Hawks Lay Egg in S.D. 18-17

The Seattle Seahawks lost 18-17 tonight to the San Diego Chargers in their third game of the pre-season. The Hawks started fast with Charlie Frye connecting with Nate Burleson for a 68-yard TD pass, giving them an early 7-0 lead. The Hawks led late into the fourth quarter, when former Husky DB Omare Lowe was flagged for interference on a questionable call in the end zone, putting the ball on the one-yard line. The Chargers went into the end zone three plays later and then made the two-point conversion to take the lead for good. QB Charlie Frye left the game after a late hit in the fourth quarter. T.J. Duckett had a solid game at RB, while Justin Forsett struggled in the race for the final roster spot at that position.

I listened to the first half on the radio and the second on television. If I had to listen to the ESPN announcer lick Frye's balls one more time, my friend was going to be forced to buy a new television.

And that was the most pitiful end to a game ever. Luckily, it was our 3rd string against their 1st.
