A Bad Game

I thought the game two weeks ago was a bad one for the Seahawks however Sunday afternoon in Green Bay was worse.

It started out with the defensive giving up a touchdown in only seconds of the opening of the game. Even when the players were in position to make a tackle they could not. I would have understood if there was snow on the ground or it was snowing but neither was happening. It was cold on the field but they should have been able to tackle anyway. I am sure someone on the defense played a good game but naming the person would be difficult.

I guess we could say the absence of Earl Thomas affected the team but I don’t think that was it. Even if he were in the game the Seahawks would have still lost big I believe anyway. At least I am going to stick to it. I may say the loss of Thomas has affected the team if the defense plays a bad game against the Rams on Thursday.  The Rams have struggled all season long except maybe against the Seahawks earlier in the season.

Other than the first series of the first half and second half the offense played their worst game in the time that Russell Wilson has been on the team. The first series they made a good run though they had to settle for a field goal. The first series in the second half looked good and gave us some hope until Wilson threw an interception to give the ball back to Green Bay and that was it. I guess we could call it the curse of Lambeau Field since the Seahawks have not won a game there since 1979. We hope that if the Seahawks meet the Packers in the playoffs the game will be played in Seattle.

I actually lost count of how many interceptions that Wilson threw in the game. It was something like five times at least.  I could not believe the throw he made that hit one Packer and then went into the arms of another. Also the throw to Doug Baldwin went off of him and into a Packer as well.

One thing I was happy about was that I had to leave to be somewhere at 4’oclock the beginning of the fourth quarter so I didn’t have watch the rest of the game. I know the Seahawks have made some really good comebacks in the fourth quarter however I was not counting on that Sunday.

The only player that I saw that played a good game for the Seahawks was Thomas Rawls running the ball. Carroll was smart taking him out of the game in the fourth quarter. That is what I heard later anyway. Both of his replacements had fumbles however it was too late anyway. I understand that Pope was injured once again so I guess we will see if he is available on Thursday. I would not be surprised if he isn’t.

Going into the fourth quarter my hope was that no one would get injured in the game. I hope that no one else did except for Pope. I guess I will hear sometime this week if that was the case. The game was so bad that I did not read any of the articles on the Seahawks in the paper. I figured what was the point anyway. If you are someone who decided to read this post I am glad however if you decided to stop at some point which could be now I don’t blame you. Actually I am going to end the post here right now and hope that the Seahawks will take care of the Rams Thursday night. Let us have peace toward all men going into Thursday. Go Hawks!
