What a fool I was. I actually thought the Seahawks had a chance to win last Sunday against the Cardinals.
I failed to realize that Seattle’s offense line is full of reserve players and rookies. The offensive line that looked good against Jacksonville, the worst pass-rushing team...

According to Jim Mora, Lofa Tatupu may not be out for the entire season after all. But before everyone starts to rejoice, he still suffered a serious injury that will need time to heal.
Further tests on Tatupu’s right pectoral muscle revealed that the muscles and tendons may not...

When it rains, it pours. Especially in Seattle.

I think the Seahawks can win this afternoon.
Maybe it is blind optimism from a homer, desperate for a victory after suffering a crushing loss the night before – the Huskies gave up a fifty-yard pass with seconds to go and found a way to lose in Tempe.
Maybe the optimism stems from...

Injuries in Seattle have affected more than just the standings this season. Unfortunately, they’re also having an impact on personnel decisions and the Seahawks’ ability to retain players.
Brandon Frye, who would probably be buried on an NFL depth chart anywhere else, was thrust...

To best describe Owen Schmitt, he is five beers short of a six-pack. And knowing Schmitt, he probably drank them.
Owen Schmitt is a crazy man.
Just ask the equipment managers at West Virginia who consistently replaced Schmitt’s steel-reinforced facemasks. An unofficial count credits...

I haven’t been able to write much lately; not because I’ve given up on the season, but my schedule has been brutal the past few weeks. And it doesn’t look like I’ll have much free time available until at least December.
But I’ll do my best to continue posting my opinions...

Well, last Sunday wasn’t very fun. But did anyone really think the Seahawks would leave Indianapolis with a victory?
Peyton Manning is playing as good as he ever has during his career right now. That’s saying a lot, considering Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks of this...

One would be hard-pressed to find an optimistic 12th Man this week.

After Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears, Jim Mora chastised kicker Olindo Mare in his post-game press conference for missing two key field goals. It is quite rare for a head coach in the NFL to single out a player like Mora did with Mare.
“There’s no excuses for those,” Mora...

THREE KEYS TO VICTORY:
Shut down Chicago’s running attack.
Last week, the Seahawks allowed Frank Gore to rumble for over 200 yards on the ground, including long bursts of 79 and 80 yards.
You’re not going to win a football game if the opposing running back is that dominant.

The Seahawks take on the 49ers in San Francisco today, their second division game in as many weeks. After dismantling a lackluster St. Louis Rams team last Sunday, today is a great opportunity for Seattle to establish an early dominance in the NFC West.
