Seahawks Struggle With Inconsistency and Turnovers - Week 6 Postgame Reaction

Was this one of the most embarrassing Seattle Seahawks losses in recent history? We kick off the show by comparing it to one of the worst losses from Pete Carroll's first season as head coach as we discuss the broader implications of a lopsided defeat. Was this performance an indicator of deeper flaws? The Seahawks' struggles in the trenches continue, but we disagree on how to proceed. Should the team force a commitment to the run game or continue to stick with strategies that have brought success to this point? With the absence of DK Metcalf, it had an impact on the offense but it didn't impact the outcome. We also get into the leadership dynamics within the team, after comments made by Richard Sherman and others about the perceived lack of leadership. The issue seems to be more about a lack of cohesive messaging rather than an absence of leaders. With the Los Angeles Rams game on the horizon, could we see rock bottom for the team or could this game serve as a turning point for the Seahawks this season. In the second half of the show, we recap the worst weekend of the NFL season. Not only did the Seahawks lose big, every other team in the division picked up a victory. We talk about the meetup at the game and the results of last week's pickem league. Do better call outs go to a runner who survived disorientation in the woods for almost a month and to Anthony Richardson who survived shaking a tackler. Better at life honors go out to a former Seahawks player and to the Community Notes feature on social media that is helping to inform people about Skip Bayless' nonsense.

The Bills flew across the country and beat the pants off of the Seahawks with a huge helping hand... from the Seahawks. A low in the Macdonald era and one we are going to want to leave in the rearview mirror. But first, let's face the Bills Mafia music and discuss what went so, so so so so wrong.

We're geared up for Week 8 and ready for a perfect week of picks. We're locked in on our picks for Ravens vs. Browns and the Titans at Lions. With Deshaun Watson out, the Browns face a daunting Ravens offense, while the Lions look to dominate the Titans, despite Will Levis's mom's unwavering support for her son's team. We eventually get to some picks where we disagree in looking ahead to Jets vs. Patriots and the Falcons vs. Buccaneers. The episode wraps up with Monday Night Football predictions, and evaluating Russell Wilson's return to the Steelers. Looking for more Seahawks shows?

Some big news to talk about this week to kick off the show as the Seahawks make an in-season trade for a linebacker from the Tennessee Titans. But it wasn't that long ago that Ernest Jones was playing for the division rival Los Angeles Rams. Now that two teams have moved on from Jones, is that an indictment on his play? Or were the Rams just averse to paying their former defensive captain because that is a position they historically don't give out big contracts to? We also dive into the Seattle Seahawks' dominant performance against the Atlanta Falcons, highlighting Kenneth Walker's "flu game" and the first-half dimes from Geno Smith. As the Seahawks worked to pull ahead in the second half, was the team too aggressive in trying to deliver a killshot to the Falcons? We explore some of the 3rd quarter strategy the seemed to throw the offense into neutral. With DK Metcalf potentially sidelined due to injury against the Bills, we talk about how Seattle's offense might adapt, with increased roles for players like Jake Bobo and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Will we start to see the team lean on their second best player more or will we try and see others deeper on the depth chart getting involved if DK needs a couple weeks of rest. In the second half of the show we talk about some of the dominance along the defensive line from Byron Murphy. Is he having the type of impact on the defensive line that is allowing the team to remain undefeated with him in the lineup? We go from scolding a perfect week of picks from one team last week to celebrating a perfect this week. Congratulations to Danish Meadhawks on a perfect week of picks. Tune in to hear why a group of scientists need to do better for growing old seeds along with an account on X that may be giving out too much information on one of our Seahawks. A legend of Seahawks media passed away this week and so we close the show honoring what he did for the team and for fans. NOTE: Nothing to censor in this week's show, so there won't be an UNCATFISHED version to release this week. Looking for more Seahawks shows?

The Seahawks are back in the lead in the NFC West with a decisive 34-14 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, moving above .500 and showcasing what might be their most complete game of the season. We break down the top plays and highlight the defensive turnovers that helped seal the win. Boye Mafe's standout play and Ken Walker, playing despite an illness, were pivotal. With turnovers finally swinging in Seattle's favor, the team capitalized on opportunities, and the defense was able to close out a win for our Seahawks. Looking for more Seahawks shows?

