Seahawks All-22 Review: The good and bad from the 49ers loss

Seahawks All-22 Review: The good and bad from the 49ers loss

I mentioned in the preview for this game that a bit of overreaction is natural in Week 1. I believe the time without watching the regular season makes us eager to get angry in case of a loss and excited in case of a win.

Realistically, things are likely to change a lot during the season. They could even change significantly for Week 2 (not that I believe that). So let’s take a closer look at the Seattle Seahawks’ performance in their home loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

All data used in this article was taken from PFF.

Seahawks ran NFL’s statistically most stale offense of Week 1

Seahawks ran NFL’s statistically most stale offense of Week 1

This is one of those moments where the statistics support the eye test.

If you watched the Week 1 loss and thought the Seattle Seahawks offense was lifeless and boring, you get a prize! Statistically, the Seahawks were the least “interesting”* team in the league.

*Interesting defined as: cool, successful, full of touchdowns, and also any semblance whatsoever of pre-and-post-snap razzle-dazzle.

Here’s what happened.

After one of the most exciting preseason games of the summer – Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs – Seattle was the most statistically vanilla offense in the first game that actually mattered.

The Seattle Seahawks have brought in a trio of offensive linemen for workouts on Tuesday.

Listed on the NFL transaction wire were the workouts of offensive linemen Bobby Hart, Shane Lemieux, and Matt Walesko.

Hart has been an NFL journeyman since 2015, playing for seven different teams, recording 67 starts during that time. Lemieux, the Yakima, Washington native, started his career with the New York Giants from 2020-2023 before joining the New Orleans Saints in 2024, when he played for current Seahawks offensive coordinator Klink Kubiak, offensive line coach John Benton, and run game coordinator Rick Dennison. Walesko is in...

Why Ken Walker is not the Seahawks lead back

Why Ken Walker is not the Seahawks lead back

In 2022 Ken Walker burst onto the scene for the Seattle Seahawks, rushing for 1,050 yards and nine touchdowns during his rookie campaign.

However, in the two seasons since Walker has failed to exceed the lofty expectations laid out by that splash performance, and in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers he was outsnapped by third year running back Zach Charbonnet.

The question for many fans was exactly how and why Walker saw the field less than Charbonnet, and why it appeared that the offensive line opted to not block when Walker had the ball. The answer to those...

49ers waive Jake Moody after Week 1 woes in Seattle

49ers waive Jake Moody after Week 1 woes in Seattle

Well at least a little bit of good came out of this one.

Despite Kyle Shanahan saying in his post-game press conference that Jake Moody’s job security was unquestionably safe, the Seattle Seahawks managed to get the San Francisco 49ers to waive kicker Jake Moody following Sunday’s loss. Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Niners’ former third-round pick is now gone after a frustrating tenure with the organization, lasting just over two seasons in the Bay Area.

Prior to the start of this season, Moody converted a paltry 70.6 percent of field goal tries in 2024, converting on just 24...

Seahawks All-22 Review: The good and bad from Seattle’s rookies vs. 49ers

Seahawks All-22 Review: The good and bad from Seattle’s rookies vs. 49ers

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for just 119 snaps in the team’s 17-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday. Since I started writing this weekly review, it’s never been so difficult to find highlights. The game was a complete letdown, but that’s something I’ll cover in the full analysis article.
All data used in this article was taken from PFF.

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

Grey Zabel, Left Guard (52 snaps)

Of course, you can’t pin all your hopes on a unit that’s been problematic for years with a rookie. However, Zabel...

Snap Reactions: Offense underwhelms as rookies play silent roles

Snap Reactions: Offense underwhelms as rookies play silent roles

Sunday the Seattle Seahawks opened their 2025 season, dropping yet another home game at Lumen Field to the division rival San Francisco 49ers.

The loss to a rival which finished the game with the majority of its offensive weapons unable to take the field due to injury certainly stings, but Mike Macdonald and company will have a chance to right the ship in Week 2.

When it comes to who played and how much, there were not a ton of surprises that came out of the game. On the offensive side of the ball Zach Charbonnet outsnapped Kenneth Walker 30-21,...

In Today’s Links: Coach Macdonald had a press conference (and said some things), opinions on multiple unrequited 4th downs in Sunday’s game, Seattle Seahawks trade targets, and more!

Monday Night Football open thread: Vikings at Bears

What is so alluring about this matchup that it ends up on national television almost every year? Seriously, the Bears have not warranted that type of attention over the years.

This year might be different. Caleb Williams’ second season will be his first with former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who’s made his way over to the Bears as their new head coach. Will the Bears have a watchable offense? Will the Bears actually threaten a playoff spot?

Meanwhile, the Vikings boasted a 14-3 record under Sam Darnold and somehow didn’t win the NFC North or even a playoff...

Mike Macdonald gives unfortunate update on Nick Emmanwori

Mike Macdonald gives unfortunate update on Nick Emmanwori

One of the bright spots of the Seattle Seahawks’ opening week loss to the San Francisco 49ers was Nick Emmanwori. The versatile rookie safety recorded the team’s first tackle for loss of the 2025 season.

It was the fifth play of the season. It was Emmanwori’s final defensive play.

Emmanwori exited the game with a limp and an unknown ankle injury, which Mike Macdonald initially thought might not be a high-ankle sprain.

That tune changed on Monday afternoon, with the worse diagnosis coming true. No decision has come yet as to whether he will miss a good portion (minimum four...

Four Down Territory: Seahawks fail first test

Four Down Territory: Seahawks fail first test

Oof, that one hurt. The Seattle Seahawks came into Week 1 riding some preseason momentum, while the San Francisco 49ers came in wounded and into hostile territory. What felt like it should have been a “changing of the guard” game, instead turned into San Francisco reminding Seattle who’s the big brother.

A brutal 17-13 loss in the final moments at home (again) now leaves the Seahawks in a difficult early hole, and that week one hope feels like a distant memory.

Let’s break it down.
