Tale of the Tape: Vikings Strengths Are Seahawks Weak Spots

Most of these previews have gone below the surface to find subtleties and nuances to the upcoming game you might not find elsewhere. Not this week. Minnesota comes to town winners of seven straight and tied for the best record in the NFC. They are among the most imposing defenses...

The Morning After: Seahawks Slide Back Into The Mediocre Muck

I was never much of a Charlie Brown guy. I would watch it now and then out of pure boredom, and somehow became more bored during the show. Some of the characters were memorable, though. Linus, with his blanket. Schroeder, with his tiny piano. One recurring bit involved Lucy holding...

Warring Early Down Strategies On Display When Packers Face Seahawks

Watch a football game in any era and any level, and you are likely to hear conversation about third down. It is the pivotal down that often determines whether your team keeps the ball or ends their drive. Coaches have made careers devising excellent third down strategies on offense and...

Tale of the Tape: Strength vs Strength When Packers Travel to Seattle

The Seahawks defense has been nearly unrecognizable since Week 9 after a series of personnel changes and some schematic tweaks transformed it into one of the best defenses in football. Going from terrible to terrific that fast can leave many opponents and national media out of touch with what is...

Seahawks Fan Ticket Registry

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...

The Morning After: Seahawks Impose Will, Sweep Away Cardinals 30-18

Rites of passage differ among different cultures, religions, and regions. All are meant to mark important moments of growth that come with heightened expectations.

The Complicated Case of Ryan Grubb

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....

Short Yardage Woes Plaguing Seahawks

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...

Tale of the Tape: Seahawks and Cardinals Feature Underrated Defenses

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...

Tale of the Tape: Seahawks Must Avoid Trap Game Versus Jets

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....
