    This Team is GOOD

    Players that have blown up and far exceeded expectations: Boye Mafe Bobby Wagner Jordyn Brooks Devon Witherspoon Stone Forsythe Jarren Reed. Players on the verge of breaking out but haven't had enough opportunities: Jackson Smith-Njigba Zach Charbonnet Players that are definitely delivering...

    This Team is GOOD

    The block function works beautifully. After this team takes care of the Ravens, the last thing I want to read is a bunch of "yea, but" posts from concern trolls. Especially if they don't hold up to logic. Anyone with a lick of sense can easily distinguish between legitimate concern and attention...

    Our Edge / OLB

    The only reason they could swing the Williams deal is because of swapping draft capital for a cash obligation. Out of money folks. They couldn't have brought in Sweat or Young if they wanted to. It isn't complicated. They brought in Clark because he was the best affordable option. He liked his...

    Seattle and San Francisco

    I believe that Mafe is outperforming Chase Young this season. Correct me if I'm wrong. Williams was definitely the need area considering the edge rotation depth of Hall, Clark, Mafe, and Taylor. Even with the loss of Nwosu. That collective edge pressure is more than holding its own although...

    More trades coming?

    I believe the #2 pick was basically part of a cash money deal (in the form of obligated salary compensation to Williams) to keep Seattle within cap flexibility. If Seattle had more cap space, they probably could have absorbed some more contract obligation for Williams and spent less draft...

    More trades coming?

    Rumor mill has it that there was much more league wide interest in Sweat than Young. Injury history and extension possibility/affordability were the supposed reasons why. I guess that explains the #2 pick for Sweat and the #3 pick for Young. I would have thought that Young would fetch the higher...

    The NFL needs to STOP emphasizing different penalties!

    I imagine the oil-fired boiler room of a steam turbine ship. Multiple gauges that require periodic surveillance. When a given gauge reaches a certain threshold then an associated valve is manipulated to bring the gauge back within optimum operating parameters. The weekly review and...

    Rotating O line

    Bringing in Peters, Clark, and Williams for a likely "half season" window of use is a very clear indication that the staff believes they can get it done this year. Those moves just screams "Win it all now." These are anticipatory depth moves designed to survive a marathon (which includes...

    Poll: Leonard Williams trade

    The team just got much better. Whining for the sake of whining. It really is exhausting and there is apparently no immediate outcome that can satisfy the obsessive whine. When whine is your primary calling card, I would personally feel cursed. It can't possibly be enjoyable. Fans that can't...

    Who are the Seahawks this year?

    An ascending top tier defense that is currently held back only by making rookie mental mistakes that keep opposing drives alive. That is the current team identity. Leading the league in penalties is seriously impacting their defensive rankings and their second half lead cushions. If they could...

    TRADE ALERT!!! Leonard Williams to the Seahawks!

    Bobo has scored twice in the last two weeks, and he wasn't drafted. Eskridge was selected in the second round. Draft picks aren't the end all. Player evaluation and player development are. No one knows how Williams is going to work out yet. It is far too early to pass judgement on the...

    We need to practice defending screens ALL WEEK

    I partially agree, but not entirely. Hunt should have been in the #1 crosshairs from the beginning. Going into the game you knew that Cooper and Hunt were the two weapons that could hurt you the most. You also knew that Cleveland specializes in screen plays. The defense should have been prepped...

    We need to practice defending screens ALL WEEK

    The most immediate and easily correctable issue: Mental discipline on defense. I'm talking about penalties. I'm talking about getting off the field after successfully putting the opposition into a punt situation. The extra opportunities provided due to unforced mental errors on defense are the...

    A new trend has occured.

    Every time the ball is forced to Metcalf, something bad happens. Every. Single. Time. Throw it to JSN, Bobo, Lockett, any of the tight ends, Walker, ANYONE ELSE, and the play is routinely made. Throw it to Metcalf and it is literally FORCED. Nothing about it seems natural. Nothing good happens...

    Trade Deadline 2023

    Lock's value as determined by the local peanut gallery is vastly underestimated. What matters most is what is captured on video (not peanut gallery opinion) and just about everything captured on video of Lock within a Seahawk uniform is that of a desirable commodity. With regard to finishing his...

    Trade Deadline 2023

    I think the player most likely to be traded (though I would kind of hate to see it happen) would be Drew Lock. Similar to how Pete encourages assistants to take career enhancing moves, I believe Pete feels that Lock has earned his shot at a real opportunity for a starting gig, and I don't think...

    Bengals fans hyped for this matchup

    I have only watched them once this season. Against the Rams. Burrow is as good as it gets. Their defense was putting relentless pressure on the Ram's Stafford when Seattle's defense couldn't on week one. Despite that I'm pretty confident. We all knew that it would take about four games for all...

    Can the Seahawks compete with the Niners?

    This is a marathon. The only thing you can hang your hat on is change. Do you believe the Seahawks are ascending or descending? Let's revisit this in about 6 weeks. Personally, I think the Cowboys are descending. More like falling off of a cliff. Were they really a true test? I think...

    Hawk's Injury Rate Is 3x's their opponent's rate.

    Every team does not assess injuries the same. Similar to reporting Florida Covid data equivalently to New York Covid data. Sometimes, people have their thumbs on the scales (manipulate data) to deceive their constituents into believing that the hazard isn't as great as it really is. Data is...

    Anyone concerned about JSN ?

    The team is currently in the playoff hunt. Obviously, your fantasy team isn't. I'm more concerned about concern trolls. Discuss.
