Seahawks Christmas Gift is an Offensive Shootout

48 38

Seattle If you like offense and Christmas is your favorite holiday today was game to catch as a Seahawk or Bears fan. With absolutely nothing to play for both teams let it fly, combining for 86 points. Devin Hester started the game off with a bang, taking the opening kickoff 92 yards for a score. Kicking was difficult today as torrential downpours made footing slick. C.J Spiller took a screen pass 57 yards to the house on the very next drive, evening up the score at 7-7. A Robbie Gould field goal made it 10-7, but Colt McCoy led his team down the field and capped it off with a 10 yard TD pass to Deon Butler. The team was not able to hold the lead because Devin Hester took his second kick back of the QUARTER, this time going 101 yards. It was 17-14 Bears at the end of the first. You got all that?

The second quarter was even more Bears. After Olindo Mare hit a field goal to tie it, but Matt Forte and Devin Hester both scored touchdowns to go up 31-17 heading into halftime. The Forte touchdown run was 54 yards while Devin Hester caught a 10 yard TD pass. Heading into the third quarter it was more of the same in the big play category, as both Johnny Knox and Deon Butler caught touchdown passes of 60+ yards. The score coming out of the third quarter was 38-24. Robbie Gould hit a field goal for the Bears and after a Seahawk three and out Jay Cutler struck again, this time hitting Greg Olsen for 42 yards and a TD. Seattle tried to mount a bit of a comeback, as Colt McCoy hooked up with both Nate Burleson and Deon Butler for TD's, but it was too little too late as the Seahawks went on to drop their 11th game of the year. They will go for win #5 next week, looking to top last years record.

I think I found your future quarterback.

[Yawkey Way]

Seattle travels to Invesco Field to close out the 2010 season and take on the Denver Broncos. The Seahawks are 4-11 while the Broncos are the complete opposite at 4-11.
Denver Players to Watch
The Broncos are missing 4 major players heading into today's game and more importantly the playoffs. Russ Hochstein, Pat Angerer, Atari Bigby, and Brandon Marshall are all done for the season. Kyle Orton will lead the offense though and have to utilize the weapons they do have remaining such as Knowshon Moreno, Eddie Royal, and Tony Scheffler. On defense Elvis Dumervil will look to wreak havoc in the backfield as a pass rusher.

Seattle Seahawks Players to Watch
Colt McCoy is coming off a game where he only completed 7 passes. Even as a rookie that is inexcusable, so McCoy will need to jump out to a better start if the offense wants to succeed. On defense it will come down to the run stuffing and more importantly Lofa Tatupu. If Lofa can cover his gaps and keep it stout up the middle Aaron Curry and Leroy Hill will be able to contain on the outside leaving Knowshon Moreno looking for answers.
Prediction
Seattle Seahawks 14
Denver Broncos 24

[Yawkey Way]

I think I found your future quarterback.

eh, his accuracy is AWFUL. I would think McCoy would be a more than serviceable backup. If I can't draft Sam Bradford we may have to go with him :X

Broncos Thoroughly Destroy Seahawks, Send Us Into Off-Season

31 9

Seattle This was just bad. Denver only planned on playing their starters for one half and in that one half they were able to put up 31 points. Kyle Orton threw for not one, not two, not three, but four touchdown passes in one half. Jabar Gaffney caught two, Brandon Stokley caught one, and Brandon Banks caught another. All Seattle was good for was three field goals from mr.reliable Olindo Mare. In an overall boring game Seattle got pummeled, ending a very disappointing season.

[Woy]

Sucks that McCoy disappointed against Denver, he looked great against Chicago.

Now it's time for my favorite part; the off-season.

[TheSanchize]

I agree with Woy. I would stay with McCoy though..give him time to progress! What's his Potential again?

[Yawkey Way]

he's a 58 OVR with B potential. Sam Bradford is probably mid 70's with the same potential


now i'm not a gambling man but odds are Bradford turns out to be the better pick.

[TheSanchize]

Hmmm...I'd see what happens. If Bradford turns out better then you could always trade McCoy I guess..

[goDawgs1433]

Not a whole lot of value there, really. Maybe a 6th or 7th rounder

[TheSanchize]

True, but better than nothing I guess..
