Seattle Sehawks Blog
This team continues to somehow find a way to win games that they could have easily lost. A first and goal with :55 seconds left is a credit to our defense, who stepped things up in the second half. This team still needs a great deal of work as we try and build momentum heading into the playoffs.

Positives:
1. Hasselbeck: Nuff said, he is our MVP this year and carrying this team
2. Mooooo Morris: The guy adds an element that has been missing from this team ALL YEAR….a game breaker running back. I said this after week #2, Shaun Alexander will never have another 25+ yard run…he’s too old and too slow.
3. Defense: I still think Marshall gets too conservative with the lead, but we stepped it up when it counted most.
4. Special Teams: Josh Wilson, welcome aboard. That return helped keep us in the game, no doubt about it.
Still needs work
Seattle NEEDS to start coming out stronger on the road, no doubt about it. Pittsburgh, Arizona, and now St. Louis. We come out laying an egg in the first half. Can we start out running harder drills???? Can we get out for pre-game earlier? Something needs to change here.
Killer Instinct: Holmgren still gets too conservative with his play calling, especially in close games where we have the lead. With the ball on the St. Louis 38 after a long pass play with 2.30 left, he calls run play, run play, pass, missed FG. Take a few shots at the endzone there Mike….you HAVE the lead, remember.
