Seahawks Beat 49ers

It wasn't an easy win but the best the
Seahawks have had in a while. In fact,
they haven't won since Halloween.

The Seahawks beat the 49ers 30-23.
The Seahawks got off to the start 
where Travis Homer took a fake punt
on the first possession all the way for
a touchdown. The 49ers though scored
17 unanswered points before the Seahawks
were able to do anything else positive.

Gerald Everett the Seahawks signed as
a free agent during the off-season from
the Rams had three turnovers including
two fumbles. One fumble was critical 
late in the game when the Seahawks look
like they were going to put the game away
with a touchdown. The Seahawks had
Everett run the ball but he fumbled on
the one run line. 

The 49ers went down the field like the
were going to score to tie the game without
time left on the clock. It looked like a sure
thing. The Seahawks couldn't tackle at all
until 49ers were inside Seattle's five yard
line. The Seahawks have been tough on
defense when the other team is in the red
zone. Again this happened. Sidney Jones
was able to stop a pass on third down
then on fourth down Carlos Dunlap batted
a ball away that gave the ball back to
Seattle. Russell Wilson went to the knee
and that was the ball game.

The Seahawks go to Houston next Sunday
to take on the Texans. The Texans have
only won two games so the Seahawks 
should win the game. We know with 
them anything can happen. The Seahawks
are now 4-8. They have to win their final
five games to have any chance to get in
the playoffs though things have to go 
their way still to get in. 

Even if the Seahawks go to the playoffs 
which is unlikely changes will need to
done to the team. They will need changes
on offense as well as defense. Also,
changes to the coaching staff too. Not
sure whether that has to do with Pete 
Carroll or the assistants. 

We will look at how things go during 
the off-season. One loss in these five
games remaining pretty much do the
Seahawks in. 

I get tired what I hear about the Seahawks
during the off-season, however, this year
is worse than in previous ten years or so. 
Will they have to rebuild? Like the 
Mariners have been doing. The problem 
they don't have any early draft
picks since they traded with the Jets to
pick up Jamal Adams. I am sure we will
have discussions about trading for Adams
as well. Juror is still out of him but sure
makes it hard on the Seahawks to do 
anything in the draft. 

The Seahawks will have to do some 
trading of players to get additional draft 
picks throughout the draft. They will 
have to sign some free agents and make 
no mistakes on them too. Go Hawks!
