemed to do something great. We’ll get back to the running game a little bit later on, but lets us first see what we can expect this year.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it doesn't, it just sort of stays the same.

Julius Jones has signed with the Hawks giving them a running corps of five backs I could care less about. I thought Duckett (a clone of Leonard Weaver) was a waste of time and money, but this move really takes the cake.

Who cares?

TJ Duckett is a worthless signing if there ever was one. What exactly are the Seahawks planning on doing with him? Maybe he plays on the o-line? We could use a few good hoggies (and it would probably take a few to replace Hutch!).

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Seattle kickers. I think it was because one of them was from my home town and my buddy used to run around with the guy's old ID (I'm not quite sure how exactly he got it) so he could drink (il)legally.
