Seahawks fans welcome to the 84th edition of the Hawks Playbook Podcast! Today, Keith and Bill delve into the painful home loss against the Los Angeles Rams. It’s only painful because the Seattle Seahawks exceeded expectations in the game to the point where we should have won this game. We certainly put ourselves in a position to win until the final possession, until two offensive line penalties took us out of field goal range and we had to punt the ball back to the Rams offense. As things worked out, the Rams were able to do just enough and run out the close to preserve a 33-31 win.

Seahawks fans welcome back to the Hawks Playbook Podcast. This week’s show drives into the second game and second loss of the season vs the Chicago Bears. What went right and what went wrong in the 24-17 defeat? Keith and Bill explore all of that and get into the nuts and bolts of what might be wrong with Coach Pete Carroll. What’s happening with Coach Brian Shottenheimer’s offensive scheme and why it’s likely not lining up with Russell Wilson’s skill set.

Welcome back Seahawks fans to another addition of the Hawks Playbook Podcast! It’s our first regular season show of the 2018 season, and we start it off looking back to the loss in Denver’s home opener. Seattle fell 27-24 to a not so special Bronco’s team, but they were good enough for 3 hours to hand it to our Seahawks. Keep in mind that Denver really doesn’t lose much in September, and virtually not at all at home. This was Denver’s 7th straight win in home openers. There were several standout performers for the Seahawks including Will Dissly, the NFL’s highest rated TE in week one. He posted 3 catches. 105 yards and 1 TD. His 66-yard reception and run were a thing of beauty for a 265lb human! How about Earl Thomas and Bradley McDougald? The safety pair produced all three of Seattle’s turnovers and kept us in the game. We couldn’t go without mentioning Michael Dickson. He had an stellar debut for the Seahawks with 6 punts and a 59-yard Net average including a 59-yarder downed at the 2-yard line and a 69-yard punt that went out of bounds at the Denver 6-yard line. He’s going to be a weapon all season….and we’re going to need him!

Hello and welcome back to the Hawks Playbook Podcast. We made it to the 1st game of the season! The long wait is over and the games that count in the 2018 season begin Sunday, Sept. 9th at 1:25pm at The Denver Broncos. The Seahawks have historically struggled in Denver, and in season opening games on the road in general. But Denver is also retooling so to speak, and this contest is pretty evenly matched. Regardless, we’re here now, at the beginning of a new season where each team starts 0-0. Let’s go get the first one!!
