NFL Thursday Night Football pits Seahawks VS 49ers

It seems the Seattle Seahawks, all of a sudden, are losing the form they once had after dealing Jay Cutler his first loss as a starter.

Yep, coming off a game where the Seahawks finally had their two stars (Shaun Alexander and Matt Hasselbeck) back into last season's form, leading the team to a win over the tough Denver Broncos defense, they got shocked and humiliated by the official league doormats, the Arizona Cardinals, 27-21, last Sunday.

This was an NFL Football game where the Seattle Seahawks were almost sure of a win. Everything was in place for a much needed W. The only problem was, Arizona Cardinals QB Matt Leinart was not in a very cooperative mood and the Hawks were dealt with the shocking loss.

Or rather, the Hawks handed themselves the shocking loss.

Yep, it was the Seahawks' fault why they lose this very winnable football game. The Seahawks hurt themselves with turnovers and their worst start to a game this season. Still, Seattle had one last chance to win. These Cardinals have been the kings of collapse in NFL Football, after all. They had lost three games in the final three minutes this season and lost leads of 14-0 and 17-7 to the Seahawks on Sunday.

On the other hand, the Seahawks have established themselves as the kings of late-game heroics this NFL Football season, with four last-minute wins. They were in position to win late again, but this time, their comeback fizzled.

Seattle Seahawks wideout Deion Branch caught an 18-yard pass at the Arizona 7-yard line on fourth-and-20 with less than a minute to play. Branch tried to reach for the first down, but the ball was spotted short. There was a measurement and a review of the spot. It was upheld, and the Cardinals only had to run out the clock to win.

Ouch.

On NFL Thursday Night Football, the San Francisco 49ers will visit the Seahawks in Seattle as they try to catch Shaun Alexander and the rest of the Hawks sleeping. These Niners are coming to this game agitated after watching Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers kick their asses again. Seattle should be careful come Thursday night.
