The final score hit us like a cold November rain, folks. Our Seattle Seahawks got smacked by the Chicago Bears, 34-17. Yeah, you read that right. Thirty-four points given up. That kind of result stings, deep.
Where Do We Go From Here, Hawks?
It’s tough to swallow, seeing our team fall 34-17 to the Bears. Every 12th man and woman in the Emerald City has got to be wondering what happened out there. A loss like that leaves you with more questions than answers about where this season is really headed. We need to see more, demand more. The performance simply wasn’t what we expect, what we *deserve*, from our Hawks.
Meanwhile, Other Teams Are Making Moves (Or Thinking About It Big Time)
While we are shaking off that tough loss, the rest of the league isn’t standing still. Take the Denver Broncos, for example. It sounds like they’re seriously considering burning through draft picks to grab a play-making running back mid-season. The sentiment from a writer close to the team is that they might give up a second, third, and fifth-round pick for a guy like Jonathan Taylor, or perhaps slightly less for Breece Hall. Tony Pollard is even in the picture for them. That writer is all in on the idea, saying their team is trending up and has deep playoff run potential, and they need to shove those chips in the middle. They believe shoring up their running back room with veteran talent makes way too much sense, especially to prevent asking Bo Nix to throw 40+ passes a game if Jonah Coleman gets hurt. It’s a bold strategy, valuing an immediate impact veteran over future draft capital, but it’s happening around the league. This kind of aggressive mid-season move makes you wonder. Do we see our team make those kinds of plays if we feel a deep run is possible? It’s clear that for some teams, the value of veteran talent right now outweighs the gamble of future draft picks.
Other NFL Talk Heating Up
Beyond the Broncos’ running back hunt, there’s been plenty of other NFL chatter. The Baltimore Ravens are throwing an undrafted rookie QB, Joe Fagnano, into the fire against the Jaguars on Thursday. Jeffery Simmons, now with the Bears, made a “profound” impact in his first game, which, honestly, adds insult to our injury knowing what the Bears did to us. Raiders’ coach Klint Kubiak is calling the workload between RBs Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr. a “moving target.” Former NFL QB Russell Wilson even interviewed with NC State for a head coaching job. On the release front, the Bills cut C.J. Gardner-Johnson after a spitting suspension, and the Saints released veteran kicker Daniel Carlson after he had the second-worst field goal percentage in the league. There are even whispers around the 2027 NFL Trade Deadline about big names like Justin Herbert. And Jerry Jones’s comments about coach pay? Apparently, they have no basis in reality. It’s a wild league out there.
So, yeah, it was a rough one against the Bears. A 34-17 loss is not what we signed up for, especially when other teams are either making big moves or watching their rookies shine. We need to see our Hawks regroup, tighten things up, and show us that spark we know they have. Let’s get it right for the next one. We’re still here, still cheering, but we need to see some real fight, some real *Hawks* football.
