The Ian Furness Show

As Ian makes his way back to Seattle after the game in Atlanta, Mike Gastineau steps in for today's show, making it despite some sort of problem on the ferry. What was the problem? No one knows because the announcement was completely inaudible. Why is it that all of the unimportant announcements are made clear as a bell, but the ones that actually contain important information are totally and completely unlistenable? The Hawks did in fact play a football game yesterday, and hey, they won, although you wouldn't know it from listening to some fans. Hugh Millen joins us for Hardcore Football: Is he a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty guy after yesterday's game? Could D. K. Metcalf be the next Julio Jones, and are we getting the best out of Jadeveon Clowney?

Earlier this summer Gas bid on a four-pack of Husky tickets only to realize later that he couldn't go, and one lucky KJR listener will benefit. Are robot umpires in our future? After what happened last night, it seems more likely. The Athletic's Mike Sando with thoughts on everything happening in the NFL. The Seahawks have the toughest opposing strength of schedule over the rest of the regular season, but is it really as difficult as it might appear? Top ten teams facing unranked opponents favored by less than five are 1-13 since 2005. Oh look, Washington is an unranked team, facing Utah, a top 10 team, and Utah is only favored by 3.5. Take the Dawgs. It's the Fact or Fiction pick. Gas and Softy discuss the Monday Night game, and fickle fanbases.

The Hawks are in Atlanta this weekend taking on the 1-6 Falcons with a coach on the hot seat, and a number of injuries including possibly their quarterback. As Brian Baldinger puts it, they're just playing bad football. The Hawks have a difficult schedule coming up. This is as close to a gimme as they're going to get. This shouldn't just be a game with a last-minute pull-ahead win. This should be wrapped up early. With more detailed insight on the matchup, NFL Films' Greg Cosell.
