The Seahawks’ offense really wasted a great effort by the defense yesterday in Cleveland.  David Whitehurst got the start at QB and he was utterly pathetic!  He completed only 12 of 30 passes for 97 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  He also fumbled twice, losing one of them.  Leon Washington led the way on the ground for the Seahawks in this game with 39 yards rushing on 7 carries (5.6 ypc).  He also caught 4 passes for 10 yards (2.5 avg) in this game.  Justin Forsett pitched in with 23 yards rushing on 8 carries (2.9 ypc) in this game.  WR Sidney Rice led the way in the passing game with 2 grabs for 38 yards (19.0 avg) for the Seahawks yesterday.  The Seahawks finished up with 65 yards rushing on 17 carries (3.8 ypc) and they completed 12 of 30 passes (40%) for 72 yards as they only had possession of the ball for 17:04 in this game.

The defense was outstanding, especially when you consider that they were on the field for a stunning 42:56!  LB David Hawthorne led the way for the Seahawks in this game with 11 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 1 pass defensed, 1 QB hit and 1 interception.  Safety Kam Chancellor (8 tackles, 1 sack, 1 pass defensed and 1 QB hit) and LB Leroy Hill (8 tackles and 1 tackle for a loss) also had solid games for the Seahawks yesterday.  DE Chris Clemons seemed to be living in the Browns’ backfield as he finished up with 4 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 tackles for a loss and 2 QB hits.  The Browns finished up with 141 yards rushing on 44 carries (3.2 ypc) and they also completed 20 of 35 passes (57.1%) for 157 yards.  The Seahawks have dropped to 2-4 on the year.

The Seahawks were making huge plays on both sides of the ball today and that’s the reason for the nice upset win over the Giants in New Jersey.  The offense really woke up in a big way today as the Seahawks threw and ran the ball well today.  Tarvaris Jackson was effective before leaving this game with a shoulder injury.  Jackson completed 15 of 22 passes for 166 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 17 yards (4.3 ypc) in this game.  Charlie Whitehurst finished up this game at QB by completing 11 of 19 passes for 149 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  Marshawn Lynch had an outstanding game today for the Seahawks.  He carried the ball 12 times for 98 yards (8.2 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Lynch also caught 4 passes for 33 yards (8.3 avg) in this game.  Rookie WR Doug Baldwin led the way through the air for the Seahawks today with 8 grabs for 136 yards (17.0 avg) with 1 TD grab.  WRs Ben Obomanu (6 rec, 51 yards, TD) and Sidney Rice (4 rec, 38 yards) also pitched in for the Seahawks in the passing game.  The Seahawks finished up with 145 yards rushing on 29 carries (5.0 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 41 passes (63.4%) for 279 yards as they had possession of the ball for 28:46.

The defense gave up a lot of passing yards today, but it didn’t matter as they also made big plays against Eli Manning.  LB Leroy Hill (8 tackles), LB David Hawthorne (7 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) and CB Brandon Browner (6 tackles, 3 passes defensed and a interception that he returned 94 yards for a TD) led the way for the Seahawks today on D.  Safeties Cam Chancellor (6 tackles, 2 passes defensed, 1 fumble recovery and 1 interception) and Earl Thomas (5 tackles, 1 pass defensed, 1 fumble recovery and 1 interception) also had huge games for the Seahawks today.  DE Anthony Hargrove also had a big play as he tackled Giants’ RB D.J. Ward in the end zone for a safety.  The Giants finished up with 69 yards rushing on 25 carries (2.8 ypc) and they also completed 24 of 39 passes for 395 yards today.  The Seahawks are back on the right track as they are now 2-3 on the season.

The defense just couldn’t get off the field today for the Seahawks and that’s why they lost today.  Tarvaris Jackson had a solid game today for the Seahawks as he completed 25 of 38 passes for 319 yards with 3 TD passes and 2 INTs.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 16 yards (8.0 ypc) today.  Marshawn Lynch carried the ball 8 times for 24 yards (3.0 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 3 passes for 33 yards (11.0 avg) today.  Justin Forsett pitched in with 11 yards rushing on 3 carries (3.7 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 30 yards (10.0 avg).  WRs Doug Baldwin (5 rec, 84 yards) and Sidney Rice (3 rec, 79 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Seahawks today.  WRs Mike Williams (3 rec, 36 yards, TD) and Ben Obomanu (3 rec, 25 yards, TD) also pitched in for the Seahawks today.  The Seahawks finished up with 53 yards rushing on 15 carries (3.5 ypc) and they also completed 25 of 38 passes (65.8%) for 319 yards as they only had the ball for 19:50.

The defense was pretty awful in this game for the Seahawks as they just couldn’t get off the field.  LB David Hawthorne (10 tackles), CB Marcus Trufant (9 tackles), LB Leroy Hill (9 tackles) and safety Earl Thomas (9 tackles and 2 tackles for a loss) led the way for the Seahawks on D today.  The Falcons rushed for 121 yards on 36 carries (3.4 ypc) and they also completed 28 of 42 passes (66.7%) for 291 yards in this game.  The Seahawks are now 1-3 on the year.

