Tavaris Jackson tossed three touchdowns to go with two interceptions,but looked very sharp in the second half and very comfortable in the no huddle.
The Seahawks fall to1-3 on the season and travel to the Big Cesspool next week against the Giants..
Puget Sounds
1) Tavaris Jackson played so well in the second half that he might have bought himself some time over Charlie Whitehurst.
The no huddle seemed to suit Jackson and if the Seahawks were smart,they would add some more wrinkles to the package.
2) The difference maker in this one was a Jackson interception that was not his fault.
Jackson gunned what looked to be a touchdown pass to Zach Miller,who was crossing the goal line with one foot down and the other on the way when he was blasted by a Falcon,popping the ball into the air to be grabbed by another Falcon.
In a game that was lost by two points,that was huge,but that was a big shot,so I cannot blame Miller any....
3) I loved the 52 yard TD pass from Jackson to Sidney Rice.
I did not care as much for the throat slash by Rice after the score that cost 15 yards of field position.
When will some of these guys ever learn?
4) The defense started slow and giving up 30 points is never good,but the second half clearly saw the "adjustments" that are referred to in every game made by the defense.
Atlanta struggled running the ball in the second half,which led to more Seattle possessions and started the ball rolling for the Seahawks to get back into the game....
5) Two things to look for this week-Mike Williams and Doug Baldwin both left the game with head injuries.
That makes the second and third receivers questionable for the Giants game next week.
Baldwin has been a surprise this season,while Williams showed signs of breaking out of his early doldrums yesterday before the injury....
6) The rumor mill had Aaron Curry on the trading block early in the week.
Curry's contract would make him tough to deal,but I liked what I saw from him yesterday.
I think Curry is getting closer to turning things around,I would hate to see him go just as he is on the verge of that.....
7) Kam Chancellor missed the game and was missed.
The secondary is not the same without the thumper in the middle of the field.
8) A Browns note-you had better hit a homer with the Falcons top pick next year because Julio Jones is good.
Really good.
Jones might not have been as good as a Browns without Roddy White on the other side,but trust me-he is good...
9) Pete Carroll almost had to try the 61 yarder at the end of the game.
It was fourth and eight with just eight seconds to go and getting a play off after a possible fourth down play might have been dicey.
Considering into the wind and the all time long at Qwest Field is 55 yards,it was unlikely,but I understand the risk....
10) Seattle will only play one home game in the next month as they travel to New York,take their bye week,travel to Cleveland before hosting the Bengals and then back on the road again to Dallas.....
