Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans
Following Wild Card weekend, we kick off a discussion about the winning quarterbacks in the playoffs and how they compare to Geno Smith and the Seahawks. Should the Seahawks should consider changes based on these performances? Is having a mobile quarterback in the NFL necessary for Seattle to stay competitive. Coaching is the focus of the another topic, as the guys break down what the Seahawks should look for in a new offensive coordinator. With names like Klint Kubiak and Grant Udinsky in the mix, it's looking like head coach Mike Macdonald is less interested in bringing in a senior play...

info_outline 456: Time to Tear it Down or Double DownSea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans
As the Seahawks wrap up their season with Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, we debate the merits of closing out the season with a win, even if it's against a Rams team playing for nothing. Looking ahead to the offseason, there are two primary paths that make the most sense the Seahawks: tearing it down to focus on a rebuild or doubling down and sticking with a big part of the current roster. We talk about the key players, potential roster moves, and whether or not either option features offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. Coach Mike Macdonald says there are a handful of players who...
info_outline Seahawks Defense Shines, But Offense Struggles in Rainy ChicagoSea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans
Join us for a post-game breakdown after the Seahawks less-than-stellar win over the Bears. Winning is still better than losing, especially when it results in a winning season overall for 2024. We dive into the defensive showcase that held the Bears to just three points, and take a look at the offensive strategy that looked like it was set up for success in the second half. Despite the win, the frustration with the offense and the debate over Geno Smith's performance continues.

info_outline Seahawks Playoff Hopes Are Now in PerilSea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans
Another tough week for Seattle Seahawks fans after our team lost to the Minnesota Vikings 27-24, putting any playoff hopes in serious jeopardy. We break down the game, and discuss how our Seahawks had a lead but couldn't hold onto it in the fourth quarter. Despite a promising comeback led by Geno Smith, the offense struggled with balance and timely penalties. Justin Jefferson torched the Seahawks defensive backs for two touchdowns, while DK Metcalf was held relatively in check by the Vikings defense. With the loss, the Seahawks playoff hopes now rest on the Arizona Cardinals being able to beat...
info_outline 455: Seahawks Infuriating Packers Loss, Vikings Trap Game Ahead?Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans
The Seahawks suffered an infuriating loss to the Packers on Sunday, but it did bring some clarity on changes that need to be made in the offseaon (if not sooner). We take a look at what went wrong with the team in their slow start and what kept them from coming back despite having the opportunity, in part thanks to the defense for bouncing back in the second half. However, the offense remained a disaster throughout, exacerbated by Geno Smith's injury and the decision to put Sam Howell into chucker mode . Looking ahead, we take a look at the upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings....
info_outline Prime Time Pummeling: What We Learned From This Measuring StickSea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans
The Seahawks suffered a tough loss to the Packers, falling 30-13 in a game that highlighted some of the strengths and weaknesses of the team. After quickly falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter, the game felt like a slow inevitability, despite moments of hope. The two touchdown lead came as a bit of a surprise, as Green Bay had only scored that quickly twice this season, especially considering how well the defense had been playing in recent weeks. Where does this leave Seattle's chances for the playoffs? Part of that answer will depend on the status of Geno Smith and how quickly he'll be...
info_outlineFor a bye week, there was a lot of attention on the Seahawks for the wrong reasons. With the biggest game of the year next up on the schedule, the news was magnified around a four-game suspension for Walter Thurmond and a potential year-long suspension of Brandon Browner. Adam and Brandan talk about what the suspensions mean for the team moving forward.
The Saints may have the second best record in the NFC, but the guys are both extremely confident that this game will work out in favor of the Seahawks. Between home field advantage and the noise generated by the second attempt at the Guinness record, and simply how well this team matches up against New Orleans, Seattle should take another step toward securing home field advantage.
Adam and Brandan hand out the "coveted" bye-week awards. They disagree on who should win the award on offense and special teams and come to agreement on the defensive side of the ball. They also hand out awards for best offseason acquisition and rookie of the season so far.
They finish up by telling a pair of Cowboys and an NFL reporter to "do better." A bonus "do better" is directed toward Black Friday shoppers. This week's Better at Life segment is split between Seattle and New England as Coach Belichick makes a bold decision on Sunday night and the 12th Man reaches the top of Mt. Everest.
