    Super Bowl XL was possibly fixed???

    It doesn't have to be a league wide conspiracy for that game to be rigged though. It could be just 1 ref whose gambling on games. This was literally happening in the NBA at the same time as XL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_NBA_betting_scandal

    Russell Wilson: Seahawks team reminds me of 2012

    If the playoffs started today, the Seahawks would be playing the Redskins on the road in the first week... definitely 2012 again. :)

    710 (Salk) going on about Doug and Russ

    Really hoping this is just Salk stirring ish up. This doesn't seem like Doug at all to be an anonymous source for a negative story about his team and QB. Doug seems to be pretty straight forward and willing to put his name behind his opinions.

    Penny frustrated, Pete likes it.

    To address the first part of this, yes, you are right, Hernandez would probably be starting and we probably wouldn't have signed Sweezy. My issue is that Spin Doctor keeps trashing the Penny pick and saying Hernandez should've been drafted, but guard is actually a solid unit on our team and...

    Steven Jackson started as technically the 4th RB, although he got the second most carries by season end. Larry Johnson was third string, got called out publicly by his coach and didn't get hardly any touches until 2 guys got injured ahead of him.

    And Davis is also a career journeyman, and Carson is coming off a big injury. Guard and RB were both areas of need, both were addressed, and now both are a strength. If we drafted Hernandez instead and he couldn't crack our starting lineup yet due to our other 3 guards outplaying him, would...

    Would Hernandez be that big of an upgrade? We're currently playing a back up at guard that just moved to the left side on the fly and we just ran for 190, and have 3 straight weeks with a 100+ yd rusher for the first time in 6 years.

    Last year there were 26 RBs drafted in the 3rd round or later and you name 3 were who were good. Yeah history is full of late round RB that do well, it's also full of a lot more that aren't any good. Just because Carson is playing way above his 7rd draft position doesn't mean he is automatically...

    Shaquem Griffin: Your Best Never Comes Easy

    He's a 5th rd pick who is currently playing well on special teams and is not ready to be a starter. Is it really fair to expect anything more from 5th rounder? He played great in pre season, well enough to get the start in week1, but clearly wasn't ready for that yet, but that doesn't mean he...

    I think Carson is the exception, not the rule. Yeah it sucks that our first round pick is currently 3rd on the depth chart. I choose to look at it as Carson and Davis are just playing that well right now, rather than Penny isn't good enough. I could be wrong, but I'll stay optimistic about him...

    I'll add that Davis didn't out perform Penny the first few weeks either. Weeks 1 and 3 he had 0 carries, and week 2 he went 3 carries for 3 yards. Davis didn't out perform Penny till week 4 with his 100+ yds and 2 TDs, a game where Penny actually played pretty well himself, getting 49 yds on 9...

    Seahawks fan fanaticism

    I agree with this a lot. I completely see both Earl's and the team's side of this. I wish we could've extended Earl on a reasonable deal. I wish we could've had had our trade demands met. I wish Earl didn't get hurt. It sucks that it didn't work out, but I'm not gonna get mad and put all the...

    A Call for Creativity

    We adopted the read option in 2012. Doesn't have to be a complete change of philosophy, just being more creative and efficient is all.

    Seahawk Defense

    Regarding the DBs leading in tackles, keep in mind we've had a lot of different guys playing LB so far. Wagner missed a game, Kendricks wasn't here for week 1, Griffin and Calitro have both had starts, Mingo is out or on the edge for Nickel situations. Hopefully our LBs are leading the way in...

    Tharold Simon

    He was a backup outside corner with an injury, thrown into the slot against Tom Brady in the Super Bowl. That was never going to go well. That said, hell no I don't want him back here.
