“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

More Seattle Seahawks news coming at ya on “Sports Inner City TV” webcast that will include “In The Locker Room” of the Seattle Seahawks and more!

First of all I am happy as hell because FOOTBALL IS BACK!! And since I was not packing my stuff to head to Century Link to cover the game, I was parked in front of my big screen starting in the early morning on Sunday to get ready for the 10am games on NFL Red Zone.

Who ever thought of the NFL Red Zone, thanks for doing this for us football fans because the Red Zone is off the chain!! Going from one game to another game. And there was some great games on the 1st Sunday of the season. And one of the great games was here in Seattle.

The Seahawks hosted the Miami Dolphins at Century Link Field which is only 5 minutes from my apartment.

This was a tough game for the Seahawks. We already knew that the O line was a huge question mark. And we saw that question mark during the game. For the first 11 times Seattle had the ball, they punted six times. They also had a few turnovers. The Hawks ended up with only a few field goals. Seahawks fans for sure are not used to seeing their team score so little. We are used to seeing Russell Wilson running all over the field and throwing touchdowns and our running game racking up the yards game after game. But not this game.

A big scare happened in the 3rd quarter to QB Russell Wilson when he was sacked by Portland, Oregon’s own Ndamukong Suh. He suffered an ankle injury. After that injury he did not look to good. But he hung in their even though he was moving very lightly. It will be interesting to see if this injury will hang around for awhile.

Anyway in the 4th, and the Seahawks behind by 4 points, Wilson led the team on a 14 play, 75 yard drive. And the drive ended in a short 2 yard td pass to Doug Baldwin. Folks Baldwin is really turning into a really good player who has national press saying some very good things about him. That is great for Doug.

Hawks won 12-10 but of course this was not a easy win. And now it is on to next game on the road in Los Angeles and first home game for a NFL team on L.A. in two decades.This will not be a easy game.

Russell Wilson was 27-43 for 258 yards and one td and one int. Christine Michael was 15 for 66 yards and Thomas Rawls was12 for 32 yards. Doug Baldwin caught nine passes for 92 yards. And Jermaine Kearse caught five passes for 57 yards. KJ Wright led the Seahawks with 11 tackles. with three solo tackles. He played a great game as did Jeremy Lane who was all over the field.

So now it is back to practice to get ready for the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams always play the Seahawks very tough when they were the St. Louis Rams. By the way how do you think the fans in St. Louis will feel watching the Rams first regular season game in L.A? Of course we know the feeling because our Seattle Sonics left here for the dust town Oklahoma City in 2008. I will report on that next week.
