The stupidest name in smart football analysis.
Maybe it’s overdue, perhaps it’s the perfect time, but it’s finally happened for John Schneider. The longtime Seattle Seahawks general manager has won his first Executive of the Year award, which is voted on by the Professional Football Writers Association (PFWA).

The NFL Honors finalists have been revealed, and there is a significant Seattle Seahawks presence across eight Associated Press awards. Superstar wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is obviously a finalist for Offensive Player of the Year, although the inclusion of MVP contender Drake Maye could significantly hurt his chances of winning. Perhaps that’s a consolation prize […]

The Seahawks arrive at the NFC Championship riding their most complete performance of the season. The Divisional Round tape against the San Francisco 49ers showed a defense capable of controlling games through structure, discipline, and communication, paired with an offense that dictated terms early and finished drives. But there is an important and uncomfortable reminder […]

This is the first time in 11 years that the Seattle Seahawks are playing (and hosting) the NFC Championship Game. When looking at the age of many players on the roster, 11 years is roughly half of their lives. Take Nick Emmanwori for example, who is only 21 years old. This means that the last […]

The Seattle Seahawks have a very lengthy initial injury report for their NFC Championship tilt against the Los Angeles Rams. Not one, not two, but three Seahawks left tackles didn’t practice on Wednesday. Charles Cross, described as “day-to-day” by head coach Mike Macdonald due to a foot injury, was a DNP.

The Seattle Seahawks fielded a surprisingly potent offense during the 2025 season, setting a franchise record for points scored on the season. Much of the credit for the offense being as prolific as it was goes to third year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who finished the regular season with a league-leading 1,793 receiving yards as […]

The Seattle Seahawks need some reinforcements at running back following the season-ending ACL tear suffered by Zach Charbonnet. It looks like some help could be on the way. On Wednesday, ahead of their first practice for the NFC Championship showdown with the Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks designated George Holani for return to practice. He […]

The Seattle Seahawks traded for Rashid Shaheed, presumably, to help make the passing game more explosive. That hasn’t quite materialized yet, and ideally he’s extended soon so we can see him with a full offseason more integrated as a wide receiver. In the meantime, Shaheed has made the once nightmarish Seahawks kick and punt return […]

Zach Charbonnet will not play in the NFC Championship Game, a brutal loss for the Seattle Seahawks. But if there is a silver lining it’s this: Kenneth Walker may finally be ready to shoulder the entire load on his own, helped by two factors. A lighter workload, and a late-season coaching change. Walker played 498 […]

The San Francisco 49ers will be in need of a new defensive coordinator for a fourth consecutive year. With the 49ers now out of the playoffs following their 41-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Divisional Round, it didn’t take long for Robert Saleh to find his second head coaching job. 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 […]

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 […]
