As I said, 21-17 and he throws the INT that Carrol did challenge, and got over turned. Right after the Chiefs went up 28-17, Hasslebeck fumbles it, 3 plays later its 35-17. Next possesion, he throws an INT. Game over.
I agree about the KC running, it wore down Seattle's poor defense all day, and ran out the game when the result wasn't in question.
But as I say week in and week out, this team, especially a younger team, needs a leader to rally them. When the supposed leader is making lazy decisions and unable to bring the team back from behind/putting the final nail in the coffin by coughing it up (it has to be years since his last comeback win), it seems like a ship just floating out there without a captain.
Point is, just looking at today, if Hasslebeck makes some plays when they were within 4 or 11, like a veteran QB should be making once in a while, that game could come down to the wire. In todays case, his brutal mistakes on back to back possesions removed any doubt for the rest of the team that it had a hope.
