    Cooper Kupp signed

    If he can stay healthy, it's a great move. The key question is: Can Cooper stay healthy. If he can, he's poised to have a great year with Darnold tossing that rock.

    Sam Darnold To Sign With The Seahawks

    As a 49er fan, I feel sick about this. I think it's a good move by the Seahawks. Geno Smith was never going to take your team anywhere. You had seen the best he had to offer. The 49er defense collapsed last season, yet it still took a last second luck play from Geno to beat a pretty bad SF team...

    Mike and his Run D

    Been there. Know that feeling. Know it all too well. Been rooting for the 49ers for a very long time. I have lived through "the bad years." Seattle isn't bad. They're not great. Not yet. They could be. But they're not quite there yet. Hang in there. Season is young. I know this hurts. But...

    Question for the Geno apologists

    To be honest? Brutally honest? I don't think Geno is the answer either. I think he's just good enough to get the Seahawks beat. Great QB's, however, do not grow on trees. Replacing a winner like Wilson at QB, who single-handedly made my life miserable for darn near a full decade, is not easy...

    Mike and his Run D

    If Seattle had done that, put more guys in the box as you mention, Purdy would have sliced your defense up like a Thanksgiving turkey. Period. End of story. Purdy has been doing that since he entered the starting lineup. Blitz the guy and he will positively torch you. That said? The 49ers...

    Question for the Geno apologists

    I know the general feeling is to throw Geno under the bus for this one, but he's not the reason that the Seahawks lost. The Seahawks lost because they allowed the 49ers to march up and down the field and score points at a frightening pace. What else is Geno going to do? Hand the ball off to...

    Does Defense still win championships?

    Good point. Not just beat them, but beat them like a drum and physically beat up on the Huskies.

    Carroll Out As Head Coach

    You may be correct about the rivalry-speak statement. You are also correct with the thinking that, as a 49er fan, I vastly enjoyed the way Kyle Shanahan just stuck it to the Seahawks over the past two seasons. 5-0. Smells great, baby. At the same time, AROS, I think you would be the first to...

    Carroll Out As Head Coach

    Probably because there are a number of Seahawks.net members who post on the 49ER board. The Seattle Seahawks thread on the 49er Webzone, established in 2016, has blown past 1,000 pages. Many of those pages come from Seahawks.net members who have come to gloat, cast shame or simply have a good...

    Carroll Out As Head Coach

    You and I will have to agree to disagree. Respectfully of course. Harbaugh was a lame duck coach in his final year. Everyone knew it. The team reacted to it. That isn't Harbaugh's fault. It also wasn't Harbaugh's fault that a massive number of those players chose to retire following Harbaugh's...

    Carroll Out As Head Coach

    Saving grace? You mean CAPTAIN BLIGH is now in charge? You call that "saving grace?" Really? Carroll HIRED the guy. Pete Carroll gave the unknown Schneider his shot back when Paul Allen put this all together. But now it appears that Schneider has been whispering sweet nothings to sister Jody...

    Seahawks new head coach next year...

    Perhaps this is the next big announcement. A sale is coming?

    Carroll Out As Head Coach

    Agreed. This is what 49er fans prayed for in 2005, and it's exactly what they got when the team brought in Mike Nolan. What followed is eight years of pure HADES. Not one winning season. Not one playoff berth. We got three seasons of redemption with Harbaugh, but got sent right back to Purgatory...

    Most Thrilling and Satisfying Win of the Year

    Congrats Hawks fans. 49er fans love you to death at the moment!

    Draft A Potential Franchise QB In April

    OK. This is where I agree to disagree. Do the Seahawks need to draft a QB? YES THEY DO. Should they waste a first round pick on that QB? NO THEY SHOULD NOT. Was Russell Wilson a first round pick? He was not. How about the KING of Super Bowl Championships, Tom Brady? He was a fifth round, throw...

    Aros' Fearless Prediction Thread (vs Eagles)

    I'm with Aros on this one. Pete Carroll is one heck of a coach, and he will have this team ready to rumble. Plus, the Seahawks are not out of the playoff picture, not by a longshot. They will make it as a wild card entry of course, and that may earn them a rematch with San Francisco down the...

    Aros' Fearless Prediction Thread (vs 49ers)

    It was a thing of beauty, I must admit. It wasn’t just payback for what took place nine years ago in SF. The 49ers really rubbed this one in. I hope every Seahawk diehard saw it. I can tell you, from experience, that it is a horrible nightmare that does not fade over time. It will stay with...

    Poll is it really as bad as it looked or just a bump in the road

    With all due respect (you are the Admin after all), I will admit that you might be correct. But, I honestly do not see it. Most backup QB's are backups for a reason. Not all of them. But, for a lot of them, there's a reason why they sat on the bench. As a 49er fan I do not like this. I miss...

    Pete needs to be fired immediately

    Horrible take. PC doesn't select the players he has been given. He doesn't have much in the way of talent to work with. He's been given the rather impossible task to somehow make a career backup QB look and play like Russell Wilson. That's not happening. I don't know who made the decision to...

    Poll is it really as bad as it looked or just a bump in the road

    Tough year for the Seahawks. Bad defense. Bad QB. No real threats on offense other than a decent WR corps. But who is going to consistently get the ball to them? Geno Smith? A career backup? I don't think so.
