I had a Seahawks pen growing up that had a rubber stamp on the cap shaped like a football. Every day I would position the pen on the edge of a desk, karate chop one side of it to send it flipping into the air, and then caught it, before...
Atlanta Falcons defensive end John Abraham injured his left ankle in the last game of the regular season versus the Tampa Bay Bucs. It has been assumed since he practiced in a limited basis earlier this week that he would be fine to play against the Seahawks. Jason LaCanfora reported...
Championships are won by great teams, and those great teams must include dominant players. The Pro Bowl is one measure of a player’s performance, but the selection process is terribly flawed. A better benchmark is All-Pro performers. The All-Pro team has it’s own selection flaws, but it offers the benefit of...
Listen to people that follow the Falcons, and you are likely to hear a myth being propagated. The story goes something like this: someone asks the Falcons expert how the team will handle Russell Wilson and the read option, and the expert replies that the Falcons faced Cam Newton twice, Robert...
I was able to distract Softy long enough from the Sonics news to talk a little Seahawks. We covered the win against the Redskins, the impact of the Clemons and Hauschka injuries, and what I expect against the Falcons. ***DOWNLOAD THE PODCAST*** **SUBSCRIBE IN ITUNES** Alternatively, here are instructions to subscribe manually...
Many Redskins fans wanted to remind folks in Seattle that Washington had beat the Seahawks in CenturyLink field just a year ago with Rex Grossman at quarterback. The problem with that logic was that both teams were significantly different, at least on offense, than the ones that matched up the...
Getting to face the Atlanta Falcons in the playoffs is like getting a bye week, right? All they do is lose. Russell Wilson has more playoff wins than Matt Ryan. Seattle is the hottest team in the NFL, so this should be a cake walk. It is possible for the...
Ancient history says the Seahawks do not win road games in the playoffs. Yesterday’s history shows they can. NFL history says nobody comes back from a 14-point first quarter deficit on the road. Yesterday’s history saw Seattle accomplish the feat for the first time since the AFL/NFL merger, and only...
There have been 580 regular season games in the history of the franchise. They have lost more than they have won, but have generally been a team that hovers around .500. Household names for Seahawks fans are NFL afterthoughts in most cases. Chuck Knox, Kenny Easley, Jacob Green, and even...
Seattle plays the Washington Redskins in the playoffs. There is consensus across odds-makers, game-pickers, and statisticians that the Seahawks are the better team. Seahawks fans know well that the better team does not always win, and local media is playing up the paranoia by writing about how history tells us the Seahawks have...
I had a great time joining Ball Hogs Radio last night for a segment debating the game this weekend. The fellas were intent on breaking my confidence in the Seahawks. They were clinging to “magic” by the time I was done with them. It was all good fun. Take a...
