2nd and 7 – Rivers hands off for a running play; first down. Bad defensive coverage again. Flags. Holding on the offense! WA HOO! We needed that! Oh yeah, big time holding. Madden says it’s fair play but I don’t think so!
2nd and ? – Flags. False start. Whew. San Diego is self-destructing. Madden admits on replay that the previous play was definitely holding.

3rd and 17 – Rivers to thorw from the shotgun. Good screen play and he almost got the first down. It’s short but barely.
4th and 1 at 38. They didn’t get it! TOUGH DEFENSE! Way to go boys! It happened fast and was hard to tell exactly what happened but we got in there and did the job. Nice! It appeared as though the Chargers were easily moving downfield on us and then they self-destructed.

---- END OF FIRST QUARTER ----

The aerial views of San Diego are BEAUTIFUL!
1st and 10 – Reverse – he drops the ball. Bad hand off. We’re all over him for a huge loss of 11.
2nd and 21 – Rivers has all day, hits the receiver (Floyd) in the hands and he drops it. San Diego blew that one as we were soft in coverage.
3rd and 21 – Short pass, ball squirts loose, Seahawks celebrate a fumble recovery. Not sure what the ruling is. They’re calling it
4th down. The replay clearly appears to be a fumble. Holmgren throws the challenge flag. We go to commercials. Lots of them. Lots and lots of them. How many must we watch, and why aren’t we seeing the replays? Grrrrr. Trufant stripped the ball, Wilson recovered it. The SD player was on his back with the ball coming out so he clearly wasn’t down. Ruling on the field is reversed. Seattle wins the challenge. HOORAY!!!

1st and 10 – Seneca to roll out, scrambles out of bounds. Flag. Holding on the defense.
1st and 10 – Mo to run for what appeared to be nothing but he kept working and gained a few yards. Nice running.
2nd and 4 – Wallace lofted the pass straight to a Charger. Hackett made a nice tackle on the interception.
1st and 10 – Pass was thrown low, hit the turf, he tried to catch it and run with it anyway. No, no! You can’t do that! Come on!!!
2nd and 10 – We stopped the run on that play. Very nice.
3rd and 8 – Nice pass play; Green to make the tackle but not until SD had the first down. That was too easy for them.
1st and 10 – Has time to pass, Sproles to catch the pass.
2nd and 5 – Scrambles and slips, we touch him down.
3rd and 11 – Sack, fumble, Seahawks football!!!! Tapp got the fumble.
1st and 10 – Seneca wants to throw deep, runs with the ball for 8 yards, drops the ball. San Diego says it’s theirs. Officials agree. Nope, on replay it appears that he’s down. The ground caused the fumble. Let’s see if Holmgren throws the flag again. We don’t know because we’re at a commercial break again. Yep, he challenged it. The explanation by Madden is that it is a fumble, but I thought the ground couldn’t cause the fumble. The ruling is upheld because he wasn’t touched before the ball started to come out. Hmmm…

1st and 10 – Stoles to run for a short gain; flags. Face mask on Atkins. 15 yarder. Ouch.
1st and 10 – Nice pass just shy of the first down. Low pass, he dove to get it.

1st down. Time out Seattle; 4:46 left in the half
4th and 1 – We went for it on
4th, Wallace stepped back to throw, panicked and started to run. Fell short of the first down.

1st and 10 – Draw play to Sproles, nice gain. Bentley on the tackle. Time out San Diego.
