NFL Power Rankings — Seahawks Set To Face Top-Ranked Patriots

POWER RANKINGS Let’s start with the 7-1 Dallas Cowboys, who rank a lowly 13th this week. The rankings formula really does not like weak schedules. Dallas has the 32nd-ranked strength of schedule (SOS) in the NFL. Dead last. The toughest team they have faced so far is 10th ranked Philadelphia, and...

The Morning After: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back in Seahawks 31-25 Victory Over Bills

Sheesh. You think you know somebody. A game that seemed destined to be a slugfest between two dynamic defenses, turned into a shootout between two electric offenses. Russell Wilson led four touchdowns drives in the first half after totalling just three in the previous three games combined. Tyrod Taylor and LeSean McCoy...

Blue Friday Fodder: Decoding Pete Carroll, State of the NFC & Signs of Hope on Offense

Decoding Pete Carroll Pete Carroll tends to be cryptic in his press conferences, but not necessarily as cryptic as he thinks. He has made a number of comments since the loss to New Orleans that revealed both some information about why the Seahawks offense may have looked as inept as it...

Tale of the Tape — Expect a Defensive Battle Between Bills and Seahawks

The tale of the tape last week proved to be frustratingly prescient. Seattle needed a strong performance from their offense and did not get it. The defense gave up a season-high 25 points. Buffalo poses a different sort of challenge. They are not elite on either side of the ball,...

The Morning After: Bad Decisions Cost Seahawks Game, Lose to Saints 25-20

Week 8 Seahawks Chat with Softy: Rant Time, But Maybe Not What You Expect

I’ll admit to being a little frustrated by the rampant bitching going on among Seahawks fans. I’m also pretty frustrated that the coaching staff is refusing to commit to the running game. Softy and I discuss both in this week’s podcast. ...

Tale of the Tape: Seahawks Offense Must Pull Their Weight Versus Saints

Be very careful. The Saints—sitting at 2-4 with one of the NFL’s worst defenses—look like easy pickings. They are anything but. Drew Brees has the New Orleans offense purring, and the Saints have been in every game they have played this year. The defense is atrocious, but the Seahawks offense...
