COUCH NOTES: Redskins vs Seahawks
IN-GAME COMMENTARY
Pre-Game: 1:35pm - Tony Siragusa was talking about how loud the Seahawks fan were. A rock concert at 120 decibels doesn't seem to loud, especially when the stadium was only registering around 100.
12:38 1st Qtr: Seattle's Shaun Alexander fumbles. Who would have thought that the NFL MVP would be the one playing cautiously. Washington's defense looks far more apprehensive than the beginning of last week's game in Tampa Bay when they were "tenacious".
3:02 1st Qtr: Alexander suffers a concussion. Did you hear how quiet the stadium got? Just like Carson Palmer's injury for Cincinnati last week, the pall over the players and fans was significant. The difference today appears that the Seahawks became instantly deflated by the injury and Cincy was pumped up before falling in the third quarter against Pittsburgh.
End of the 1st Qtr: The Seahawks are controlling possession beautifully. It reminds of the Baltimore Ravens against Oakland in the 2000 AFC Championship Game. Seattle doesn't seem poised to making the Redskins pay for it, though.
Halftime: Seattle RB Maurice Morris is coming up big in replacing the injured Alexander.
10:11 3rd Qtr: Hasselbeck scores to make it 14-3. The momentum was slowly flowing towards the Seahawks. After this last score, the defense seems more visibily inspired. Seattle is a timely turnover away from putting this game away.
6:08 3rd Qtr: Redskins QB Mark Brunell is finally finding his weapons--Santana Moss and Chris Cooley. It's about time. The 'Skins punter is wearing his foot out with seven punts through half the game.
