GRADE FOR 2009:  B

29-year old Seneca Wallace will likely hang on as the back-up QB in 2010 but the Seahawks shouldn’t go into the year with him the starter.  He played in 13 games for the Seahawks last season and he completed 78 of 120 passes (65%) for 700 yards with 3 TD passes and 2 INTs (81.9 QB Rating).  Wallace also carried the ball 16 times for 2 yards (0.1 ypc) with a TD run this year.  Wallace has now played in 48 games in his NFL career and he has completed 333 of 556 passes (59.9%) for 3,547 yards with 25 TD passes and 14 INTs (83.1 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 54 times for 214 yards (4.0 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Wallace is a solid back-up but the Seahawks would be in trouble letting him be the #1 guy in 2010.

The Seahawks defense could not stop Chris Johnson, but they shouldn’t hang their heads too low since nobody could stop Johnson this year.  Johnson eclipsed the 2,000 yard mark for the season in this game, becoming only the sixth player in league history to achieve that feat.  He had 134 yards and 2 touchdown on 34 carries in this one, including a late game score that was enough for the Titans to win.  This was a characteristic way for the Seahawks to end their frustrating 2009 season.

The Seahawks cannot let the Titans build an early lead, as they are horrible when playing from behind.  Seahawks’ quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has had a very disappointing season, and the last two games have been some of his worst all season.  He has 8 interceptions in the past two outings, and if continues to turn the ball over like that in this game the Seahawks will have no chance.  The Titans don’t have a very good secondary and give up over 26o passing yards per game, so Hasselbeck should have some opportunities to end his season on a good note.  Not too much has gone right for the Seahawks this season though, and with Chris Johnson breaking records I am going with the Titans in this one.

PREDICTION:  Seattle Seahawks 20, Tennessee Titans 28

Houshmandzadeh pitched in with 4 grabs for 51 yards (12.8 avg) in this game.  TE John Carlson only caught 2 passes for 24 yards (12.0 avg) but he caught a TD pass.  The Seahawks finished up with 291 total yards on offense (115 rushing, 176 passing) in this game.

Linebacker Will Herring (8 tackles) and DT Brandon Mebane (6 tackles) led a terrible effort by the Seahawks’ D yesterday.  The Packers finished up with 417 total yards on offense (153 rushing, 264 passing) in this game.  The Seahawks are now 5-10 on the year.
