Go Seahawks!

Seahawks Vs Cardinals at 1pm this afternoon.

Seahawks Win Game But Lose Sherman For Season

Thursday night football games have not been a popular event for players and this really came to light this week when Seahawk star cornerback Richard Sherman suffered an Achilles Tendon rupture ending his season.  The Seahawks won the game against the Arizona Cardinals, but there was almost no celebration as the team's greatest strength, it's defense, may be ordinary at best. 
Sherman has not missed a game since he entered the league in 2011 so there is little indication on how the team will play going forward.

Seahawks Make Statement--Beat Cardinals

The Seahawks showed that they were alive and well in the play-off hunt, beating the league leading Arizona Cardinals 19-3.  It was the best performance in weeks by the team, coming off a heartbreaking loss to Kansas City.
 The game marked the reemergence of the once fierce Seattle defense.  After weeks of struggles, the unit came back to life, limiting Arizona to a season low 204 yards of offense and no touchdowns. Part of that can be attributed to the return of Bobby Wagner.

Cardinals Close The Curtain On The Seahawks

If the Seattle Seahawks proved one thing today, it was that even at it's best, it cannot keep up with an Arizona Cardinal team playing at it's worst. The 'Hawks blew a 14-0 lead in a 31 to 20 loss to the division leader. The one bright spot was second year Seahawk running back, Justin Forsett. Forsett had 123 rushing yards and a touchdown. In spite of a series of Arizona penalties and some big plays by Matt Hasselbeck, the Seahawks could not muster a single touchdown in the second half. Cardinal quarterback Kurt Warner (above) threw for 320 yards and 2 touchdowns. Beanie Wells had also rushed for two touchdowns.

Cardinals Shoot Down Seahawks

It took only seven days for the Seattle Seahawks to go from hero to zero in a 27-3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Somehow, the 'Hawks lacked the fire that sparked a 41-0 drubbing of the Jacksonville Jaguars a week ago. The defeat can partially be blamed on the frustration of the defense, failing to halt the Cardinals on 3rd down five consecutive times. The inability to make the big stop helped take the "12th Man" factor out of the equation. After the Cardinals first touchdown they got the ball back on a Seahawk kick-off receiving miscue, resulting in another touchdown. The Seahawks were down 14 to nothing by the time Matt Hasselbeck and the offense took the field for the first time. The Seahawks also lost linebacker Lofa Tatupu for the remainder of the season.
Thank you to Dean Rutz and the Seattle Times for the picture.

Hawks Battle Back But Can't Cage Cards

For a short time it looked like the usual story for the Seahawks, slow start, other team gets big lead and the Hawks come back in the second half. This time the Arizona Cardinals did not follow the script.

Down 17-0 toward the end of the second quarter, Matt Hasselbeck found Nate Burleson for a 24 yard touchdown pass. When Lofa Tatupu intercepted a pass in the third quarter to set up a Shaun Alexander touchdown run, it was clear the momentum had shifted in favor of the Seahawks. The Hawks pulled ahead with two Josh Brown field goals.

In the fourth quarter, Cardinal kicker Neil Rackers hit a 56 yard field goal, he had previously missed one at that yardage early in the game. The Seahawks got the ball back and marched down field with smart clock management seemingly on the verge of setting up a game winning field goal. It was not to be as a stunning miscommunication between Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander caused the Hawks to fumble and lose the ball. The Hawk defense could not pull through and Neil Rackers ended the game with a 42 yard field goal.
