SANTA CLARA, Calif. – There is some nuance to that late-game fracas, which will be touched on later in this space. But the optics symbolized something all too real in the Seahawks’ camp.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The Seahawks can at least thank a soft middle section of the NFC – as well as the expanded playoff format – for their season not feeling even more precarious than it does after Sunday’s 28-16 loss to the 49ers.

We have reached the point where it must be asked: What can be salvaged?

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — No Geno Smith led many to think that the Seattle Seahawks had no hope here Sunday.

RENTON, Wash. – If it’s San Francisco week, Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith must be questionable with an injury.

RENTON, Wash. – Seahawks safety Jamal Adams has attracted a lot of attention in recent days for his social-media presence, and his no-apologies response to some of the reaction it generated.

The Seattle Seahawks’ mini-bye is over.

The Seahawks' somewhat encouraging loss at Dallas on Thursday triggered memories of that turning point Pete Carroll reached 12 years ago, a numerical coincidence modern “12s” will appreciate. The decisive and purposeful Pete Carroll who saved that season – and his NFL career – is the Pete Carroll the Seahawks need to finish this season on an upward trend.

ARLINGTON, Texas – Just when the Seahawks offense regained its identity, the defense is again left searching for one.

SEATTLE – The Seattle Seahawks made some off-field NFL history Thursday when it was announced that their game against the Eagles set for Dec. 17 has been moved to the following day, Dec. 18.

SEATTLE – In Pete Carroll-era Seahawks lore, a trip to Dallas midway through the 2011 season has always been regarded as a turning point. Seattle didn’t win that day. In fact, the Seahawks’ 23-13 defeat dropped them to 2-6 at the midway point of Carroll’s second season, eliciting all sorts of grumbling about where things were headed.

RENTON, Wash. – Over their past four games, when not playing a team that recently fired its defensive coordinator, the Seahawks have scored one offensive touchdown.

RENTON, Wash. – It looked maybe like a benching when the Seahawks replaced right cornerback Riq Woolen after the first three defensive series of Thursday night’s 31-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

SEATTLE – If that surprised you, perhaps Harlem Globetrotter victories do, too.

SEATTLE – The Seahawks couldn’t have made much worse of an opening statement as they began a four-game stretch of games that figures to define their 2023 season Thursday night in the first Thanksgiving home game in franchise history.

SEATTLE – Looking back to when the NFL schedule came out, this was the stretch of games that was destined to elevate the 2023 Seattle Seahawks – or doom them.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The 49ers let the early birds catch the worm this week while they concentrate on grounding the Seahawks.

RENTON, Wash. – Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is officially listed as questionable for Thursday night’s NFC West showdown with the San Francisco 49ers.

The Los Angeles Rams, who for the past season and a half have been the antithesis of the team that raised the Lombardi Trophy two Februarys ago, also may end up as the most infuriating reason the Seahawks miss the playoffs.
