    28-0, 14-0, 20-0, 9-0 and 31-0.

    It's not just two games . . . the Seahawks set an NFL record for most consecutive games in which they had a lead. There were only three games this season where the Seahawks were losing at halftime. The Cincinnati game, for example, was just the opposite. The Seahawks started strong, were...

    Mastermind of 2nd half offense: Tom Cable?

    Ultimately, it is Carroll and Schneider's decision about whom to draft when. That criticism is really overplayed. The team has never drafted a linemen convert above the 6th Round, where they drafted Sokoli last year. Sweezy was a success based on where he was drafted (7th Round). Just staying...

    Playoff question

    Denver beat New England and Cincinnati (both in OT). That gave them the head-to-head tiebreaker.

    The annual is Kearse worth it thread

    Carroll really wants to re-sign Kearse. He said he just wonders whether another team values him like we do.

    Seahawks 2016 Draft - 1st pick will be?

    Drango is listed at 6'6, which is protypical OT height, while Bitonio was only 6'4. I wonder how tall Drango really is and how long his arms are. Maybe he has alligator arms.

    Seahawks 2016 Draft - 1st pick will be?

    Germain Ifedi is probably the closest guy to Russell Okung in this draft class. 6'5, 325 with long arms, agile feet, and a powerful build, not a lot of fat on him. Powerful run blocker who is just quick enough to move to LT in the NFL with enough length to help him recover. If he fell to the...

    Seahawks 2016 Draft - 1st pick will be?

    Why does every draftnik seem to consider him a guard in the NFL, not a tackle? For example . . . OC39tMkw3mE

    Seahawks 2016 Draft - 1st pick will be?

    He had the highest pass blocking efficiency in the country in 2015, according to PFF's stats, allowing only three quarterback hurries all season.

    Offseason wishlist

    When Simon was healthy, he was statistically the best corner in the league, allowing receptions at a lower rate per snap than anyone else. Burley has really developed nicely into an excellent nickel corner. Smith also appears to have the potential to develop into our next Pro Bowl-caliber...

    28-0, 14-0, 20-0, 9-0 and 31-0.

    The last thing you want is for your team to be overly hyped before a game has started. Before a game, every player is naturally going to be hyped up. The problem for teams that make their players overly hyped up before a game is that too many of them burn out before the game has ended. You...

    Offseason wishlist

    Corner, as a need, has to be pretty far down the totem poll. They have Sherman, Burley, Simon, Seisay, and Smith all returning at corner. In addition, they could re-sign Lane and/or Shead. That's a lot of good corner options. In hindsight, signing Cary Williams was kind of an unnecessary...

    28-0, 14-0, 20-0, 9-0 and 31-0.

    It is an interesting psychological query: whether emphasizing the importance of finishing impedes starting. Pete has been emphasizing finishing in the same way for over 15 years. He's coached a lot of games where his teams have dominated from the start, but he's also been known for having...

    28-0, 14-0, 20-0, 9-0 and 31-0.

    Personally, I think the team was mentally wiped out after playing in the 3rd coldest game in NFL history. Then there was the whole issue with the field and the cleats. It took them a half to mentally check back in and reset. The fact that they didn't give up and came back and went 24-0 in the...

    Is Lane the answer at RCB?

    Maxwell had a lot more games of tape under his belt. 16 games, plus three more as a starter in the playoffs, in 2013. Plus, another 17 games, including the playoffs, in the 2014 season. Maxwell had 31 games as a starter in 2013 and 2014. In contrast, Lane has played in just 13 total regular...

    Seahawks 2016 Draft - 1st pick will be?

    That would be great, but what are the chance he falls to #26? It's always costly to move up in the First Round. He had a great year, was an All American, and is just about as high profile as it gets. He reminds me a lot of Alex Boone, actually. Really solid lineman . . . won't be surprised...

    Is Lane the answer at RCB?

    I hope they keep Lane. But if they don't, the competition is still going to be intense. Marcus Burley was playing really well this season in the nickel before and after his injury. Burley can be had next year for the league minimum. Tharold Simon has all the potential in the world to turn...

    Pete Carroll Wants to Accelerate the Process for Wilson

    Speaking to Russell's maturation as a QB. He seemed to struggle to connect with jump balls to Graham for the early part of the season. It was nice to see Russell throw up some perfect jump balls in the final game.

    Being competitive

    Bailey has gotten Russell killed quite a lot this season and continues to struggle as a run blocker. I would hate the idea of counting of him as a starter at any position. In fact, I would actually be relieved if he wasn't re-signed, at all, because I think it would signal that the team is...
