Our weekly list of three things we learned starts with the quarterback I don't think could have done anything better in Sunday's game.
Geno Smith, Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield showed the value that can be found in picking up a car that other teams have deemed a lemon.
Before we get to the renaissance of Russell Wilson, we've got to conduct a little bit of crowd control first in Seattle and then New York.
Yes, Geno Smith is the biggest question facing the Seahawks, but there's (at least) seven regular-season games before there needs to be any decision.
When another NFL team works as hard as the Jets did to give one away, you don't need to apologize nor are you required to express gratitude. Just smile and move on to the next one.
The success Seattle has had over these past three weeks can be traced back to what the Seahawks do in the final 2 minutes of each half, and I can prove it.
A season that looked sunk just three weeks has changed dramatically because the Seahawks have changed dramatically. There's a lesson in there.
After six straight whuppings, the Seahawks put up a fight that was more than just respectable against San Francisco.
The Huskies need one win for a bowl game, the Seahawks need a win to remain relevant and Mike Tyson needs to not lose to a YouTuber.
Comments from Wednesday's poll, asking whether Seattle will make the playoffs.
I'm going to explain why Seahawks willingness to look bad in the short-term is something that pays off in the long run.
I asked, you answered about just how you felt about Seattle's first-year head coach after nine games.
I'll admit to being surprised that Mike Macdonald's defense hasn't provided a more immediate boost to the Seahawks. That might be my mistake, though, not his.
Seattle's offensive line is so bad that I don't think you can accurately evaluate its quarterback or even its offensive coordinator.
The next three games will determine not just the outcome of this season, but the trajectory of this franchise.
