A sizable portion of Seahawks fans bemoan Brian Schottenheimer’s predictable playcalling. If you have ever seen the term, “RRP,” or “R-R-P,” that stands for “Run, Run, Pass,” and it is likely accompanied by some angry emoji. It may come as some surprise or comfort that Schottenheimer may not top the...
There is a myth associated with the playoffs that the best teams win. That is probably truest when judging the Super Bowl, where two teams meet on a neutral field. Seahawks fans know better than most how significant home field can be in the playoffs. How else does a 7-9...
Looking at previous head-to-head matchups is the first thing most analysts will do when assessing a new contest. The closer a rematch is to the original game, the more relevant any lessons learned might be. However, as evidenced by the Seahawks 43-16 victory and 26-23 loss to the 49ers two...
This has not been an artful 2018 season for the Seattle Seahawks. Fun? Surprising? Exciting? Yes to all of those. Artful? Not so much. They are a team that can slug it out with the most powerful offenses in football, and muck it up with the worst. Arizona brought a...

POWER RANKINGS It has become boring to ask which is the best team in the NFL. The Saints have earned that title consistently through the season. Any team not from New Orleans that makes the Super Bowl will be a surprise. More interesting is trying to assess who might come...
Pete Carroll is unbending in his philosophy. It rankles many, who want to see him follow the trends appearing throughout the league. Part of his approach includes a stay-in-the-moment mentality that treats each game as equally important and discourages reflecting too much on either a win or a loss. I...

In the 50th episode of Real Hawk Talk, Brian Nemhauser, Evan Hill, Jeff Simmons, and Josh (aka Cable Thanos) break down the discouraging loss to San Francisco, the Seahawks’...
Pete Carroll thought the 3-0 score through much of the matchup against the Vikings was beautiful. He is far less likely to enjoy this game if defense is what he craves. There may not be a punt when the Chiefs roll into town to face the Seahawks in another prime...
