The Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are back at it again -- now in the divisional round. Niners fans are somehow confident again, despite a narrow win over the Eagles. Is it because they think Kyle Shanahan rediscovered his good playbook? Or is it because they think Sam Darnold has already lost this game due to a minor injury? Maybe they've already forgotten they've been blaming an electromagnetic substation for team injuries. We take a look at the matchups on both sides and what has changed since Week 18. Trent Williams was back in the lineup against the Eagles, but the Niners lost...

The 49ers moved on and now must face our Seahawks yet again. With each new matchup, the stakes have been higher and higher. We're examining the 49ers reaction to their win in Philly, injury news and updates, and do Vegas oddsmakers know something about this matchup that we don't? As of posting this show, we now know that it will be a 5pm PT start time on Saturday. We discussed whether there would be any added benefit to an evening game. Maybe it was scheduled later to appease Kyle Shanahan since he was already crying about a possible Saturday start time in the Niners postgame press conference...

Our Seattle Seahawks enter the playoffs with a number of players who could become unexpected postseason heroes -- guys who could deliver outsized performances when it matters most. Is there a player on defense who could shadow Rams receiver Puka Nacua? Derek Hall's disruptive presence on the defensive line, despite limited snaps, positions him for a playoff breakout with his speed-to-power rush creating havoc even when sacks don't materialize. Cooper Kupp's regular season numbers don't tell the full story of his impact, but could finally deliver the red zone production Seattle envisioned. We...

As we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Beast Quake, we're also highlighting the season's recent success with the Seahawks run game. Our guest, Coach Derek of All 22 Films, breaks down the key factors driving the ground game's surge. Is Klint Kubiak finally leaning into the strengths that both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet provide to the offense? Additionally, Coach Derek provides insights on a near-perfect blocking execution that have Grey Zabel and Jalen Sundell getting to the second level of the defense. The coach explains a wham trap concept that also features a nice block by...
info_outlineSunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals showed one thing about this Seahawks defense. It's not an issue that can be fixed by a change in defensive coordinator. It's not an issue that can be fixed by the addition of Carlos Dunlap. It's going to take another shift in Pete Carroll's mindset about playing more aggressively in some key moments. Carroll already made the shift on offense, so it's possible this change can happen mid season. We discuss some of the reasons why the change is so important especially with the way the team is operating on offense.
There were some positive takeaways from the game against the Cardinals to discuss. DK Metcalf had an incredible play, but Tyler Lockett caught 15 passes for 200 yards and there's barely been a peep about some of his incredible catches coming out of that game. We also look ahead to the matchup with the San Francisco 49ers and why this game is important to have a bounce back game in the division.
Antonio Brown is going to the Bucs and Pro Football Talk suggested that it was some trick by the Seahawks to offer up fake interest in Brown to help make another team in the league interested. From there the discussion takes a turn to national reporters versus local beat reporters. Congratulations to Deep balls better than rainbows as the pick'em league winner for Week 7.
In Do Better, we call out the inevitable shots that were fired Russell Wilson's direction regarding his MVP candidacy and a strange characterization of the Seahawks acquisition of Carlos Dunlap. Better at life honors go to a neighborly good deed and to our quarterback for continuing to do great things in the community.
