Seahawks celebrate a huge win over the then #1 team in the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles. Sam eats a ton of crow as he was the only one to predict a Seahawks loss.

With four games remaining, the ride is just beginning to start. Mike Davis is our RB Jesus compiling 101 yards from scrimmage.

Seahawks return to Sunday Night Football taking on the #1 team in the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Seahawks open the betting line as a home-dog for the first time in 5 years (last game was against the Patriots in 2012). The Seahawks didn't give up a sack offensively due to Russell Wilson's escapeability but also the OL was credited with "solid" protection. Kam Chancellor was officially put on IR but reports are that he's still interested in coming back next year. Seattle starts a 5-game stretch where they face 4 quality opponents.

Topic #1 - The Seahawks are on the outside looking in at the 7th Seed; is this a playoff caliber team?

Topic #2 - What makes these Seahawks so hard to blow out?

Topic #3 Homer Corner - Is the Seahawks Home-field advantage a thing of the past?

The fourth loss by one score; this time Seahawks actually had a chance to tie with a late FG but it falls a yard short. Seahawks lose their rookie CB to the concussion protocol and wunder-veteran Dwight Freeney got released. Questionable challenges, play calls, and time management doom the Seahawks as they lose playoff positioning and a chance for the NFC West.

Topic #2 - Seahawks are top-5 in lowest dead money; what does that mean for the future?

Roster moves all week long (Sherm & Prosise to IR), Maxie back and Davis promoted, then a lot of moves on the Practice Squad. Seahawks move to 6-3 but face an up-hill battle for the NFC West and top-seeding in the NFC. Every Seahawks bemoaned the short rest between playing at home Sunday to an away Thursday Night Game. They do get extended rest with the next game being Monday Night Football against the 5-4 Atlanta Falcons. Bennett (and the DLine) stand during the anthem to show support for the Veteran's over the weekend to help people understand that their protest is not about the military. Jerry Jones wants to sue the NFL and his RB has accepted his suspension.

Topic #1 - What does the LOB mean to you? What's its future?

Topic #2 - Have the Seahawks finally admitted they are a Passing Team?

Topic #3 Homer Corner - Will you love any current Seahawks more than your first Seahawks love?

Seahawks Starting OL: Brown, Joeckel, Britt, Pocic, Ifedi

Surprise Seahawks Player

Seahawks suffer an embarrassing loss where they gave up the go-ahead score in 4-plays and 70-yards after they scored what looked like the game winner. Seahawks fall to 5-3 and are a game behind the NFC West leading LA Rams. Seattle's Kicker misses three FGs and at least one would have tied the game and two would have won the game. The short week for Thursday Night Football in Arizona means the Seahawks can't make too many changes. DE Dion Jordan gets activated but Seahawks lose Odiambo to the IR. Rawls is scheduled to carry the load with Lacy already ruled OUT.

Topic #1 Do the Seahawks always get the opponent's best game?

Topic #2 Mid-Season Grades (Offense, Defense, Coaching, Overall)

Topic #3 Homer Corner - Madden gamers study how to manage clock and the score; is there any value in NFL teams adopting these kind of philosophies?

Topic #4 Are the Cardinals a "real" rival or do you just dislike Bruce Arians?

Fantasy Update:

FanTable - Sam 4th, Ross 6th, & Zeb 10th

Three Step Drop - Lior 1st, Matty 2nd, & Coleman 11th

Sam (6-3) vs. Matty (6-3)

Zeb (3-6) vs. Lior (7-2)

Better to trade for talent or hope for something on the waiver wire?

Predictions:

Winner: Seattle vs. Arizona

Bruce Arian Red-Shade: Normal, Tomato, or Cherry

Seahawks Run-Pass Ratio: Even Ratio or Pass Heavy

Seahawks Score in the 1st Qtr: Yes/No

Seahawks win a thriller at home against a young and explosive Houston Texans team. Not only did the Texans face a daunting tasking of coming to Seattle but their owner's feelings were released days before the game that basically doesn't want the players running the league (he later clarified that he meant the league office attempting to run the league). Seahawks won for only the 2nd time under Pete Carroll where the Defense gave up more than 30+ points.

Topic #1 With a flurry of mid-season NFL trades; has the NFL made trading a new facet to the game?

Topic #2 The Offense scores 41; is the LOB past its prime?

Seahawks are on a 3-game win-streak with two of them coming on the road. They sit at 4-2 behind the 5-2 first-place Rams in the NFC West. Seahawks continue to start slow but turned on the jets after mistakes and drops riddled the first three-quarters of the game. The LOB locked down the Giants Offense and saw huge plays in all phases; Offense, Defense, Special Teams & Penalties.

Topic #1 Can the Seahawks truly survive in chaos?

Topic #2 With only one one-loss team; can the Seahawks climb to the top of the NFC? Who's in their way?

Topic #3 Homer Corner - What Seahawks statue should be erected in honor of a player or a play?

Better to sit with a lead going into the last few games or to have players going in the last few games?

Predictions:

More Turnovers: Wilson vs. Manning

More RB Yards: Seattle vs. New York

Percy Harvin SB Clip: Yes/No

Seahawks right the ship and get back to 2-2 right in the thick of the NFC and NFC West. Russell Wilson threw his interceptions of the year but still ended up with a 107+ QB rating.

This past weekend 200+ men protested and then they decided to play football. Seahawks add to their September road losses at 13 but we saw some really good/bad things.

Topic #2 Sunday Night Football comes to Seattle but which team will we see for both the Colts and Seahawks?
