Seahawks are getting popular nationally

It’s time to start worrying. The Hawks are getting national respect after their most recent win. Everywhere I look, people are jumping them up in their power rankings and talking about them as a sheik NFC playoff sleeper. There’s quite a backlash on the ESPN Hashmarks Power Rankings. But, what...

Logic prevails: long snapper has a short tenure

Thanks to cwu91 for calling my attention to the story of our crappy long snapper getting the axe. Let’s hope this leads to a more stable situation on special teams. I still believe Plackemeier takes too long to kick the ball, regardless of who the snapper is. The same way...

Quick look at Carolina

I admit to having lost track of almost anything about the Panthers. I was surprised to see how far they’ve fallen. Their offense is 49ers-esque. In the last seven games, they are averaging 12.4 pts/game. If you take out the game where they played the real 49ers when they scored...

Game Thread: Cardinals @ Seahawks

What would you say if I told you the Hawks will lose the division if they don’t win this game? Looking at the two teams schedules after today, that’s my assessment. We all know if the Hawks win today, they clinch the division. We also know that if they lose,...