The episode kicks off with Adam, slightly buzzed and home alone, sharing his thoughts on the Broncos vs. Saints game, and Cody Barton's unexpected performance. Getting into this week's matchups, we start with the Jaguars vs. Patriots in London. At first, we think about taking our shot at each going 100% on picks this week together, but that option quickly derails from the start of the show. Stay tuned to hear how our pick'em league overlord dealt with one of her subjects picking against our Seahawks last week. Looking for more Seahawks shows?

After a whirlwind of three games in eleven days, we take a breath to dissect what went wrong and what can be improved with our Seahawks moving forward. Looking back to the game against San Francisco, the impact of turnovers and missed opportunities doomed the team. However, there remains the potential for a bounce-back game against the Falcons, as Atlanta struggled to hold off the Carolina Panthers last week. What can the team do to help build their identity amid some of the challenges posed by having a new coaching staff. We talk about which issues are fixable and how the team can regain its footing. Going up against the Falcons offers an opportunity for a balanced offensive approach and the potential for Geno Smith to have a standout game with a limited Falcons pass rush (as long as Grady Jarrett doesn't have his regular breakout game against Seattle). With a mini-bye providing extra time for adjustments, there's hope for a turnaround and a return to the win column. In the second half of the show, we talk about some of the latest injury news and whether or not we've gone too easy on Geno Smith by not criticizing him enough during his Seahawks tenure. We get into the numbers behind what we'd expect to see with Sam Howell on the field. Do better callouts go out to Lids and to "Fake Wendy." Better at life honors go out to Gus Swayze surprising a group of Tampa Bay Bucs fans and Adam dives into uncharted territory with his pick. Looking for more Seahawks shows?

We dive into our Week 6 NFL picks, despite being thrown off by the Seahawks' recent Thursday night game. From discussing the Jaguars vs. Bears matchup in London to analyzing the Commanders' challenge against the Ravens, we navigate through a variety of intriguing games. We ponder over whether the Packers can outlast the Cardinals and if the Texans will maintain their balance against the Patriots. The episode also features a special shoutout to our pick'em league winner, Hawk Van Dyke. Looking for more Seahawks shows?

The Seahawks first matchup with a division rival ended in disappointment as Seattle fell 36-24 to the 49ers, marking a third consecutive loss. From what might have been Geno Smith's worst game of the season to blunders on special teams, the Seahawks struggled to maintain consistency against a 49ers team that capitalized on Seattle's mistakes. We discuss the team's identity crisis, questioning whether the Seahawks are simply a bad team or if they can overcome their current woes. Looking for more Seahawks shows?

How frustrating was the loss to the New York Giants? There are still elements of the game that have us scratching our heads. We get into the offensive struggles and the questionable play-calling decisions that are leading us to ask an important question: Is it a Ryan Grubb issue, or is Coach Mike McDonald more involved with the offensive philosophy than we have been thinking? We get into three things Mike said in the last two days that lead us to explore the philosophical approach of the Seahawks' offense and why it might be setting the team up for failure. On the defensive side, the struggles appear to be more related to execution rather than philosophy. We take a look at the run game issues and linebacker performance, particularly focusing on Jerome Baker's "guesses." Despite the defensive struggles, does the offense bear the brunt of the blame for the latest loss? Special teams also come under scrutiny, especially after a blocked field goal that could have turned the game around. Looking ahead, we preview the upcoming matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Can the Seahawks' defensive line capitalize on the 49ers' offensive line weaknesses and will the offensive line be able to slow down Nick Bosa and exploit the Niners' secondary? Plus, we're already seeing internal drama within the 49ers' locker room. Are Niners fans right that it is time to move on from their current coach? We suggest at least one recommendation. With a short week ahead, the Thursday night showdown will be another important test for our Seattle Seahawks. Looking for more Seahawks shows?
