Seattle Seahawks Season Update
The ‘08 season for the Seattle Seahawks was a lost season if you will – no one could stay healthy and the season was over before it began.
Much of the reason for the team’s horrible 2008 season can be assigned to the fact that Matt Hasselbeck, the team’s long time quarterback, was lost for much of the season due to injury. Doesn’t look like he’ll be able to stay healthy throughout this season either.
Flashes of that returned last week, when Hasselbeck was forced out of the Seahawks’ game against the San Francisco 49ers during week 2 of the 2009 NFL season.
At the goal line, Hasselbeck was hit hard by 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis, and was forced to leave the game. Some x-rays conducted later revealed that Hasselbeck had suffered a bruise to the ribs, and his status for the team’s week 3 game against the Bears at home is in doubt.
A game against the Bears would surely be difficult to win without the team’s premier quarterback, so they’re hoping he’ll be at their side when it comes down to game time. With Jay Cutler running the show for the Bears, the Seahawks defense will have some issues.
The Seahawks looked great in an easy week 1 victory against the visiting St. Louis Rams, blanking them by a score of 28-0. Let’s keep in mind that the Rams were one of the worst teams in the league last season, so this doesn’t prove much.
Week 2 wasn’t as kind to them, as the team lost in San Francisco to the 49ers, a fellow NFC West team. Not only did they lose the game, but Hasselbeck took a serious shot.
If the Seahawks can stay healthy for the majority of the season they are an easy 8 win team — which is double the wins from last season. The Seahawks have their coveted “12th man” with the home crowd which makes it difficult for opponents to play them on their own turf.
