"You are going to get maybe 10 batted balls like that in a season and we got two during the fourth quarter that both ended up as interceptions. It's really disappointing, but I don't know what you can do about it." -- QB Matt Hasselbeck
"Nobody's panicking in here. We feel bad because we lost, and we should, but nobody's panicking." -- Fullback Mack Strong
"We haven't settled into the combination that we like the best, quite honestly. There is a good chance Lamar King comes back this week, which adds another dimension to the defensive line. We're going to move people around." -- Mike Holmgren regarding the defense.
"It's not the end of the world, but it deflates you a little bit." QB Matt Hasselbeck
"It was real exciting. I said to myself, OK, if I score a touchdown in the fourth quarter, I've got to do the Ickey Shuffle." -- RB Shaun Alexander
"I wish we could have pulled (out) a victory, but I probably made them all happy because I played well and we lost. So I've got to go beat them all up, whoever prayed that, because their prayers were answered." -- RB Shaun Alexander
"We had 462 yards on offense, we had the highest third-down conversion rate of our season and we were pretty good in the red zone. But we had the five turnovers and one was on the 25-yard line going in, another one on the 30 going in, and it cost us the football game." -- Mike Holmgren
"Give them credit. They took advantage of it and they won.'' -- Coach Mike Holmgren

Week 8:
Seattle 24 - Cincinnati 27
MOSES WAS THERE!! Click on the link to go to his game review!
What a heartbreaker! Once again it came down to the final seconds, only this time we didn't get the job done.
It was a great outing for the Mid West Sea Hawkers 2nd annual event however, and I'm pleased that they had such a good time despite the outcome of the game!
Congrats to former Seahawk Jon Kitna for a great performance on the other side of the ball. I still love ya, Jon!
We missed Chad Brown today, boy, did we miss Chad Brown. What went wrong with Darrell Jackson? I can understand dropped balls when there's a pressure situation or a poorly thrown pass but he was dropping passes that hit him in the hands. Definitely an off day but I have faith that it's a one-time thing. He'll be back next week to make amends!
NUTS!!!

Spirited game and Cincinnati played well and beat us. We're 1-2 on the road, and we have to figure out how to meet that challenge. St. Louis' win now ties them for first place. It's gonna be a thrilling
ride all the way to the finish line.
GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!
MOSES PREDICTS GAME SEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by MOSES on 10/23/2003, 8:20 am
HAIL TO THEE, O SEAHAWK FANS!!!!! IT IS I, MOSES, HERE TO PREDICT THE SEAHAWK/ bungal GAME!!!!!!
LAST WEEK: Keep the blood pressure medicine handy! WE ARE 5-1!!!!!!
This week, the Seahawks travel to Ohio to the Queen City….
( ring…..ring….. Freddie Mercury ??? Freddie Mercury ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)
Yes, the city of Cincinnati plays host to the NFC WEST DIVISION LEADING Seattle Seahawks (not to mention about 75 or so DIE HARD SEAHAWK FANS) …
This week is a bit of a homecoming for yours truly, who grew up just 25 miles west of Cincinnati in Southeastern Indiana. Oh, those hills… those gambling boats…. THAT SKYLINE CHILI!!!!
This is also a homecoming to former Boone County standout Shaun Alexander who grew up about 20 miles SOUTH of Cincinnati….
BUT… I digress..
Enough reminiscing… we have a game to talk about !
The Bengals come into this showdown winners of two out of their last three and having lost their last two games in overtime. This seems to be a Bengal team of different stripes…
BUT……..
Before you get TOO worried, it should be noted that these Bengals are holding onto a tradition that has them mired in mediocrity…boasting the 31st best run defense in the NFL and the 31st best run offense…
Which puts the Bengal offense squarely on the shoulders of…. FORMER SEAHAWK Jon Kitna, who would like nothing more than pay back the team that let him go!
Kitna has seemed to responded to the pressure of the lack of a running game and #1 overall pick Carson Palmer by throwing for 9 TD’s and over 221 yards a game…
Besides, I am still not sure that Kitna has much to worry about playing in front of a #1 overall draft pick…
( ring…..ring…..Ryan Leaf ??? Ryan Leaf ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)
The Bengals have put together a remarkable record of consistency since their last playoff appearance in 1990. This franchise has posted stats that would make MADONNA blush…
( ring…..ring…..Britney Spears ??? Britney Spears ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)
Here are those rather incredible stats:
Since 1990, the Bengals have compiled a 55-137 record over a 12 year span that saw them lose 10 games or more EIGHT TIMES and NEVER have a season better than 8-8, a feat they only accomplished ONCE (in 1996). What in the name of John McKay is going on over there???
This comes out to averaging 4 ½ wins and 11 ½ losses A YEAR for a 12 year stretch…
This is a paultry .286 overall winning percentage…
This is perhaps the most amazing stretch of NFL inadequacy in the history of professional football…maybe in ALL OF SPORTS!!!
( ring…..ring…..LA Clippers ??? LA Clippers ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)
How does this happen in the world of parity and free agency that is the NATIONAL…FOOTBALL…LEAGUE…? Well, I am glad you asked. I would like to offer my own theory on Bengal Bungalry for you to discuss amongst yourselves.. Just don’t get TOO VERKLEMPF!!
( ring…..ring…..Linda Richman ??? Linda Richman ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)
So, here from our office in Cincinnati, Ohio comes……….. (drum roll)….
“THE TOP THREE EXCUSES WHY THE CINCINNATI BENGALS HAVE BEEN SO BAD FOR SO LONG”
3. Free “all you can eat” Skyline Chili causes too many sudden trips back into the locker room during the games.
2. “DON Shula… DAVE Shula… what’s the difference? A Shula is a Shula, right?”
1. Helmet stripes may cause brain dysfunction.
BUT……..
REMEMBER… Even the TAMEST of tigers can come back and attack…
( ring…..ring…..Siegfried and Roy ??? Siegfried and Roy ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)
THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR the bungals:
1. JON KITNA: Wants to show Seattle it was a mistake to let him go.
2. COREY DILLON: Former Husky wants to show Seattle that he is STILL the man.
3. CHAD JOHNSON: Maybe the best kept secret at wide receiver in the NFL.
THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR THE SEAHAWKS:
1. SHAUN ALEXANDER: Welcome home, Shaun! Show the hometown what you have learned since you have been away!
2. MARCUS TRUFANT: Will be put to the challenge this week.
3. RANDALL GODFREY: Wants to be sure that Dillon is ILLIN’…
SO, CAN THEY DO IT?????
MOSES PREDICTS:
SEAHAWKS 31
Cincinnasty bungals 16
SO LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE!!!!!
MOSES
HEY MOSES!!! WHAT'S FOR DINNER FOR GAME SEVEN??????
Posted by MOSES on 10/23/2003, 8:21 am
This Sunday during the SEAHAWK/ game, I encourage all Seahawk fans to eat the following:
- FROSTED FLAKES ( they’re G-r-r-r-r-reat!!!!)
- SKYLINE CHILI
- Paul HASH BROWNS
- Chad JOHNSON – ville BRATS
- Chili Jeff BURRIS-ITOS
- Shayne GRAHAM CRACKERS
- Corey DILLON PICKLES
- Jon KITNA KATS
And wash it down with some JUNGLE JUICE or some Khalid Abdullah KAHLUA!!!
Of course, you could always just go to (Kevin) HARDY’S, but your LEVI (Jones) JEANS may wind up getting TORY (James)…..
ENJOY!!!!
Now it's your turn! Send me your thoughts on the game and I'll post them right here!
