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.

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 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 […]

Remember in Terminator 2 when Arnold Schwarzenegger faces a brutal, shape-shifting antagonist who won’t die? He goes through hell to stave off the enemy and tells him *spoiler alert* “hasta la vista.” Stay with me, because this applies to the Seattle Seahawks hopefully sending their foes to Cancun. Arnold’s T-800 Terminator character was involved in […]
