Schedule

Rams on Christmas & six prime-time games

4 Comments

The 2026 Seahawks will be a poster child for how wacky the NFL schedule has become. With the league scattering games across almost every day of the week, thanks to a record number of international games and trying to fill up every holiday on the calendar, the Hawks will play on every day but Tuesday (which has no games scheduled).

It starts with the opener Wednesday, Sept. 9, against the Patriots — just the second NFL opener featuring the Super Bowl combatants from the previous season (Carolina and Denver kicked off the 2016 season after the Broncos won Super Bowl 50).

The Hawks also will play a Friday night game on Christmas – one of six prime-time games for them. That Week 16 game will come against the Rams, as the NFL anticipates yet another thriller like the three played by the division rivals in 2025. The teams then play again in Week 18, a potential winner-take-the-bye game just ahead of the playoffs.

Blowout wins send Hawks, Rams into huge Week 11 clash

Leave a comment

The Seahawks and Rams are clearly the class of the NFC West and among the very best in the NFL as well, as they both proved by eclipsing 40 points in blowout wins against division opponents Sunday.

They have been on a collision course for division dominance for weeks now – and that head-on clash is coming in Week 11 as the pair of 7-2 teams finally square off.

Hawks should take lessons on how 49ers and Rams keep getting to the Super Bowl

1 Comment

“We feel this is the toughest division in football.” – John Schneider on the NFC West.

The NFC West has been the best division in football for several years now, so it is no big surprise that the NFC championship featured two teams from Seattle’s division.

The 49ers and Rams both have lost in the Super Bowl in the past three years, and now – after a pair of walk-off road wins last weekend — one of them (the Rams) is returning to the league’s championship game. It will be the NFC West’s sixth Super Bowl appearance in the last 10 seasons – another tribute to the best division in the NFL.

Week 5: L.A. Rams

Rams week is why Waldron is here

“We have a lot of respect for what they do, obviously, so much that we brought it here.” – Pete Carroll, on the Rams and Seattle’s own ex-Ram, Shane Waldron.

Shane Waldron had an inconsistent first month as Seattle’s OC and clearly has not yet found his rhythm as a playcaller – the offense has failed to play a complete game as the Hawks have started a disappointing 2-2.

But, like it or not, his warmup is over and it’s show time. His former team is in town for a nationally aired Thursday night game, and it’s time to show exactly why Carroll and Russell Wilson brought Waldron to Seattle. He’s here to beat the Rams, first and foremost.

Waldron’s task: Help Wilson sustain great play into postseason

Leave a comment

If you can’t beat ’em, have ’em join you.

That’s apparently what the Seahawks were thinking when they reportedly decided to hire Shane Waldron to fix an offense that diminished by 11 points per game in the second half of the 2020 season (from 34 to 23) and flamed out against Waldron’s Rams in the playoffs.

Waldron’s task will be simple (OK, simply defined anyway): Get Russell Wilson to sustain his excellent play into December and January, get the offense to play well against good defenses in the postseason and get back over the hump and into the Super Bowl.
