Week 13, December 2, 2007

I have higher hopes for this team than any other team I’ve been on in the (15 years) I’ve been here. -- Mack Strong

Best, Worst, Most Absurd And the winner is ...
Our DefenseKudos to the line that kept the potentially game winning touchdown at bay! That was TOUGH defense!
InjuriesAfter today's game, you'd never guess that Tatupu was injured last week!
WeatherGood job by the guys to hang on to the ball as much as they did in the freezing rain and drizzle.
Giggle, giggle!There's just something funny about big burly football players with hand muffs! :-)

The Seahawks kick off to Philly and they get a nice run back. They are predicting sleet and freezing rain for today’s game. McNabb is inactive, Feeley is starting as QB.

1st and 10 for the Eagles – INTERCEPTION!! Tatupu snagged that one on the first play of the game!

1st and 10 for the Seahawks from the 18 – Hass throws a pass, intercepted, and he drops it. That one was tipped I think. They say the ball is slick and wet.
2nd and 10 – Shaun to run and he got a 16 yard game. WELCOME BACK!!!!!! GOOD RUNNING!!!
1st and goal from the 2.5 – I HATE those lofty passes!! Hass went to the end zone. There’s time to have 3 heart attacks before the ball arrives. Incomplete.
2nd and goal – Shaun ran wide and got the TD!!! NICE play! Woooo for Tatupu, Woooo for Shaun!! 99th career touchdown run. Nice job!!! PAT is good!

Seahawks 7 - Philly 0


1st and 10 for the Eagles – Incomplete pass.
2nd and 10 – Westbrook to run. Short gain.
3rd and 7 – Oh good grief, we let them have it and more. I thought we had the play covered nicely and, oh, good grief.
1st and 10 – Russell had to come from behind to maul Westbrook to bring him down. Yikes.
1st and 10 from the 30. Buckwalter runs into the end zone. That was entirely too easy. PAT is good.

Seahawks 7 - Philly 7

Philly kicks off to the Seahawk – Wilson to run it back for a short return.
1st and 10 – Wide pass to Weaver who unfortunately stepped out of bounds earlier than it appeared. He gets 5.
2nd and 5 – Pass down the middle to Branch short of the first down.
3rd and 1 – SACK. Hass waited WAY too long. Ball popped out. Locklear was lucky to get the ball back. He risked his body for the recovery.
4th and whatever. Punt. Philly fields it at the 50. Josh Wilson is lying on the turf after the play.

1st and 10 for the Eagles – Running play, we nailed them.
2nd and 12 – Westbrook to run and jukes a bit and makes us miss a tackle.
3rd and something - INTERCEPTION! Tatupu gets it and keeps running to the 8 yard line! #2 for Tatupu, who is covered in dirt and grass and grease and grime. OK, maybe not grease.
1st and goal for the Seahawks – Screen to Weaver. Little if any gain.
2nd and goal – Shaun to stutter and go down. He paused instead of running. Loss of 2.
3rd and goal – TOUCHODWON ENGRAM!!! Mr 3rd down!!! WOOOOOO!!! Nice job! I’m guessing that was a play changed by Hass at the line. GOOD JOB! Engram is jacked! Love his enthusiasm. PAT is good, though it looks like the ball is hard as a rock.

Seahawks 14 - Philly 7

Seahawks kick off to Philly. Short return.

1st and 10 for the Eagles – Westbrook to run. Tatupu got him. His jersey looks bad for this early in the game!
2nd and 5 – Long pass down field into double coverage – I’m not convinced there shouldn’t have been interference on Philly there.
3rd and 5 – And we let them get another big pass off. Bummer!
1st and 10 – Westbrook to run, gets two yards.
2nd and 8 – Feeley to pass. Goes wide and the slippery ball can’t be caught.
3rd and 8 – Incomplete pass.
4th and 9 – Field goal is good.

Seahawks 14 - Philly 10

Burleson fields the kick off and is upended.


1st and 10 – Safe pass to Burleson (I think.)
2nd and 3 – Shaun to run and keeps moving but gets nowhere.
3rd and 3 – Slant pass to Branch. First down.
1st and 10 – Mo to run.
2nd and 8 – Mo to run past mid field. Flags fly. I think the Eagles were off-sides. Yep. Penalty is declined.
1st and 10 – Weaver to run into a wall. We nearly took too long on that play. Walter Jones is on the sidelines. Eeks.
2nd and 9 – Shaun to stutter step looking for a hole. No hole. 2 yard gain.
3rd and 7 – Hass to Burleson for a first down. NICE. Hass scrambled to the side and threw low to Nate. Nice play.

