The Stage Is Set

Cardinals lose. 49ers lose. Burress out. Aaron Rodgers possibly out a few weeks with a separated shoulder. Anyone that would say the Hawks should win next week is ignoring a lot of history, including recent history. If they can find a way to pull of that upset…man, we’d be setup...

Coincidence?

I pointed out earlier that the Seahawks run offense and run defense are improved this year. I have often heard that having and offense practicing everyday against a strong defense can help the offense improve, and vice versa. The same might be said about more specific sub-segments, like a strong...

2008 Power Rankings Week 3

These rankings are a good reminder of how big a hole we dug for ourselves in the first two weeks. The Hawks increased the team strength by the second-largest amount this week, but still have not broken 20 in the overall rankings. Our next game is against the second-ranked team...

Preview: Rams @ Seahawks

Misery loves company, and so misery may never have found a better match than these two teams on Sunday. By my own calculations, these are the 27th and 32nd “best” teams in the NFL. One team is not shocked to be 0-2 as much as they are shocked by the...

Welcome Back, Koren!

It’s been too hectic around here to snap the digital picture of my Koren Robinson jersey and post it here, but you should all know I’m a fan. I may have the worst jersey luck of any Seahawks fan in history. The first jersey I bought after moving to Seattle...

2008 Power Rankings Week 2

The power rankings are starting to settle in. We should see these become very representative of the team quality after this week’s games. Based on who the Seahawks are right now, I have no quibbles with their current ranking. It boils down to three things: Points allowed (33.5/game) Yard Per...
