The Seahawks are a team capable of winning all their remaining games. But not if they continue to have multiple 2,3 or more turnover games. The O-line has been allowing too much pressure, but Bradford should be back and perhaps it will shore things up as a result. The running game needs to threaten big plays for teams to respect it enough for play action to work. Charbs and Price will both be able to bring that threat and they should be back soon. Sam needs to find a way to settle his feet and make better throws. Seeing the field better or understanding who is likely to be open would help as well.
I see the most likely finish for the Seahawks as 13 wins. The ceiling as 14 wins. The floor will be determined by how Sam plays against KC. If he turns the ball over 2 or more times, we are capable of losing several more games. That graphic on TNF stating the Seahawks are 14 wins 0 losses with 0 or 1 turnover and 6 wins 6 losses when committing 2 or more turnovers tell the story.
Sam is the QB the Seahawks want, but he may not be the QB the Seahawks need. They want him because he’s capable of 350 to 400 yards in a game and 3 or 4 TDs. I read somewhere that in the 14 games Lock has started since 2021 he’s thrown 6 INTs. Lock may be the QB the Seahawks need, but not who they want. The Seahawks don’t need a QB who can put up incredible numbers. 200 or 225 yards passing and 1 or 2 TDs is more than enough without turnovers. This defense does not need the offense to score 48 points. Consider how many points opponents have scored on the Seahawks and how many of them have been a result of the poor play of the offense.
If Sam has 2 turnovers against KC, he should be on a very short leash. If he has 3 or more turnovers and they cause another loss, the right move would be to play Lock against the Bears. It’s not what the Seahawks want, but it is what they need to have a shot at the brass ring this year.
If the next game goes the way or worse, then major changes need to be made.
Brian Fleury's offense is vanilla with no real focus except for run up the middle twice then pass on third and long putting Sam in jeopardy. The O line is hurting especially Abe Lucas and at right guard without Anthony Bradford. Holani is not an answer and expecting Charbonet to be the same after ACL reconstruction surgery is foolish.
Where is the creativity seen last year? Wasn't Fleury supposed to bring a similar plan as last year? I read he was really a great interview, where did that go? He looks like the deer in the headlights right now.
Where is our free agent at edge? Have not seen anything from him. Edge play is lacking overall. Defense is out on the field too long and too much.
Turnovers and penalties. Ken nailed the last article on hindsight. K9 and no upgrades at WR as well as almost nothing for the TE output and this offense is blazingly bad except for JSN. Is that Fluery, AB out, JD struggling, or Sam regressing? Maybe all of the above, but we have what we have at this point unless JS pulls a big trade out again. I am not watching this Chiefs game as I don’t see much chance with this offense. And yes, I am too negative but I go with the results and we are not going back to SB with this execution so they better figure it out soon.
I have become increasingly concerned with the offense bc I thought our OL would be among the best in the league based on how they closed out last year. Bradford is missing but I fear it’s coaching “creativity” that’s causing the fall-off. Return the OL to where it was last yr and everyone else will play better.
No need for any “return” on defense — still the best defense in all of football.
S/T is just bench FCR (“Fair Catch Rashid”) and we’ll be fine.
To be frank, I don't see much of a difference between this season and last season to this point other than the Hawks are 3-3 rather than 4-2 and Sam has more turnovers. The defense is playing well and the offense will get there when they cut down on the errors and the O-line gets it together.
Last year, through 6 games the Hawks had just one convincing win (Saints) and barely beat the Cards and the Jags and win in Pittsburg on a boneheaded special teams play by the Steelers. They lose to the Niners and Bucs by 3 points margins. That seems very familiar to this season.
The only reason they aren't 6-0 right now are turnovers and think they get that under control. I could still see them win the division and the #1 seed as they did last year. The Niners are 5-0 but they can't seem to get a handle on their injury issues. Is it out of the question to see them lose a few more guys and drop 4 of 5?
The Rams have major issues that are persisting year to year that they ignore every offseason and act surprised when they bite them in the butt in the regular season (special teams, WR depth). The Eagles have already given up. The Vikings are 5-0 but have no offense. There are no teams in the NFC that look dominating. The NFC is still wide open.
We’ll be fine. Need to get back to the basics on O and keep the ball secure. I feel strongly 12 wins is most likely once we get rolling. We’re super hard to score on with a regular field position drive. That generally plays out well for wins
I also think we’ll be fine. These losses have all been so weird and have all felt the exact same way. “How in the hell did we just lose that game? If not for that one thing, our that one thing…” It seems like stat-wise we were completely dominant in this last one. It’s clear that the TOs are killing us more than anything, but i wonder what our compiled stats over these 6 games look like vs our opponents? I could be wrong, but if we remove turnovers from the list, it might make someone wonder how on earth this team is 3-3.

Go Hawks!
Good going, Bob. Keep that vision up.
