The Seahawks Syndicate: What does Seattle need to make a Super Bowl run?

The Seahawks Syndicate: What does Seattle need to make a Super Bowl run?

We’re less than 24 hours away from the biggest game of the Seattle Seahawks’ 2025 season, and one of their biggest in years. A win over the Los Angeles Rams puts them in control of the NFC West and on the cusp of capturing the NFC’s No. 1 seed. A loss could send them down to third place by the end of Week 16 behind the Rams and San Francisco 49ers, all but assuring that any path to the Super Bowl would have to go through the Wild Card.

While the Seahawks have racked up four wins in a row...

Seahawks-Rams Week 16 injury news: Charles Cross potentially out for rest of regular season

Seahawks-Rams Week 16 injury news: Charles Cross potentially out for rest of regular season

The game designations for the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams have been made, and while the good news is Seattle only has one player declared out for Thursday’s possible division title decider, the bad news is that player is facing a multi-week injury.

Left tackle Charles Cross was always going to be a longshot to play after injuring his hamstring on Seattle’s game-winning field goal over the Indianapolis Colts, so it’s no shock that he’s confirmed to be out for Thursday. What is a bigger deal is the likelihood that he won’t be back until the playoffs, assuming the...

Seahawks All-22 review: The good and bad from Seattle’s close win vs. Colts

Seahawks All-22 review: The good and bad from Seattle’s close win vs. Colts

The Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Indianapolis Colts fits neatly into the category of games where the final score masks a lot of underlying issues. From an All-22 perspective, snap by snap, this was a win built more on competitiveness, defensive execution, and timely plays than on a coherent or efficient offensive performance.

In classic Field Gulls fashion, the tape presents a very clear split between what worked and what absolutely did not.

5Qs & 5As: Previewing Seahawks-Rams rematch with Turf Show Times

NFL action in Week 16 starts off with the most anticipated game of the week.

For those who have grown accustomed to Thursday Night Football in December bringing meaningless matchups between the likes of the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars or the like, this week the game features the only two teams in the NFC with 11 wins in the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams.

Joining Field Gulls to preview the game is Evan Craig of Turf Show Times, and since readers didn’t click on this post to read the pre-question fluff, here are the five questions posed and...

Jason Myers brings home NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Jason Myers brings home NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Was there any other option for the NFL to choose for the NFC Special Teams Player of the week than Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers?

After Myers split the uprights six times on Sunday, including a 56-yard game-winning field goal, to set a franchise record and will the Seahawks past the Indianapolis Colts, you’d be hard pressed to find one. His performance earned him his second Special Teams Player of the Week award as a Seahawk, just one shy of tying the franchise record held by John Brown.

Myers’ honor continues his hot streak in the 2025 season after being...

The Seahawks should abandon the run game to win the division

The Seahawks should abandon the run game to win the division

We’re still running off the joyful fumes of a touchdown-less victory over the Indianapolis Colts are we not?

I wrote earlier about the struggles on offense being more tied to the line than the quarterback, and that conversation has been full of cheer. That sets us up beautifully for this:

The Seattle Seahawks should drastically scale back the run game in order to set up the pass.

This is not clickbait. I haven’t spoken to John Gilbert in days. This is about a team that has swung the pendulum in its own skillset, a league that has finally adjusted successfully...

Seattle Seahawks announce game captains for massive rematch vs. LA Rams

The Seahawks come to a fitting fork in the road on Thursday Night Football this week. This team will see a chance to avenge a close loss against a division rival perfectly dovetail with the opportunity to stake claim to the #1 seed in the NFC against a Super Bowl contender.

With such weighty implications set for this grudge match, Seattle is set to feature some of their established stars in each phase of the game as captains. The three who will serve include wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba on offense, linebacker Ernest Jones IV on defense and kicker Jason Myers...

Everyone is wrong about Cooper Kupp

Everyone is wrong about Cooper Kupp

The Cooper Kupp hate is weird, man.

The Seattle Seahawks currently utilize Kupp has their WR2 or WR3 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. That’s not his fault – the entire NFL is behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

But all this commentary this season about Kupp “not being the player he once was” is overblown. In fact, an argument exists that it’s not even factual.

So let’s hear the argument, and for the love of God dear commentators you don’t have to end every statement on Kupp with a remark on how much better he was five years ago.

Kupp’s got 519 receiving yards to...

Seahawks-Rams Week 16 injury report: It’s not looking good for Charles Cross

Seahawks-Rams Week 16 injury report: It’s not looking good for Charles Cross

The Seattle Seahawks haven’t had an actual practice during this short week turnaround to face the Los Angeles Rams. In a world where the Seahawks did do a normal practice, the injury report looks very clean except for one key player: Charles Cross.

Seattle’s standout left tackle left Sunday’s 18-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts with a hamstring injury following an awkward landing on Jason Myers’ winning field goal. Unsurprisingly, both Monday and Tuesday merited DNPs for Cross, which puts his status for Thursday’s game in doubt. If he misses his first game all season, Josh Jones would be the...

Four Down Territory: Jason Myers beats Philip Rivers, 18-16

Well, it wasn’t quite Rocky vs Apollo, but the heavyweight (sorry, that was mean) battle between the Seattle Seahawks’ much maligned kicker and Rivers doing his best Dennis Quaid “The Rookie” impression was some of the best bad football I can remember.

It was a historic day in Seattle for a lot of reasons. We saw a Seahawks team that looked like they may have been looking ahead to their date with the Los Angeles Rams, instead find themselves in the fight of their lives as the 44 year old gunslinger had Seattle on the ropes. The all-field goal performance...

Seahawks waive core special teamer

The stretch run has arrived and the Seattle Seahawks are getting healthy.

In recent weeks several members of the team have returned from injured reserve or, as in the case of rookie Rylie Mills, been activated from the nonfootball injury list.

The side effect of that is that the team has needed to create spots on the roster to accommodate the now-healthy players returning from injured reserve, and which has led to the waiving of several veterans, including Quinton Bohanna, Shaquill Griffin and Cam Akers.

Tuesday afternoon the Seahawks reportedly made a move to open up a roster spot, potentially...
