We all saw the invasion of opposing fans at Lumen Field. I wrote about the factors contributing to the erosion of home field advantage across the league. I want to help the Seahawks have as many home fans in the stadium as possible for the close of this season. To...
Rites of passage differ among different cultures, religions, and regions. All are meant to mark important moments of growth that come with heightened expectations. Mike Macdonald welcomed his son, Jack David Macdonald, into the world this week. There may be a christening in his future. His football sons won’t have...
I am biased. Let’s get that out of the way from the start. Ryan Grubb was my first choice to take over the offensive coordinator position this season. I celebrated when he was hired. That optimism seemed well founded when the offense purred like a sports car during training camp....
Fans will not see 3rd and 1 running plays that gain 2 yards on SportsCenter very often. Someone watching football for the first time sees those plays where a mass of humanity collides with very little movement, and wonder how this game has become so popular. There is little sex...
It is rare to face the same twice in three weeks in the NFL. Having that team be your chief competition for the division title is even more unique. Seattle will try for a home-and-away sweep of the Arizona Cardinals in a game that very well could decide the NFC...
There are moments in life where you do everything right and still do not get the outcome you hoped for. There are even more moments where you make one mistake, and that is enough to cost you the result you were after. You may get lucky now and then when...
I started this blog in 2007 with a simple goal of finding people who shared my outsized passion for the Seattle Seahawks. Eighteen years later, I made the decision to turn this into my full-time job. A non-negotiable aspect of that decision was to keep charity and giving as a...
The game against the Jets was one of those high variance matchups when the NFL schedule was released. Aaron Rodgers was set to finally play and possibly power what had been a terrible offense to at least respectability while the defense was in the conversation for best in the NFL....
It almost a writer’s obligation to make reference to the bomb cyclone and resulting power outage in the Seattle area when talking about this Seahawks game, so let’s get it all out of our system in the opening paragraph. Reports that Puget Sound Energy has reached out to the Seahawks...
Election season is over, but there is an approval poll that still caught my attention. I occasionally ask people on Twitter to vote on the job performance of the three most important figures in the football organization: the general manager, the head coach, and the quarterback. The results are meant...
The Arizona Cardinals are a joke. They have almost 100 more losses than the nearest NFL franchise, and the 3rd-lowest winning percentage, ahead of only the Jaguars and the Bucs. They have never won a Super Bowl and only appeared in one. It is almost impossible to be this irrelevant...
Seahawks fans have heard for the last 14 years that you cannot win a game in the first quarter. Mike Macdonald’s Seahawks may have won a game on the first possession. You might even argue he won it on the first play. The San Francisco 49ers have dominated the match-up...
