Just as I did with the Saints game last week, I will outline a few of the differences between these two teams since their first game. I do not even have to look to know the personnel differences won’t be even close to as significant as the Saints game. It’s...
The best way to capture what happened yesterday may be in the combined voice of fans after the game. Check out a sampling of some tweets. Names have been removed, but you may recognize yours: “Thank you, @PeteCarroll. You made us relevant again!” “Let’s talk about Harbaugh and Whitehurst some...
I am baring my raw sports self in these videos. Enjoy. WARNING: There is swearing in these videos. Feel free to add your own links in the comments section as a “Picture/Video Wall” of sorts. 10AM, on the way to game day brunch Pre-Game Introductions Reaction After Marshawn Lynch’s 67-Yard...
There is a rite of passage for every sports fan. It is a time where you realize the bliss of athletics is not just the thrill of competition or victory. It is the majesty of participating in this perfect soul-touching moment where the wandering paths of players, coaches, and fans...
So much of the focus this week has been about who would start for the Seahawks at quarterback and how big of an underdog Seattle is, that one of the most important story lines has been largely ignored. The Saints are among the most prolific offenses in the NFL, ranking...
Seattle is so afraid to believe in anything, or anyone, especially related to sports. The day before our city’s first NFL playoff game in three years is ushered in by an article on the front page of the Seattle Times mocking our city and our team. Nobody cares about this...
Mike Williams has been a great story, as has Leon Washington. Lawyer Milloy and Red Bryant have been revelations in their own right. All of those player’s performances in 2010 have received a fair amount of attention locally, and some nationally. One of the best parts of the season, and...
Picking a quarterback to start for the Seahawks this weekend against Drew Brees and the Saints has proven tougher than most expected. Just look what the candidates have to offer: The first guy has won many games as a starter in the NFL, far more than the other guy. He...
Gut feelings and subjectivity is a part of what makes sports great. My favorite moments, though, are when you take those beliefs and hold them up against statistics to see what the reality is. That moment when you get to see the numbers is like unwrapping a birthday present. You...
You may have seen the quick write-up I did this morning of the plethora of changes from the first match-up between these two teams. Let’s dig a little deeper to see which of those could have a significant impact on the way the game unfolds. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES — Chris Ivory out, Reggie...
Too often, people assess a game by the records of the two teams playing or just by the last time they played one another. All Seahawks fans should know that a team can be totally different from one week to another based on things like injury and location/time of the...
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...
