Five Pro Bowlers
That’s right -- five Pro Bowlers!
In their second year at the helm, Pete Carroll and the Schneid have brought in five guys who made the Pro Bowl this year. I hope Addicts and other Seahawk fans realize what an enormous feat that is. Of course, a deep playoff run would be even more amazing, but let’s put this achievement in perspective by comparing it to Tim Ruskell’s five...

We apologize for such a slow stream of articles lately. There just isn't much to report at this time. Here are a few interesting reads from other blogs and sites:

NFL Draft 1st Round Pick Update
Just a quick update to break the silence. According to WalterFootball.com, the coin flip between Kansas City and Seattle for the 11th overall selection has been made, with Kansas City winning the flip. Kansas City will receive the 11th overall selection during this April's draft, and your Seattle Seahawks will have the 12th overall selection. This won't affect the team all...

Free Agency Re-Signing Priorities
As of today, there are more than 18 Seahawks players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents (UFA) this offseason. There are many key players within this group that should be retained. The challenge will be deciding which of these players to keep; the salary cap will make it difficult to retain all of them. The following, in my opinion, are the free agents grouped into "priority...

2011 Season Evaluation
The 2011 NFL season for the Seattle Seahawks has come to a close. Although they ended up with the same 7-9 record as last season, progress has definitely been made in the Pete Carroll regime. Looking back, how did we fare this season and what’s next? Let’s take a brief position-by-position look.
Quarterback: C
An argument could be made that the quarterback position during...

Offseason Speculation, 2012 Edition
Every regular season leaves a lot of question marks for every team in the NFL, but this is an offseason that may be the most critical for the Seattle Seahawks. In just 17 weeks, we've seen a relatively green, young team transform from a raw, athletic core into a fully functional and capable football force.
The team has an insane amount of potential. A few versions of the Seahawks...

Week 17 - Seahawks Lose (R-Rated Thread)
The Seahawks' defense did their best to win this game, but sometimes Larry Fitzgerald just does his Larry Fitzgerald thing by making spectacular catches no matter how well he's covered. Seattle's sputtering offense didn't help matters, either; Tarvaris Jackson has been the good-enough-for-now QB all season, but he wasn't good enough to win this game. He wasn...

Seahawks Lose Finale, But Show Promise
Normally, a 23-20 defeat in overtime to a division rival isn't the ideal way to finish a season.
But the 2011 Seattle Seahawks had already reached their definition of "ideal" before stepping on the plane bound for the desert.
Despite finishing with the same 7-9 record as last year, the team accomplished milestones that nobody saw coming this year. I'd even go so far as...

Week 17: Seahawks at Cardinals (Game Thread)
While most of us are busy stumbling our way through National Hangover Day, the Seahawks will be in Phoenix to beat up the Cardinals. This game is almost a mirror match, although the Seahawks come out slightly ahead in the comparison:
Both teams lost most of their games in the first half of the season (2-6 for Seattle, 1-7 for Arizona), then turned things around and won most of...

Earl Thomas (and Possibly More) Headed to Pro Bowl
That's right, the rest of the league seems to have finally realized that Earl Thomas is pretty great. He'll be headed to Hawaii as the starting free safety for the NFC team, and according to John Boyle of the Everett Herald he may not be the only Seahawk in attendance:
First Alternates: CB Brandon Browner, SS Kam Chancellor, FB Michael Robinson
Second Alternate: RB Marshawn...

Week 16 - Seahawks Lose (R-Rated Thread)
With the loss to San Francisco, the Seahawks are now officially eliminated from the playoffs. Even so, the 11-3 division champion 49ers had to fight all the way down to the end to seal their victory, and that was against a Seattle team missing three starting offensive linemen and both starting wide receivers.It may have taken half the season to get there, but Pete Carroll has finally...

