Man, what a gut punch. Our Seattle Seahawks just couldn’t seal the deal yesterday, falling to the San Francisco 49ers in a brutal 32-29 battle. You could feel that energy draining right out of Lumen Field as the final whistle blew, a truly tough start to the week for the 12s.
That Loss to the Niners Stings
It’s tough, right? Giving up 32 points to those guys is just not what we want to see, especially against a division rival. The offense put up 29, which shows they fought hard, but when you’re battling the Niners, every single play, every single point matters. This is early season, and these are the games that set the tone. Coach Mike Macdonald and OC Brian Fleury have got to be digging deep into the tape after that one. We know what Sam Darnold and our guys like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp are capable of, but something just wasn’t clicking enough to get us over the hump. We expect more, and our team does too.
Meanwhile, Out in Arizona… A Big Trade Went Down
Away from our own heartbreak, there was some wild news shaking up the league that day. The Arizona Cardinals, who picked receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. fourth overall back in 2024 hoping he’d be their go-to guy, just traded him to the Houston Texans on Sunday. Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur was quick to say it was “in the best interest of the club” after they lost to the Detroit Lions. He even tried to downplay the idea that the trade was a “distraction” for his team, telling reporters, “I don’t think it was a distraction at all. It’s not why we didn’t play well today.” Honestly, for us, it’s a reminder that anything can happen in the NFL, even with top picks, but right now, all eyes are on our Hawks.
So yeah, a tough Sunday for the Hawks against the Niners, a real gut check with that 32-29 final. We gotta shake this off fast. Next week is always the biggest game, and we need to come out swinging. Let’s make sure that Lumen Field energy is deafening, because our guys need us more than ever. Go Hawks!
