456: Time to Tear it Down or Double Down Jan 02, 2025

Show notes

As the Seahawks wrap up their season with Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, we debate the merits of closing out the season with a win, even if it's against a Rams team playing for nothing. Looking ahead to the offseason, there are two primary paths that make the most sense the Seahawks: tearing it down to focus on a rebuild or doubling down and sticking with a big part of the current roster. We talk about the key players, potential roster moves, and whether or not either option features offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb.

Coach Mike Macdonald says there are a handful of players who will be trying to hit some incentives for the season. How do the financial implications of Geno Smith's contract incentives play into the broader salary cap situation? In the second half of the show Adam pushes for the reasons why the Seahawks scenario of running it back should include Geno rather than trying to find another free agent to pursue -- but he does set a contract limit to where it would be too much. Sean Payton and anyone who suggests that Geno Smith should sit out Week 18 are called out in the Do Better segment, while a pair of Seahawks earn Better at Life honors.

Seahawks Defense Shines, But Offense Struggles in Rainy Chicago Dec 27, 2024

Show notes

Join us for a post-game breakdown after the Seahawks less-than-stellar win over the Bears. Winning is still better than losing, especially when it results in a winning season overall for 2024. We dive into the defensive showcase that held the Bears to just three points, and take a look at the offensive strategy that looked like it was set up for success in the second half. Despite the win, the frustration with the offense and the debate over Geno Smith's performance continues. We look ahead to Saturday's showdown between the Cardinals and Rams to find out how meaningful the Seahawks Week 18 matchup will be.

Seahawks Playoff Hopes Are Now in Peril Dec 23, 2024

Show notes

Another tough week for Seattle Seahawks fans after our team lost to the Minnesota Vikings 27-24, putting any playoff hopes in serious jeopardy. We break down the game, and discuss how our Seahawks had a lead but couldn't hold onto it in the fourth quarter. Despite a promising comeback led by Geno Smith, the offense struggled with balance and timely penalties. Justin Jefferson torched the Seahawks defensive backs for two touchdowns, while DK Metcalf was held relatively in check by the Vikings defense. With the loss, the Seahawks playoff hopes now rest on the Arizona Cardinals being able to beat the Rams, only if Seattle can go on the road on win on Thursday.

455: Seahawks Infuriating Packers Loss, Vikings Trap Game Ahead? Dec 19, 2024

Show notes

The Seahawks suffered an infuriating loss to the Packers on Sunday, but it did bring some clarity on changes that need to be made in the offseaon (if not sooner). We take a look at what went wrong with the team in their slow start and what kept them from coming back despite having the opportunity, in part thanks to the defense for bouncing back in the second half. However, the offense remained a disaster throughout, exacerbated by Geno Smith's injury and the decision to put Sam Howell into chucker mode .

Looking ahead, we take a look at the upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings. Considering the Vikings level of talent, both players and coaching, this may be the most complete team the Seahawks have faced all year. But can our Seahawks be a "trap game" for Minnesota, given their challenging schedule ahead? That's one of a small number of factors that could give us some hope toward victory for the final home game of the regular season.

In the second half of the show, we take a look at one of the plays that may have helped seal the offseason fate of Ryan Grubb. Plus we take a look at the playoff picture, the potential for the Seahawks to still make a run, and the importance fans play for home field advantage. Do better call outs go to the Charlotte Hornets and two teams the faced the Los Angeles Rams recently. Plus Adam has a rare self-nomination for the Better at Life spot that he shares with the Seahawks latest nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.

Prime Time Pummeling: What We Learned From This Measuring Stick Dec 16, 2024

Show notes

The Seahawks suffered a tough loss to the Packers, falling 30-13 in a game that highlighted some of the strengths and weaknesses of the team. After quickly falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter, the game felt like a slow inevitability, despite moments of hope. The two touchdown lead came as a bit of a surprise, as Green Bay had only scored that quickly twice this season, especially considering how well the defense had been playing in recent weeks. Where does this leave Seattle's chances for the playoffs? Part of that answer will depend on the status of Geno Smith and how quickly he'll be ready after getting injured in the 3rd quarter.

454: Celebrating a Historic Seahawks Win, Packers Showdown Ahead Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

The Seahawks are sitting pretty at the top of the NFC West after a solid win over the Arizona Cardinals, and we are here to recap a milestone victory. Celebrating the Seahawks' 400th franchise win, we discuss the breakout game from Zach Charbonnet, who racked up nearly 200 yards on the ground and through the air. The defense continues to impress, with Ernest Jones making key plays to stifle James Conner and the Cardinals' offense.

Looking ahead to Sunday night, we discuss the upcoming match against the Green Bay Packers, a team that poses a real test for Seattle's improving squad. Despite last week's performance against the Lions, the Packers have a solid defense and their balanced offensive attack will be another measuring stick on the improvement of the Seahawks defense.

In the second half of the show, the conversation shifts to the broader NFC West landscape, with a focus on the Rams and 49ers. What's more likely for this Seahawks team? To finish 3-1 down the stretch or 1-3? A special birthday shoutout goes out a 12th golden birthday. ESPN and announcers overreaction to Sam Darnold's season need to do better. Better at Life honors go out to the Simpson's broadcast and to a life changing iPhone update.

Seahawks Feast on the Cardinals, Stay Atop NFC West Dec 09, 2024

Show notes

The Seahawks delivered a 30-18 win over the Cardinals on Sunday, fueled by a strong start with the help of back-to-back interceptions by Ernest Jones and Coby Bryant on defense. The offense capitalized off the turnovers to help set the tone for one of the team's most complete performances of the year. Zach Charbonnet shined with 134 rushing yards, 59 receiving yards, and a touchdown, while Geno Smith's efficient day under center included a touchdown to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Are things starting to come together for offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb? Seattle are atop the NFC West, but the Rams are now the chief rival for the Seahawks after their win over the Buffalo Bills.

453: Seahawks Special Teams Debacle, Prepare for 'Road Playoff' vs Cardinals Dec 05, 2024

Show notes

The Seattle Seahawks pulled off the comeback win against the New York Jets, but it wasn't pretty. The Seahawks got behind early in the first half against a struggling Jets team and despite the shaky start that was nearly disastrous, they were able to rally. Defensive Player of the Week Leonard Williams had several standout plays. He blocked an extra point, delivered a pick-six, and was a consistent threat in the trenches.

Are the Seahawks starting to find their way on offense? There were some moments that offered glimmers of hope, particularly as the team shifted to playing more from under center. We also look ahead to the upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals, and the importance of stopping James Conner and maintaining defensive discipline against Kyler Murray.

In the second half of the show, we discuss the controversy surrounding a recent suspension for a late hit on Trevor Lawrence. We offer a new benefit to our biggest supporters and look at an incredible week of perfect picks. In our Do Better segment, we go after some new football jargon and talk about a new rule proposal in professional baseball. Better at life honors go out to Coach Macdonald for a family milestone and former Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren cleared a major hurdle that should have him heading into the Hall of Fame.

Big Cat Dominates to Overcome Seahawks Special Teams Chaos Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

In a game filled with bizarre moments (particularly on special teams) Leonard Williams emerged as the standout player of the game once again. Williams delivered a blocked extra point, a pick-six, and critical sacks to help secure a Seahawks victory. Mookie Alexander of Field Gulls joins the show to talk about the biggest comeback win of the Geno Smith era. However, Geno and the offense will need to clean up their act moving forward, particularly with their goal-to-go offense, where questionable play-calling and execution nearly kept the Seahawks from getting the comeback win.
