An astoundingly bad first half

The first half isn't quite over, but so far it's been astoundingly bad. I can't believe that Matt Hasselbeck has been sacked as many times as he has. The first play from scrimmage was a sack.
The Seahawks front line has been missing in action. ElsBritt said she thought they had left to go to the bathroom or something, since they didn't seem to be providing any protection.
San Diego doesn't seem to be able to get it together today. The amazing thing is that as I write this, the Seahawks have 61 yards passing and San Diego has 0.
There have been some incredibly bad "almost" plays too. A Seattle punt was nearly blocked, but it turned into the longest punt for Seattle in since 1973. The receiver fumbled it too. San Diego was lucky though. They recovered the fumble.
There's still a little more than 6 minutes to go in the half, and Seattle has punted again. For the first time in the game there was a decent run. It could have been a touchdown, but it was 62 yards from the 14 yard line.
Seattle's Defense still doesn't know how to make tackles. But at least an incredibly dull game has at least one highlight now. Unfortunately for Seattle, it looks like San Diego is going to score first.
Well, they did. On second and eight at the nine, the Seahawks gave San Diego what seemed like a week in the pocket. Nobody even seemed to know that the quarterback had the ball and bam - a touchdown pass.
Yuck!
I wonder if the Seahawks will wake up now and figure out how to come back with a score, or if now that San Diego appears to have their rhythm the game will turn into the blowout that was predicted.
Update: Well the Seahawks still can't get it together. Matt Hasselbeck threw yet another interception. The bright spot is that Shaun Alexander finally broke through for a decent run. The defense also somehow managed to stop the Chargers, but it's been a pretty bad half.
At the end of the half, the Chargers had 9 yards of passing to the Seahawks' 92 yards. The thing that mattered though is that the Chargers' 9 yards was on a single touchdown pass. The Seahawks go into the locker room 7 points behind.
