3 IN, 3 OUT: Beyond the Sam Story

The Seattle Seahawks latest clash with the Los Angeles Rams left fans reeling after a brutal four-interception performance. What separates good QBs from great ones, and why some fans are losing patience while others still see hope for a turnaround. Expectations, turnovers, and the pressure of big moments all come under the microscope. So what exactly is Darnold's record in "big games" and how does it compare with "big moments"? Is there a difference? We also highlight some big time stats that Jaxon Smith-Njigba is putting up on the offensive side and how Devon Witherspoon has been locking down the perimeter on defense.  Looking ahead, the focus shifts to the upcoming matchup against the Titans and what the Seahawks need to do to get back on track. In the second half of the show we discuss some remaining notes from the game. We close the show with calls to Do Better with regard to quarterback rankings and a ridiculous law in London. Better at Life honors go out to a pair of Seahawks players for their postgame commentary on the podium following the loss to the Rams.

After a narrow loss to the Rams, a mental shift needed to focus on the upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans. Considering the way the season is going for the Titans, the expectation is that we'll have a prime opportunity to see Seattle bounce back. Should Seattle focus on the running game or open up the passing attack this week? Defensively, we get into the reasons why our edge rushers and linebackers can dominate versus the Titans offense. We also discuss how expectations to win against a struggling team will cast a shadow on this matchup. Can they get back to playing at that high level prior to facing their division rival.

In a game of inches, we ended up a few yards short and to the right. In a frustrating loss where Sam Darnold must take most of the blame, there were other moments and aspects, good and bad, that added to this tough loss to our largest rivals, the Rams. There were some good points to focus on, too. Defensive efforts come under the spotlight, notably the exceptional play from Tariq Woolen, a crucial tackle for loss by Boye Mafe, as well as the importance of second-half adjustments. Some surprising stats jumped out as we dug into the box score, too. While it felt like most of the pressure came from the right side, two-thirds of the pressure actually came from the left. Plus, there was one play by the guards and led to Ken Walker getting absolutely blown up in the backfield. Tune in for some of the good moments, as we sprinkle in some of the bad moments that you'd expect out of this game. Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

The Seahawks had a masterful performance on defense to keep the game within reach in the final seconds of the game. Ultimately, the loss to the Los Angeles Rams comes down to critical mistakes and costly turnovers by Sam Darnold. However, he did bounce back from his four interceptions to give Jason Meyers a shot even after the offense was pinned at the 1-yard line by the Rams special teams unit. The offense also suffered a major injury in the final moments of the game that is likely going to test the depth of the offensive line and put further stress on Darnold down the stretch. Tune in to our live reaction as we talk about what we'll need to see moving forward from our Seahawks to make a playoff run.

We're still flying high after another dominant Seahawks victory over the Arizona Cardinals. It's not just the win -- but how they were able to do it. Tyrice Knight, Ty Okada, Nehemiah Pritchett and Drake Thomas weren't guys we were expecting big contributions from at the beginning of the season, and now they're a big reason to be excited about the defense. With the Rams game coming up on Sunday, it will be the biggest test yet for the Seahawks. Ernest Jones and Cooper Kupp get to face off against their former team, but it may also be a revenge game for Sam Darnold based on how last season went for our quarterback. A lot has been made this week about how the Rams are using "heavy" personnel packages with their tight ends. Is it even that big of a deal? In the second half of the show we talk about a fictional offseason trade scenario between the Seahawks and Browns and one major reason why Myles Garrett shouldn't be a coveted trade candidate. Maintaining appliances and a new term showing up in sports are discussed in the Do Better segment. Lastly, stick around to find out why the Arizona Cardinals and a key part of the Earth's atmosphere are "Better at Life." Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

The Seahawks dominated the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday on their way to a 44-22 victory.

Nick Emmanwori and Tariq Woolen paired up for multiple pass breakups. Leo Williams and the rest of the gang had their way with a tepid Cardinals team! The Seahawks move to 7-2 on the season and will spend the week gearing up for a big time matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Seahawks fans got some rough injury news this week as Jarran Reed went to IR even after a week of practicing fully. Details are limited as to what may have caused the move on Saturday. Reed joins several other Seahawks players who will be out vs the Cardinals, who have several injuries of their own. But considering the Seahawks are coming off a dominant victory over the Commanders and have an upcoming matchup with the Rams -- does this put this week into a trap game scenario? We close the show with this week's Blue Friday Bets and talk about whether the guys are leaning to far toward the potential of an improved rushing attack.
