Field Gulls

Photo by Steph Chambers/ It’s the last Pac-12 title game ever! This is Casual Friday, the open thread where we talk about things other than the Seattle Seahawks. Today’s open thread is a combo of the Pac-12 title game between Oregon and Washington (5 PM, ABC) and also telling everyone what your personal Ws were for the month of November! The Seahawks didn’t do a lot of winning last month, but maybe you have some victories you’d like to share! No matter how big or small, all wins are welcome! And then of course, there’s the big game in Vegas. Will the Ducks get...

Photo by Ron Jenkins/ Not cool, Jamal. Not cool at all. Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams was beaten for what was essentially the winning touchdown by Jake Ferguson in Thursday’s 41-35 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. As if that wasn’t enough, he made matters worse on social media on Friday. New York Jets beat reporter Connor Hughes, who’s covered the team since Adams was still with them, tweeted/X’ed “Yikes” on the touchdown. He never mentioned Jamal by name, but it’s pretty clear who the “Yikes” is for. Nothing more, nothing less. That prompted Adams to...

Perry Knotts/ The 49ers play a huge road game against the Eagles, but they aren’t the only won with pivotal game this Sunday, Big time rematch ahead! The San Francisco 49ers are going to be traveling to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in what can only be described as a highly-anticipated 2022 NFC Championship reenactment. Adding to the excitement is the fact that both teams appear to be running it back this season as two of the conference’s biggest competitors. Needless to say, this is a pretty crucial game for both teams. But they aren’t alone, as Sunday will...

Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports Moral victories are not actual victories. The Seattle Seahawks’ playoff hopes are not on life support, but they are in critical condition after dropping Thursday’s 41-35 thriller with the Dallas Cowboys. A 6-3 record has given way to a losing streak that puts them at 6-6 with five games to go. This is almost exactly how last season almost unraveled, when the team went from 6-3 to 7-8 before winning out and getting some outside help in order to make the postseason. In all likelihood, this is what will be required for Seattle to make...

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Not what you want out of one of the highest paid placekickers in the league. Jason Myers is arguably responsible for the Seattle Seahawks’ only win over the last month, but he’s also had a season that is a microcosm of his career and perhaps the Seahawks’ season as a whole. Myers missed a 42-yard field goal wide right against the Dallas Cowboys and had some close shaves on two of his extra points. While Myers is still perfect on PATs, he’s been erratic with his field goal kicking. The 42-yard miss by Jason Myers dropped him to...

Photo by Jane Gershovich/ This is not something you see very often in any era of the NFL. The Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys shocked the world by actually playing a watchable Thursday Night Football game, with the Seahawks unfortunately on the wrong end of a 41-35 shootout in Texas. Defense was either optional or penalized for most of the night, so we were treated to a big helping of points to offset whatever that Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings nonsense was on Monday. Both teams exceeded 400 yards of total offense, converted on more than 50 percent of their...

Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports The Seattle Seahawks dropped a wild one in Dallas, losing 41-35 to the Cowboys and falling to 6-6 in the process ***As most of you know, Cigar Thoughts is now a podcast. One of the perks of the pod is getting these articles in audio form, in addition to our sit-downs with our amazing guests— like this one with Seattle’s legendary STEVE RAIBLE. You can listen to all the shows, including this article, right here: — I’m gonna shoot straight with you— I’m not even that mad about this one. I mean I am, but I’m not, you know?...

Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports There are no winners on the defensive side of the ball. Would you have rather been blown out like predicted or lose a game like that? The Seattle Seahawks reeled us in with a tremendous offensive performance. It was one of the best of the entire season. Too bad the defense was so stoked watching the offense score points, they let the Dallas Cowboys score even more points. Pete Carroll was 36-0 as Seahawks head coach when his teams scored at least 35 points. Make it 36-1. It was a devastating 41-35 loss that hammers their playoff hopes...

Photo by Michael Owens/ From the makers of “Let’s leave Noah Fant 1-on-1 with Nick Bosa...” With the game on the line, the Seattle Seahawks had 4th and 2 at midfield with a chance to extend the drive and possibly pull off a monumental win over the Dallas Cowboys. Geno Smith never got a chance. Why? Because Micah Parsons, one of the best defensive players in the entire NFL, was left unblocked and there’s functionally zero chance for Geno to get the ball out quickly to anyone in a blue throwback shirt.

Photo by Ron Jenkins/ Game over, man. Game over. Let it sink in for a minute. I was going to put some fun tweets in here celebrating how that was a statistically exciting game for a lot of Seattle Seahawks players. But instead, I am just going to say this: this team is playing horrible football when it matters, and they probably won’t win another game this season. Or maybe I am just emotional after seeing yet another game fizzle out due to an offense that seems to be based more on dice rolls and random chance than actual strategy. So here is a bunch of cathartic rage...

Photo by Matthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire via The Seahawks offense came to play. The defense did not. The Seattle Seahawks (6-6) had a great offensive performance against an elite Dallas Cowboys (9-3) defense. The Seahawks defense completely embarrassed itself and the only time they forced a 0-point possession was on a CeeDee Lamb drop. Geno Smith threw for 3 touchdowns (all to DK Metcalf), ran for another, and it still wasn’t enough, as Dak Prescott matched him with 3 TD passes of his own and the Cowboys rallied for a 41-35 win on Thursday Night Football. This was...

Photo by Matthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire via Metcalf is having a pretty, pretty good game. DK Metcalf is halving a game, and the Seattle Seahawks are loving it. The Dallas Cowboys, meanwhile, are hating it. That makes for a hat trick for DK!

Photo by Christopher Mast/ Jordyn Brooks was seen helmet-less and headed to the locker room, but it may be good news after all Reportedly, he was seen standing on the sideline without his helmet before heading to the locker room shortly thereafter. Fortunately, it sounds like this injury may not be as sever as initial feared, as the Seattle Seahawks team PR account reports he is probably to return with an ankle injury. Michael Shawn-Dugar reports that linebacker Devin Bush is in the game for Jordyn Brooks currently. Devin Bush is in the game. Jordyn Brooks is not.—...
