The Seahawks acquired WR Deion Branch from the New England Patriots for a first round pick in 2007. Branch has played in 53 games (42 starts) and has caught 213 passes for 2,744 yards (12.9 avg) and 14 TDs. Branch will definately make the Seahawks’ passing game more dangerous. Oddly though, Branch has never had over 1,000 yards receiving in a season.

The Seahawks looked lethargic on offense, but dominant on defense yesterday. Matt Hasselbeck completed 25 of 30 passes (83.3%) for 210 yards. Shaun Alexander had a rough game, carrying the ball 19 times for 51 yards (2.7 ypc). WR Bobby Engram caught 5 passes for 52 yards (10.4 avg). Darrell Jackson caught 5 passes for 47 yards (9.4 avg). RB Mack Strong caught 6 passes for 30 yards.
The Seahawks defense absolutely stuffed the Lions running game as the Lions only had 38 yards rushing and only averaged 2.2 yards per carry. The Lions completed 56.8% of their passes for 213 net yards in the air.
I would like to find any Hawk fans in San Francisco, someplace to watch games, etc., etc.
Jackson will be limited to about 25 plays on offense this week against the Lions. The Seahawks are gonna try to be easy on Jackson, as the Lions look like any easy feast for the offense.

The Seahawks will probably just play basic football and give the Lions all kinds of trouble. I don’t see the Lions line-backers and D-Line having much chance of stopping running back Shaun Alexander from having a good game. When Alexander is running well, Matt Hasselbeck has an easy time throwing the ball downfield. WR Darrell Jackson and TE Ituli Mili are banged up, but Nate Burleson and Bobby Engram will more than likely step up and produce decent numbers.
The Lions will probably try to throw the ball all over the place with Mike Martz calling the plays. The problem with doing that is that Jon Kitna is a tad turnover-prone. The Lions will attack with Kitna throwing to Roy Williams alot, but the Seahawks have a strong secondary, so Kitna will have to be careful. Martz might have some thoughts about using RB Kevin Jones a little more than most people think, to balance out the offense.
On paper, the Seahawks should dominate this game…….but games aren’t played on paper.
Coach Holmgren has a career record of 138-86 (61.6% wins) and is 11-9 in the post-season. Holmgren has won 6 division titles and 1 Super Bowl Chmpionship.

Matt Hasselbeck has a career record as a starting QB of 40-28 (58.8% wins) and a 2-3 playoff record. Hasselbeck has a career QB rating of 86.6.

Josh Parry was acquired for an undisclosed 2008 draft pick. Parry is a 6’2″, 250 pound lead blocker who has never had a carry in a game. Parry has played in 29 games (15 starts) and has caught 22 passes for 164 yards (7.5 avg).
The Broncos rolled up another 408 yards of offense, as they keep rolling along. Jay Cutler completed 13 of 19 passes (68.4%) for 201 yards with 2 TDs and an interception. Bradlee Van Pelt completed 2 of 6 passes for 23 yards and a TD, he also ran twice for 23 yards.
Mike Bell continued to impress, running 9 times for 74 yards (8.2 ypc). Tatum Bell carried the ball 9 times for 48 yards (5.3 ypc) and a TD. Cedric Cobbs carried the ball 8 times for 34 yards (4.3 ypc).
