I admit to not having scouted the Falcons at all. I know they gave the Cars a good game last week on the road and all that the national media coverage has told me (for what that's worth).
Basically, we're looking for a few simple things today:
- Stay healthy
- Play with aggression
- Try to keep the running game going
- Seneca's development
Is he any better than he was last season?
- Who mops up at the RB spot?
It used to be Mo, but he's kind of the starter now.
We've been told that this is a professional locker room with great leaders. I believe that. Winning a game like this would validate those beliefs a bit. Seahawks teams of the past would definitely lose this. My head is telling me we're going to lose, but I'm hoping for a solid victory leading us into the playoffs.

Curious to see how the O-line plays today.
nice runs so far
Nice run Mo.....see if they work Hackett in here
Shaun almost had that...morning Hawkblogger
congrats, shaun. I wish it could have happened at home.
There it is.....WOOT! Congrats Shaun
morning cwu!
welcome back josh wilson
good to see hackett as well
don't be surprised to see the hawks try to get pollard involved. they want him to be another threat in the playoffs
that's a crap call on lofa
julian whiffed
no fire in the falcons eyes. they look like they are checked out. Let's keep it that way
dj is dropping balls. doesn't usually happen
Some similarities between Alexander and Dunn this year from a statistics standpoint. Wonder what the cause of the decline was in Atlanta?
Ugh, should have handed that off to Shaun...he had a huge lane
barakka atkins sighting. he's getting some snaps the last two weeks
I think your correct on Atlanta...the game has sort of a pre-season feel to it
Lofa....the screen killer, lol
Nice tackle Babs
man, it's quiet
lofa overpursued
nice play by grant to support the run
great play. we've been nails on 4th downs
Nice 4th down D...they strung that out perfectly
Hawkblogger, are you going to the game next weekend?
Pollard getting involved
Wonder if Abraham regrets not signing with Seattle??
Nice kick Josh!
good to see that kick
yep, i'll be at the game next week
I was thinking about abraham as well. We likely would not have kearney if we had signed him. Not sure if we're better off. I know abraham isn't. :)
way too much time in the pocket
Norwood's got some wheels
lofa is not having a great game
the hawks had an outside shot to lead the NFL in scoring defense, but that TD pretty much kills our chances.
Agreed...FA is a bit of a crap shoot. Hugh Douglas was another one that didn't come to pass, thank god.
Yet another on side kick, lol
the offense is stinking it up now. No rhythm. slow tempo
Section 207....nice catch Bobby
Hackett held on to that one....run the upback mike
yes! 3rd and 1 conversion. Sweet!
chris gray got eaten alive again
Roll Matt out Mike
section 207? is that where you'll be? I'm 304 with the meat-eaters...oh shit. what a stupid play by matt.
Fall on the ball....jeez these guys have hands of stone
horrible. horrible. this game is turning bad
just pull everyone. we're playing like a bunch of second stringers anyway. grrr.
seemed like a crap call. Hackett should have caught that.
terrible game for hackett. worst game I've seen from him.
mo's hurt
left hand
sweet play. Those two are blood brothers.
c'mon. let's go into halftime ahead.
LOL, I wasn't always that blessed. I came home from Germany in 84 to attend the original Battle in Seattle. Those tickets came courtesy of some work my Dad did for Rusty Tillman. Anyway, ole horseface beat the Hawks, and we wound up getting the wildcard.
Stood in line most of the night (in the rain) down by the Kingdome to get the playoff tickets...a strip of three right under the diamond vision in the 300 level.
That game was a fairly rowdy affair....I saw a Raider fan get tagged on the side of the head by a glass whiskey bottle as he was getting escorted out. The game was an absolute hoot. I still wear my old gear from that game to all home games.
So, if you see a middle-age man wearing old team colors that don't quite fit anymore....that would be me.
Beautiful throw and catch right there. Hope Booby gets his hundred catches.
get off the field on 3rd down!!!
all day in the pocket today. no pressure.
oh, julian was held on that play
I can only joke so much about being in the tough section. I'm under cover. Those crazies in the end zones eat raw meat.
I did used to have the best seats in the Kingdome at the 50 yard line, very last row. I was able to touch the dome ceiling. Great way to watch a game, and back then, it was only $10/ticket.
3 and out. just what the dr ordered.
4.6 YPC in the first half. Maybe we should forget passing and just run. :)
I'd expect to see Holmgren leave Hass in for at least one more series. If they score, he will be pulled.
welcome back DJ. that's what I'm used to seeing from him
oops, I guess they already went to Wallace. I'm surprised a bit.
seneca audible. interesting to see how he does on those. decent first result. nice fight for yards by courtney taylor
I'd like to see what Seneca can do in the shotgun. I think he'd be much more dangerous. when he played last year, Mike wasn't allowing any shotgun.
another 3rd and 1 conversion. boo yeah! :)
Nice job by hill on that stop. Anyway, a friend of mine here in Anchorage has a strip of five club seats (ah, the joys of being single) and makes it down for every home game.
Mo running well today
Seneca making good decisions
mo should have gotten more out of that screen
looks like the saints won't be coming to seattle
Nice pass protection....Not! I'd like to see Seneca get a chance to take a shot downfield...he throws a sweet deep ball.
Nice kick Josh!
I thought you said your friend had 5 strip clubs. that really got my attention. :)
josh brown now leads the seahawks in special teams tackles
Josh, LOL
that was the closest kerney has got to a sack. mario williams is still without one
whew. marcus looks okay.
Sit Marcus, sit....hate to see a repeat of Tampa 06
Sheesh, Anderson is older than I am...barely
Actually, we work together right down the street from the Great Alaska Bush Company.....maybe a power lunch there in the making : )
Leave your feet, bad things happen
look at courtney taylor! new man crush brewing. that guy is attacking the tacklers.
nice conversion. nate is one of the only receivers that takes 3-4 tacklers to be brought down. I love that.
Woot!....that was beautiful running by Mo
running game is really showing me something this week. solid blocking. hey, I see Ray Willis in there at right guard.
rob sims and chris spencer with some great blocks on that play, especially sims who walled his guy off to create the hole.
okay. I'm going to risk jinxing the Hawks here. we've got 27 points. we're 9-1 when scoring more than 20 pts this year. We're going to win, even though we're only up by one TD.
of course, our defense is stinking it up right now.
Well, you know what they say about stats, right? : )
son of a... that's just ugly.
Poor tackling by Lofa on that....gotta wrap him up
okay. now the only times we've allowed 27 or more pts this year, we've lost (Cleveland and New Orleans).
stats are battling for supremacy today.
oh, jesus. time to get on the treadmill.
Come on D...show yourself
Plenty of time left..lets go O!
Poor Seneca. He's going to be kicking himself for that one
Why are we not running the ball?
Charlie Frye anyone?
Weaver out of the single back......finally
Damn...holding wiped out another nice run by Mo.
Let's go O!
Pound weaver
Weaver out of the singleback again...another first down
Run the trap here
Nicely done Seneca
Lets go D! Make a play...
Norwood got hammered on that
Nice tackle Babs
Nice pass to Hacket
And a good route adjustment by Nate
Run the high post here
Nice pass Seneca
Holmgren wasn't happy with that kick...squib it
Kick it to the other side now
maddening
Well....Mission Accomplished..no major injuries and enough ire on the coaches part to warrant disciplined practice this week.
Should be a good game and I can't wait....if you can make it to the exhibition hall Hawkblogger, I'll buy ya a beer.
Happy New Year!
Looks like 4:30EST next Saturday...Redskins at Hawks
