The stupidest name in smart football analysis.
On Saturday night, two candidates for the NFL’s Coach of the Year award entered Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with the NFC’s No. 1 seed on the line. The San Francisco 49ers headman, Kyle Shanahan, stood on one sideline after somehow propelling an injury-riddled 49ers team to a 12-4 season. On the other was […]
In very unsurprising news, Pete Carroll’s Las Vegas Raiders head coaching days are over. The former Seattle Seahawks head coach has been “relieved of his duties” following a brutal 3-14 campaign, the second-worst season by win percentage since the Raiders joined the NFL from the AFL. On the plus side, the Raiders have the No. […]
It was the biggest regular season game in franchise history, and the Seattle Seahawks delivered one of the most impressive defensive statements in franchise history. It was all Seahawks in a 13-3 pummeling that doesn’t accurately show how much Seattle dominated the San Francisco 49ers. After beating big brother number one in the Los Angeles […]
The 2025 NFL regular season is complete, and while the focus for the Seattle Seahawks is on the playoffs and getting to the Super Bowl, we have an idea of which teams they will face when next regular season rolls around. One last piece of the puzzle was the NFC South champion, which was determined […]

The Seattle Seahawks are going to pick 32nd after winning the Super Bowl. Now that we have that out of the way, here is the current NFL Draft order for 2026 and Seattle is still picking 32nd! As a reminder, the order for playoff teams is determined by when they play their last game and […]
The NFL has released the Wild Card schedule to kick off the 2026 playoffs. Thankfully, the Seattle Seahawks have that coveted week off as the number one seed in the NFC. In the meantime, it’s a waiting game over next weekend to figure out which team will come over to Lumen Field for the Divisional […]
A day after the Seattle Seahawks secured the NFC’s 1-seed in the playoffs, they lock up their most consistent and battle-tested offensive lineman. The Hawks and star LT, Charles Cross have agreed to a multi-year deal that will keep him in the Pacific Northwest through the 2030 season. Cross was drafted 9th overall in the […]
The winner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens is heading to the playoffs as AFC North champions. Their reward is taking on the Houston Texans, who boast an elite defense and an improving offense. Pittsburgh could’ve won the AFC North last week by beating the lowly Cleveland Browns. Not only did that not happen, […]
The NFC West wasn’t the only title the Seattle Seahawks locked up this weekend. For the first time in a decade, the Seahawks have won the scoring defense title. That was during a period in which Seattle led the league in fewest points allowed from 2012 through 2015. Heading into the weekend, Seattle and the […]
Rest easy, Seattle Seahawks fans! The first-round bye is secured after the Seahawks won the NFC West over the San Francisco 49ers, so the final Sunday of the 2025 regular season can be watched in peace. There are still some games to pay attention to for the Seahawks and Seahawks fans, whether for this year […]
The Seattle Seahawks’ season is not over. Yet it is already a success. Seattle hired Mike Macdonald to re-establish the franchise back on its rightful perch atop the NFC West, by way of a full defensive makeover. His job was clear: tame the offenses of football’s two pre-eminent masterminds, out-genius the other two geniuses in […]
Earlier this week I wrote a pregame article about the Seahawks season coming full circle in this Week 18 game between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. That couldn’t have been more true with how this contest turned out, a thoroughly dominant 13-3 road victory riddled with missed opportunities that would’ve saved all Seahawks […]
Once again, the Seattle Seahawks came into another stadium held the NFL’s number one offense to single-digit points. The San Francisco 49ers got to stay home and prepare for an entire week, with home-field advantage all the way through the Super Bowl on the line. They scored three points. But take heart! You’re not alone […]
Another undeniably uneven game by the Seattle Seahawks offense coupled with another absolutely dominant performance from the Seattle Seahawks defense delivered a somewhat unsuspected 2025 NFC West title for our favorite team. The ‘Hawks had opportunities to score a bit more than 13 points against the 49ers, and really the game should have been more […]
When the Seattle Seahawks lost to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11, running the table was effectively the only realistic path toward winning the NFC West over the Rams and San Francisco 49ers. That meant winning seven consecutive regular season games for the first time since 2013. They ran the damn table, and all […]
The Seattle Seahawks are NFC West champions after a superb defensive display against the San Francisco 49ers, holding them to just a field goal and 173 yards of total offense in their own building. For the Seahawks, the hope is that it’s the first of two trips to Santa Clara, with the second coming in […]
The Seattle Seahawks made the loudest possible statement with their NFC West title win over the San Francisco 49ers. While the offense may have played much better than the 13 points suggested, the defense was every bit as dominant as the 3 points allowed indicated. For context: Seattle had 180 yards rushing and the 49ers […]
The Seattle Seahawks (14-3) are NFC West champions for the first time since 2020! While Seattle didn’t put up nearly as many points as it should’ve given the offensive performance, the Seahawks defense stifled a red-hot San Francisco 49ers (12-5) offense. Zach Charbonnet’s 27-yard touchdown was the only TD of the game and it was […]
The Seattle Seahawks held all the cards and their path to the one seed in the NFC was there for the taking and they took it. With their win on Saturday, they get a first-round bye and every opponent they face on the path to the Super Bowl will have to hear the 12th man […]
The Seattle Seahawks are dominating the San Francisco 49ers through the first 30 minutes, something we’ve rarely said in recent seasons. It’s only 10-3 at the break. The Seahawks wasted an opening drive with a bad Sam Darnold sack on what should’ve been an easy touchdown to Zach Charbonnet, subsequently failing to convert on 4th […]
The biggest regular season game in Seattle Seahawks history is here. Seattle has had the No. 1 seed three times before, reaching the Super Bowl every time. In none of those previous instances did the Seahawks need to play a “winner take all” regular season finale to clinch the division and the top spot in […]
The Seattle Seahawks inactives have been announced for their NFC West title game against the San Francisco 49ers. As expected, Charles Cross is out for a third straight game due to a hamstring injury, while safety Coby Bryant needs more time for his knee injury to heal. The biggest news is who’s not on the […]
Here we are folks, Week 18 in the 2025 NFL season. After this week, 18 of the league’s teams will not see the light of day in full pads until late July. That is not the case with the two teams playing in the primetime slot on Saturday, January 3rd. The Seattle Seahawks and San […]
The Seattle Seahawks’ rushing attack finally showed signs of life against the Carolina Panthers — but the film tells a more nuanced story than the box score suggests. While the second half felt like a breakthrough, the run game still battled consistency issues early. That contrast is exactly what made this performance so fascinating to […]
