    Anyone going to @Baltimore?

    Wife and I are planning to ride the train down from NYC but Baltimore seems like a bad place to fly solo. Any groups of Hawks going to be there? Would love to meet up and sit close to allies. Ticket advice (and offers) welcome. We were planning to ride the train back up same night but I guess...

    Which 3 wins do you want the most in 2015?

    Has to be regular season. The 3 wins I wanted most last year: (1) Denver - to close the book on all the excuses from XLVIII (2) Dallas - just can't stand the international bandwagon (3) Philly - wanted to shut down the high-flying Eagles and their vaunted offense Can't believe we dropped...

    Post-XLIX Dave Dameshek Football Podcast

    Anybody listen to this pod? If it helps, Producer TD was on the Seahawkers Podcast a couple weeks back and he's a big Russell Wilson fan. Excuse my angry rant on a topic most will find obscure. But Shek--who I normally really like--has been slowly turning into a Seahawks hater after some of...

    What "The Call" boils down to...

    Pete / Bevell: "we didn't like our chances with Marshawn against their goal line set. So we threw the ball into their goal line set." Yep, passes the sniff test for me. Also, I suppose everyone here knows that, after throwing Lockette under the bus (after Pete & RW took bullets for him)...

    Loss of Jeremy Lane = 14 points for the Patriots

    I don't have the replay handy (why would I want to?), but per Bill Barnwell's Grantland column, the loss of Jeremy Lane / introduction of Tharold Simon was good for 14 Patriots points: I'm not sure what happened on the Pats' end-of-first-half score, but seeing linebacker KJ Wright in...

    What will our offensive game plan be?

    All we've heard about all week is Bill Belichick is a genius, Tom Brady is a master, they can't account for Gronk. What will Seattle do when NE lines up 4? What about when they line up 6? What will they do with eligible/ineligible receivers? How will they defend the Edelman double pass? I think...

    What did you make of the Run D?

    Now that we're down both Mebane and Hill? They didn't go HAM on us, and they do have a RO threat in Cam, but they still got 132 yards and Stewart averaged 5.4 YPC on 13 carries. Reason I ask is, being without Hill AND Bane is a new-ish reality, and if the Cowboys win, we're likely to face an...

    Detroit @ Dallas Penalties

    So far the penalty battle is a dead heat: both teams with 5 (mid-post update: scales have now tipped heavily in Dallas' favor): However, Dallas is getting away with some *really* rancid no-calls. Other than the usual no-calls on the Dallas OL, they have had some really ugly no-call defensive...

    McShay: Gurley to Seahawks in 2015

    Yes, I know these "6 months out" draft lists are 90% pointless, but it's an interesting possibility. I'm a Georgia grad and had the pleasure of watching him in person. He's a banger--not as much as Marshawn--but the amazing thing about him is his field vision. It's second to none. Like...

    Road Game HATE

    You often hear that the champs get everyone's best shot. Well, that's not just true on the field, apparently; it's also true off. I went to several Hawks' road games last year, and most this year so far, and there is a night and day difference. Even though we ended up winning more last year...

    Seahawks' Opponent Penalties: Team Average vs. SEA Game

    My apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, and equal apologies if this is deemed to be a conspiracy worthy of a Niners fan, but... I read an interesting post about how the Seahawks’ opponents were faring in terms of penalties when they played the Seahawks, vs. that team’s normal average...

    KC Joyner Trolling: "Pats will have best secondary in 2014"

    I think I might have been the first to see and post this ESPN Insider article KC Joyner penned claiming the Pats will top the Hawks in secondary in 2014. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11190704/nfl-new-england-patriots-secondary-surpass-seattle-seahawks-2014?refresh=true This is...

    Who are you happiest about getting a ring?

    (If I phrased that correctly) The obvious answers are Russell... his hard work paying off in Year 2 and beginning the legacy--and doing it all while all the advertisers hitched their wagon to Kaep this year. Marshawn... all those yards and TDs and Beast runs as he nears the end of his career...

    The circle of gracelessness is complete.

    Reaction to Seattle's win from around the country: Peyton: Seattle's "not the best defense" he's faced. Ram fans: I live in STL, and Ram boosters say the win was "ugly" but not impressive Niners fans: happy to see Sherm injured, and say it was "luck" and "the refs" who got the win Feel free to...

    Would you rather... #1 offense, or #1 defense?

    Short answer: #1 D. One thing I think is overlooked is how much harder it is to field an historic #1 Defense in 2013/4 than it is to field an historic #1 Offense. People talk about the '85 Bears and say we'll never equal them. What goes unsaid is that the 85 Bears could crush a receiver coming...

    Russell Wilson By-The-Numbers: 2012 vs. 2013

    I used Pro Football Reference to collect information on Russell's 2012 performance vs 2013 performance, and broke it down in an arrow chart by regular season, playoffs and all games. As the header indicates, this was done by taking the averages of each year's stats and calculating a relative %...

    Hawks section @ STL?

    Hey all, Seattle native, Hawk fan, new here. Just relocated to STL and wondering where any of you going to the STL game will be sitting at Edward Jones Stadium? Also, anyone with experience: what do you figure scalped tickets go for day of? If you have a general idea, that works, but of course...
