Even an extraordinary head coach like Mike Holmgren, considered one of the league's premier offensive play callers, can’t create an effective game plan if he doesn’t know what part of his offense will be working from one week to the next. For a man that prides himself on building teams that excel at offensive execution, this situation with the offense has to be disheartening and frustrating.
Even with this loss and the dismal start to Mike Holmgren’s last season, the Seahawks will do the only thing they can do—pick themselves up off the ground, clean up the wounds as best they can, and try again.
It’s a long season and there are 12 more games to be played. As much as the loss to the Giants hurts both their record and pride, it is no great shame to lose to a team the caliber of New York on their home field.
New York took a similar beating from the Dallas Cowboys to open the 2007 season before they turned it around. They turned it around by gutting it out.
That’s all you can do in a brutal 16-game NFL season. With the Green Bay Packers coming to town—another desperate team hanging onto playoff hopes—Seattle will need to bring more intensity next Sunday to match the desperation of the Packers.
The Seahawks can still win the division, so hope shouldn't be lost.
Seattle is only a game and a half out of first place with two games to play against the division leading Arizona Cardinals. If the Seahawks manage to turn their season around, they are going to have to catch their breath, swallow their hurt pride, get back to the game table, and find a way to come out next week and get a win.
That means they are going to have to toughen up where it counts—with guts.
Because football is all about guts. No guts, no glory.
