The New Orleans Saints must have taken the week off from issuing bounties when they played the Seahawks in the 2010 playoffs. Maybe they didn’t think Marshawn Lynch was worthy of a bounty … In fact, it looked more like Lynch was doing his own headhunting on his 67-yard Earthquake Run during that awesome playoff [...]
Less than a day before the deadline for applying the franchise tag, the Seahawks have signed running back Marshawn Lynch. And now they are free to tag another player. Lynch’s deal is worth $31 million over four years, with $18 million guaranteed, according to the ever reliable Adam Schefter. That’s $3 million more than we [...]
As the NFL’s two-week window begins for applying the franchise tag to top players, the natural question in Seattle is: Should the Seahawks consider using the device to hold Marshawn Lynch or Red Bryant, widely perceived as their two most important free agents? The answer reportedly is: They will use it on Lynch if they [...]
While many Seahawk fans waste time lamenting the omission (for now) of Marshawn Lynch from the pointless Pro Bowl, we’d rather rue the fact that Tarvaris Jackson is not a Pro Bowl quarterback. We don’t mean that he deserved to be and simply is not; we mean that he is not and never will be. [...]
No reason to overpay Lynch
12 Dec 2011With Marshawn Lynch’s meteoric surge over the last five weeks, everyone is talking about how important he is for the Seahawks to re-sign and what he might cost. Yeah, the Seahawks have run the ball better over the last month than they have at any point in the last five or six years. And yes, [...]
The Seahawks’ offense didn’t appear to know what to do with the unexpected gifts the Ravens kept giving them Sunday and the Seahawks won almost despite themselves. They were lucky to escape with a win in a game in which they scored only one touchdown in six red-zone trips, averaged 3.0 yards per carry, committed [...]

Beast Mode, Tecmo Bowl-style
In: seahawks
9 Jan 2011Matt Hasselbeck, Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks sure shut up a lot of people today. With a season-high four touchdown passes, Hasselbeck silenced all of the Hassel-haters, Lynch turned in perhaps the most spectacular touchdown run in Seattle history and the Seahawks pulled off one of the greatest upsets in NFL playoff history with a [...]
Just like the blowout loss against the Giants, that was about what we expected. The Seahawks’ horrible pass defense couldn’t slow down Drew Brees and the potent Saints offense, and the Seahawks once again showed just how far they are from becoming a contender. On top of that, a couple more injuries reinforced our previously [...]
Pop quiz: How does a rebuilding team that has made a habit of being blown out on the road manage to pull off a visiting win? Just play one of the worst 4-1 teams in NFL history. That’s what the Seahawks did as they managed to hold on for a 23-20 win in Chicago, beating [...]
