First Look: St. Louis Rams

Most people now realize this is not the same St. Louis Rams team that we’ve seen the last few years. Sam Bradford has quickly become a league darling, and for good reason. It only took one half of pre-season football against the Patriots to convince me he is legit franchise...

Hawk Blogger 2010 Power Rankings – Week 3

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...

Licking The Tears Of Chargers Fans

The best 60 seconds of my weekend occurred immediately after my worst five minutes. The Seahawks were clinging to a 20-12 lead with San Diego charging–pun intended–down the field for what would eventually be the tying score and two-point conversion. I had been screaming my throat into a nearly bleeding...

What would victory on Sunday mean?

The likelihood of a Seahawks victory against the Chargers on Sunday isn’t very high. The Chargers have an elite offense and strong enough defense, while the Seahawks are still finding their identity. Unlike our week one opponents, the 49ers, the Chargers are proven winners and have a Pro Bowl quarterback....

Gotta Run Before You Can Run

The Seahawks are having trouble running the ball. Their offensive line is a mess, and they don’t have a featured running back. Wrong, wrong and wrong. It is true that the Seahawks are 20th in the NFL in rushing at 93.0 yards/game. It is true that the Seahawks don’t have a...
