    Count down to kick off..... Roll call

    Pretty sure most of us on this board aren't sleeping well tonight. Tomorrow is gonna be a hell of a time. Was looking at all the activity downtown this week and tomorrow, and this is setting up a lot like Times Square during the Superb Owl week. The epicenter of football is tomorrow night...

    Hawknballs week 1 Cheat Sheet

    I like the concept and the format. WHO should we root for? Then being more sensible about who may actually win the game after some analysis... I'm guessing by the end of the season, the better the Sheet record, the more likely the Hawks are inching towards the playoffs! Good stuff!

    This "Immaculate Deflection" crap is annoying me

    Jeez - it's the off-season isn't it? This perhaps goes down as the greatest play in Seahawks history - maybe the way to describe it is exactly what happened? It's the play that put us in the Super Bowl! It was first down and they went for the victory in one play. Sherman tipped it and Smith...

    Three way QB competition this preseason?

    I kind of felt like Jackson has the inside track - mainly because of experience. Experience is what the others are clearly lacking. If Wilson happened to go down, who would you give the ball to? 3 guys with no experience in our system? I don't think I can pick one unless there's a serious...

    Seahawks trade for Terrelle Pryor

    When they said Oakland was going to toss him out, I thought "hey, we should get this guy" - at least let him come to camp and find out what we don't know. He could have really nice upside. If he can't cut it in our "competition" then he will be gone. But to me, totally worth the gamble.

    Hauschka re-signs: 3 years/$9 million

    I totally agree. He got out there and sized it up in his home stadium then he came back and made the call to Pete. I'd rather have Pete make a decision based on all the information and at least try to force a penalty like they discussed. If they didn't jump they would have ran the clock and...

    2014 Season Ticket Pricing

    Yep - renewal notices went out today. For those wondering if they'll get a chance to be STH's this year, the apparent deadline for first payment is March 28.

    Jets sign WR Eric Decker

    True enough - but I do think that in the AFC, they are 1-2 defensive pieces and/or 1-2 offensive pieces to being a lot like the 2010 Seahawks. Get just enough in toughness from the offense and overachieving defense and bam, you're in the playoffs. Not too many AFC teams can make that stretch.

    Jets sign WR Eric Decker

    That's a lot of cheddar given to a guy who disappeared in the Superb Owl.

    Golden Tate signs with the Lions

    Well sad to see him go, but it's all about the guaranteed dough. Likely he'll be cut 2-3 down the line in Detroit, too.

    Awful quiet

    Don't forget 10 new fresh faces coming from the draft - and probably 1 or 2 decent signings... probably a bunch of edge signings heading into training camp... then competition... then about 50 guys who wish they could crack the practice squad on this team moving south to Jacksonville. Our...

    anyone find it ironic bennett/tate

    But Tate's deal is above market value. There's nowhere else he would have earned that dough, and Detroit desperately needed a seasoned WR. He's going to the perfect spot to earn his cabbage - protected by Megatron and a good TE - PR duties - $20k will buy you a city block in that city. Shoot he...

    Golden Tate signs with the Lions

    I will say abundantly that if he was going anywhere, this was the place. Burleson is gone - he will fill that spot nicely. Lots of protection because of Megatron. And oh, by the way, he's now in the same geography (plane-wise) of his hometown (Hendersonville, TN) - and a short flight from Notre...

    Jared allen close to signing?

    I am not that quick to blackball a "credible source" as I recall the upheaval that happened a couple years ago when it came to sources. That was messy... so instead, I choose to shed some humor on guys that like to talk but never get their facts quite straight. Suspect: Anthony Crispino...

    Tate visiting Detroit

    My gut feeling on Tate is he knows he's not going to be "valued" the same anywhere else - not from a contract point of view, but for how the team will use him. I think Detroit might be the most likely stop with regards to how he'll be used most effectively. Detroit loved Burleson - who...

    Jared allen close to signing?

    That would be nuts. Jared Allen is a machine!

    Tate visiting Detroit

    When Tate's agent comes back and tells John Schneider that he's at 5 for 30 with Detroit, 16 guaranteed - JS will come back and say let's go 6 for 30, 12.5 guaranteed. And by the way, no state income tax. Our deal is better, and after year 3 Golden's gonna have to earn his roster spot to get...

    Contest For New .NET Header Graphic

    I don't pretend to have a single artistic bone in my body, so I won't even try to sketch anything on a napkin. If I described the new logo, I would want something that anchors us to the team logo, but also expresses toughness, smarts and depth through the entire roster. Is there a way to make...

    A gentle reminder about main forum topics...

    Heavy thread dudez.... It seems that every year we get a couple of people that take offense to the way the board is moderated. I won't profess this to the best board because this is one of the few I go to so I really can't be too critical. I will say it's certainly not the worst fan forum. :)...

    philosophy change?

    Going to boost the OP's point a bit to make it more rhetorical: Let's just pretend for a sec that next year's version of the LOB is a tick or two lower. The LB's play ok, but not as good as this year. And the DL takes a step down - all viable scenarios! Is there reason to believe that the...
