Not that I expected SEA to take on Manning toe for toe, another frustrating game watching Wallace muddle and fumble through another game.

With just a little bit of luck, SEA could've had 14 points at half time. Wallace took to long to release the ball to a wide open receiver which would've had them at the 10 yard line. Instead, illegal forward pass, the penalty pushed them back, lost the down, and was out of FG range. This after Wallace stepping out of bounds, losing 6 yards, instead of throwing the ball away. Just brutal awareness. Then, 1st and goal, a penalty, a bad Wallace pass, and then a sack, and have to settle for another FG.

As good as the Colts were in the first half, on 2 of the 3 TD drivess SEA had them on the ropes with 2nd or 3rd and long and let them off the hook with penalties or poor tackling to keep drives alive.

Just now, the ability for Wallace to run (thats all he can do) for a first down, holds onto the ball and get its stripped. As poorly as that is, the more disturbing part that he's walking off the field and standing on the sidelines in a daze which can't inspire confidence from anyone that this guy knows what's really going on with the gameplan or what he really has to do. He has a built in excuse in being a backup, and his sympathizers ask what else you can expect from him, and point to the 1 out of 4 plays where he looks good....the other 3 misses, there are galring mistakes that 6 year backups shouldn't be making and are costing the team.

The sooner they clean house in SEA with the most important position of QB, the better. They've built up many other areas decently well, and spent a lot of money to do that. The ownership given too much free reign to Hasselbeck the past 2 years, simply based on Homgren's decision 8 years ago to go with Hasslebeck, and, because the option as a backup isn't that strong. This team isn't even close to being in the 2nd tier of NFL teams. Hasselbeck is brtitle, still making poor decisions, and has a poor attitude, and isn't a leader. Wallace hasn't had much mentoring from Hasslebeck, so his learning is by watching, and it shows in the bad decisions. The Seahawks aren't using Wallace's main strength which is his legs, but really, he is and will always be a career NFL backup, and he should be playing spot duty. Given his non-chalence when he makes critical mistakes, and dopiness when he makes bad decisions, the sooner they can get rid of that type of player, the better. Hasslebeck will be back when they play a team he thinks that they can beat, and if he loses, his ribs are still sore. No way he wanted to be out there and be embarrased by a real NFL Qb.

Unfair on SEA's defense for having an anemic offense, an offesnse with no leader. Looknig at the score you think that SEA's defense was crap when its not nearly as bas as the offense. I hope there's no token late TD for SEA, because that 3 points tells the whole story about this game.

Edit: Another clueless fumble on Wallace, who looks completely disinterested on the field and on the bench.
