RUNDOWN

 

It's a rough week in Seattle sports, with the Mariners eliminated, the Huskies losing to Rutgers, the Cougars being dominated by a top running back, and the Seahawks falling to the Lions. Jed Fisch's mounting criticism is no big win either [let's read some listener emails].

Mitch and Hotshot also discuss the Seahawks' upcoming game against the New York Giants, labeling it as a crucial win for the Seahawks. They emphasized the importance of securing a victory before facing tougher opponents like the 49ers, Falcons, Bills, and Rams in the following weeks.

Mitch and Jacson Bevens from "Cigar Thoughts" discuss the Seattle Seahawks' recent 42-29 loss to the Detroit Lions highlighting some defensive struggles due to missing key players and the dominance of Lions' quarterback Jared Goff. Despite Geno Smith's strong performance, the defense couldn't slow down the Lions' offense. They also highlight Seattle's adjustments in the running game and the impressive impact of Kenneth Walker.

Rick Neuheisel on college football; starting with a recap of Rick's successful betting streak, where he achieved a 3-1 record in his recent picks. They focus on the Alabama vs. Georgia game, analyzing Alabama’s Jalen Milroe and Georgia's defensive effort. The conversation shifts to standout college football players, including a 17-year-old making waves and the controversial call in the Virginia Tech-Miami game. They discuss officiating challenges and their implications for the College Football Playoff system.

It's the end of the Seattle Mariners' 2024 season. Despite sweeping the Athletics and finishing 85-77, the team failed to make the playoffs. Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas express concern about the future, emphasizing the uncertainty of maintaining such a strong rotation, especially given potential injuries.
