Return of the Seahawks Twitter recap following saddest loss to Dallas Cowboys

| 12 October, 2014 | Seahawks |

At the beginning of the Seahawks season I had no plans of continuing to do these Twitter recaps. They’re time consuming, and sometimes they remove some joy from just watching my favorite team and my fantasy team have all-too-often opposite results. However, if you like these, thank Matt Holt and Matt Mikolas, otherwise known as Mrs. Akita and Slickhawk for the right amount of harassment necessary to bring them back. That amount was just both of them saying one thing one time, which was enough because I’m weak. This is a twitter recap of the Seahawks excruciating loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

From pregame, or regarding not this game:

 

Regarding Bengals-Panthers tie.

 

First Quarter

Seahawks get the ball to start the game.

 

Cooper Helfet with a first down on third and long.

 

On second down Russell Wilson scrambles to his left, fumbles off his own knee, recovers, and then dives out of bounds.

 

On third and long, Russell Wilson with a pass to Jermaine Kearse while moving to his right, 53 yard gain. Seahawks ball on the Dallas 14.

 

Early Dallas Cowboys defensive strategy, after an incomplete pass and a blown up Percy Harvin run.
