Seattle Seahawks' Opener in Buffalo Proves an Awful Study in Ine Many Seattle fans grew physically ill watching the Seahawks NFL opener against the Buffalo Bills on the East Coast, and I was one of them. This was no way to start Mike Holmgren's final season in Seattle. Holmgren deserved better. The Bills won 34-10 while controlling both sides of the line, watching Seattle's running game flounder like a wounded duck, watching the Seahawks' depleted receiving corps drop pass after pass, and watching Seattle's special teams unit miss tackles and give up 24 points. It was a study in ineptitude. John Donne is his Meditation XVII said "no man is an island" but Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck must have felt like he was on an island isolated without pass protection as he was knocked down more times than 10 pins at a bowling alley. There was little pass protection and, when there was, receivers dropped balls like little leaguers at play. To add injury to insult, Seattle lost its only healthy, competent wide receiver as Nate Burleson suffered a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in his knee and will be lost for the season. Both veteran starters Bobby Engram and Deion Branch are injured and have not played yet this season.News for Sunday 24 January, 2010