Week 16: 49ers at Seahawks (Game Thread)
The Seahawks and 49ers are eerily similar teams. Both tend to play better in the second half of games than they do in the first, Seattle moreso than San Francisco. Both teams feature strong defenses; the 49ers' defense has fared better than Seattle's this season, but the difference isn't as great as you might think:

Odds and Ends for Week 16
Brandon Browner has come a long way. After struggling through the early part of the year, especially in week two versus Pittsburgh when Roethlisberger completed 100% of the passes he threw in his direction, Browner has started to show everyone why he was named to the CFL All-Star team the last three years running:

Mike Williams to IR
Mike Williams has been put on injured reserve after breaking his left ankle last week against the Chicago Bears. He reportedly underwent successful ankle surgery today.
What does this mean for your Seattle Seahawks wide receiving crew? First off, it means we have lost significant size at the position as Mike Williams (6'5), Kris Durham (6'5), and Sidney Rice (6'4) are...

Week 15: Seahawks at Bears (Game Thread & Post-Game R-Rated Thread)
Injuries (or lack thereof) should have a major impact today. For one, no Seahawks have been ruled out for this game -- the only question mark listed on Friday's injury report was backup OT Jarriel King. The same can't be said for the Bears, who listed both their starting QB Jay Cutler and starting RB Matt Forte as out for the game. The way Seattle's defense has been playing...

The Formula
Just a quick bit of news before I get to the subject of the article. Another Seahawk was put on injured reserve this week, but for once it wasn’t a starting offensive lineman. The unlucky player this time around is CB Ron Parker, a special teamer who was claimed off waivers from Oakland back in week eight. To fill his roster spot, WR Ricardo Lockette has been elevated from...

Week 14 - Seahawks Win! (R-Rated Thread)
It was ugly, especially when the offense decided to spend the first half playing down to the level of the competition, but a win is a win. Also, the offensive line still makes me nervous, but McQuistan held up better at left tackle than I thought he would, and Giacomini bounced back after getting beaten multiple times early on (mostly by bull rushes).
But enough out of me, what...

Week 14: Rams at Seahawks (Game Thread)
All the playoff scenarios in the world won't mean a thing if the Seahawks don't win their final four games of the season, beginning with tonight's matchup against the Rams. One thing that bears close watching is the play of the offensive line. With RG John Moffitt, RT James Carpenter, and now LT Russell Okung all on injured reserve, the o-line currently consists of...

NFC Wild Card Hunt
The Seahawks don't play until tomorrow night, but there's still plenty going on today that concerns them. Even at 5-7, Seattle still has a chance to making the playoffs as a wild card team. Granted, it's not a great chance, and it requires several other teams to finish out the year on a losing streak, but after the way this season began it's amazing the possibility...

The Immediate Value of a Top Ten Draft Pick
Now that the Seahawks have won three of their last four games and have an outside shot at a playoff berth (more on that later), it's difficult to remember that just a month ago we were all basking in the anemic, miserable glow of a 2-6 record. There isn't much consolation to be found in that many losses, and that drove some folks to root for the team to keep right on losing in order...

Week 13 - Seahawks Win! (R-Rated Thread)
The Seahawks just improved to 5-7, and looked reasonably good doing it. Browner managed to cut down on the penalties, Golden Tate and Zach Miller both got involved in the passing game, and Marshawn Lynch did his level best to earn that fat new contract he wants the Seahawks to give him when his current one expires at the end of the season. What more could you ask for?

Week 13: Eagles at Seahawks (Game Thread)
It feels strange putting up a game thread this early in the week, but here we are. Playing on Thursday night makes for a lot less time to prepare. Even under the best of circumstances, that means less time to study the opponent, less time to put together a game plan, less time to test that plan out on the practice field, and less time for the players' bodies to recover from last...

Week 12 - Seahawks Lose (R-Rated Thread)
This season, it seems like the Seahawks are doomed to win half the games they shouldn't win and lose almost all the games they should win. The Redskins had plenty of success running the ball at backup DT Clinton McDonald, and RG Paul McQuistan struggled all game in pass protection. Among other miscues, McQuistan killed the Seahawks' chances to convert a fourth down on their last...

Week 12: Redskins at Seahawks (Game Thread)
The Redskins are not a good team. Sure, their defense is tied for second highest sack total in the league and they don't give up may passing TDs or rushing yards per attempt, but they are below-average in every other defensive category. On offense they're positively abysmal across the board, but it's hard to be anything else when your quarterback options are Rex Grossman...
