Absolute garbage from the Seahawks today. Falcon fans are doing the wave...they're 3-12.

Sure, you've got spots wrapped up but indifferent play and piss poor attitudes going into the playoffs is junk. Only because they're in the 2nd weakest division in football are they heading to the playoffs, and played teams with horrible records (the easiest schedule in the league based on records).

Hasselbeck needs his hand held week to week, a complete high maitenence project. Mistakes rookies make. Making horrible throws and bad decisions...and then passing blame for those bad throws and his bad decisions, throwing him arms in the air and shaking his head and throwing temper tantrums.

That maybe fine 4 years ago, but he's been in the league 7 years now. Good thing Seattle got rid of the Kingdome, Hasselbeck head wouldn't fit in it his ego's so big. Turn your hat around when you're on the sidelines, you idiot.

Finally, thankfully, Holmgren is taking him to task for just doing enough to get by. Its gone so far as him requesting 90 seconds to cool off from Holmgren if Holmgren's mad at him. And Holmgren has lots of reason mad at him the last few weeks. For 5 weeks, against poor teams, he played well...the last few however, garbage...and there is mometum to be had in the post season and Hasslebaeck has taken the last 2 weeks off.

Then you have Wallace...he looks like he's being mentored by Hasselbeck...he's been in the league for more then a few years, and making the same horrible throws and looks like a deer in the headlihts when he makes those bad throws, having no clue why things went wrong.

Hard to believe Hasselbeck's getting mentioned in telecasts in the same breath as elite QB's in the league. He's got the tools, sure. But his horrible attitdue, and questionable decision making as what should be consdiered a veteran, keeps him well out of any talk of being in the top 5 QB's in the league...where I firmly believe he thinks he is and plays with that sense of entitlement more often than not.

I think SEA should win at home next week vs WSH or MIN, but cannon fodder for GB the next week, save GB throwing the game away....judging by last years divisional game, where Hasslebeck gets sacked on 3rd down when he could've dumped off a 5 yd gain and a chance for a long FG in OT before the Bears took the subsequent punt to get in FG themselves, he's just not smart enough under pressure to make that critical play that elite QB's seem to make 99% of the time.
