On any given Sunday in the NFL, any team can rise up and beat the other. When time allows, I will look at both how Seahawks loss and Seahawks win might play out in the upcoming game. Let’s start by exploring a potential loss. Any road game is hard to...
Scouts Inc. publishes early scouting reports for each NFL game on ESPN.com on Wednesday’s. While reading this week’s preview of the Seahawks @ Broncos match-up (requires Insider subscription), it became abundantly clear where national perception is lagging behind the new Seahawks reality. Here’s a sampling of some comments that caught my...
Season ticket holders were treated to an awesome gadget on Sunday. It’s this portable TV device called Fanvision. Fanvision, I think I love you The device allows you to see, and hear, the live network feed of the game from *any* of the cameras they have in the stadium. It...
My biggest frustration with the Blogger platform is the lack of ways readers can contribute content and have discussion. Due to our friendly neighborhood spammers, I’ve had to lock down comments so tight, you need a retinal scan just to say “You’re an idiot, HB!” With all that in mind,...
Lots of key questions came out of the Seahawks game on Sunday, but perhaps none were more important than “what the hell was that halftime show?” I’ve uploaded a short clip of it for those who missed it, or were not in attendence: It’s time to raise your game Seahawks....
A heavy dose of skepticism and criticism was leveled against the light camp schedule Pete Carrol laid out. KJR hosts, especially, talked about it as a vacation and the “softest NFL camp I’ve ever seen.” Contrast that to 49ers coach Mike Singletary who runs infamously tough camps with drills called...
Russell Okung will have missed six weeks by the time this Sunday’s game has come and gone. Chester Pitts will likely miss this week, which means he hasn’t played since October of last season. These were injuries that the Seahawks front office knew about when assembling the 53-man roster, but...
Ray Roberts is one of the better sports radio personalities in Seattle, not because he is always right, but because he is his own man. He had one of his classic meltdowns on the Brock and Salk show yesterday when Salk asked what the first game of the season meant....
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 offensive...
John “Mr. Ed” Elway, Karl Mecklenberg, Dennis Smith, Steve Atwater, Shannon Sharpe, Terrell Davis, and Rod Smith will not be suiting up for the Broncos on Sunday. Heck, Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall won’t even be there. It is a true test of you Seahawks fandom to see if you...
Every now and then, your favorite sports team rises up and proves people wrong. It is a great feeling. Pride and hope enter the collective home town psyche where there once was only trepidation and shame. Local and national media would have had to eat their words even if the...
Sports fans, commentators and coaches sometimes talk about moral victories. It is meant to capture the feeling of a team that played better than expected. Moral victories often come with some sterling individual performances that give hope even if the outcome was not what the team wanted. The 49ers went...
