Seahawks nursing some wounds after Sunday night loss

The Seahawks left Sunday night’s loss to the Cardinals with wounded pride, and without key contributors on either side of the ball.

According to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin left with an MCL sprain, and wide receiver Paul Richardson a hamstring. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll seemed concerned about both pending further word from the doctors.

“Pending was the word that they put on it, and we’ll figure out what that means,” he said. “That means that we don’t know yet. But they legitimately have a hamstring, they legitimately have a knee.”

Richardson was playing his first game after coming back from last year’s ACL tear, and only played six snaps. They only had five receivers available last week, so if he’s missing time they might need to make a roster move.

Irvin was injured in the fourth quarter, and replaced by Mike Morgan, cutting into a position that wasn’t deep either.

  1. Not really a big concern. We’re only playing the 49ers. Unless they assign the same refs from last Sunday we’ll win by 2 touchdowns.

  2. Here we go same that happen Niners not long ago is about to happen with Seattle. People take a little bit from your team every year and if you don’t capatalize on SuperBowls when you have your opportunities it’s all over. Seahawks fall is right be forth our eyes. They won’t catch Cardinals for Division Title and currently Green Bay and New York are currently Wild Cards. Seahawks are tied with Rams on the outside looking in and lost to them, also have lost to Packers this season. They’re in bad shape unless they magically get great and dominate their schedule from here on out which I don’t see them doing.

    yea sure is different when the refs hold you guys accountable for holding……..not the same team I know it s a shock when you have to play by the rules.

    What an asinine comment,holding us to the rules is one thing,but when you don’t make the same calls on both sides of the ball that is just plain WRONG !! And what about the face mask against our guy that wasn’t really a face mask ?? What about all the holding calls on us that were not called on the Cardinals ?? What about the fumble that we recovered,when the Cardinals player caught the ball,had possession,and made a football move – Yet they called it a incomplete pass ??

  5. It looks like trading Unger away for Graham wasn’t such a great idea after all. Don’t these GM’s ever huddle with the coaches before they make such a big move?

    Anyway now SF has company..Seattle. They are both trying to climb out of the cellar. I think Seattle can still do it. I don’t think SF can. What a difference a year makes.

  6. What about the phantom defensive holding on Patrick Peterson? The officials had a rough night for both teams, but since the Hawks lost, their fans whine about being jobbed.

  7. Notice to Seahawk fan: Wilson is not good enough to pass this team to a win, Sherman and co. are being exploited, depth has been stripped by other teams, cap decisions are looming, the Oline is a seive and beast mode is out of gas.
    Window closed.

  8. The OL is like swiss cheese but people still blame Wilson. You know…there is a similarity here between he and Krapernick. They both have to work behind suspect OL’s and they are both taking a lot of heat when the team loses. But I would still take Wilson over Kap and I am a 49er fan.

  9. We have some mending to do but more importantly, we have some soul-searching to do. It is extremely unlikely we make the playoffs now. So let’s use it as a time when we get back to our roots–running first, passing second. Lynch had 8 carries. Really?

    And it would not be a bad time to look at getting rid of Bevell and Cable. Bevell can’t call a game and Cable can’t assess offensive line talent.

  10. I shouldn’t be surprised by the comments on this website. The vitriol rises up to the eyeballs here. But, still, I am astounded how many people are willing to bypass fair play calling in favor of hatred for the Seahawks.

    There is holding on basically every down in football. I get that. But the Cardinals got away with some of the most egregious holds I’ve ever seen. Twice in 4th quarter I saw the Cards center actually Bear-Hugging and pulling the defender away.

    And that “incomplete pass” was utter nonsense. The guy caught the ball, secured it, turned to run (a football move), then the ball was pulled out by the defender with a clear Seahawks recovery. Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels on the air blathering about not knowing what a catch is anymore was almost as bad as the call that came in from New York. And I don’t think the booth review could have taken any longer if they had walked a piece of paper down from the media level all the way to the ref on the field.

    And anyone that think “Seattle is getting what they deserve” is nuts. Would you want that for your team?? The REFS made the call about the illegal bat out of the back of the endzone in the Lions game. If the Refs hand YOUR team a win because of the Refs own incompetence, then does YOUR team deserve to have a fair game taken away?? No!

    The referees this year have actually done a worse job than the replacement refs. Most of these calls have actually been WORSE than the fail Mary call.

