The San Francisco 49ers will be in need of a new defensive coordinator for a fourth consecutive year.

He’s set […]

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 141 snaps in the NFC Divisional Round romp of the San Francisco 49ers. That number was inflated by garbage-time reps in the fourth quarter. It’s also important to remember that the Seahawks currently have two rookies on Injured Reserve and had four rookies inactive for this game as healthy […]

Head coach Mike Macdonald also called starting left tackle Charles Cross “day-to-day” with a foot injury. Cross started the Divisional Game against the San Francisco 49ers […]

Unfortunately, Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald’s initial optimism that running back Zach Charbonnet’s injury was not serious was merely optimism. The reality is that Charbonnet, who led all Seahawks players with 12 touchdowns scored, will not play again this season. Coach Macdonald confirmed on his weekly Seattle Sports 710 radio appearance that Charbonnet’s knee […]

The Seattle Seahawk should’ve won by way more than 10 points in their Week 18 win over the San Francisco 49ers. I’d say they made up for it in the Divisional Round, winning 41-6 and sending the Niners into the offseason. It’s not only the worst loss of the Kyle Shanahan era, it’s the second-worst […]

The Seattle Seahawks will be hosting the NFC Championship Game next Sunday after soundly defeating the San Francisco 49ers. As for who they’ll face next? We’ve still yet to figure that one out.

Thirteen seconds to victory. The Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers played out the remaining 59:47, out of sportsmanship, and also because Fox had sold a boatload of ads. But the Niners would never reach seven points and the Seahawks would never look back. The objects in the rear view mirror would only get smaller […]

Lost in the shuffle of the weekend, sandwiched in between a Sam Darnold oblique injury and a 41-6 desecration of the Bay Area, a head coaching hire took place. One with at least some potential implications to the Seattle Seahawks. The Atlanta Falcons hired Kevin Stefanski, becoming the second franchise to fill their vacancy and […]

The Seattle Seahawks are one win away from the Super Bowl. I repeat, the Seattle Seahawks are one win away from the Super Bowl. On Saturday night, the Seahawks took a banged up 49ers squad to the wood shed, putting an epic 41-6 beat down double tap on the “faithful.” It was a special night […]

Well that was easy, wasn’t it? The Seattle Seahawks destroyed the San Francisco 49ers from the opening kickoff until the final whistle. A 41-6 thumping unlike anything Kyle Shanahan has ever experienced in nine seasons as 49ers head coach. Seattle hadn’t won a playoff game since the 2019 season, hadn’t won a home playoff game […]

That was supremely satisfying. Mike Macdonald loves his rallying cries, whether it’s “12 as one”, “Chasing Edges,” or “E.A.T.”. I’ve got another one for the Seattle Seahawks after that 41-6 dismantling of the San Francisco 49ers in the Division Round – Professional Destruction. Those two words embody Macdonald’s vision for the team and perfectly encapsulate […]

As sweet as that 41-6 thrashing of the San Francisco 49ers by the Seattle Seahawks felt, there was some significant history made in the game. The 35-point Seahawks win was their largest margin of victory in the playoffs, tied with their Super Bowl 48 win over the Denver Broncos (43-8). Seattle also handed 49ers head […]

The Seattle Seahawks received the opening kickoff and proceeded to whoop the San Francisco 49ers straight out of the 2026 NFL Playoffs. Rashid Shaheed’s 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown set the tone for an “all three phases” masterclass by the Seahawks in front of a raucous Lumen Field crowd. By the end of the […]
