We take a look at what went wrong with the team in their slow start and what kept them from coming back despite having the opportunity, in part thanks to the defense for bouncing back in the second half. However, the offense remained a disaster throughout, exacerbated by Geno Smith's injury and the decision to put Sam Howell into chucker mode .

After quickly falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter, the game felt like a slow inevitability, despite moments of hope. The two touchdown lead came as a bit of a surprise, as Green Bay had only scored that quickly twice this season, especially considering how well the defense had been playing in recent weeks.

Zach Charbonnet shined with 134 rushing yards, 59 receiving yards, and a touchdown, while Geno Smith’s efficient day under center included a touchdown to Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Leonard Williams made a significant impact, and the pass rush as a whole is pressuring at a rate that is difficult to believe. It wasn't the prettiest win though.

But is that where we should be counting from or can we start from the beginning of the Mike Macdonald era now that we have a new head coach?

Although many Seahawks fans would have been happy to accept a top two finish in the division, an emotional loss to the 49ers and a struggling defense has some fans looking ahead to a post-Pete Carroll future. But wouldn't this outcome have been considered a success six months ago? It's going to be difficult though to stay above .500 with the Kansas City Chiefs as the next opponent on...2022-12-231h 16Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fansThe Seahawks can't fix the run defense this seasonAfter the Seahawks were destroyed by the run game against the Carolina Panthers, it doesn't get much easier for the defense facing the San Francisco 49ers tonight. Pete Carroll was asked about what needs to be done to fix this team's ability to stop the run. Based on his answer, it is more of a personnel problem than scheme problem. Don't expect a fix this season. The Niners have been dealing with injury issues at quarterback, but they haven't seemed to lose anything with Brock Purdy at the helm. With Purdy fighting through injury, will we see...2022-12-1553 minSea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fansThe Panthers are a Trifecta of Seahawks KryptoniteThe Seattle Seahawks survived a nail biter on Sunday with a win over the Los Angeles Rams. Geno Smith, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett dominated the Rams secondary even with an offensive line that struggled against some of the Rams backups. Smith earned his first fourth quarter comeback with the Seahawks and DK earned his spot as perhaps the best receiver in the NFL. The game still shouldn't have been as close as it was, and part of the reason was to an interception call that made a great Bobby Wagner game even better. Adam has some thoughts on...2022-12-081h 35Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans3 IN, 3 OUT: CP Holds To Allow DK To CatchThe Seahawks return to starting in the IN column this week with the 27-23 victory over the Los Angeles Rams and we kick off the show with some Seahawks offensive moments from the first drive. Was Bobby Wagner a force in this game? Sure, but Seattle got him at least twice in this game. There was another Rams defender, however, a brown-eyed, terminating force that put two Seahawks offensive lineman into the OUT column. A Seahawks player draws a flag and still gets an in? And finally, a tight end stole our hearts, stole the show, and ripped the...2022-12-061h 07Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fansLoss Turns Week 13 into a Dreaded Must-Win Game vs RamsFans went into this week's game against the Raiders with the expectation for a win. It wasn't much different from the game against the struggling Tampa Bay team. So we explore why it could be that this loss hit fans a little bit harder than the one going into the bye week. There is one key stat that has led to a perfect winning formula for Seattle and it involves linebacker Cody Barton. Plus, what was Darrell Taylor thinking when he ran onto the field in the middle of a Quandre Diggs interception return? Looking ahead to...2022-12-021h 35Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans391: Beware the rookie wall in the second half of the Seahawks seasonThe Seahawks head into their bye week at 6-4 after some record predictions had Seattle at the bottom of the NFC West and winning only three games. With the loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs, they fall to 0-3 against the NFC South. We talk about what we want to see against the Panthers game in a few weeks to give us hope for the playoffs. If they hope to get there, there's one play that teams are going to continue to run against them until they figure out how to defend it. Could we see more man-to-man defense?2022-11-191h 41Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans390: Cardinals game is proof that Tariq Woolen has arrivedThe 2022 Seahawks rookie class has been impressive throughout the first half of the season, but cornerback Tariq Woolen may be the most impressive so far. Based on how the Arizona Cardinals approached Woolen and his performance against one of the league's top receivers, we can now say that the rookie has officially arrived on the NFL scene as one of the league's top corners after only nine career games. Ken Walker also delivered another impressive performance against Arizona, but can he do it against a Tampa Bay defense that has some big names in the middle of their defense?2022-11-101h 29Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans3 IN, 3 OUT: Uncle Will's Really Good WeekJust like every good baseball team needs a solid closer, the Seattle Seahawks may have found a player to help close out their wins with running back Ken Walker. However, as we dive into the nooks and crannies of this week's win, there might be one spot in the rookie's game in need of improvement. Michael Jackson came up with a soul crushing play on defense and Noah Fant had an impressive performance on offense. But when it came to Will Dissly, we had a hard time deciding if he came up more clutch in the blocking game or...2022-11-081h 24Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fansThe Seahawks defense steps up to shut down the Giants offenseAfter dominating the New York Giants last week, the Seahawks remain at the top of the NFC West standings. Although Tyler Lockett had a rough day, he was able to redeem himself in the end. There were moments on camera during the game and even after the game that shows just how close this team is growing together. Ken Walker didn't jump off the stat sheet, but he still jumped off the screen with his one touchdown run. The Seahawks defense completely shut down the Giants run game and were all over Daniel Jones early on when he tried t...2022-11-041h 59Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fansThe Loser is Not For Real BowlSince the season started with the Seahawks Super Bowl (facing off against Russ and the Denver Broncos), Adam is continuing with the theme of naming a lot of these matchups. Geno Smith is on the third leg of his "revenge tour" as one listener points out that he's 2-0 now going up against Russ and a former team in the Chargers. This week's theme? The loser is not for real. There are questions surrounding both the Giants and the Seahawks if their success can be sustainable throughout the season and are legitimate playoff teams. This game should...2022-10-271h 18Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fansGeno Smith is officially on Rich Gannon career resurgence watchWith the Seahawks 48-45 performance against the Detroit Lions, it helped earn several players league-wide recognition for their performance. Geno Smith was named player of the week, Rashaad Penny earned the honor of the ground player of the week and Tariq Woolen was among the finalists for top defensive honors. But was that good football overall? And how did it compare to the shootout we watched a few years back between the Chiefs and Rams? There is some optimism that the Seahawks may be able to turn things around defensively with a few players who were injured...2022-10-061h 30Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fansSeahawks lack on consistency on defense is holding the team backThe Seattle Seahawks offense bounced back after six straight quarters of failing to score as we saw a unit that can at least put up points against sub-par defenses. Defensively for Seattle, it appears to be a different story. Are they a broken unit? Or can Pete Carroll and Clint Hurtt find a way to get the guys in position to at least stop the run? Seattle will give us a chance to help us answer those questions again this week as they go up against a very similar team to the Falcons.

