The Big Nickel

The Seahawks Week 8 loss to the Detroit Lions was largely due to a 9 reception, 100 yard, 2 touchdown day from Titus Young. Their Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins was one where Davone Bess had 7 receptions for 129 yards. Even in wins to Chicago and Buffalo, Brandon Marshall  and Stevie Johnson recorded 10 receptions for 165 yards and 8 receptions for 115 yards respectively.

Seahawks fans have many differing opinions on the receiving core. Some believe the starting wide receivers Sidney Rice and Golden Tate are not true number one and number two wide receivers. Others believe tight end Zach Miller is overpaid to be a 30-40 catch a year guy and should be cut. Others believe that Rice, Tate, and Doug Baldwin form a solid trio of WRs and only depth is needed. But I think all fans believe the Seahawks should add someone to Russell Wilson’s arsenal.

Seahawks Ready for Next Shot

One year ago today the Seattle Seahawks players and coaches were watching the playoffs from their homes after finishing the season 7-9 for the second straight season and being excluded from postseason play. This year the Seahawks were two points and 31 seconds away from advancing to the NFC Championship Game and establishing themselves as one of the Nation Football League’s top four teams. And while Seahawks shouldn’t have had any shot to turn a blowout back into a ball game after falling behind 20-0 in the first half, they still found themselves leading 28-27 with only 31 seconds left on the game clock. The fact that the young, inexperienced Seahawks team that struggles on the road was almost able to muster up a 20 point comeback win on the number one seed Atlanta Falcon’s home turf speaks numbers about the second youngest team in the NFL. Seahawks fans finally have something to root for.
