If there’s a divisional matchup that consistently comes down to the margins, it’s the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. The standings matter, the history matters, but what usually decides these games shows up on the All-22: spacing, leverage, timing, and who is forced to abandon their original structure first. Awesome matchup between Sean McVay […]

The Seattle Seahawks are within touching distance of the postseason after a two-year absence. All they have to do is win one of their final three games and they’re all set for more football in January. The Seahawks haven’t lost consecutive games all season, so a full-on collapse would be a shocker despite a difficult […]

The big rematch is finally here, and it’s as important as advertised. The Seattle Seahawks (11-3) and Los Angeles Rams (11-3) are on a collision course to determine the NFC West winner (although the 10-4 San Francisco 49ers are by no means out of the picture).

The game designations for the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams have been made, and while the good news is Seattle only has one player declared out for Thursday’s possible division title decider, the bad news is that player is facing a multi-week injury. Left tackle Charles Cross was always going to be a longshot […]

The Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Indianapolis Colts fits neatly into the category of games where the final score masks a lot of underlying issues. From an All-22 perspective, snap by snap, this was a win built more on competitiveness, defensive execution, and timely plays than on a coherent or efficient offensive performance. In classic […]

Was there any other option for the NFL to choose for the NFC Special Teams Player of the week than Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers? After Myers split the uprights six times on Sunday, including a 56-yard game-winning field goal, to set a franchise record and will the Seahawks past the Indianapolis Colts, you’d be […]

We’re still running off the joyful fumes of a touchdown-less victory over the Indianapolis Colts are we not? I wrote earlier about the struggles on offense being more tied to the line than the quarterback, and that conversation has been full of cheer. That sets us up beautifully for this: The Seattle Seahawks should drastically […]

The Seahawks come to a fitting fork in the road on Thursday Night Football this week. This team will see a chance to avenge a close loss against a division rival perfectly dovetail with the opportunity to stake claim to the #1 seed in the NFC against a Super Bowl contender. With such weighty implications […]

The Cooper Kupp hate is weird, man. The Seattle Seahawks currently utilize Kupp has their WR2 or WR3 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. That’s not his fault – the entire NFL is behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. But all this commentary this season about Kupp “not being the player he once was” is overblown. In fact, an argument exists […]

The Seattle Seahawks haven’t had an actual practice during this short week turnaround to face the Los Angeles Rams. In a world where the Seahawks did do a normal practice, the injury report looks very clean except for one key player: Charles Cross. Seattle’s standout left tackle left Sunday’s 18-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts […]

Well, it wasn’t quite Rocky vs Apollo, but the heavyweight (sorry, that was mean) battle between the Seattle Seahawks’ much maligned kicker and Rivers doing his best Dennis Quaid “The Rookie” impression was some of the best bad football I can remember. It was a historic day in Seattle for a lot of reasons. We […]

The stretch run has arrived and the Seattle Seahawks are getting healthy. In recent weeks several members of the team have returned from injured reserve or, as in the case of rookie Rylie Mills, been activated from the nonfootball injury list. The side effect of that is that the team has needed to create spots […]

The Seattle Seahawks rookie snap count dropped significantly in Week 15, with the group combining for 137 total snaps. That decrease is largely explained by two offensive rookies landing on Injured Reserve (Elijah Arroyo and Tory Horton), Rylie Mills being eased back in with fewer than 10 snaps after a long injury absence, and Robbie […]

Last week, after defeating the Atlanta Falcons in a rather dominant manner, the Seahawks maintained the same average power ranking. Could a sloppy victory over grandfather, Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts potentially drop the Seahawks down? Surprisingly, the five national media sites did not overreact to the close game against the Colts. Of the […]

Alrighty, this is a weird one. The Seattle Seahawks narrowly beat the Indianapolis Colts, so this is as close to doing an Enemy Reaction for a Seahawks loss as I’ve ever come. Not that the Seahawks haven’t had close wins before, but the thought of losing to 44-year-old Philip Rivers at quarterback as a two-touchdown […]
