Classic 77-Yard TD Run From Lynch Cannot Save Seahawks, Team In Turmoil, Russ’s Rookie Year

Classic 77-Yard TD Run From Lynch Cannot Save Seahawks, Team In Turmoil, Russ’s Rookie Year

Eight weeks into the season, the Seattle Seahawks were displaying a pattern. The up-and-down nature of the team’s play appeared to be closely linked to home field advantage. At Century Link, the Hawks were undefeated, including victories against the Green Bay Packers, a Super Bowl victor two seasons prior, and the New England Patriots, a Super Bowl loser the season prior. At home, rookie quarterback Russell Wilson had six touchdowns to zero interceptions. On the road, it was two touchdowns…

2015 Seahawks Re-Watch, Week 4: Kam’s Big Comeback

2015 Seahawks Re-Watch, Week 4: Kam’s Big Comeback

Week four brought the Detroit Lions, the Hawk’s third straight game against an NFC North opponent. Thus far, they had split the difference, going 1-1. The Detroit Lions had had a heartbreaking start, as the franchise’s inability to bank road wins continued.

Week Four: Lost at Sea?

Week Four: Lost at Sea?

Thanks to a big-time Kam Chancellor strip and a big-time no-call from the officials, the Seahawks walked away with a victory they neither earned or deserved. The Seahawks are in distress. Playing without an identity, playing without a scheme, running around like decapitates chickens, the Hawks made terrible play after terrible play and the eyesore of it is just shocking. This is not the team that Seahawks fans have seen since the arrival of Pete Carroll. What is happening to the Seahawks now is both confusing, disheartening and quasi-unexplainable. This is a good team. Really, it is. So what’s wrong?
