Joining me for this one are all three co-hosts of the outstanding Sea Hawkers Pod - Clinton Bonner, Brandan Schultz and Adam Emmert. I'll get their thoughts on the big win over San Francisco, where this season ranks among other great Seahawk campaigns, and WHAT'S NEXT for this team!

The Seahawks just made a major statement by locking up Charles Cross — and that deal may only be the beginning. With several foundational players nearing free agency, Seattle faces critical decisions about who to extend next, who to prioritize early, and how to stay ahead of a rapidly rising market. In this episode, we break down three Seahawks who are next in line for big money, why each one matters to the team’s future, and what comparable contracts across the league suggest their next deals could look like. Seattle has shown a clear pattern: identify core talent early, strike before the market explodes, and keep championship windows open. The question now isn’t if more deals are coming — it’s who’s next.

Join along as I replay and react BLIND to Mike Macdonald's weekly radio show. He's usually more relaxed and forthcoming in these sessions, and today he was asked a question that made him pause for a full TWELVE second before his answer. What was the question, and how did he answer it? Tune in to find out!

In a wired-to-wire win the Seattle Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara, CA to win their first NFC Wests division title since 2020, AND wrapped up the NFC's top seed in the process. Join me and Bryce Coutts from The Hawks Eye podcast to break it all down!

The Seattle Seahawks are in position to make a real Super Bowl run — but there’s one issue that could derail everything if it isn’t fixed. In this episode, I break down the one stat that has the strongest historical correlation to winning championships and why Seattle currently sits on the wrong side of it. We’ll look at how past Super Bowl winners have handled it, where the Seahawks rank right now, and why this problem is both dangerous and fixable heading into the stretch run. This isn’t about style points or hot takes. It’s about the one thing championship teams simply can’t ignore.

On paper, the Seattle Seahawk vs. Carolina Panthers matchup looks like a game with a clear script. But dig a little deeper, and five key storylines emerge — each with the potential to swing the outcome in unexpected ways. In this episode, I break down the hidden dynamics at play this week. From schematic pressure points to situational trends and roster realities, these aren’t the obvious talking points — but they matter just as much when the game kicks off. No spoilers. No hot takes for clicks. Just the five angles you should understand before Sunday.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald spoke on his weekly radio appearance today, breaking down their dramatic 38-37 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday— and I’m reacting to it live, in real time, without prep. We’ll break down what stood out, what matters most moving forward, and whether anything he said reshapes how we view this Seahawks team down the stretch. I’ll also give my three biggest takeaways from Seattle’s win, after not having a chance to react last night — including what looked different, what still needs tightening, and what this performance says about where the Seahawks truly stand as the postseason approaches. Live chat open. Bring your questions, reactions, and hot takes.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: It’s NFC West Mixtape with Rob “Stats” Guerrera (Gold Standard Network), and the timing couldn’t be better: Seahawks vs. Rams on Thursday Night Football is a full-on swing game for the division… and it’s quietly a major puzzle piece in the NFC’s race for the No. 1 seed. We break down what really decides this matchup (matchups, margins, coaching pressure points), what the result does to the standings immediately, and why the team barely getting mentioned right now might be the most dangerous of all: the 49ers, lying in wait and not out of the race. Division stakes. Conference stakes. Prime-time consequences. Let’s mixtape it.

Tonight’s livestream is an open fan Q&A as we get ready for Seahawks vs Rams, one of the biggest games of the season with the NFC West, playoff positioning, and potentially the No. 1 seed all on the line. We’ll cover: • A full Playoff Scenario Check — how Seattle clinches, what they need to win the division, and the paths to the top seed • How fans are feeling heading into a prime time matchup • The offense and whether it’s trending in the right direction • Sam Darnold’s readiness for this moment • The running game struggles • And a measured look at OC Klint Kubiak’s performance and play-calling Mostly, though, this is your show.

The Seahawks survived Sunday’s 18–16 win over the Colts — but what did it actually tell us about Seattle heading into their massive Thursday night rematch with the Rams? I’m joined by Jeff Simmons of Real Hawk Talk to break down the bigger picture as Seattle and Los Angeles sit tied at 11–3, battling not only for the NFC West, but potentially the No. 1 seed in the NFC. We dig into the concerns surrounding the Seahawks offense after settling for six field goals, whether Sam Darnold has shown enough growth since his four-interception game vs the Rams in Week 11, and how much confidence there should be heading into this one. Plus, we zoom out: • What’s really wrong with the running game? • Is it the backs, the offensive line, the play-calling — or all of the above? • And most importantly… is this offense good enough for a deep playoff run? High stakes, honest answers, and a real temperature check on where this Seahawks team stands.

Former NFL offensive lineman and national analyst Ross Tucker joins the show to break down the state of the NFC playoff picture, the Seahawks’ chances down the stretch, and what it really takes to build a successful offensive line in today’s NFL. As a player who went from undrafted to multiple teams across the league — from Marty Schottenheimer to Bill Belichick — Ross has a unique perspective on development, continuity, and what separates the elite O-Lines from the ones still searching.

Mike Macdonald dropped some gems in his weekly show — not just about plays, but about process. The Seahawks are practicing best-on-best, emphasizing habits over highlight moments, and the results are showing. Seattle sits top-2 in almost every major team metric, tied for the second-best record in the league, best point differential, and #1 in DVOA. They’re playing fast, confident, and like a team with bigger goals than just making noise — they look like a legit contender. But here's the real question… Until Seattle beats the Rams and 49ers, will the rest of the league truly believe? Let’s break down what Coach Macdonald revealed, why the process mindset matters, and how this team looks like it's built to last.

The Seahawks hammered the Falcons 37–9 in Atlanta to move to 10-3 (6-1 away) — and we’re going LIVE to break it all down!

Comedian Dustin Nickerson joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation on Seahawks fandom, Mariners heartbreak and joy, and what it’s like growing up a Seattle sports fan. We talk about how being a fan in this city shapes your sense of humor, where the Seahawks stand today, how the Mariners’ ALCS run became comedy gold, and why rooting for Seattle teams is equal parts pain, passion, and payoff. Dustin is a nationally touring stand-up comedian, host of the "Don’t Make Me Come Back There" podcast, and a Seattle native who regularly weaves our collective sports trauma into his act. Lots of laughs, plenty of honesty, and some great stories about what it means to love these teams anyway.

This month’s Bracket of Boom winner asked one simple question: “What’s up with Pooh Paul?” Tonight, we dig into the answer — and everything happening inside the Seahawks’ suddenly loaded inside linebacker group. The preseason worry at ILB feels like ancient history now. Ernest Jones is healthy and dominant, Tyrice Knight is flashing, Drake Thomas is breaking out, and even Patrick O’Connell made an impact in relief last week. But there’s also a practice-squad wildcard the team still believes in — and I’ve got some insight straight from his inner circle. How did a perceived weakness become a strength? Who’s emerging, who’s next, and what does it mean for Seattle down the stretch? Let’s break it all down.

In this episode of Seahawks Forever, I break down three Red Flags and three Green Flags that reveal where Seattle truly stands with six weeks left in the season. Some of these signs are encouraging… others are downright alarming. We’ll dig into one offensive issue that continues to limit what this team can be, the surprising dependence on a single player that could become dangerous, and the one element on defense that still isn’t where it needs to be. But it’s not all bad—far from it. There are also a few unmistakable Green Flags that point toward real postseason potential, including one emerging star who changes everything for opposing defensive coordinators… and a team trait that quietly matters a LOT in January. Are the Seahawks closer to contending—or collapsing? Let’s find out.
