Looks as if Mike Macdonald will be the Seahawks' next head coach. He'll be the youngest head coach in the NFL at 36, and is something of a defensive wunderkind. I think this will make many 'Hawks' fans happy. https://theathletic.com/5241462/2024/01/31/mike-macdonald-seahawks-head-coach/ https://www....

With the Ravens and Lions now out of the Super Bowl, two coordinators of note are now available to be considered for the Seahawks' head coaching position--Mike Macdonald the Ravens' DC and Ben Johnson, the Lions' OC. Both have had very strong seasons with their teams and it's a good bet that at leas...

Just some thoughts on yesterday’s NFL conference championship games. In the AFC game, the Ravens’ mistakes were the big story. They played an undisciplined game and wound up with eight penalties for 95 yards, with five 15-yard penalties (as opposed to the Chiefs' 3 penalties for 30 yards), including...

The NFC divisional game went as predicted, although I thought that the Bucs showed up and played hard. Looks as if they have their successor to Tom Brady in Baker Mayfield. The Lions are a pretty good team and will, I think, give the 49ers all they can handle in the conference championship game next...

Well, one of the two divisional games went the way most had expected. The Ravens did indeed crush the Texans. However, the 49ers-Packers game was a big surprise. The Niners won as expected, but they sure didn't look that good doing it. Maybe it's just that the Packers are that good--way ahead of whe...

Well, it looks as if Jerry Jones is giving Mike McCarthy another year to get the Cowboys to the promised land. And, as for Dan Quinn, he remains in the running for the Seahawks' HC job. Quinn has long been mentioned as Pete Carroll's likely successor, although it's hard to know whether the Cowboys' ...

Yeah, what an upset in Dallas. HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS!! Ha Ha. HOW BOUT DEM PACKERS!! Packers (the youngest team in the NFL) come into the Cowboys' stadium and play a team with a more-experienced and clearly stronger player roster and beat them soundly. It wasn’t just that the heavily-favored team los...

Here is the schedule for the NFL Wildcard Weekend (first round of the playoffs), along with the networks carrying them. They will all appear on the various TSN channels as well. All listed times are Eastern. https://www.nfl.com/news/super-wild-card-weekend-schedule-revealed Six games--two on Saturda...

This just in: Pete Carroll out as Seahawks' head coach . Will stay on as an advisor. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/pete-carroll-moves-from-coach-to-advisor-for-seahawks I'm surprised by this. Pete has been the Seahawks' most successful head coach in the team's history...

So the season is over for the Seahawks despite a win in Arizona--a win they were lucky to get, as the Cardinals played by far the stronger game and the usually-reliable Matt Prater missed a couple of field goals that he normally makes. It's an interesting end to the season for the 'Hawks, almost mir...

Yeah, good points, Hambone, but in reality the Seahawks' chances of making the playoffs have now dropped significantly (now estimated at 21%). It's pretty simple, actually: they would have to beat the Cardinals in Arizona next Sunday and have the Packers lose to the Bears at Lambeau Field. The forme...

Here's a little more on the financial ramifications of the Russell Wilson benching and its aftermath:

I was surprised to hear the news about Russell Wilson being benched in Denver. Although the Broncos have been pretty up and down this season and have almost no chance to make the playoffs, Wilson hasn't played badly. He currently has a QB rating of 98, which is actually very good, placing him 7th am...

As usual, the Seahawks made life miserable for their fans, once again waiting until the last seconds to pull out a victory. It hasn't been a pleasant experience watching the 'Hawks this season, and I'd like to see just one game in which we could relax early on in the game and actually enjoy it! But ...

Yeah, Robbie, that's pretty silly talk from the Broncos' fans. Drew Lock may have had a game or two in which he was good in Denver, but, for the most part, in his three years there, he was mediocre at best. His completion percentage over those three years averaged 60.6, and his quarterback rating av...
