Seahawks cruise to 23-7 victory over the Bucs

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Sunday 31 December 2006 at 8:54 pm

The Seahawks hogged the ball on offense and won this football game with ease.  Matt Hasselbeck had a decent game as he completed 17 of 29 passes for 216 yards with a TD.  Shaun Alexander was very busy with 28 carries for 92 yards (3.3 ypc) and a TD.  Maurice Morris pitched in with 10 carries for 39 yards (3.9 ypc).  DJ Hackett (4 rec, 63 yards, TD) and TE Jerramy Stevens (4 rec, 54 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Seahawks.

The defense played pretty well overall for the Seahawks.  The Bucs carried the ball 21 times for 110 yards (5.2 ypc).  The Bucs also completed 16 of 27 passes for 177 net yards passing.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Friday 29 December 2006 at 6:20 pm

The Seattle Seahawks have lost 3 games in a row but secured the NFC West division championship last week.  The Bucs snapped a 4 game losing streak with a 22-7 in Cleveland last week.

The Seahawks will run the football with Shaun Alexander (804 yards rushing) and Maurice Morris (565 yards rushing) against a Bucs defense that is allowing 119.0 yards rushing per game and 3.9 yards per carry.  Matt Hasselbeck should have a good game throwing the ball against a leaky Bucs secondary that has allowed 209.5 net yards passing per game.  The Bucs don’t have much of a pass rush so Hasselbeck and Seneca Wallace should be able to pick them apart.

The Bucs will probably come out running the football against the Seahawks.  Michael Pittman and Mike Alstott will probably split carries like they did so effectively last week against Cleveland.  The Seahawks defense is giving up 127.9 yards rushing per game and 4.6 yards per carry so far this season.  The Bucs also should be able to throw the ball well now that Tim Rattay is the starting QB.  Look for Rattay to spread the ball around to Joey Galloway, Maurice Stovall and TE Alex Smith.

This should be a much better game than most people will think.  I’m siding with the Seahawks in this game because they simply have the better team.

Seahawks playoff scenarios

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Thursday 28 December 2006 at 8:30 pm

The Seahawks have clinched the NFC West Division championship.  The Seahawks have not played well overall this season and they better shape up or their playoff run will be a very short one.  If Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander play well the Seahawks could make a deep run like last season, but the defense will also have to play much better for them to win in the playoffs.

Seahawks lose a rough one 20-17 against the Chargers

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Tuesday 26 December 2006 at 1:01 pm

The Seahawks had the Chargers on the ropes most of this game, but the Chargers hit them with a knockout punch late in the 4th quarter.  Matt Hasselbeck had another rough game as he completed 17 of 37 passes for 189 yards with 2 INTs.  Shaun Alexander had a great game with 31 carries for 140 yards (4.5 ypc) and 2 TDs.  Bobby Engram (4 rec, 65 yards), Deion Branch (5 rec, 61 yards) and DJ Hackett (3 rec, 37 yards) all pitched in on the passing game.

LB Lofa Tatupu registered 12 tackles and a sack to lead the Seahawks defense against the Chargers.  The Seahawks couldn’t stop the Chargers run game as they ran up 168 yards rushing on 33 carries (5.1 ypc). The Chargers only completed 10 of 30 passes for 172 net yards thru the air.

The Seahawks fell to 8-7 on the season with this loss, but they won their division due to the Cardinals win over the Niners.

Seattle Seahawks vs. San Diego Chargers

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Thursday 21 December 2006 at 4:43 pm
The Chargers won their 8th game in a row last week 20-9 over the Kansas City Chiefs.  The Seahawks have lost two games in a row, including having a 4th quarter meltdown in a 24-14 loss last week at home against the 49ers.

The Chargers will do what they always do when they have the football and that is running it.  LaDainian Tomlinson (1,626 yards rushing) will get the bulk of the carries but Michael Turner (415 yards rushing, 6.4 ypc) will probably get a few carries as the Chargers try to keep LT fresh for the playoffs.  The Seahawks have not played well against the run this season as they’ve allowed 125.1 yards rushing and 4.5 yards per carry so far this season.  Philip Rivers had his worst game as a Pro last week, but he should rebound against the Seahawks who have allowed 207.6 net yards passing per game this season.  Rivers will probably keep his passes short and throw alot to LT and Antonio Gates.

