    The Seahawks have a disappointing showing that really set back their year. The DEF cannot stop anyone on the ground and it was the first time since Week 3 that we've seen Geno look lost on the offense. With their playoff future still in doubt, they have one of their biggest games of the season on a short rest for Thursday Night Football. With the short turnaround, can the Seahawks take advantage or will they Niners just run all over the Seahawks run DEF? This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Does one bad week set back the idea that Geno is the long/short term answer at QB? Topic #2 Is the NFL having a run-focused rebirth or are the Seahawks RUN DEF that bad? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Do we need to switch from thinking about the playoffs to the draft? Topic #4 San Francisco 49ers - Should the Seahawks rethink their personnel if the Niners can succeed with their 3rd-string QB? Predictions Final Score 49ers vs Seahawks Over/Under 1.5 Injuries due to the short week Over/Under 2.5 Players unable to play due to the short week Over/Under 99.5 Complaints made during the game due to the short week Over/Under 1.5 Turnovers for Geno

    The Seahawks bounce back and Geno proves the doubters wrong for a week as he led the team to a come-back-win that the DEF was able to hold. It wasn't the "best" version of the Rams but a win is a win. The Run DEF continues to drive the fans crazy as the Rams looked like they were able to do anything they wanted on the ground but the Pass Rush and Secondary showed some flashes. Tariq Woolen keeps getting tested but came out ahead with his league leading 6th INT. The team tries to take advantage these final five weeks as they fight for the NFC West. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Can we put to rest the "Geno doesn't have a GWD?" Topic #2 What's the bigger concern on the ground; the RUN DEF or our lack of RBs? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Can the Seahawks secure the NFC West? Topic #4 Carolina Panthers - Will the Seahawks split the NFC South or will the Panthers run all over us?

    The Seahawks are back in action and hope to rebound after their 2-game lead in the NFC West has dropped to zero after losing back-to-back games.

    The Seahawks complete their BYE Week with the return of a healthy Russell Wilson, Chris Carson and Dee Eskridge. The team took care of the lowly Jaguars before the BYE. After a long three games, our QB comes back to lead the team as they travel to Green Bay where the Seahawks have not won since Jon Kitna and Mike Holmgren won in 1999 in our AFC West days. The buzz is increasing as there are still questions about A-A-Ron's availability for Sunday's game as he needs to test negative on Saturday night to play on Sunday. The Seahawks are looking as healthy as they've ever been but will that be enough to change their losing streak in Green Bay. This is the HawksCast.NET podcast.

    The Seahawks suffer another demoralizing loss as the Geno-led team has the ball with a chance to tie or take the go-ahead score but fail on their last drive of the game. The DEF continues its show impressive coverage skills in back-to-back games but were marred by untimely penalties throughout the game. The OFF though was able to use up a lot of clock but outside of one long TD to DK, it never looked in sync and often fizzled out. Penny returned to the OFF but didn't show much in his limited opportunities. The once super reliable Jason Myers suddenly has the yips.

    The Seahawks are coming off a huge win in primetime against division foes, the Arizona Cardinals, and now face another bird-themed team in the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. Are you reaching for the stars with this DEF team or are you still waiting for the other shoe to drop? The running game came back, the passing game was effective and the DEF played well when it needed to. The Hawks Cast podcast is coming back like all the players off of the injury report. Topic #1 Are you buying or selling the idea that the DEF can be this level of "good" for the rest of the year? Topic #2 Is this balanced OFF the end of the "Let Russ Cook" train?

    The Seahawks suffer another demoralizing defeat as it wasn't so much the DEF that let us down all game but the OFF. Russell Wilson has another multi-turnover game that continues to make all their mistakes look even worse and due to a Hail Mary the Cardinals end up being the number one team in the NFC West and the Seahawks fall to 3rd. It's a quick turnaround as the Seahawks now face that red-hot Cardinals team on Thursday Night. The injuries are still piling up but my body is ready. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 What has the greater chance to improve; Wilson's Turnover Rate or the DEF building off their last game? Topic #2 Are Seahawks fans overvaluing how good this team is through 9 games? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Is Pete becoming the worst coach in the West? Topic #4 Arizona Cardinals - Has Murray surpassed Wilson as an MVP front-runner? Predictions: Final Score: Cardinals vs. Seahawks More Total TDs: Murray vs. Wilson More Sacks Avoided: Murray vs. Wilson More Rushing Yards: Murray vs. Seahawks RBs More Targets: Lockett vs. Metcalf vs. Hopkins Over/Under 2.5 Hail-Mary's Shown From Previous Games Over/Under 3.5 Seahawks OFF Starters Missing https://forum.hawkscast.com/ https://twitter.com/SeahawksPodcast https://twitter.com/SeahawksForum

    The Seahawks look at what went wrong in Buffalo as the Seahawks were beat in every category; OFF, DEF and Spec Teams. Most people were harping on the DEF but the OFF turned the ball over four times making the DEF protect shorter fields. Can the Seahawks right the ship as they face the LA Rams? This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 Was "Fire Bevell" ever as bad as "Fire Norton?" Topic #2 Who deserved some mid-season hardware? MVP, Unsung Hero, Most Improved, etc. Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Can NFC West cans cool it now that the division when 0-3 over the weekend? Topic #4 Los Angeles Rams - Will a Blitz-happy Aaron Donald make it another long game for Wilson? Predictions Final Score Seahawks @ Rams Yes/No Will the lack of running hurt the OFF Yes/No Will the Secondary continue to give a 10-yard cushion? Will we see the return of Jared Goff or Jared Goof? Yes/No Sack Party continues? Yes/No DEF Turnover drought continues? https://forum.hawkscast.com/ https://twitter.com/SeahawksPodcast https://twitter.com/SeahawksForum

    The Seahawks play one of their best games of the year as they face NFC West rival the San Francisco 49ers. While they were not playing at full strength (and neither were the Seahawks) the game was not close by the 3rd quarter. Seahawks were up 23-points before the Seahawks-Killer Nick Mullens lead them to three scoring drives before the Seahawks shut them down. Now the Seahawks travel east where they've won their last 10 games on the east coast to face the Buffalo Bills. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 Are you starting to feel the DEF with our players getting healthy? Topic #2 All the talk has been Russell Wilson but do we understand how good DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett have been? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Did the Seahawks put an end to the Niners for the year? Topic #4 Buffalo Bills - Are the Bills the best team the Seahawks will face for the rest of the season?

    The Seahawks suffer their first defeat this season as they fall in OT to the Cardinals. The Seahawks had a 10-point lead going into the final minutes of the 4th quarter but the OFF couldn't convert a 3rd and short and the DEF couldn't stop a Murray-lead attack. Metcalf's play of the century will be lost to memory because the Seahawks failed to win. Now the Seahawks regroup as some key players return to practice and they face the defending NFC Champs the San Francisco 49er's. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 Who is the prime reason for our success and who is the prime reason for our first loss? Topic #2 What's the one thing that would suddenly change the Seahawks DEF woes? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - The West continues to lead the NFL in divisional strength; did the Seahawks mess by losing to a divisional foe? Topic #4 San Francisco 49er's - 49er's injuries are worse and does that mean the Seahawks should be favored in a fan-less home game?
