Can Seahawks Repeat?

avatar Booblover123 2026-09-07 03:21

Season starts on Wed, most of the team is back from last year. Running game might might be a bit weaker but passing game looks solid, defense should be dominant again. The big obstacle will be the Rams with getting Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald back and new cornerbacks. It will be interesting to see Soundgarden play at halftime.

Can they? Yes, they have the talent and the new ownership might be willing to make a splash. Will they? On paper, the Rams are a juggernaut. Let's see what injuries and fate have in store for them. LA teams don't seem to care about salary caps, they assemble all-star teams and leave everyone in the dust. The Rams could be the Dodgers, or they could flame out. Seahawks fans need to hope they act like the Chiefs last year, amazing on paper, crap on the field. There's a handful of other contenders as well, a repeat will be a tough get, but I do love to see a free spending bully get stomped.

The Hawks have the edge in GMgr, Coaching, and arguably D too based on Superbowl performance. Darnold needs to be solid and not sackbait. .

The Hawks D stole one there. Rams were supposed to be great. Not yet. Purdy looked good for the 9-ers.

Thought D was pretty rusty and still dominated.

Rust for sure on the D considering most did not play a snap in preseason. When Okada and Emmanwori return, things should tighten even more on the dark side.

Rams looked terrible, only 1 game but quite surprising. Garrett still hurt but not one tackle in 46 snaps, Trent Williams schooled him looks like that trade might be a bust.Niners looked impressive the defense is healthy and they have a lot of big name players but im still not a fan of Purdy he gets rattled easy with pressure,he had a clean pocket pretty much the whole game.Hopefully Drew Lock can Hold the Fort while Darnold is out.

Lol, that's a bit of a stretch to call the trade a bust Anyone wud be fuked up travelling 17-18hrs thru time zones and then playing a football game within 24hrs The blame is all on mcvay for takin the team over 2 days before game Niners had a week to adjust their body and schedules

avatar Booblover123 2026-09-11 20:20

Yes too early to call the Myles Garrett trade a bust but the Rams gave up a lot to get him,Jared Verse who is was Defensive rookie of the year is 25 and they gave up a 1st 2nd and 3rd round draft pick.Garrett will be 31 this year so we will see how this trade ages out.Cant blame all the game on McVay he has done that 3 times before in international games and was 3 and 0 doing it.

The Hawks defense put on a clinic against the previously undefeated Chiefs .Got the Bears on Monday night football next should be a good game.

The O-line and QB were much better too. I suspect they got some pretty straight-talk coaching after their previous effort. Looked much much better and were worthy of being on the same team as the best D in the game.

Vikings best right now Hawks need to get some help for JSN, Rasheed was a swing and a miss and better hope charbonnet injects some life into their run game

I think the Hawks thought Tory Horton would be that guy. He hasn't developed into that guy yet. I also don't think Shaheed was thought to be WR #2. His skills are more oriented toward kick returns, jet sweeps and the odd post pattern. They either need Horton to develop now or trade for help on the outside. Kupp is still good but a possession guy on slot routes. Will be curois to see how Charbonnet performs coming off that brutal knee injury.

True, but they paid him like a wr2 The Nelson trade today was a nice get though.... They got quite a few compensatory picks from their FAs leaving, need to utilize those and try to g et some help now, should try hard to get Taylor for the Colts Thomas Jr would be a nice buy low candidate too, Jags seem to have given up on him, he'd be a nice red zone target for Darnold too
