Hawks dodge a bullet in battle of the birds.
Today's Seattle Seahawks vs Atlanta game was a tale of 2 halves. The Hawks tore it up for the first half. Matt Hasselbeck was hitting his targets and the Seahawks went to the locker room leading 21-0.
I don't know what was going on 2nd half, but the 'Hawks fell apart and before long, the Falcons had closed the gap 21-18. I don't know if Hasselbeck was ailing or tired but the offense stayed in the locker room. The often criticized Hawk defense finally did step up in the closing minute and made a crucial 4th down stop. The Falcons really did command the game. They just ran out of time. I think what this game showed most of all is the Seahawks still are not ready for "prime time".
With the Seahawks win though, all three big Washington football teams won this weekend as the Cougars and Huskies both beat weak opponents. Bellevue High School also had a big win in Qwest field Fridays night against a well regarded opponent.
