Dan Quinn Is Better Than You Think
January 28, 2024 21:51Something incredibly rare is happening in Seattle this year. The Seahawks are conducting a broad and thorough search for a new head coach. How rare is that? Pete Carroll has been the coach for 14 years. He was selected without a broad search. The prior coach was Jim Mora Jr. He was groomed as part of Mike Holmgren’s staff and was hired without a broad search. Holmgren was the coach for the prior 10 years, and he too, was not […]

Head coaching intel: Ranking best options to replace Carroll
January 18, 2024 21:22The Seahawks are doing something they haven’t done since the 1990s — a legitimate head coaching search. The three previous head coaches — Pete Carroll, Jim Mora, and Mike Holmgren — were either handpicked ahead of time by ownership or in Mora’s case, were predetermined as the successor, which ultimately worked out horribly. If it wasn’t clear in what I thought was a pretty illuminating press conference (I know others felt differently), John Schneider made it clear he is going […]
Previewing Potential Cap Casualties for the Seahawks in ’24
January 15, 2024 18:09Before we dive into offseason roster talk, I just want to get something off my chest… It’s a bizarre time to be a Seahawks fan. This past week was a whirlwind of emotion. The last time Pete Carroll wasn’t the Head Coach of the Seattle Seahawks, I was a freshman in high school. I was a literal child. Fourteen years later, here we are. I’m about to enter my 30s, and life looks completely different. Pete being gone doesn’t feel […]

The Morning After: Seahawks End Monotonous Season, Beat Cards 21-20
January 08, 2024 15:55Game Rating Offense Defense Special Teams Coaching Reader Rating16 Votes 2.3 One of the many lessons I have learned in writing this blog is that people value hope far more than hard truth. I am not immune. Even during down times, I get annoyed when I read or hear someone pick against the Seahawks. My goal has always been to reach an honest evaluation of my favorite team, but I have tried to be thoughtful about stepping on people’s hope […]

The Morning After: Perennially Tough Steelers Bring Hard Hats to Town
December 27, 2023 15:47The Steelers and the Seahawks are similar and quite different. Both teams have a head coach who has managed to field a competitive team nearly every season under their watch. Both coaches emphasize strong defense and the run game. Only the Steelers actually back up that emphasis with some genuine toughness. It has been years since anyone could characterize the Seahawks as a tough team. Seattle has playmakers and a talented quarterback. Pittsburgh has an awful quarterback room and few […]

Not to celebrate thrilling victories, or to dive into the detail of a playoff chase. No, I started writing this blog because the pain of a Seahawks loss was so great that I wanted to research every detail that could help me brace for a loss before it occurred.

Tale of the Tape: Titans Plenty Good Enough to Challenge Seahawks
December 20, 2023 16:11Your team just took down the defending NFC Champs with your backup quarterback. Of course they should win against the hapless 5-9 Titans playing their backup quarterback, right? Nothing will come easy for these Seahawks. There has been nothing about the Seattle season to suggest they can feel comfortable against any opponent. The Titans have rebounded a bit from a 3-7 start to win two of their last four games, with their only two losses coming in overtime. One of […]

December 19, 2023 15:26Game Rating Offense Defense Special Teams Coaching Reader Rating12 Votes 3.5 This was supposed to be one of the toughest matchups of the season when the schedule was announced. Seattle would host the defending NFC champions after gauntlet of games against the 49ers and Cowboys. It certainly did not look any easier when the Eagles started 10-1, with their latest will coming in a 37-34 comeback against the Buffalo Bills. That, after beating the Cowboys and winning on the road […]

Tale of the Tape: Geno Smith and Devon Witherspoon Health Key Versus Eagles
December 13, 2023 15:40For the first time in a month, the Seahawks have a legitimate shot to win a football game. That might be surprising to read, knowing the defending NFC champs are coming to town and the Seahawks are nursing a four-game losing streak. What you may not know is the Eagles have a defense that actually ranks lower than the highway known as the Seahawks defense. They allow more points (28th in the NFL), a higher passer rating (30th), fewer sacks […]
The Morning After: Seahawks Fall Further in 28-16 Loss to 49ers
December 11, 2023 16:31Game Rating Offense Defense Special Teams Coaching Reader Rating17 Votes 1.9 There are many ways to measure progress as an NFL team. The most common measure is wins. Another common measure is how far a team makes it in the playoffs. Some will look at whether the offense has stepped forward, or the defense. You can even get down to the minutiae of talent and performance of various position groups or individual positions. The 2023 season was set up to […]

December 01, 2023 15:51Game Rating Offense Defense Special Teams Coaching Reader Rating13 Votes 3.1 It is probably a bad sign that a loss on the road felt like a highpoint for Seahawks fans in the last month. Lowered expectations will do that. A Seahawks offense that was hopeless, helpless, and hapless for much of the season, burst out of the gates and barely slowed down on their second straight Thursday night game against an NFC powerhouse. Geno Smith was masterful in a game […]

Tale of the Tape: Cowboys Should Win Easily Versus Seahawks
November 29, 2023 14:50It is rare to have one team favored in every statistic tracked on offense and defense in the Tale of the Tape. So rare, I’m not sure when the last time was that it happened. The Cowboys enter this game with that sort of advantage against the reeling Seattle Seahawks. The point spread reflects that, as Seattle is a massive 9 point underdog, an even larger spread than the 49ers enjoyed before their 31-13 shellacking. My goal in these previews […]

Tale of the Tape: Special Performance Necessary to Beat Cocky 49ers
November 22, 2023 19:30There was a time when the Seahawks were the most confident and physical roster in the NFL. Those were fun times. They are also a pretty distant memory. It is the 49ers who have managed to rediscover the intimidation and cockiness that comes with immense talent and unbridled physicality that they had back when these two teams clashed a decade ago. Seattle has some quality players and ascending youngsters. The 49ers have almost nothing but quality players and litany of […]

November 20, 2023 16:25Game Rating Offense Defense Special Teams Coaching Reader Rating13 Votes 2.5 The Seahawks are mediocre. Again. There is plenty to talk about regarding to the details of a game with a script so tortuous, Jigsaw was cribbing notes for his next captive. Starting there, though, would miss the story that matters most. Seattle is now 22-22 over the past three seasons. That record is almost certainly going to dip below .500 over the next few weeks.

Tale of the Tape: Seahawks Have Much to Prove in LA
November 15, 2023 15:37It is rare that a 6-3 team enters a game against a 3-6 team that has lost three straight with basically even odds to win. Such is the reality when the Seahawks face the Rams. The narrative among Seahawks fans is that Sean McVay owns Pete Carroll. The reality is that Jeff Fisher did better considering the talent disparity. McVay has almost always had a major talent advantage, where Fisher was largely the opposite. Fisher tormented Carroll with special teams […]
