In this week's loss to the Arizona Cardinals, it seemed like not much went right, and for the most part nothing did. The Seahawks limp into their much needed bye week with a 2-4 record, including two losses to division opponents. This week really showed that the Hawks still have a long way to go before they can be contenders again.



+The secondary could do nothing to stop the Cardinals' receiving trio led by Fitzgerald. Warner killed the Hawks all day mostly on short to medium length passes. Our secondary was not nearly aggressive enough. However, they were able to keep Arizona from getting a big play through the air.

+The front seven did a solid job, for the most part, of containing the running game of the Cardinals. That being said, the Cardinals' run game is not very strong, putting it nicely. The Seahawk defensive line was getting off the ball quickly but could not seem to put much pressure on Warner with the exception of a few plays. Curry was very aggressive, one of the few on the field for the Hawks today. Tatupu's injury is devastating, however Hawthorne is a competent replacement and Hill's hopeful return will provide the veteran leadership lost with Lofa.

+Offensively, there is not much to say. If it wasn't for the garbage yards Hasselbeck got at the end of the game, Jon Ryan would have had more yards than number 8. The running game was absolutely terrible, and even Carlson who is normally the one consistent player on offense, had a key drop and did not look his best.

Player of the game: Jon Ryan, had a huge pass on a fake punt which set up the Seahawks' one score as well as his great punts which seem to be the one constant on this team.

Is it time to panic yet? Probably. Getting players back after the bye will help, but even then this team has to make a major turnaround.
