Seahawks Lose Division Contest with Rams 19-13

The Seahawks dropped a division contest with the Saint Louis Rams today, going 2-2 this year and 0-2 in the NFC West.

This loss is particularly heart breaking for two reasons…

Analysts will now feel justified in their post game assessments inferring that the Seahawks are not for real in spite of beating Dallas and Green Bay.

The aspects of the game that killed us, were things that we excelled at the last two games…

• Defense on 3rd down
• Special teams
• Quarterback ball management

Add some ridiculous penalties by Breno Giacomini, and you have a game lost that we could have easily won.

Look for Pete Carroll to have a renewed focus on the basics this week as the Hawks prepare for the Panthers on the road next week.
