    Didn't this asshole once score like 5 TDs in a game? For the life of me, I still don't understand how he was ever any good.

    Alexander bitched about losing the rushing title one year by a few yards after Hasselbeck ran a qb sneak for a TD, yet ran out of bounds every chance he could to avoid contact multiple times a game. I bet his OL loved him after that.

    Walter Jones.
    Steve Hutchinson.
    Great point. I am an idiot. Thanks for the reminder.

    That was actually spoken of as a positive as he was given a monster contact at 28 or whatever.

    I think that was 2004. They were playing the Falcons and trying to make the playoffs. He said Holmgren stabbed him in the back because he didn't give him enough chances. Idiot.

    Against the Houston texans. He scored every touch down in the end zone we were sitting in. Think it was like 45-3 or 0? I've never had respect for the texans since. That game is the only picture I have of them

    I rooted for the Seahawks back then, but I still hated Hasselback and Alexander. Two giant cornballs. Fuck Holmgren too. He's one of the worst GM's of all time.

    Back when I used to be a Bama fan, he was on the team. The kid was amazing in college. Didn't follow his pro career though.

    I hated almost everything about the Holmgren era:



    * Soft defenses EVERY year.

    * Ugliest uniforms in NFL history.

    * Shaun Alexander for many of the reasons already stated.

    * Whiny Matthew "We want the ball and we're gonna score" Hasselbeck, who has a woman's voice.

    * Dropped passes. And it wasn't just Stevens, it was multiple guys over multiple years who couldn't hang on. Stevens is only more well known because of the Super Bowl.

    * Mike Holmgren not giving a shit anymore because he was going to take a sabbatical, resulting in a 4-12 record in 2008. And if you said anything critical about Holmgren that year, it was considered blasphemy because it was just one bad year, but then the very next year Jim Mora goes 4-12 in his FIRST year coaching the team, and is not only promptly fired, but becomes widely regarded as the worst head coach in Seahawks history.

    * Front office letting Hutchinson escape, signing Shaun Alexander to a huge contract, and various other blunders.

    "It was a little bit different because I was not used to – I guess no one is – no one's used to winning not being the goal. "

    Wow. He sure fooled me. . ..

    Anyone who ever rooted for a team with Matt Hasselbeck on it should burn in hell.

    I take smug solace in my disbelief.

    It beat the Erickson and Flores eras. Zero winning seasons in those eight years.

    Comes across as an even bigger vag than I remember. Yeah, I knew about the whole Tyrone thing.

    But something's just off about this guy. He's like a passive-aggressive arrogant. Basically claiming he changed the Seahawk culture and takes credit for all that shit. Yet in the same breath say he's not bragging. Shut the fuck up. What a whiny bitch.
