The Morning After: Lock Makes His Case

Quarterback discourse is a minefield in the NFL. The position has such an outsized impact on the sport that entire careers are built around evaluating their play. Analysts and fans build their perspectives at different stages. Some, follow players through college and predict who will succeed in the NFL....

Tale of the Tape: Chiefs Present Rough Matchup

The last time Kenneth Walker III carried the ball for the Seahawks, he ran for 135 yards in the Super Bowl and walked off the field as its MVP. A few weeks earlier, he scored three touchdowns in the 41-6 rout of the 49ers that started the whole run....

The Morning After: Scuffling Offense Dooms Seahawks

The Seahawks are in trouble. It would be easy to look at a close loss to the undefeated 49ers and come to the conclusion that they are just a few adjustments away from being the best team in football. Try not throwing an interception on your first pass attempt...

Tale of the Tape: Seahawks vs Chargers

Two teams enter Lumen Field coming off losses they believe should have been wins. The Chargers blew a lead and five takeaways in Buffalo to drop their third straight game to start the season. Seattle fell to a woeful Commanders team that made the big plays in the big...

Tale of the Tape: New Faces For Seahawks & Bears

Eight days ago, the Seahawks looked lost. Four straight weeks of turnovers, quick pressure and stalled drives had people wondering what was left of the offense that won a Super Bowl. Then Seattle held Patrick Mahomes and the unbeaten Chiefs to 3 points. Kansas City never ran a play...

The Morning After: Mile Low In Denver

Mike Macdonald has faced challenges before. He had a defense that was malfunctioning during his first season as head coach in Seattle. His offense was both ineffective and divergent from the identity he wanted. Macdonald established the concept of “chasing edges,” from the moment he arrived in the northwest....

Tale of the Tape: Seahawks vs 49ers

Here we are again. Seahawks versus 49ers. One team enters undefeated. The other team enters with a dust-free Lombardi Trophy. Whichever team wins will leave in first place in the NFL’s toughest division and have an inside track to staying there. A loss dooms neither team, but would put...

The Morning After: Seahawks Fumble Away Game In DC

It has been nearly a year since Seahawks fans woke up the day after a game with that losing feeling. Twelve straight wins, including a Super Bowl title, somehow does little to dull the sting of dropping a game, especially against a vastly inferior opponent. The last time a...

The Morning After: Salvation On Sunday Night

The days are getting shorter in the Pacific Northwest. Rain has started to fall. It is the gloomy period that keeps most people away from this region, and what makes it lush with vibrant green forests and endless rivers and lakes. What scares others, draws us here. Making it...

Tale of the Tape: Seahawks vs Broncos

Pain is a part of the NFL. The Seahawks are dealing with the physical and emotional toll of an intense divisional loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Their schedule does them no favors by sending them on the road for a Thursday Night Football game against a rugged, if...

The Morning After: Seahawks Have Yet To Run It Forward

Mike Macdonald was clear that he did not want the 2026 Seahawks squad to live in the past. There would be no talk of defending their Super Bowl championship, and the notion of “running it back” was replaced with the notion of “running it forward.” The idea was that...

Tale of the Tape: Seahawks Face Depleted Commanders

Superstition creeps into the minds of many passionate fans. They tell themselves not to look past the upcoming opponent. They retreat to “any given Sunday” coaching tropes. All of those instincts come from the experience of seeing their favorite team fall to a lesser foe. It is painful. It...
