Hawks Lay an Egg Against A Banged-Up Steelers Team

It was a very sad day for the Hawks in the Steel City. Not only did Seattle get shutout 21-0, but they played like they had other things on their mind. Seattle could not run ball with only 38 total rushing yards compared too the Steelers 163. Seatlle's offense could not get any kind consistency at all in the entire game. Hasselback was forcing throws throughout the game even when he did have time.

The Hawks offense was rarely seen in the second half due to the Steelers taking large chunks of time off the clock. To start the third quarter the Steelers went on a 17 play touchdown drive that ate-up 10 minutes and thirty seconds. The Steelers won the time of possesion for the game with having the ball for over 40 minutes compared too the Hawks 19 minutes. If the Hawks want to be a playoff team, they must do a better job of running the football. If Alexander has only 25 yards on 11 carries like he did against the Burg, Seattle is going too lose most of the time.

Playoffs teams play like playoffs teams! Teams that don't make the playoffs, can't run the ball, can't throw the ball, cannot put pressure on the quarterback, can't tackle, can't score touchdowns in redzone, instead kick field goals, or turn it over in the redzone when they have a chance to score. Wake Up Seattle Seahawks! The {Aints} Saints are coming to town.
