Seahawks vs. Cardinals Week 16

I actually meant to create this blog earlier in the season but never really got around to it....oh well, I still have one more week of the regular season and then the post season to figure out how to write halfway decent recaps. Moving on now though...last night's game was a thriller if you're a Seahawks fan and not so much if you're a Cardinals fan. The final score of the game was 35-6 Seahawks (would have been 44-6 if not for those three missed field goals but who cares). Let's take a look back on the game at University of Phoenix Stadium.

1. Russell Wilson rushes for 55 yards.

           This guy is probably one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now. He stays calm under pressure, and because of that he can make big plays on third and fourth down. The Cardinals defense looked ridiculous trying to stop Wilson yesterday.

2. Steven Hauschka misses first field goal.

           I was a little surprised to see him miss a field goal since I've never seen him miss before. This kick was long enough, but also wide to the right. It was a little long though-52 yards-and from what I hear he's not a big distance kicker.

3. Wilson to Willson for a touchdown

            When I heard that the Seahawks wouldn't be getting their starting tight end Zach Miller back for the season because of an ankle injury, I immediately thought "Okay then, hopefully Luke Willson can make some good plays." I hadn't really watched Willson play much until yesterday....well, I was impressed with what I saw. For a backup tight end, that guy can sure make great moves. Maybe he'll end up being the starting tight end someday...

4. Hauschka misses second field goal

             Okay, okay. This one was a little closer, but still a pretty long shot. I'll let him get away with this one.

5. Marshawn Lynch runs for 79 yard TD

              Still worried about that back? Well, worry no more Seahawks fans! Marshawn Lynch ran for a 79-yard career high touchdown, complete with the "hold my d***" move at the end. What did you expect, though? They don't call him Beast Mode for nothing.

6. Hauschka misses third field goal

              This one shocked me...I understand if it's from 50+ yards...but a 47-yard attempt? I've seen him make field goals easily from that distance before. Oh well, everyone has off days. It's all part of the game...rest assured he will be back to his old self next week against the Rams!

7. Richard Sherman picks off Ryan Lindley

              And that, my friends, is why you don't talk about Richard Sherman. To be fair, the Cardinals were on their third-string quarterback, but the way he was playing you'd have to wonder why anyone would even draft this guy. Ahem...sorry Cardinals fans, but you know it's true...

8. Russell Wilson rushes for TD

              Those Cardinals defensive linemen have to be seething right now....they had several guys with a chance to make a play on Wilson before he got that touchdown. LMAO, it just goes to show that you can't stop him once he gets going. This touchdown all but finished the Cardinals, as it was the final score of the night.
