Field Gulls
While the Seattle Seahawks are kicking off their 50th season this weekend, Field Gulls is entering its 20th season! Hard to believe we’ve been around for that long, but it’s true. I know we have many community members who have been a part of Field Gulls in some capacity for at least close to the site’s inception, but every year we have new readers and users who may be unfamiliar with our work.
As promised on Wednesday when I introduced the staff for the 2025 season, this article is all about what you should expect to see every week from Field Gulls throughout the regular (and, hopefully) postseason for 2025. I’m leaving out obvious things like any injury news, roster changes, game day inactives, practice squad elevations, press conference quotes, game captains, final score write-ups, etc. since those are must-haves if you’re covering a team. You’ll definitely see those each week, but what about other content that helps make Field Gulls stand out?
Field Gulls’ lead Seahawks film analyst Alexandre Castro will take a closer look at an upcoming Seattle opponent, using a mixture of statistics and film study for his analysis. This is Alexandre’s second season with Field Gulls and we look forward to more great technical breakdowns from him!
This is not a weekly feature, but it’s one that you’ll see conducted throughout SB Nation as a means of getting that special opposition insight from someone who follows the team regularly. John Gilbert or myself usually answer the five questions, and we cross-post our work between Field Gulls and the opposition site. It’s one of the long-standing SB Nation traditions!
I don’t remember what spawned this series last season, but it’s going to be a regular staple. Each week I make five predictions related to an upcoming Seahawks game, separated into five categories: bold, Seahawks offense, Seahawks defense, opposition, and final score. Usually these go wayward within 10 minutes after kickoff, but that doesn’t deter me one bit.
One change from years past is reducing the game threads from quarters to halves. We believe the site loads fast enough now that we can handle dividing game threads into halves. That could change if there are issues brought up by community members, but this also means less hopping around when things can get frantic between quarters. We encourage new members to participate in the game threads, but behave yourselves because we know tensions can get a little heated when the Seahawks aren’t doing so well.
We will have open threads for all non-Seahawks regional windows (early game, late game, or all of Sunday depending on when Seattle plays), as well as all nationally broadcast games. Those will remain on the front page even with the addition of The Feed on the side.
