Preseason football doesn’t really matter.
At least that’s what we tell ourselves when the Seattle Seahawks lose. Frankly, I wasn’t sure if the team actually bothered to show up for most of the game against the Green Bay Packers until the “Cody White drive,” where he caught a TD pass from Jalen Milroe to make the score 20-7.
There were more chances for Seattle, but they were allergic to the football today. It happens.
We weren’t expecting to see any starters for the Seahawks, so that wasn’t a surprise. In fact, many of the players on both sides of the ball were far down the depth chart and likely won’t make this team. Don’t tell that to the Packers, who had many of their starters on the field to begin the game. That’s not an excuse for the putrid showing by Seattle since they couldn’t make up the difference later in the game against Green Bay’s backups. Hopefully they got some good work in during that joint practice, because today’s game was ugly!
That was a crappy game, no two ways about it. The good thing? Preseason is over! It looks as if Seattle came out of it without any major injuries, which is really the most important thing. Next up are the roster cuts. Remember that the initial 53-man roster will almost assuredly not be the final 53-man roster, as the Seahawks may be active in waiver claims. Also, don’t rule out a classic John Schneider cutdown day trade.
