Pre-Snap Reads 12/18: Seahawks versus Rams! Allez!

In Today’s Links: the best match-up (so far) of the 2025 NFL season is tonight, and like me, I’m sure you cannot wait for it. Below is most of the pertinent news from the world of our Seattle Seahawks, enough for the average Field Gulls patron to possibly ingest in one sitting. Dive into the […]

Seahawks All-22 review: The good and bad from Seattle’s close win vs. Colts

The Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Indianapolis Colts fits neatly into the category of games where the final score masks a lot of underlying issues. From an All-22 perspective, snap by snap, this was a win built more on competitiveness, defensive execution, and timely plays than on a coherent or efficient offensive performance. In classic […]

Jason Myers brings home NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Was there any other option for the NFL to choose for the NFC Special Teams Player of the week than Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers? After Myers split the uprights six times on Sunday, including a 56-yard game-winning field goal, to set a franchise record and will the Seahawks past the Indianapolis Colts, you’d be […]

The Seahawks should abandon the run game to win the division

We’re still running off the joyful fumes of a touchdown-less victory over the Indianapolis Colts are we not? I wrote earlier about the struggles on offense being more tied to the line than the quarterback, and that conversation has been full of cheer. That sets us up beautifully for this: The Seattle Seahawks should drastically […]

Everyone is wrong about Cooper Kupp

The Cooper Kupp hate is weird, man. The Seattle Seahawks currently utilize Kupp has their WR2 or WR3 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. That’s not his fault – the entire NFL is behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. But all this commentary this season about Kupp “not being the player he once was” is overblown. In fact, an argument exists […]

Pre-Snap Reads 12/17: Seahawks working on improving struggling offense

In Today’s Links: our Seattle Seahawks keep winning, sometimes despite themselves; another mailbag from John Boyle, all kind of previews of the all-important ‘Hawks TNF game against the Los Angeles Rams, a look at the NFC West and our chances at taking home the division crown, and much more. How worried are you about our […]

Four Down Territory: Jason Myers beats Philip Rivers, 18-16

Well, it wasn’t quite Rocky vs Apollo, but the heavyweight (sorry, that was mean) battle between the Seattle Seahawks’ much maligned kicker and Rivers doing his best Dennis Quaid “The Rookie” impression was some of the best bad football I can remember. It was a historic day in Seattle for a lot of reasons. We […]

Seahawks waive core special teamer

The stretch run has arrived and the Seattle Seahawks are getting healthy. In recent weeks several members of the team have returned from injured reserve or, as in the case of rookie Rylie Mills, been activated from the nonfootball injury list. The side effect of that is that the team has needed to create spots […]

Seahawks All-22 review: The good and bad from Seattle’s rookies vs. Colts

The Seattle Seahawks rookie snap count dropped significantly in Week 15, with the group combining for 137 total snaps. That decrease is largely explained by two offensive rookies landing on Injured Reserve (Elijah Arroyo and Tory Horton), Rylie Mills being eased back in with fewer than 10 snaps after a long injury absence, and Robbie […]

Seahawks Week 16 power rankings: Seattle needs to clean up its offense, and fast

Last week, after defeating the Atlanta Falcons in a rather dominant manner, the Seahawks maintained the same average power ranking. Could a sloppy victory over grandfather, Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts potentially drop the Seahawks down? Surprisingly, the five national media sites did not overreact to the close game against the Colts. Of the […]

Jason Myers on pace to break all-time NFL field goals single-season record

It is officially Jason Myers appreciation season. After putting up all 18 points for the Seattle Seahawks last week against the Indianapolis Colts, Myers is starting to get praise from all around the national media. From appearances on the Pat McAfee show, to winning NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for November, to breaking […]

Enemy Reaction 2025: Indianapolis Colts

Alrighty, this is a weird one. The Seattle Seahawks narrowly beat the Indianapolis Colts, so this is as close to doing an Enemy Reaction for a Seahawks loss as I’ve ever come. Not that the Seahawks haven’t had close wins before, but the thought of losing to 44-year-old Philip Rivers at quarterback as a two-touchdown […]

Pre-Snap Reads 12/16: How Coach Macdonald engineered a Seahawks victory

In Today’s Links: numbers of note from yesterday’s 2-point Seattle Seahawks victory over the Indianapolis Colts, a couple different looks at the ‘Hawks offense and some of their obvious issues, an early preview or two of Thursday’s match-up with the Los Angeles Rams, Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to add to his historic 2025 season, a look […]

Dolphins vs. Steelers ‘Monday Night Football’ live discussion

Hey, remember when the Miami Dolphins were way out of the playoff picture? I mean they still are, but they’re not as far as they could be after starting the season 2-7. They’ve won four in a row to claw to 6-7, albeit starting at elimination with a loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Maybe the […]
