4 losers (and one winner) from the Seahawks Week 5 loss to the Giants

I did manage to spot one winner, though

The Seattle Seahawks played their worst game of the season so far on Sunday afternoon. With the return of some key defenders, 12s expected an easy win. apparently, so did the Hawks.

 

If there’s one lesson that can be taken from this egregious, awful, and not-good-at-all loss, it’s that there are no gimme games in the NFL.

Sorta like in college football, as AlaBAMA found out Saturday. Not that the Giants are the Commodores of the NFL. But the Hawks certainly weren’t the highly-rated Crimson Tide, either.

There was no reason for this team to come in so flat and unprepared with a chance to take a commanding lead in the division.

Of course, Seattle still leads the NFC West. That’s only because both the Niners and Rams lost too. The Hawks can’t take much solace in that, though. As poorly as Seattle played today, they would have been pancaked by either team.

 

The Seattle Seahawks had so many losers, my head is still spinning

Let’s start with a few fun stats, shall we, 12s? Six days after the Hawks put on a powerhouse display of offense against the Lions, they did virtually nothing versus the Giants.

The first half was especially awful. The time of possession in the first half was just 8:05 minutes for Seattle. If not for the fumble forced by Jerome Baker and the spectacular 102-yard return by Rayshawn Jenkins,

Seattle would have had one lone field goal on the board in the first half. Still, the Hawks did manage to come up with one winner.
