    Could the Rams game be a trap game for us?

    I don't think coaches, players or most fans overlook the Rams. I for one am terrified of this game, far more than I was before last game. The Seahawks are beat up, post flu, on a short week, on the road, on grass, against an intimate division rival that in some ways still matches up well...

    Ruminations on the Vikings Game

    I can't disagree with the one point by austinslater25, that an appeal to authority, even the authority of almighty Bill Belichick, is just that, an appeal to authority. I raised it half in fun and half because you will rarely find an analytics follower (certainly not a Seahawks analytics...

    Travis Homer

    I thought so too. I checked and NextGenStats recorded Homer at 20.95 mph. For reference, they also have a list of top 20 fastest plays for the entire year and #20 was 21.31 mph.

    Ruminations on the Vikings Game

    I have found it interesting that Bill Belichick has made many similar "cowardly" decisions to kick field goals within 5 and 10 yards of the endzone and punt on 4th and short from the opposing team's ~40 this year, and in the past. He is not that averse to punting on 4th and short - depending...

    Penny

    I can't even fathom how anyone could watch Carson and use the word "mediocre". The reason he is a top 10 or even top 5 running back has nothing to do with volume (although his ability to achieve volume is noteworthy). Whlie many other top RBs are firing through massive holes created by...

    Bench Ansah Start Green.

    I've been as disappointed as anyone else in Ansah's performance so far this year, but to say he sucked in the past or that it was foolish to sign him reeks of 20/20 hindsight to me. These notions not based on facts. Up until this year Ansah's pass pressure rate has been better than Clowney's...

    Clowney

    Clowney is an interesting case. Disruptive and boundless potential for development, no doubt. I would love to see him extended and the Hawks surely would too, but at what price? It was reported that in Houston he was looking for DLaw/Clark plus money. But while Clowney impacts games in...

    Some of you really don't understand how Pete operates

    Bingo. Someone elsewhere posted a win probability graph and based on those calculations the game was never particularly close at all. It just felt that way to some. Historically, I was curious how many teams have made up a 24 point margin but I couldn't quite find that statistic, but I did...

    Carson Ran into a Loaded Box on 57.9% of his carries #1

    The original data source, nextgenstats, seems to directly contradict the statement in the article. This summarizes the relevant stats and paints a very different picture: "Altogether, Seattle has the 9th LOWEST stacked box run rate in the league (17.1%)...