1st and 10 for the Seahawks – We have great field position from the 43. Pass to Nate Burleson who is so wide open that he can saunter into the end zone. NICE! PAT is good.

Seahawks 21 - Philly 10

Seahawks kick off to the Eagles. Buckhalter runs 36 yards on the kick-off.

1st and 10 for the Eagles – Feeley should have been sacked; instead he got a little shuffle pass out and Westbrook got a lot of yards. Bleah.
1st and 10 – Feeley has all day, goes to Reggie Brown.
2nd and 1 – Oh, good grief, we let Westbrook get the first down when he should have been hit for a loss.
1st and 10 – Feeley to Curtis in the end zone. PAT is good.

Seattle 21 - Philly 17

Philly kicks off to Burelson

2nd and 15 – Sack.
3rd and 15 – Weaver drops the ball after it hits his hands and bounces out.
4th and 15 – Short punt, they’re calling it a shank.

1st and 10 for the Eagles – Feeley to pass. Has time. Dumps it over the middle to the tight end. First down.
1st and 10 – Feeley scrambles and then runs for a short gain.
2nd and 8 – Feeley fakes a hand off, then runs and sort of slides. Tatupu was coming to get him.

1st and 10 – Feeley goes to the end zone. Flag. Pass interference on us? Yep. Jennings was guilty.
1st and goal from the 1 – Westbrook to run for a loss. Man these guys are dirty. I wouldn’t want to do the Seahawks’ laundry this week! ? 2nd and goal from the 2 – Time out Eagles. :25 left in the game. They’re running off as much time as possible so that we won’t get the ball back. Pass to the end zone, incomplete and uncatchable.
3rd and goal – Westbrook tries and tries and tries, no TD signal. They’re saying he’s short.
4th and goal – Eagles are going for it. :07 left in the game. Booth review of the previous play. Gotta say, lots of guts for the Eagles. I don’t agree with the Eagles’ call. HE DOESN’T GET IN!!! It’s not even close!!!!! WA HOOOO!!!!!! Rocky Bernard got him!!!!! :03 left in the game.

1st and 10 for the Seahawks on the goal line. Our boys had to run one play and make sure it’s not a safety . We did it. Whew!


*** HALF TIME***

Philly kicks off to the Hawks. We run it out to the 35.


1st and 10 – Shaun to run wide, gets a short gain.
2nd and 8 – Hass to Engram, drops the ball, the Eagles recover. It’s questionable whether or not he had a reception. You don’t see Bobby drop them very often.

1st and 10 for the Eagles – Incomplete pass after the receiver slipped and fell.
2nd and 10 – Eagles to run. Big gain for Westbrook. Bleah.
2nd and 2 – First down pass for Feeley.

3rd and 6 – In and out of the hands of Branch. It was a low pass, looks like a really heavy ball. Branch had to face plant to try to catch it.

1st and 10 for Philly – Philly to run and we nail him. Bernard gets another really good tackle after his awesome goal line stance earlier in the game.

1st and 10 from the 47 – Hass to pass. Goes safely to Pollard.

3rd and 1 – MO TOUCHDOWN!!! 45 yards and he just runs and runs and runs and runs and runs and runs and runs! Shaun congratulates him and laughs. PAT is good.

3rd and 5 – Again, Feeley has all day to pass. Throws into double coverage and it’s incomplete.
4th and 5 – 49 yard field goal attempt – Not even close. Not really his fault – I’d have punted in the weather they’re having today. We’ll have good field position.

*** TWO MINUTE WARNING***


1st and 10 for the Seahawks – This is some tense football. I want the game to be over. I think Philly has all their time outs left so it’s not a matter of us just running down the clock. We have to PLAY. We’ve got to get a first down or two. Shaun to run. Short gain. If we run three stupid running plays I’m going to be ticked. The Eagles use a time out.
2nd and 9 – Shaun to run. Eagles use their second time out.
3rd and 8 – Shaun to run again. No surprise there. Philly took their final time out.
4th and 7 – Seahawks to punt. Stinky punt, excellent return. 64 yards on the return.
1st and 10 – 1:20 left in the game. Feeley scrambles and goes down. 1:05 left.
2nd and 12 – Buckhalter to run. Short gain.
3rd and 7 - :30 left in the game. INTERCEPTION! TATUPU!!!!!!! Ties the Seahawks franchise record for INTs in a game!!!! WE WIN!!!