The Seahawks will come out running against the Chargers with Shaun Alexander.  He could have some success as the Chargers are allowing 4.1 yards per carry so far this season.  The Seahawks must be able to run or Matt Hasselbeck will get severely beaten up by the Chargers pass rush that has 54 sacks so far this season.  Hasselbeck tends to get jittery in the pocket after he’s taken a few hits and starts making bad throws.  If he has time to throw, he will be able to get the ball to Deion Branch and DJ Hackett.

The Chargers should be able to run the ball at will against the Seahawks.  They will also probably get to Hasselbeck and force him to make some mistakes, so I’m siding with the Chargers in this football game.

Seahawks getting good return from free-agent signing

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Sunday 17 December 2006 at 2:33 pm

The Seahawks knew what they were getting when they signed LB Julian Peterson away from the 49ers.  Peterson has been everything the Seahawks thought they were getting…..and more!  Peterson has 79 tackles, 9 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and 5 passes defensed.  He’s already the best player on the Seahawks defense and will be for a long time.

Lousy 4th quarter does in the Seahawks in 24-14 loss to Niners

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Friday 15 December 2006 at 11:08 am

The Seahawks led this game 7-3 going into the 4th quarter, but the Niners dominated them in the 4th quarter.  Matt Hasselbeck was off as he completed 20 of 37 passes for 220 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs.  Shaun Alexander also had a tough game with 23 carries for 73 yards (3.2 ypc) and a TD.  Maurice Morris added 2 carries for 14 yards.  DJ Hackett had a good game with 8 receptions for 87 yards.  Jerramy Stevens actually caught some passes….5 of them for 64 yards and a TD.  Deion Branch caught 4 passes for 54 yards.

Lofa Tatupu led the defense with 9 tackles.  The Seahawks played great for 3 quarters, but folded badly in the 4th quarter!  The Niners ran the ball 38 times for 228 yards (6.0 ypc).  The Niners completed 14 of 25 passes for 162 net yards passing.

The Seahawks blew a chance at home to win the NFC West.  More than likely is just put off the Division Championship one more week.  The Seahawks fell to 8-6 with this loss.

Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Thursday 14 December 2006 at 12:00 pm
The 49ers have been cold lately as they’ve lost 3 games in a row.  The Seahawks can clinch the NFC West with a victory tonight.

When the 49ers have the ball look for it to be in Frank Gore’s hands frequently.  Gore has 1,347 yards rushing and is averaging 5.6 yards per carry.  He should be able to find running room against a Seahawks defense that is allowing 117.2 yards rushing per game and 4.4 yards per carry.  Alex Smith has played poorly on the road so far this season, but he has Vernon Davis back and that should help.

The Seahawks will unleash Shaun Alexander tonight against the Niners defense that is allowing 123.7 yards rushing per game and 4.3 yards per carry so far this season.  Look for Hasselbeck to also get his yards as the Niners pass defense hasn’t defending the pass to well.  They have given up an averaged of 223.2 net yards passing and have gave up 22 TDs passes.  Even without Darrell Jackson, the Seahawks will have no problems throwing to Deion Branch, Nate Burleson and DJ Hackett.

The 49ers have been terrible on the road as they are 1-5 and have been out-scored an average of 30.5-13.8!  The Seahawks have no problems getting up for home games as they are 5-1 at home.

The Seahawks lost the first meeting with the Niners 20-14, but that was in San Francisco.  Look for a different story tonight as Hasselbeck and Aelaxnder will be starting instead of Wallace and Morris.  The Seahawks will win this game in a big way and cover the 10 point pointspread.

 

Womack out for Sunday

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,Injury Reports by ravenhater on Thursday 14 December 2006 at 12:32 am

Pork Chop Womack will miss Thursday’s game with the 49ers.  Rob Sims will start in his place, but it won’t be that much of a downgrade.

Defensive tackle to miss rest of season

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,Injury Reports by ravenhater on Tuesday 12 December 2006 at 4:01 pm

Reserve tackle Craig Terrill was placed on IR with a sprained right knee ligament and he will be the rest of the season.  Terrill finishes the season with 14 tackles and 3 sacks.
