The Seahawks squeak by with a win 34-24
It was a sloppy game. I missed the first half and about 7 minutes of the third quarter driving home in the snow. Listening to the game was painful. Interceptions, missed tackles, it was pretty bad. When I finally got home to watch the game things still didn’t look too good.
The game was ugly, but Matt Hasselbeck appeared to get his act together in the second half, and Shaun Alexander ran for 201 yards, only the fourth player to rush for 200 yards on Monday night.
The defense was still missing tackles, and the offense was still dropping passes. Green Bay fell apart in the fourth quarter, and the Seahawks managed to squeak by with another win. I had a lot of fun watching the second half, and I’m glad that Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander managed to pull the team out of a funk.
Hopefully the rest of the team can pick it up now. If they do, they’ll have proved the Seattle Times right.

Aren’t our Seahawks a source of pride :-)?
We’re going to the play-offs, barring anything bizarre. Which means a good shot of going to… MIAMI!! Which means, if we win, LOM-BARD-I!!!!!
Woo-hoo!

Yes, the Seahawks are a source of pride for the region. I’m quite happy when they win.
I’ve watched them throw away winning seasons in the first game of the playoffs too many times to be satisfied with anything less than another NFC championship. They won the title last year, and the way they’re going they have a chance to beat the conventional wisdom and have a winning season again this year, despite losing the Super Bowl.
If they want the Lombardi trophy though, they’re going to have to start playing more like a team. Relying on a couple of star players isn’t enough.
