Seahawks vs. Rams inactives: Charles Cross, Davante Adams both out

The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams have announced their inactives for their gigantic Week 16, potentially No. 1 seed deciding showdown at Lumen Field.

Behind Seahawks enemy lines, Week 16 preview: Can Seattle get revenge on the Rams?

If there’s a divisional matchup that consistently comes down to the margins, it’s the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams.

Seahawks All-22 review: The good and bad from Seattle’s close win vs. Colts

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 […]

Jason Myers brings home NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

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 […]

The Seahawks should abandon the run game to win the division

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 […]

Everyone is wrong about Cooper Kupp

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 […]

Four Down Territory: Jason Myers beats Philip Rivers, 18-16

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 […]

Seahawks waive core special teamer

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 […]

Seahawks All-22 review: The good and bad from Seattle’s rookies vs. Colts

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 […]