    What about the Lions? Were you upset when the refs took a “fair game away” from them and gave it to Seattle earlier this season?

  12. If this was 2014, Seattle would have won. The refs have a lot to talk about when the season ends…..never seen so many penalties…some deserved and others not. Maybe the GM of Seattle and the GM of SF can get together and drown their sorrows over a couple of stiff drinks..

  13. Seattle Fans: “If the refs hadn’t called anything on us, but kept their bad calls on the Cardinals the same, we would have won. It’s not fair!”

  14. Per ESPN, Seahawks opponents have been flagged 59 times( fewest in nfl). Referee Clete Blakeman refereed 85 games and his crew never called more than Sunday night. Let that sink in.

  15. “…we don’t know yet. But they legitimately have a hamstring, they legitimately have a knee.”

    Unlike other teams who state their players are fine, until they’re suddenly not fine at the last minute…

    No. I wasn’t as clear as I should have been in my comment. I was upset that the REFS gave Seattle the call against the Lions. It was the same thing as the call for the Fail Mary. I DO NOT want stupid refs making calls that go in favor of the Seahawks. Because after the REFS give my team a game, everyone hates the Seahawks and their fans. As if we had anything to do with it. Any fan should want a fair game. Any fan should want the refs to call the game based on a clear knowledge of the rules. When the REFS get the call wrong, the REFS do get blamed, but the team gets blamed too. But the way the rules are set up, there is no recourse for a “gifted game”, so teams and fans alike have no choice but accept the refs rulings and move “on to Cincinatti” or whatever.

    As a fan of football, and NOT a bandwaggoner, I just want a fair game called. I’ve been a Seahawks fan through thick and thin. I know what losing seasons feel like. I’m happy with losing seasons if the refs call the games within the rules. And that means BOTH teams are held to the same standard. I can easily and happily admit that the Seahawks have been gifted games. But, likewise, other fans should have been able to see the bad calls that went against both sides in the Cards/Hawks game. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter. The Seahawks lost when they went for two twice and made neither. Those two extra points left on the field would have changed the decision making late in the fourth. So, I’m not complaining about that. I’m upset with the lousy REFS.

  17. game was about as RIGGED as they get, sad really, I wont be following the NFL, national FAKE league anymore,

    even the media is in on it, they don’t go back to try and chase the phantom holds they just have their LAME commentators change the subject

    you guys can have it, been there dunnit, i’ll try to save as much of my integrity as possible thanks

    and the cardinals game a week ago? OMG that was the biggest SHAM on the planet, how these people wake up in the morning and not walk off a cliff is beyond me..

    wow talk about moraless scum

  18. I hate to see them miss the playoffs, but maybe it is best for them to have a longer off season to heal and regroup for next season.

  19. Wilson is pretty good, but I think we are starting see his limitations. He was a great addition to the team when he was a bargain player, now he’s too expensive. He can succeed with a great running game and a great defense, but not when his passing has to win the game. They need to just start running the ball. Bench Graham and put in TEs who can block.

  20. I agree the ref calls were really bad during last Sunday’s Prime Time Football game, and really, for many other football games I’ve watched this year other than Seahawk games.

    The NFL makes a bloody fortune marketing these games. You would think they would be able to get the calls right per review. They have NFL experts looking at the instant replays, and they still can’t get the calls right. And to top it off, just to show how bad these NFL expert refs are, the TV commentators will ask their own expert refs for their opinion on the call in question, to see how they saw the play, and more often than not, their calls are correct but the official NFL expert team calls it wrong.

    And when the ball is snapped, there is holding on every play in the trench on both sides of the ball, and between the receivers and defenders as they are running down the field. So, some of these games appear to be rigged against one team, with most of the holding calls going one way.

  21. JUST WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. Everyone is down on the Seahawks but they’re peaking late like last year.

    JUST WATCH: AZ is going to drop 5 of their remaining games and finish 9-7. NONE OF THE TEAMS that AZ has beat this year has a record over .500, and they’re going to lose to Cincinnati, Minnesota, St. Louis, Green Bay, and Seattle to finish the season. The Seahawks will lose one more game this year at most and finish 11-5 or 10-6 to win the division: THEN IT’S A WHOLE NEW SEASON in the playoffs.

    Then we’ll see the Seahawks, after facing much adversity, are much tougher than the rest of the teams in the NFL….and they’ll win another Super Bowl.

    Doubt it if you wish, but that’s what is going to happen.
