For now, check out what’s out there for reaction on Seattle’s 23-17 loss to Washington on Sunday.

Here’s my game story, which focuses on the third and 19 play from midfield where Anthony Armstrong beat Brandon Browner for a 50-yard touchdown, his first catch since Oct. 23.

Dave Boling of The News Tribune writes that it’s time for Seattle head coach Pete Carroll to crack on repeat offenders regarding penalties. Couldn’t agree more.

Seattle receiver Mike Williams has become an afterthought in Seattle’s offense. Williams was held without a catch for a third game this season.

John McGrath of The News Tribune writes that there was plenty of blame to go around as Seattle fell apart in the fourth quarter.

Seattle led by as many as 10 points in the second half, but let one slip away in a 23-17 loss to Washington.

Rex Grossman threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns. The dagger was a 50-yard strike to Anthony Armstrong on 3rd and 19 from the 50-yard line midway through the fourth quarter.

With defensive tackle Alan Branch a game-time decision heading into Sunday’s game against Washington, you likely will see a lot more of Clinton McDonald lined up next to Brandon Mebane.
