A high ankle sprain will keep Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin on the sidelines in Week 8. The second-year standout did not practice on Wednesday and may be out "a couple weeks" according to Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN.
Baldwin only has 11 receptions for 149 yards and one TD through six games. Head coach Pete Carroll had recently told the media that he wanted to get Baldwin more involved in the offense, but that obviously can't happen with him potentially out for multiple weeks.

A Seahawks fan’s take on politics
This week’s article should be something pertaining to how the Seattle Seahawks playoff hopes are gone since they have lost to every team in the NFC West. Then again now could also be the time to ask if the clock is ticking on Pete Carroll’s time in Seattle. Compelling as these topics are, plenty of other writers will pen commentary on them. Readers of The Penalty Flag expect...
Seahawks Richard Sherman changes Twitter handle to Optimus Prime
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is on a mission to validate his franchise as a serious contender.
Well Seattle takes on Detroit at 1:00 this Sunday, and Sherman decided to go Transformers on us.

Seahawks young defensive backs fire back at Jim Harbaugh for crying about rough play
The Seahawks responded to comments from 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and his belief that Seattle’s defensive backs were overly physical with San Francisco’s wide receivers in the Thursday night game, to the point he intended on speaking with the league. You’re supposed to be happy after you win a football game, right? I’m not big for media anyway. That’s just who he is, I guess...
A Tale of Two Halves
Last Thursday’s road game against the 49ers was supremely frustrating to watch. The Seahawks looked awful, and that’s led to a lot of fans voicing opinions of the “fire coach X and/or bench player Y” variety. That’s understandable, but I think it’s premature to be calling for changes that drastic. Right now, the Seahawks are 3-0 at home and 1-3 on the road, with...
