    Mebane out for the year, torn Hammy

    Too bad. Both Mebane and Wagner were on track for Pro Bowl years until they were injured. We were lucky last year to avoid having too many starters injured, but this year has just been cursed.

    Game Notes

    The announcers were hilarious today, openly mocking officials for phantom numbers called on penalties: "There is no number 76.", "76!? Welcome back Okung, is he here?." Aside from that comedy I thought the officiating was decent. What wasn't hilarious was our O-Line play. I know we are down to...

    The Dark Horse that is Phil Bates

    What is training camp like? Lots of hard work I assume.

    Who Will be the First to Get Traded Away?

    Sadly, I suspect that Bobby Wagner could potentially be traded. Just not sure how we will be able to afford him either via extension or when/if he goes UFA. Someone can and will outspend us if that happens. If we can't extend him then I think he could possibly be traded for a higher round pick...

    How the Seahawks were saved from California’s clutches

    Great read thanks for sharing. I found this stat at the bottom of the article to be particularly interesting: Value of Franchise 1996: $200 million 2013: $1.081 billion

    New-Look Seahawks Offense

    I'm thinking that the TE corps will be under the radar and will be great contributors towards a Top 5 Offense this season. Less TE blocking required (hopefully) so Miller can be available in the open more frequently. Willson blooming, McCoy back.

    Predictions: Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman contracts.

    I play Madden 25 on the PS4 in Owner mode (Paul Allen handed over the Seahawks to me) and these were the numbers Sherman and Thomas III agreed to under my stewardship: Sherman: 6 years, $51M, $18M signing bonus. Thomas III: 5 years, $32.5M, $5M signing bonus. Probably totally unrealistic on a...

    Seahawks can now begin contract talk with 2011 draft class

    Fair points, thanks. Wouldn't Red and Miller be interested in longer term 'retirement' deals? Also staggering the bulk of their cap hits further forward might give us some wiggle room to re-sign Earl and possibly even RW. The Mebane deal is a mystery to me though... I mean how far do we go to...

    Seahawks can now begin contract talk with 2011 draft class

    Looking at that list reminds me of how good that draft turned out to be. Except for Carpenter, imo. The only way, in my completely amateur opinion, I can see re-signing all of them to fair market contracts would be to: - Cut Rice - Restructure Miller's contract - Restructure Red's contract -...

    Good job

    Thanks man, classy post. Frankly, the bounty of draft picks the Rams have at their disposal over the coming years is cause for concern. You guys keep getting better year after year, to such a degree that our Seahawks should be watching their backs. The NFC West is no joke and it will only get...

    How much would a healthy Percy have helped?

    Thank you, Doctor.

    A Voice of Reason

    This is one of the core reasons why we have such great fans. I hope that doesn't diminish after we win the SB this year.

    Random Thoughts™ on the Arizona game

    The Cardinals played lights-out defense for the entire game. Truly impressive actually, especially their secondary. I mean really, 4 interceptions but only 3 points as a result?

    Random Thoughts™ on the Giants game

    I am concerned about Lynch as well but to be honest I think it is a matter of game planning by our opponents. In my non-expert opinion, for the past three weeks our opponents have seemed to have prepared to do two things: 1. Stop Lynch 2. Mitigate against the Read Option All the while opening...

    Random Thoughts™ on the Giants game

    Also thanks Detroit! We drafted Maxwell in compensation for LoJack: "Maxwell was drafted with the 173rd overall pick in the 6th round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks with a pick they acquired from the Detroit Lions after a trade for Defensive End Lawrence Jackson."

    Random Thoughts™ on the Giants game

    Thanks Kearly. Between the play of Maxwell and Lane I am having a hard time missing Browner. And I think Browner is awesome. It's crazy to think that we at some point will or might get back Thurmond and Browner. There was another thread that suggested that this is the best secondary ever: I...

    *Week 11: Seahawks-Vikings Game Preview …*

    Thanks man, great read. The average fan doesn't consider many of the things you bring up. Certainly opened my eyes on several topics. Especially that the Vikings "Are allowing teams to convert an incredible 50% of their 3rd Downs (Worst in NFL)", which reminded me that the Seahawks have seemed...
