Happy Thanksgiving, Field Gulls!

There are three games to watch on this holiday, two of which are actually good and a third we’re hoping is good because of the return of a superstar quarterback.

The day kicks off on FOX at 10 am PT with the 7-3-1 Green Bay Packers facing the 7-4 Detroit Lions in a key NFC North tilt. Detroit doesn’t want to risk a sweep against the Packers and falling to 1-3 in the division, so this is no doubt more of a biggie for the Lions.

Next up at 1:30 pm PT are the Dallas Cowboys...

I usually don’t believe in the “power” that certain taboos seem to have. The 1–9 Tennessee Titans didn’t look like a team capable of keeping the game within one possession — but that’s exactly what happened. The Seattle Seahawks committed several mistakes that prevented this matchup from being a major improvement compared to the game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Still, as I always say: a win is a win.

The Seattle Seahawks have selected starting left tackle Charles Cross as their nominee for the 2025 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. This is Cross’s first nomination for the award in his four-year NFL career.

Starting in 2014, the NFL has given the Art Rooney Award to a player that has demonstrated the values of sportsmanship in their play, with all 32 teams nominating a player for the award. The award was named in honor of the late Art Rooney Sr., founding owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“Sportsmanship is at the very the core of the game, the foundation of our values...

The wait continues for Seattle Seahawks safety Julian Love.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters prior to Wednesday’s Week 13 practice for the Minnesota Vikings game that Love will not be designated for return to practice, thereby ruling him out for this Sunday. It’ll be Love’s ninth missed game of the year, having only missed two games total in his first six seasons in the NFL.

Love was eligible to come off of injured reserve this week, having missed the minimum four games dating back to the win over the Washington Commanders. In his absence, Ty Okada has played...

Any thought of former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Derion Kendrick returning to the team as a member of the practice squad was put to rest on Wednesday.

Kendrick was claimed off waivers by none other than the Los Angeles Rams, his original team. As it’s a waiver claim, Kendrick goes straight to the active roster. It seems as if he’s a direct replacement for Roger McCreary, whom the Rams acquired via trade from the Tennessee Titans only to place him on injured reserve after a single defensive snap.

The Seahawks let Kendrick go on Tuesday after several weeks seeing minimal playing...

Looking ahead to the Seattle Seahawks Week 13 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, the injury report isn’t getting any shorter. In addition to the expected “Did Not Participate” from Ty Okada and George Holani, who were both injured against the Tennessee Titans, the biggest surprise may be Uchenna Nwosu also being out with an ankle injury. Nwosu has had terrible injury luck the last few seasons, and is an on-field leader as well as a productive part of the EDGE rotation. Maybe a good Thanksgiving meal tomorrow will do his body good?

The other news of note is the first...

The Seattle Seahawks announced a flurry of roster moves ahead of their Week 13 match-up against the Minnesota Vikings. Some of these moves were already known as their news broke earlier in the week (such as the waiving of cornerback Derion Kendrick, and the additions of safety Quandre Diggs to the practice squad, and running back Cam Akers to the 53-man roster.)

However, the moves that were not known include the promotions of cornerback Shaquill Griffin and linebacker Patrick O’Connell to the 53-man roster. To make room for those two (plus Akers), linebacker Chazz Surratt was placed on injured reserve....

Why is it that the Denver Broncos are so often inclined to assist the Seattle Seahawks in every which way? In the 2009 NFL Draft, Josh McDaniels, et al, were desperate to draft a cornerback by the name of Alphonso Smith.

The Broncos, in their mind, needed to move up in the second round to secure the pick before, well, someone else snatched Smith up. They called the ‘Hawks and proposed a trade, using their 2010 first round pick to seal the deal. Seattle, in turn, used that pick to add safety Earl Thomas and helped propel McDaniels to his...

The Seattle Seahawks sit in second place in the NFC West, and if the season ended today would be in line to claim a Wild Card spot in the playoffs.

However, the injury bug has hit the roster hard, with several key members of the team either on injured reserve, or playing through injury as they attempt to remain on the active roster.

One of the players whose status is in question is third string running back George Holani, who injured a hamstring against the Tennessee Titans in Week 12, an injury [that could see him land on injured reserve...

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 158 snaps in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Tory Horton being placed on IR certainly had a major impact on that number. It could have been even lower had Grey Zabel not managed to play through injury. It’s also worth noting that the offense had 26 fewer plays than in the previous game, which reduced the overall snap count — especially because all of our rookies, except Nick Emmanwori, play on offense.

Let’s analyze some of the key plays from this game!
