At mid season, most fans were blaming Tim Ruskell for this lost Seahawks' season. Well, he’s gone now and the Hawks have only gotten worse, so now those No. 1 fan fingers are pointing directly at coach Jim Mora. And Mora’s foam finger should be pointing at his offensive ...Published on: 28th December, 2009
Don’t blame Matt Hasselbeck for trying too hard. Yeah, he’s thrown eight interceptions in the past two games – both embarrassing losses because of opponent (Tampa Bay) or deficit (38 points to Green Bay). And yes, Hasselbeck’s turnovers (nine total, counting a fumble against the Bucs) are a major reason the ...Published on: 21st December, 2009
There was more drama before and after the Seahawks’ embarrassing loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday than there was during the game.

Well, there you have it, Seahawks fans: your 2008-09 scapegoat. Tim Ruskell is gone. And Jim Mora is officially on the hot seat for 2010. CEO Tod Leiweke told reporters that Mora will be back next year. But, if Ruskell’s departure confirms one thing, it’s that Mora has to win or he’s ...Published on: 27th November, 2009
The ongoing scuttlebutt about Mike Holmgren possibly returning to Seattle in some Grand Poobah role sure seems like crazy talk. The Seahawks have already determined their course, and it involves Jim Mora leading this team for at least the next year. It’s almost impossible to envision them altering course so drastically ...Published on: 13th November, 2009
