Seahawks Come Back, Then Give It Back: A Pick Dooms Us in Denver

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks remain winless at Mile High since 2006 after a TNF loss vs the the Broncos. Jaxon Smith-Njigba put on another clinic, but Sam Darnold couldn't take care of the football when it mattered most. Our defense held Bo Nix to 107 passing yards and kept handing the offense chances, but two Sam Darnold interceptions, a Rashid Shaheed fumble, a missed field goal, and a handful of drive-extending penalties were too much to overcome. JSN was basically the whole offense with 12 catches for 134 yards. We dig into the run game without Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price, a rough day for...

Seahawks vs Broncos: Week 6 Game News, Notes, and Top Predictions

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks are about to kick off against the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, and we're fired up! Denver is missing Pat Surtain II and Talanoa Hufanga, so how much does a banged-up secondary open the door for Sam Darnold and our passing game? Our own inactive list has a big one, too: Drake Thomas is out, Tyrice Knight steps in, and we weigh what we gain and what we lose at linebacker. Is Zach Charbonnet's return really around the corner, and just how excited should we be on a scale of one to 12? Finally, our picks: from Bo Nix's completions to Jaxon Smith-Njigba's catches...

What If?... The Seahawks Can Win By A Mile in Denver

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks head to Mile High to face the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, and our offense badly needs to start soaring. It's a short week, so there's no time to dwell on that loss to the 49ers. We map out what has to go right: slowing down Zach Allen and Nik Bonitto, finding yards in the run game with Zach Charbonnet still out, and getting Jaxon Smith-Njigba free against a banged-up Denver secondary. Can our offensive line hold up, and does Sean Payton, back to calling the plays for Denver make this offense scarier? We also read the wishes from the Flock, make a few wishes...

Sam Darnold, RB Fumbles or the O-Line? Choosing Our Biggest Seahawks Concern

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks dropped a 32-29 heartbreaker to the San Francisco 49ers, so what is the real problem with our Seahawks? We asked the Flock in a YouTube poll (Sam Darnold's turnovers, O-line regression, JSN or bust, or a running back room we can't trust) and then went straight to the tape. Why did Sam stare down a double-covered Shaheed with Barner wide open? And why on Earth did we run a wide zone play from our own four with the half winding down instead of just taking a knee? We also break down one of the runs from a three tight end set that worked before we ditched it. There were some...

Seahawks vs Niners Postgame: A Turnover Fest Turns South

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks lost 32-29 to the San Francisco 49ers, and our Seahawks gave this one away! Four turnovers, a fumble that never should have happened before halftime, and a last drive that stalled at midfield. How do you give up that many easy points and still have a shot at the end? We break down Sam Darnold's turnover problem, Byron Murphy's monster day, Mike Evans torching Josh Jobe, and the Cooper Kupp fourth-down spot everyone is asking about. We also get into when it really would be time to call for Drew Lock, and whether a healthy run game fixes this offense. The 49ers are two games...

Seahawks vs Niners: Week 5 Game News, Notes, and Top Predictions

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers at Lumen Field tomorrow, and we're taking a look at the injury report before game day. Leonard Williams has no injury designation after coming out of the game with an ankle injury and Ty Okada is set to play. We finally get both starting safeties on the field together! The Niners? They're without Nick Bosa and Kyle Juszczyk, and Upton Stout is a question mark in the middle of the field. So is this really a new 49ers offense just because Mike Evans? We aren't buying it, and we'll tell you why. Plus, the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade news out of the...

What If?... The Seahawks Can 'Prove It' Against the Undefeated Niners

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday, and this one's a big game! The Niners are undefeated. Our Seahawks are the champs. So who proves it? We go through six "prove it" questions on this week's show. Can our run game be a positive influence? Can our pass rush get home against that top-ranked O-line? Who still has a lot to prove? What does Sam Darnold need to improve? Which pass-catching group is the best in the game? And how do our DBs make the Brock Purdy MVP talk look a little presumptive? Finally, we read your wishes from the Flock, make our own (a Devon Witherspoon...

509: Seahawks Running Back Panic, 49ers Rolling Into Seattle on Cloud Nine

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers this week, and we can't wait to destroy the delusion that is fueling the Niners fanbase. Are the Niners really that good? Or have they just feasted on a soft schedule? We break it all down. Our offense is still near the bottom of the league on third down, there's real running back panic after the Jadarian Price injury and the Joe Mixon attempted signing, and it appears that letting Kenneth Walker walk was a mistake. Have you heard that Brock Purdy hasn't been sacked yet? There's a reason for it that we get into and it's not likely to remain...

3 IN, 3 OUT: Do the Seahawks Have a Fleury Problem?

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 to move to 3-1, but a bunch of you are already asking the same question: do we have a Brian Fleury problem? So we went to the tape. Thirty points. Three games in a row. Is that really a problem? On offense our wide zone looked great when it was clicking, Defensively, Drake Thomas played football exactly the way we like to watch it, and on special teams Jason Myers had a couple of kicks that had us fuming. Add in a Nehemiah Pritchett pass breakup, a preview of what life without Leonard Williams would look like, and one Sam Darnold...

A Flagtastic Finish: Seahawks Survive the Flags in a Sloppy Game

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks offense was scoreless in the fourth quarter as the defense gave up 10 points to make it an all-to-close finish against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 30-23 victory moves the Seahawks to 3-1 ahead of next week's divisional matchup with the undefeated San Francisco 49ers. We go through Sam Darnold's game versus the Chargers defense, some of the throws he missed and what we saw from the interception that started his day. Despite the early turnover, it was three turnovers by the Seahawks defense after that moment that helped swing the game in Seattle's favor, particularly the...

The Seattle Seahawks are 3-0 for the first time since 2013. So why does it feel different three games into the season than it did back then? One difference is that Russell Wilson has now set himself apart from the league and has some of the best weapons on offense of his career. But the defense has given up more passing yards to opponents than any other team in history.

The 2011 Patriots and Packers and the 2018 Chiefs were playoff teams that had similar issues in the secondary through the first three games and went on two win a lot of regular season games. We take a look at what that means historically for a team's Super Bowl chances. We also get into the highlights from the last game against the Cowboys, the players who stood out, and some of the strange moments from Sunday's game.

Sam Marcoux of the Perfectville Podcast joins us to preview Sunday's matchup with the Miami Dolphins. While Ryan Fitzpatrick may not be quite at the level of quarterback's the Seahawks have faced in the first three weeks, he has some significant weapons at receiver and had no problem torching the Jacksonville Jaguars defense on Thursday Night Football. Sam tells us why Seahawks fans should be crossing their fingers that his post-game attire is a red Hawaiian shirt.

Congratulations go out to pick'em winners from the last two weeks. Sideline Sockeye for Week 2 and Unlimited Flocker for Week 3.

In the Do Better segment, we learn there's a canary in the coal mine when it comes to finding power rankings that you should ignore. We also learn that Cowboys fans can tend to get litigious when their team is losing. Better at life honors go to Bills fans for coming up with an easy way to create Josh Allen apologies and to former Seahawks receiver Jermaine Kearse who announced his retirement this week.
