Atrocious play by Hasselbeck gives that one to the Chiefs. Granted the best run offense vs one of the worst run defenses played out (Seattle needs a dominant run stopping lb, Tutupuu is too small, same can be said of Curry, and Hawthorn is really a backup on most other NFL teams) but Hasselebeck blew it. After 60 passing yards in first half, has a good drive and connects on two passes in short order to have Seattle down by 4 early in 3rd.

However then he goes three straight drives with turnovers, almost. First was a int that the db was bobbling as he fell to ground. Next drive, he fumbles. Next drive, another pathetic throw for an INT. From 21-17 to 35-17 just like that. It's as if he assumed the next drives are as easy as the first. For a 13 year veteran inexcusable.

Time to put him out to pasture, he's washed up and well past his prime. He can still fling the ball but accuracy and decision making, never a strong suit even on good teams and in his prime, is killing this team.
With Rams winning, Sea has work cut out for it. Hope for an ARI win tomorrow as Sea has tie breaker, and will all but punt out SF. May well come down to last game avaunt ST.L.
