Wheels falling off for the Seahawks
October 30th, 2009 by nwsportsguyDays after placing offensive tackle and to be Hall of Famer Walter Jones on injured reserve, the Seahawks announced Thursday that linebacker Lofa Tatupu is out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. There were hopes that he would be able to rehab the injury, however the decision has been made for Lofa to have surgery.
Second-year linebacker David Hawthorne will step up to fill the void this week versus the Cowboys. One thing we’ve learned this year is that replacements typically don’t do the job. Oh, wait. We ‘learned’ that last year as well.
Prediction:
The Cowboys are favored by 9.5 points, which at first seems a bit high. When you look at our recent performances, however, its hard to argue against it. Given our injury situation and the fact that Romo/Miles Austin has been on fire as of late, I’m predicting Cowboys 27, Seahawks 17.
Now, I’ll get back to a team that is actually fun to watch, the Sounders. More to come shortly.
