should have started ronald curry or greg carter...gotta love the NFL. 16 passes and not a single catch by your #1.

 

LOL...If they guy could have caught like 3 passes....NO....now I have Julius Jones going against Frank Gore and I am only up 5 points. Looks like I will lose this week!

Seriously, was Branch playing most downs and they just didn't look his way at all?

I didn't get the game but I heard Hasselback wasn't even looking his way. He was thrown at 3 or so times but the D was playing very, very tight on him.

 

Can anyone clarify? Was it Matt? Dion? The D?

He hardley got any looks... when Hasselbeck threw, it was to Burleson and to Engram. He even threw to the FB Mack Strong a few times. Alexander got the ball his way a few times. One of the TD passes was to Mo Morris, the back up RB to ALexander. Morris lined up as a wideout on that play!!!

I was at the game. As some of you may recall, I was outrageously ticked off when we traded a first round pick for Deion freaking Branch. People on this board got personally offended when I suggested that he sucks balls. For some ridiculous reason, the Seahawks traded their very productive #1 wide receiver for a 4th round draft pick...to a team in their own division!! This handed the keys to the WR position to Deion freaking Branch.

 

Okay. We all know I'm a pessimist, especially when it comes to my homer teams. Knowing full well that I am a pessimist, I figured that Deion freaking Branch cannot be as horrible as I have portrayed him, so I drafted him in my big money local to be my #2 WR. I went to the game today and focused my attention solely on Deion Branch for about 15-20 passing plays. I'm telling you, I could have covered the guy, and I'm 6'3 270. He at no point in the game was more than an arm's length away from very mediocre corners. The guy just cannot get open. He runs horrible routes and instead of adjusting on the fly, he just stops and waves at Hasselbeck like an idiot, suggesting Hasselbeck throw to him even though he is just standing there with the corner chillin' right next to him. I am actually very proud of myself that the game has been over for five hours and I haven't dropped him yet.

Why did you guys expect anything much from Branch - the most overated receiver in football. The guy parlayed a big Super Bowl into big bucks.

 

He's never had over 1,000 yards receiving. He's never had more than 5 TDs in a year.

 

He's laughing all the way to the bank.
