Some would say his play was inspiring. Some might say it was downright poetic. Either way, one thing is clear. The Charlie Frye Era has begun (or re-begun if you follow the Browns). With mobility like the late Michael Vick and an arm like Brett Favre, Frye racked up 83 yards on 23 pass attempts, finishing the game with a 53.4 QB rating. Some would say, “Wow, that is some pretty horrible QB play.” I say, “Thank you Charlie Frye.” I say thank you because I was beginning to wonder what we were going to do once Matt Hasselbeck decided to retire. I think I speak for Seahawk’s Nation when I say we’ve found Hasselbeck’s successor.

Frye’s emergence couldn’t come at a better time seeing how Seattle only likes to carry three QB’s and two of them are complete vaginas. Vaginas are great, but being the sworn enemy of all sports other than volleyball and tennis, they tend to make better kickers and punters than they do QB’s. If Seattle’s thinking about signing a QB who is NOT a complete sissy, I say they model their next signing around Aaron Rodgers. One word for this kid, baller! While Seahawks fans watched as Hasselbeck laughed and smiled, and crawled around on the bench like a damn two year old, Rodgers was tossing the rock like he was playing against 11 fat kids signed up for NFL PLAY 60: The NFL Movement for an Active Generation, all with a dislocated shoulder. I wouldn’t be able to wipe my ass or play pocket Yahtzee, let alone throw a football, with that diagnosis.

If Frye does have the occasional slip-up at some point in the Charlie Frye Era, Seattle fans do not have to worry. Seattle’s Paul-Walkeresque “Fast and Furious” defense will pick up the slack. Seattle’s defense has been dubbed undersized but quick by some, and while many watching Sunday’s game might call them undersized and overpowered, I know they’re just waiting to get their feet under them. No better time for that to happen than seven weeks into the season. Watch out Tampa Bay. First, Seattle’s defense lets you push them around and impose your will on them. Then, when you least expect it, they start playing worse and scuffling with your players like this is the Ultimate Fighter. Then, BAM, before you know it you’ve been Deep Fryed (meaning Frye just starts throwing deep balls in hopes of making up the 30 point deficit the Seahawks find themselves in).

Unfortunately, while many fans in the Seattle and Green Bay metropolitan areas were lucky enough to witness Frye go from bust to bling in 60 minutes, most of the nation missed out. Seeing how there were enough Frye highlights to fill an entire 120 minute Sports Center, I can only assume any post-game highlights of the game didn’t do Frye’s play justice. No worries America, Seattle’s (and Frye’s) next game is slated for Sunday night in front of a national TV audience. Unless NBC negotiates to start flex scheduling earlier, but I’m sure they already tried that. So get ready for QB play that will make you sick to your stomach because of its shear greatness. Get ready for the Charlie Fry Era! *que Metallica’s Enter Sandman*
