It’s tough when you outgain a team by 200 yards and still lose the game, but that’s exactly what went down for our Seattle Seahawks in Week 6, falling 17-14 in overtime at Denver. The sting of that loss hurts, no doubt, but Tom Brady, the GOAT himself, has some insights for the 12s that might just change how you’re looking at this early season. Turns out, he isn’t giving up on our Hawks, not by a long shot.
Turnovers Are Killing Us, But Brady Sees the Vision
The frustration is real, and Brady gets it. He pointed out the obvious: we’ve been “turning the ball over like crazy.” Those “catastrophic mistakes” are costing us, and he’s right, you just can’t win in the NFL until you stop beating yourself. Every single one of our three losses this season? By three points or less. That’s a gut punch, right? But here’s where Brady drops a truth bomb that you absolutely need to hear: “Don’t give up on the Seahawks, trust me. Just remember, Sam Darnold is a championship quarterback.”
Think about that for a second. Our QB1, called a “championship quarterback” by the guy who knows a thing or two about winning. Brady specifically referenced Darnold’s playoff performance last year, where he played “great, no turnovers.” That’s the key, isn’t it? If we can protect the football, we have a chance to win every single week. Brady’s advice is clear: “make sure you’re eyeing those throws, make sure you’re accurate, and you’re missing in the right places.” And when you’ve got a weapon like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Brady says, “just get it out there to him. Look for him at the end of the day.” Turnovers truly lose games more than any other stat, and if Darnold can tap into that playoff form and eliminate those mistakes, our offense can absolutely cook.
The GOAT’s NFL Power Rankings Get Real
Brady isn’t just focused on Seattle, though; he’s grappling with the entire league. Three undefeated teams at the top make his top three easy, but after that? It’s a mess. He admitted that figuring out how to order the 4-2 teams is “harder than it looks.” There are 10 two-loss teams after Week 6, which just shows how wild the league is right now. In fact, Brady even ranked a 4-2 team ahead of a 5-1 squad this week.
He dove into teams like the Green Bay Packers, who secured a 23-13 win against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6. They’ve found their groove with a three-game winning streak. Jordan Love is making plays, for sure, but Brady thinks the defense has been the real storyline during this hot streak. They’re rushing the quarterback and “getting the job done,” and they’re set to get a fresh Michael Parsons later this year. Brady’s actually headed to Green Bay’s huge NFC North matchup against the Lions this Sunday, keen to see Love and Matthew Golden “stay hot and push the ball down the field.” He loves their deep-play ability with Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, calling them a “deep-play team with a lot of speed on the perimeter.” The big question for him is if Detroit’s safeties can prevent those plays, especially with Brian Branch potentially returning to boost that secondary.
So, while the NFL is a jumbled mess of talent and close games, Brady’s still got his eye on our Hawks. The message is clear: trust Darnold, cut the turnovers, and let our playmakers do their thing.
This Sunday, our Seahawks are back home at Lumen Field, taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a massive game, and if we can just protect the football, those close losses will start turning into big wins. Let’s show up loud and prove Brady right about our squad!
