The Seahawks are Over the Hill and They Don't Even Know It

PrintI was doing my daily Mike Sando reading and ran across this radio interview with T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Nate Burleson and Deion Branch (check out a link to the audio and transcript here). It's amazing to hear these guys talk about how their a "good" team but they're just not playing good. This is a 5-10 football team that's been outscored by 82 points over the past three weeks, although to their credit they've managed to win one more game than last year's 4-12 squad.
Branch blasts off on just about everyone and points out that he has two Super Bowl rings and no one on the team, including no one on the coaching staff, can say that......
"I'm fixing to give it to you raw and uncut. Hey, I've been a part of two Super Bowls. Nobody on this football team has been a part of it, period. No coach. Nobody. I have. I've won two of them. The bottom line is are we winning? No. Do we have a good team, yes? To Hugh Millen and Ian Furness. We have a good football team. Are we talented? Yes. Are we playing good? No. We're not playing good football, no we're not. We're not executing plays."
Now calling out your own coaching staff normally isn't a good idea but this trio is also quick to point out that Matt Hasselbeck doesn't get enough criticism for the team's struggles. Housh is also boasting that no one can cover his man-to-man.
This is too often what happens when a highly successful team starts to get old but they still see themselves as premier players. This is no longer the team that won the West five years in a row, this is a team that lost double digit games for two years in a row. And the worst part is that the core of this team has no idea how far they've fallen. I'm tellling you this team hasn't hit rock bottom yet and we've got a front row seat to this theatre of mass destruction. I'm loving it.

Keep living in the past
Branch, maybe it will bring you some comfort that you and your fellow WR’s are some of the most overrated in the league and have been for awhile.
Not so easy when you don’t get to ride Brady’s coattails, is it?
What exactly has Branch done since he came to Seattle?
Nothing. What a joke of a receiver. The Seahawks need a lot of work and right now it starts at quarterback.
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

The Seahawk siutuation
What the Seahawks have over there is a bunche of mercenaries. Burleson, Branch and Houshmandzadeh have no allegiance to the Seahawks organizationally. They are not home grown and have played with very little passion or fire down the stretch as a group. Hassleback is cooked, washed-up and they have nothing behind him long-term. The wrong player (Julius Jones) is the featured RB (should be Forsett) and the HC is a players coach that allows the inmates to run the asylum. He is not a great manager of men.
As Cardinals fans we should hope that Mora has a long tenure in the great Northwest. Two gauranteed wins every year. Man oh man do they have issue over there. They’ll be a lot of sleepness nights in Seattle this off-season for Mora and his coaching staff.
Bezekira you are spot on.
in all honesty
what’s Branch supposed to say? “The problem is us players. We’re overpaid and sucky. we should all be released.”
“Also I’m a wuss who is injured 10 games a year.”