The Seattle Seahawks’ defense carried the team to victory in the hope opener yesterday.  LB Leroy Hill led the way for the Seahawks yesterday with 11 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit.  LB David Hawthorne (9 tackles and 1 pass defensed) and DE Chris Clemons (7 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 1 pass defensed and 1 QB hit) also had big time games for the Seahawks yesterday.  CB Marcus Trufant (6 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception) and safety Kam Chancellor (5 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception) also made big plays in this game for the Seahawks.  The Cardinals finished up with 90 yards rushing on 28 carries (3.2 ypc) and they also completed 25 of 39 passes (64.1%) for 234 yards.

Tarvaris Jackson didn’t play too well once again for the Seahawks yesterday.  He completed 18 of 31 passes for 171 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  He did rush for 20 yards on 4 carries (5.0 ypc) with 1 TD run (the eventual game winner) yesterday.  Marshawn Lynch led the way on the ground for the Seahawks in this game with 73 yards rushing on 19 carries (3.8 ypc).  Leon Washington pitched in with 29 yards rushing on 3 carries (9.7 ypc) in this game.  WR Sidney Rice led the way for the Seahawks in his season debut with 8 grabs for 109 yards (13.6 avg).  The Seahawks finished up with 122 yards rushing on 30 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 18 of 31 passes (58.1%) for 139 yards as they had possession of the ball for 28:11.  The Seahawks are now 1-2 on the year.

The Seahawks got drilled in Pittsburgh by the Steelers yesterday.  Tarvaris Jackson was sacked 5 times yesterday, so he was a little nervous in the pocket.  He completed 20 of 29 passes for 159 yards without a TD pass or INT.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 12 yards (4.0 ypc) in this game.  Marshawn Lynch had a day to forget as he carried the ball 6 times for 11 yards (1.8 ypc) and he also caught 1 pass for 1 yard.  Justin Forsett pitched in with 10 yards rushing on 3 carries (3.3 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 20 yards (6.7 avg) in this game.  WRs Ben Obomanu (4 rec, 35 yards) and Kris Durham (3 rec, 30 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Seahawks.  The Seahawks finished up with 31 yards on 13 carries (2.4 ypc) and they also completed 20 of 29 passes (69%) for 133 yards as they only had possession of the ball for 21:16.

The defense had a rough go of it as the Steelers were pushing them around.  Safety Kam Chancellor (9 tackles), LB Mike McCoy (9 tackles) and CB Brandon Browner (7 tackles) led the way for the Seahawks on D yesterday.  The Steelers finished up with 124 yards rushing on 35 carries (3.5 ypc) and they also completed 23 of 31 passes (74.2%) for 297 yards.  The Seahawks are now 0-2 on the season.

The Seahawks cut the 49ers lead to 19-17 late in the 4th quarter and that’s when the special teams blew this game!  Ted Ginn returned a kickoff 102 yards for a TD and a punt 55 yards for a TD within 1 minute to put the Niners up 33-17!  Tarvaris Jackson was sacked 5 times yesterday as the O-Line wasn’t giving him much time to throw the ball.  Jackson completed 21 of 37 passes for 197 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 13 yards (3.3 ypc) and he lost 2 fumbles.  Marshawn Lynch couldn’t get anything going on the ground for the Seahawks in this game as he carried the ball 13 times for 33 yards (2.5 ypc).  He also caught 2 passes for 14 yards (7.0 avg) in this game.  WRs Doug Baldwin (4 rec, 83 yards, TD), Mike Williams (4 rec, 34 yards) and Golden Tate (1 rec, 8 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Seahawks yesterday.  The Seahawks finished up with 64 yards rushing on 22 carries (2.9 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 37 passes (56.8%) for 155 yards as they had possession of the ball for 28:53.

The defense actually was pretty darn good for the Seahawks yesterday.  Safeties Kam Chancellor (10 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss) and Earl Thomas (9 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss) led the way for the Seahawks’ D in this game.  The Niners carried the ball 32 times for only 85 yards (2.7 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 20 passes (75%) for 124 yards.  The Seahawks have started the 2011 season with a 0-1 record.

The Seahawks were down 35-10 in this game with 4:40 left in the 4th quarter so the final score is a tad misleading as the Seahawks were never really in this game.  Matt Hasselbeck completed 26 of 46 passes for 258 yards with 3 TD passes and 0 INTs yesterday.  Rookie WR Golden Tate led the way for the Seahawks on the ground with 13 yards rushing on 1 carry.  Justin Forsett pitched in with 9 yards rushing on 4 carries (2.3 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 25 yards (8.3 avg).  Marshawn Lynch had a game to forget as he finished up with 2 yards rushing on only 4 carries (0.5 ypc).  WRs Brandon Stokley (8 rec, 85 yards, TD), Ben Obomanu (4 rec, 68 yards) and Mike Williams (4 rec, 15 yards, 2 TDs) led the way for the Seahawks in the passing game yesterday.  The Seahawks finished up with 34 yards rushing on 12 carries (2.8 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 46 passes for 242 yards as they only had the ball 22:50 in this game.

