RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Matt Hasselbeck has a message for the many doubters of the flailing Seahawks: You're ridiculous.
Seattle's three-time Pro Bowl quarterback acknowledged Wednesday before his team left for an extended bye weekend off that "there's a lot of negativity around our team."
But he said the idea that the season is essentially over for his 2-4 team is "absolutely ridiculous."
Hasselbeck says the team can still attain all the goals it set before this season over the season's final 10 games, beginning Nov. 1 at Dallas.
The Seahawks are 1½ games out of first place in the NFC West. They have won the division four times in the last five seasons.
Hasselbeck calls this "an opportunity to pull together and prove people wrong."
