PRIMER Power rankings are always debatable. I don’t buy into the gut feel methods most places use to determine their rankings, so I developed a formula a few years back that attempts to take at least some of the subjectivity out of the discussion. My approach is simple, I measure...
It already feels like a year since the Seahawks last played. The memories are not all good, but lost in the game was another great game from the offensive line. This block from Russell Okung on Justin Smith was an instant favorite. Smith is regularly talked about as a Top...
Seattle let one get away. Then, they let another. No, I am not talking about they bevy of passes the team dropped on Thursday. I am not talking about the series of break-out runs by the 49ers in the second half, either. As the final seconds ticked off the clock...
I know what you would like to read. I know, because I would like to write it. You want to hear about why the Seahawks should win the game tonight against the 49ers. Why wouldn’t you? A win tonight would leave the Seahawks with no limits on this season. A...

This game was over. Doug Baldwin had caught a gorgeous touchdown pass from Russell Wilson with 1:50 to go in the first quarter, and the Seahawks had not scored since. A 10-7 lead at that point, turned into a 20-10 deficit heading into the fourth quarter. Future Hall of Fame...
A few weeks back, I wrote an article comparing Russell Wilson’s rookie season to those of Alex Smith from 2011 and Ben Roethlisberger as a rookie in 2004. I plan on doing a more thorough comparison of Wilson’s rookie year to other rookie QBs later, but enjoy the trends in...
