Report: Seahawks Fire The Guy Who Didn't Hand The Ball To Marshawn Lynch
Maybe you think this headline is unfair, given that Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell has been with the team since 2011 and helped them win a Super Bowl in 2013. Maybe you’re right! But when you’re responsible for one of the most disastrous play calls in football history, that fact is go...
It Might Be Time To Blow Up The Seahawks
We have likely witnessed the end of an era for the Seahawks. Seattle missed the playoffs for the first time in six seasons, and the harsh realities of age, the cruel logic of the salary cap, and the inevitability of injuries all now threaten the makeup of one of the NFL’s most stable rosters. The pr...
Falcons Earn Another Chance To Spectacularly Choke In The Playoffs<em></em>
Most of you likely recall last year’s Super Bowl between Atlanta and New England, in which the Falcons somehow blew a 28-3 lead and let Tom Brady claim yet another championship.

Bobby Wagner To Teammate Earl Thomas: "Keep My Name Out Yo Mouth"
The Seahawks were liquified by the Rams yesterday, surrendering 42 points and 352 total yards. They had a particularly tough time stopping Todd Gurley, who went for 144 yards and three touchdowns in the first half.

The Rams Took A Sledgehammer To Seattle In The First Half
In their first matchup of the season back in October, Seattle beat the L.A. Rams 16-10.

Seattle Seahawks rookie defensive lineman Malik McDowell, who has yet to play in the NFL due to injuries from an ATV accident in July, was arrested in Atlanta last weekend for disorderly conduct. TMZ got the bodycam video from his arrest, and it’s not great:...
This Andy Benoit Take About Russell Wilson Is So Fucking Stupid I Want To Die
You might remember Sports Illustrated’s resident tape-eater Andy Benoit from the time he proudly listed 15 backup stiffs better than Colin Kaepernick (and unironically included the likes of Brock Osweiler), or the time he said the Browns weren’t a joke because he watched the film on them, or the tim...
The Jaguars Are A Joy To Watch
Faced with one of their toughest opponents of the year, a Jacksonville Jaguars team with a brand-new identity proved that they’re not only the NFL’s best defensive team, but also one of its most fun. Their 30-24 win over Seattle today was highlighted by big plays and mostly lopsided excitement....
Quinton Jefferson Restrained From Fighting Bad Jags Fan
Seahawks tempers were running hot when their loss to the Jaguars was all but over, and a dust-up with the Jags in victory formation led to an unsportsmanlike conduct ejection for Seattle’s Quinton Jefferson. As Jefferson left the field, however, the situation deteriorated further, and some idiot in ...

Seattle Sounders Fans Are Hopping Mad At Beer
I have, myself, been mad at beer. One time I drank several too many Smithwick’s at a pub quiz, and the following morning had the worst beer shits in the history of mankind. Fuckin’ beer! This is not like that: Seattle Sounders fans are mad at beer for, like, appropriation, or whatever....
Pete Carroll Really Botched That One

Doug Baldwin: "Thursday Night Football Should Be Illegal"
Thursday night football continues to be largely trash, as the Seahawks lost cornerback Richard Sherman for the season with a ruptured Achilles during tonight’s 22-16 win over the Cardinals.

18 Seconds Of Pleasure, Courtesy Russell Wilson
Russell Wilson may or may not have dodged the concussion protocol earlier, but he set up a fourth-quarter Seahawks touchdown with this celebration of creativity and athleticism that culminated in Doug Baldwin hauling in what turned out to be a 54-yard catch and run. ¡Increible!...
Washington's Failed Interception Return On A Two-Point Conversion Was Meaningless Fun
During Washington’s shocking win over the Seahawks in Seattle, Pete Carroll once again had a slant at the goal line blow up in his face. It was essentially a carbon copy of the play that lost Seattle the Super Bowl and turned Russell Wilson into a broken man:...
Kirk Cousins And Josh Doctson Slide Their Way To A Win In Seattle
Kirk Cousins and Washington thwarted what would have been a second straight late game-winning drive by Russell Wilson to grab a win in Seattle this afternoon.
