Don't you think Holmgren HAD to know that JS wasn't ready for this? Stevens has been inconsistent (at the very best) his entire career, including this year -- and including the playoffs. So why put so much on his shoulders? Or did they get sucked in by the Porter gambit?
I can't answer that. IF he wasn't ready, why would he be out there. He had to use his weapons to take the focus off of Alexander. Has JS caught those balls, Alexander would've gone for 125 in the game. Hbeck tried to go to everyone and he used his own legs on occasion with effectiveness. Hasselbeck was ready for prime time in my opinion. Couple of bad tosses, but that can be expected against that defense and during the big one. Seattle made Pittsburgh's defense look average....soemthing high powered Indy, Denver and Cinci could not do. Great game by Seattle,...ball did not bounce there way.
