Football. Huskies Shed Last Week, Focus on Rare USC Return

Sarkisian and UW try to win at USC on Saturday for 2nd time in 2 seasons. That hasn't happened since 1934 and '35. To do it, the Dawgs must play better on offensive - and along offensive line.

Clink Gets High Marks In Stadium Review

As a member of the 12th Man, I tend to believe that Seattle is one of the best places to watch an NFL game. We have the loudest fans, a great outdoor setting, great facilities, everything that you could want except a winning team.

NFL Draft Update: Tight Ends

This class of Tight Ends lacks the top end talent, but make up for it with plenty of value in middle rounds. You wont find a Vernon David or Zach Miller in the draft this year, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of players who can do a lot to contribute on a good team.

Cowboys beat Seahawks 23-13

Another week, and another loss in a winnable game. The national medias take on this game was that Dallas was “too much” for the Seahawks, but I don’t buy it. These were surprisingly even teams. The only reason Dallas won was because Jackson threw 2 interceptions that were turned into 10 points. The Seahawks could have easily won this game.

These game notes are just my “gut reaction” to a game that I watches while very distracted by my family. I’ll watch the game again tonight on NFL rewind and my opinion might change drastically. I’m also clearly disappointed, so expect that to be reflected in my opinions of the game

Game Notes:

  • 10 more penalties. Seriously? Penalties are mostly about coaching and attention to detail. Carroll and company have to get their act together.
  • The “Tarvaris Jackson is the QB of the future” movement took a major step backwards this week. Jackson looked rattled at times, and clearly wasn’t seeing the field as well as he had in past games.  … [visit site to read more]
