For the second year in a row, week 17 of the NFL season is a goodbye rather than a see-ya-soon. The Hawks are nowhere near the playoffs and are rather pretty close to the top of the draft again. (In case you're unaware, our current slotted pick is #7, which could move up to #5 or 6 with wins by Washington and/or Cleveland.) A couple thoughts this morning, none of which relating to Houshmandzadeh:
- With the Broncos sitting Brandon Marshall and almost certainly Eddie Royal and Tony Scheffler, they stand a better chance of losing to the very bad Kansas City Chiefs. A loss almost automatically drops them out of contention for the playoffs, which is huge. If they get into the playoffs, that pick could be anywhere from #21 to #32. If they don't, it's in the 17-20 range most likely. If all the cards aligned just right (wins by SF, Jax, Tennessee, Carolina, Miami, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Houston and a Denver loss) they could slip as low as 11-14.
- A win today would only alter the draft pick slightly for the Seahawks -- a drop from 7th to 10th at most. If you're rooting against the Seahawks hoping for a better draft pick, you're silly. The 4th Pick in the 2009 draft was supposed to be the best linebacker in 10 years (and may end up being so), but the LB taken #15 is going to be the Defensive Rookie of the Year (Cushing). Where your picking determines how much hype the guy you're picking has, not necessarily if he's the best player ever. Percy Harvin > DHB is another example.
- Tomorrow is Black Monday. Will we hear that Jim Mora has been fired? Will we hear that his coaching staff has been fired, but he is being retained? Will we get to see Greg Knapp weep? These and many more are just about 30 hours away from resolution. I honestly wouldn't expect much to happen tomorrow, since there is no GM in place, but I suppose it's possible to say "Look, we get it, and we need to go another direction." We'll see.
- NFL Redzone is just phenomenal, especially when your team stinks. Channel 410 or HD is 637 on Comcast. It's a real treat, and I'll miss it over the next 35 weeks.
- The Seahawks have made it explicitly clear that their goal this week is to stop Chris Johnson. I think they can do it. I expect him to break the Yards-from-Scrimmage record, and probably hit 2,000. I don't expect him to run hog wild and break the all-time rushing record though. Imagine if the team could re-do those first six weeks though...
- I think there is actually a very good chance that the Seahawks win today. These guys are all auditioning for their next job at this point, Matt Hasselbeck can't possibly has a third straight awful outing, the run game has been getting started well lately, and all it really takes is a couple of scores to beat the Titans usually. I'm not betting money on it, but I think there is more in our favor than not. However, a loss shows precisely how embarrassing this team is after a week of hype and promises to play for the 12th Man and such.
- The 12th Man Flag will be raised by Ken Griffey, Jr. today. That's flippin awesome.

verdict out on curry

I don't want to say Curry is a bust just yet, but his linebacker classmates have out performed him up to this point. I would love to wake up tomorrow and see Mora fired, but that is wishful thinking. My prediction is that the Titans give Johnson the ball every play, but he comes up a couple yards short on the Dickerson record.

Totally agree Justincredible. Way, way too soon to call any verdict on any of the 2009 rookies, even the Rookies of the Year. Last year people started rooting for the Hawks to lose at the end of the year to get a better draft pick, but then suddenly everyone we wanted to take was a "stretch."

I think Curry will learn a lot in the off season and become a beast. To compare it to NBA, the year Lebron james came into the league he was so hyped and he even had humongous endorsement deals.
That year another draft pick outshined everyone. Carmelo Anthony, evryone considered Lebron as an OK player but not even in the same group as Carmelo. We'll know how good he is in the next few seasons, I just hope all this losing and bad coaching won't ruin him.

So the team can happily continue catching up with the rest of the NFL in learning Knapp's offense.

I don't believe Curry fell to us in last seasons draft, the other teams ahead of us passed on him because they knew better. He came out of Wake Forest which is a red flag to begin with. If we weren't the fools who took him he might have dropped like a rock.

Mirer had a great rookie season, as I recall...Curry will be truly great as long as he can get coached up properly, and has a decent supporting cast. The big IF of the offseason.
Thank you 5% for the moment of clarity that provided me with the best laugh of the season.

Maybe the coaching staff will unveil that "West Coast Defense" today that we heard so much about. I guess it is supposed to be agressive and attacking.

curry said himself he was overpursuing guys trying the make the "big hit". He wasn't playing the basics he wanted to make an impression. Next year we'll have a top 3 linebacker core. second to the packers. QB, LT, RB, DB. In that order. We can find talent late at RB. But rookie RB is where its at lately. Partner him up with forset.

The Redskins will likely fire Zorn tomorrow. He obviously wasn't up to being a head coach. I think he'd make a great offensive coordinator. Bring him back to Seattle and let Matt get back into his comfort zone...with the addition of a a couple linemen and Mr. Spiller.

God, I hope that was Hasselbecks last passing attempt in a Seahawk uniform! USAFANARC he doesn't have a comfort zone, he sucks! Please Holmgrem trade us a 3rd rounder for this garbage QB you brought to Seattle. I am tired of watching his inability to play QB!!!
