The mess in Seattle

SEAHAWKS

Is this the Sunday we’ll look back at and figure it’s when it all fell apart?

Will we moan about the low hit that cost the Hawks their quarterback? Or the 95-yard run as the beginning of the end of the defense’s dominance?

Only time will let us know, but from the chair Sunday afternoon, it sure seemed like the answer would be yes to all those questions.

Let’s get to it.

Jim Meehan was in Seattle and here’s his game story from this morning’s paper, along with his column about the Seahawks’ litany of injuries.

The game stories: Times; P-I; News Tribune; Everett.

Columns: The P-I’s Art Thiel on the depth of the Hawks’ problems, and the P-I again, this one from Ted Miller; Dave Boling of the News Tribune saying Seneca Wallace can handle it; John Sleeper in Everett on what the Hawks have to fix; and Jerry Brewer in the Times.

Features and sidebars: The News Tribune had Steve Hutchinson’s reception, the possible severity of Matt Hasselbeck’s injury, and a look at the back-breaking run; Everett examines Wallace, the big plays yielded by the defense, and the Hawks’ offensive woes; the Times on Hutchinson, on Wallace and on the offensive line; the P-I looks at the defense, Hutchinson, and the hit on Hasselbeck.