The Seahawks got pushed around defensively in this game as they were absolutely no match for the Bears’ offense.  LB David Hawthorne (9 tackles), safety Lawyer Milloy (7 tackles) and LB Lofa Tatupu (7 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit) led the way for the Seahawks on D in this game.  The Bears finished up with 176 yards rushing on 45 carries (3.9 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 29 passes for 261 yards.  The Seahawks season is over but they went further than most people thought possible.

The Seahawks shocked the world last night in sending the defending Super Bowl Champions home.  Matt Hasselbeck saved his best game of the year for the playoffs.  He completed 22 of 35 passes for 272 yards with 4 TD passes and 1 INT as he was outstanding yesterday.  Marshawn Lynch also had by far his best game in a Seahawks’ uniform yesterday as he carried the ball 19 times for 131 yards (6.9 ypc) with a key 67-yard TD run late in the 4th quarter to put the Seahawks up 11 points (41-30).  Justin Forsett pitched in with 20 yards rushing on 4 carries (5.0 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 12 yards (6.0 avg).  Brandon Stokley (4 rec, 73 yards,  TD), Mike Williams (5 rec, 68 yards, TD) and John Carlson (3 rec, 17 yards, 2 TDs) led the way for the Seahawks in the passing game yesterday.  The Seahawks finished up with 149 yards rushing on 25 carries (6.0 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 35 passes for 266 yards.

The defense played well against the run but the Saints torched them through the air in this game.  LB David Hawthorne (9 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 fumble recovery) led the way for the Seahawks on D in this game.  Safety Earl Thomas (8 tackles, 1 pass defensed) and CB Keith Jennings (8 tackles) also had decent games for the Seahawks yesterday.  The Saints finished up with 77 yards rushing on 22 carries (3.5 ypc) and they also completed 39 of 60 passes for 397 yards.  The Seahawks will move on to the second round of the NFL Playoffs and they will go to Atlanta if the Eagles win today.  If the Packers win today, the Seahawks are going to Chicago.

The Seahawks dominated this game defensively and it was the biggest reason for the win last night.  DE Raheem Brock turned back the clock and he had a great game.  Brock finished up with 5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 2.5 sacks, 1 pass defensed and 4 QB hits last night.  LBs David Hawthorne (7 tackles) and Will Herring (5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception) also had solid games last night.  The Rams finished up with 47 yards rushing on 15 carries (3.1 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 36 passes for 137 yards.

Charlie Whitehurst saved his best for last with the Seahawks.  Whitehurst completed 22 of 36 passes for 192 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 8 times for 30 yards (3.8 ypc) in this game.  Marshawn Lynch led the way on the ground for the Seahawks in this game with 75 yards rushing on 20 carries (3.8 ypc).  Justin Forsett pitched in with 3 carries for 28 yards (9.3 ypc) and 3 catches for 22 yards (7.3 avg) in this game.  Leon Washington only rushed for 4  yards on 1 carry in this game but he also caught 3 passes for 24 yards (8.0 avg).  WRs Ruvell Martin (3 rec, 85 yards), Ben Obomanu (5 rec, 39 yards) and Mike Williams (3 rec, 16 yards, TD) led the way for the Seahawks in the passing game last night.  The Seahawks finished up with 141 yards rushing on 35 carries (4.0 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 36 passes for 192 yards in this game.  The Seahawks tied the Rams with a 7-9 record but they won the NFC West because of the tiebreakers.  They will host the New Orleans Saints this weekend in the NFL Playoffs.

The Seahawks got dominated in every facet of this game yesterday!  Matt Hasselbeck started this game and he had to leave with a hip injury.  He completed 3 of 4 passes for 24 yards and he also carried the ball 1 time for 1 yard with a TD run.  Charlie Whitehurst finished up the game by completing 11 of 18 passes for 66 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 INTs.  Marshawn Lynch led the way on the ground for the Seahawks in this game with 53 yards rushing on 14 carries (3.8 ypc).  Leon Washington only got one carry but he made it count as he ran for a 16-yard TD.  Justin Forsett rushed for 12 yards on 8 carries (1.5 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 5 yards.  TE John Carlson (3 rec, 27 yards) and WR Golden Tate (3 rec, 10 yards) led the way for the Seahawks in this game passing wise.  The Seahawks finished up with 90 yards rushing on 28 carries (3.2 ypc) and they also completed 14 of 22 passes for 84 yards in this game.

The defense was awful as usual for the Seahawks yesterday.  LB Lofa Tatupu (10 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and 1 sack), LB David Hawthorne (9 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) and CB Marcus Trufant (6 tackles) led the way on D yesterday.  The Buccaneers finished up with 208 yards rushing on 26 carries (8.0 ypc) and they also completed 23 of 28 passes for 231 yards as Josh Freeman threw 5 TD passes.  The Seahawks are 6-9 on the season but they amazingly will be playing the Rams next weekend in Seattle for the NFC West crown.
