Is this really a "measuring stick" game for the Seahawks? We discuss whether beating the Bucs would finally get the national media to take Seattle seriously, or if they'll still have something to prove with a win. Both teams have had some shaky performances against questionable teams, at the same time they both seem to be playoff caliber team. How is that possible? The Bucs are banged up, missing key players like Jamel Dean, Mike Evans, and Bucky Irving, while the Seahawks are dealing with their own absences on defense.

Things to watch! Can the Seahawks finally find some rhythm in the run game, or will the Bucs' run defense shut them down? Targeting the Bucs linebackers in coverage could be the key to unlocking the passing game. Will Seattle's 64% red zone scoring rate be the difference-maker? Could this be the breakout game for Derrick Hall? Nick Emmanwori is back and Ty Okada will fill in for Julian Love. How will the Seahawks approach the secondary with Derion Kendrick also filling in for Devon Witherspoon?

Closing the show, Adam takes aim at Shedeur Sanders for his media antics, while Brandan calls out Rams fans for their complaints following the loss to the Niners. Better at Life honors go to Daisy Foko Granson gets a nod for her innovation in ACL recovery and Bijan Robinson is celebrated for his work to improve childhood literacy in Atlanta.
