Cutting Through the Geno Smith & DK Metcalf Noise

The new way to have a debate about football is to claim someone either “knows ball” or does not. It is a weapon wielded like The Infinity Gauntlet, where a simple snap of the fingers wipes your argument from the universe as if it never existed. As with any weapon...

The Morning After: Where Do Seahawks Go From Here?

There are always two conversations going on during an NFL game. The first is about the outcome of the game being played. It focuses on the matchups between players on the field and coaches on the sidelines. The second is about where the team is headed beyond this game and...

Tale of the Tape: Vikings Strengths Are Seahawks Weak Spots

Most of these previews have gone below the surface to find subtleties and nuances to the upcoming game you might not find elsewhere. Not this week. Minnesota comes to town winners of seven straight and tied for the best record in the NFC. They are among the most imposing defenses...

The Morning After: Seahawks Slide Back Into The Mediocre Muck

I was never much of a Charlie Brown guy. I would watch it now and then out of pure boredom, and somehow became more bored during the show. Some of the characters were memorable, though. Linus, with his blanket. Schroeder, with his tiny piano. One recurring bit involved Lucy holding...

The Seahawks defense has been nearly unrecognizable since Week 9 after a series of personnel changes and some schematic tweaks transformed it into one of the best defenses in football.

The Morning After: Seahawks Impose Will, Sweep Away Cardinals 30-18

Rites of passage differ among different cultures, religions, and regions. All are meant to mark important moments of growth that come with heightened expectations.

Coaching Analysis

The Complicated Case of Ryan Grubb

I am biased. Let’s get that out of the way from the start. Ryan Grubb was my first choice to take over the offensive coordinator position this season. I celebrated when he was hired. That optimism seemed well founded when the offense purred like a sports car during training camp....

Short Yardage Woes Plaguing Seahawks

Fans will not see 3rd and 1 running plays that gain 2 yards on SportsCenter very often. Someone watching football for the first time sees those plays where a mass of humanity collides with very little movement, and wonder how this game has become so popular. There is little sex...

It is rare to face the same twice in three weeks in the NFL. Having that team be your chief competition for the division title is even more unique. Seattle will try for a home-and-away sweep of the Arizona Cardinals in a game that very well could decide the NFC...
