This kind of schedule favors the home team by quite a bit. The only home team that lost, the Panther to the New York Giants which is no surprise.
The Seahawks played a good game but the fatigue really showed in this game. After playing a brutal, late afternoon, down-to-the-last-minute game against the New England Patriots, our team had 3 days to rest and prepare for an away game against one of the best defenses in the NFL. And we still gave them hell.
If it weren't for a couple of uncharacteristic Golden Tate (among others) drops, we could have won this game. But fatigue, travel and sleeping in a strange place only heightens the opportunity for error and throws off timing between a QB and his receivers.
I think the odd schedule threw Russell's game off too as being a rookie, his body is not used to this kind of schedule.
We could see it setting in on the defense too as Gore was able to pick up yards late in the 2nd half.
This was a really frustrating game to lose because we could see that our team was playing better than their team throughout most of the game. However, I think we have knocked San Francisco down off of their pedestal and they will be very beatable when they come to Seattle. The Seahawks played strong throughout a very tough game and have nothing to be ashamed about. Once the emotions of the game settle down, I think everyone will realize that this was a good game and another stepping stone to becoming the NFCW champions and getting back to the playoffs.