Geno Smith was efficient in the passing game, but Seattle was never able to run the ball effectively and got run over early by the 49ers offense. Was this game closer than the score indicated though? Or was the outcome indicative of a more dominant San Francisco team that now has a quarterback capable of taking this team into the playoffs? The Seahawks could face a tougher matchup that initially expected when we looked at...2022-09-221h 40Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fansA win Pete Carroll really, really wanted for the SeahawksWe got an honest moment from head coach Pete Carroll this week and he freely admitted how much this game meant to get the win to kick off the season. However, in an interview after the game he did leave us guessing as to some of the reasons why it meant so much more. Either way, the Seahawks got the win over the Denver Broncos as the former Seahawks quarterback and it could have been much worse for Denver if not for a few key mistakes during the game.

The likelihood that Dunbar would play for the team looked low throughout offseason, but now that his legal issues have been resolved Seattle’s secondary will get a big boost with both Dunbar and Adams. As we watch for a boost on the defensive line, the only recent addition was to sign Branden Jackson back to the team.

Jamal Adams was an All-Pro in 2019 and second team All-Pro the year before. Seattle is getting a player who immediately gives them another player on the defensive side of the ball that opposing teams will need to account for. But it also came at a big cost. While Pete Carroll and John Schneider have dealt first round picks in the past, no trade comes close to the amount of risk associated with this deal. But giving up two future first round picks, it means t...2020-07-2655 minSea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fansArizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival 2020Please help out the show by nominating the Sea Hawkers Podcast for the 15th Annual People's Choice Podcast Awards.

With the relatively lack of news, some of the biggest news still remains the comments from Pete Carroll revisiting the team's decision not to sign Colin Kaepernick.

First, we discuss the rumor that apparently was being thrown around two years ago, but was apparently only worth reporting now that Russell Wilson is being considered as the second-most untradeable player in the offseason.

In free agency news, Seattle continues to add to the offensive line by bringing back Mike Iupati. What does this mean for the team in terms of how they approach the 2020 draft and which players are going to be competing for which positions?

What is making this decision so difficult for Seattle's top pass rusher? In the meantime, the Seahawks made two moves that have some potential upside for the roster by sending a 5th round draft pick to Washington for a cornerback going into the final year of his contract.

So with NFL free agency moving on as scheduled, the Seahawks are focusing primarily on the offensive line while adding a veteran pass rusher as Bruce Irvin returns to the Seahawks.

This could signal a few different things with regard to Jadeveon Clowney. Perhaps they've decided to move on from Clowney (a bit too early to seem likely), or it could be that they are trying to gauge the market before making their best offer to Clowney.

As frustrating as it was to see once again the Seahawks trying to overcome a big first half deficit, the defenses inability to quickly adjust to the Packers plan to carve the defense with throws to Davante Adams.

The problem was the one mistake they made was on their side of the field and the Seahawks couldn't capitalize unless they had a short field.
