    Seahawks Hiring Ravens DC Mike Macdonald As New HC

    Ben Johnson. I wanted an offensive genius (Xs,Os) so we can finally go head to head with the Rams and Niners. I get the attraction of having a dominant defense again, but those types of defenses don't come along often and take time to build. When they do, they don't last long due to free agency...

    Seahawks Hiring Ravens DC Mike Macdonald As New HC

    I don't have any big problem with the hire, but I'm not ecstatic about it...........I take it this guy is supposed to be the defensive equivalent of McShay and Shanahan.....? I hope so. I'm tired of watching our defense look confused, slow or play on their heels when the Rams or 49ers run 20...

    Rumors of new uniforms

    The Seattle Lions........? The Dallas Seahawks...............? Just no. We were the team that was getting posterized in a lot of the high lights from that era. The "Seattle wannabes", the "little team that could"--the constant underdog--our notoriety came from who we played rather than the...

    Old fans like me

    OUCH!! ......but true. I think it's the laid back nature of Seattle that has led to these types of results. I have family that lives in Seattle--originally from NYC. After serving in the Marines, my uncle went out west for a change of pace from NY. He told me a while ago the fandom in Seattle...

    Fieldgulls: How bad is the Defense?

    Based on what I'm seeing, something has gone very wrong in the locker room. The obvious lack of effort, guys standing around, waiting for someone else to make the tackle. How many times have you seen our D linemen on the ground and the other teams O linemen down field? How many times have you...

    Yall wanted Lock

    I know right! You could just see it coming! How long did they think they could hold down Stafford and McVay!?

    Geno running the ball after pass to DK(little time left)

    This is where I'm at with this team. They are what they are and Geno is what he is. Hope for the best the rest of the season, but don't be surprised if things go sideways. Apathy starting to set in......

    Geno Isn't the Guy. Sad to Say (Main)

    I think that's what's really irking some fans. You look at this offense and all the talent, coupled with a McVay disciple and people think (myself included) we would be tearing it up. We are the second coming of the Rams offense........hasn't worked out that way though. Geno turns into the...

    Geno Isn't the Guy. Sad to Say (Main)

    Just to be clear Sarge, I'm not picking a side. I just see the situation for what it is..... People may want to remember that the hawks weren't exactly lighting it up offensively when they matured into a full blown Super Bowl contender. There were alot of close ugly games during that time. I...

    Geno Isn't the Guy. Sad to Say (Main)

    Kinda feel bad for the guy...everyone is waiting for him to turn back into a pumpkin. Sigh.......Geno was really the only viable option once Wilson was traded. He already knew the offense, so the transition would be easier. Lock, IMO, was never really a serious contender for the job. Pete and...

    What if the NFL admitted it was fake?

    Well said. It's a business and they are trying to maximize their profits. The whole "letting them play" or "calling it tight" is code for " we want to present a good product for entertainment purposes". Lopsided games serve no purpose, so the league must present the facade of "there's always a...

    Were We Asking Too Much of 2022 Hawks D?

    Thanks Polk. I found some good reads for anyone interested https://www.rookieroad.com/football/defensive-formations/4-3-defense-vs-3-4-defense/#:~:text=In%20a%204-3%20defense%2C%20there%20are%20four%20linemen,defending%20the%20pass%20and%20plays%20on%20the%20edge...

    Were We Asking Too Much of 2022 Hawks D?

    -Trying to convert 4-3 players into a 3-4 scheme hasn't really worked the best. Can you explain this further for those of us that are unfamiliar with the intricacies of changing from a 4-3 to a 3-4. Thanks

    49ers at Seahawks, the strategies

    Offense: more emphasis on routes to get receivers open and good looks for easy completions. Geno is on the verge of a meltown. We can all feel it. We're all waiting for it. Make it easier on him with simple reads so that he isn't trying to force the ball into tight coverage. We have no running...

    67 Members After A Loss?

    The team is not very good right now. Fans simply aren't as engaged as they would be with a winning team. Apathy, plain and simple. It will continue if the product on the field does not improve dramatically next year. Unrealistic and unfair expectations? Maybe.....but it is what it is.
