Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Each week we ask questions of the most plugged-in NFL fans and fans across the country.

John Schneider can answer a Seahawks draft ‘What If?’ by trading for Arnold Ebiketie
Maybe I shouldn’t admit it, but I’ve always been an Arnold Ebiketie guy. Way back in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks headed into the second round with picks No. 40 and 41 with their eyes on a pass rusher. As you can probably guess, my personal preference was for Arnold Ebiketie out of […]

Seahawks add veteran free agent tight end
It’s the bye week for the Seattle Seahawks, meaning a relaxed weekend of football without the stress of “enjoying” a Seahawks game for Seattle fans. However, even though the team is not on the field, the front office staff remains hard at work, especially with the trade deadline looming just over the horizon on Tuesday, […]
Seahawks All-22 review: Offensive line woes, defensive masterpiece vs. Texans
In my preview for this game, I wrote about why I thought this would be a tough game. The Seattle Seahawks managed to make it tough for themselves against the Houston Texans, but for other reasons. A strip-sack in the end zone, three turnovers, and still struggling in the running game. The defense kept us […]

The case for making Sam Darnold the Seahawks’ long-term quarterback
The Seattle Seahawks are steamrolling towards a quarterback controversy. Well, if things continue at their current trajectory, it won’t be much of a controversy at all. But Seattle’s positioned itself for a very different future at QB than nearly anyone would have predicted six months ago. “With the 92nd pick of the 2025 NFL draft, […]
Vikings at Chargers live discussion: Check out Sam Darnold’s former team
The Minnesota Vikings have already lost as many games as they did all of the 2024 season, when Sam Darnold was their starting quarterback. J.J. McCarthy has been out since Week 3 and otherwise is 1-1 in his young career. Carson Wentz has deputized for him and the results have been as Wentz-ian as you […]
Commanders star Jayden Daniels out vs. Chiefs, status for Seahawks game uncertain
On Thursday, the Washington Commanders announced that quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out for the team’s Monday Night Football contest against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a recent hamstring injury.

Seahawks release veteran tight end
On Monday night the Seattle Seahawks dispatched the Houston Texans 27-19 in a game that did not feel anywhere near as close as the final score.

Four Down Territory: Seahawks play with their food, almost choke on it
To ease the pain of all Mariners fans, the Seattle Seahawks came out flying on Monday Night Football in the first 20 minutes, before trying everything possible to give the game to the Houston Texans.

Why Mike Macdonald feels he must protect the Seahawks from himself
The Seattle Seahawks defense dismantled the Houston Texans on Monday night. Things like 31 yards allowed to running backs, 10 tackles for loss, and 12 passes defensed, you know. Just a normal day in Mike Macdonald land. Anybody who watched the game knows the score and discrepancy should have been an avalanche, had the refs […]

Russell Wilson publicly calls out ‘classless’ Sean Payton on social media
It’s safe to say that the Russell Wilson/Sean Payton beef still exists. The Seattle Seahawks great and former Denver Broncos quarterback left the Broncos on bad terms after he was benched by Sean Payton with two weeks left in the 2023 regular season. Denver wasn’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet, but reportedly the Broncos […]

Ted’s Talk: Defense bails out rest of Seahawks in unbelievably stupid win over Texans
First things first, I want no part of any of these late kickoff games during the regular season. It’s bad enough that they have them during the preseason, we don’t need them when the games actually count. The way the Seattle Seahawks played against the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football didn’t help. Yes, Seattle […]
