Our Seahawks are stuck in a tough spot, dropping back-to-back games for the first time since December 2024 and landing at a frustrating 3-3 record. We’ve seen our share of ups and downs, but this one stings, especially when you consider how close those losses were.
Our Hawks Are Hurting, But the Defense Is Ballin’
Look, it’s rough out here. We just dropped extremely winnable games to the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos, losing by a combined six points. Our defense has been putting on phenomenal performances, making plays and keeping us in games. But the offense? Man, they’ve been playing hot potato with the football. It’s frustrating because our defense deserved better in those matchups. We’ve matched last year’s total loss count in just six games, and that hurts deep, 12s. We expected more, but early season form can be wild.
The Rams’ Disaster Is Our Emerald City Comfort
But here’s the wild part, the one thing that gives us a sliver of comfort right now: the Los Angeles Rams are having it much, much worse. They’re sitting at 2-4, only one game behind us, but that 3-3 feels a whole universe better than their situation. How bad is it? They lost at home to the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, the Cardinals! Arizona actually has two wins at SoFi Stadium this year, which is one more than the Rams themselves have! You can’t make this stuff up. And in a cruel twist of fate, it was exclusively the Cardinals’ special teams that won that game, kicking six field goals for an 18-16 victory. The Rams’ special teams have been straight-up atrocious for the past two years. To top it off, Los Angeles quarterback Matt Stafford completely froze on a bizarre two-point conversion attempt, got hit, and guess who recovered the ball? Former Seahawks first-round pick LJ Collier. The universe has a strange sense of humor sometimes.
So yeah, we’re well behind the 49ers in the NFC West standings thanks to our own recent missteps. But we’ve been ridiculously fortunate that the Rams keep choking on the same weeks we do, meaning LA isn’t gaining any ground. Still, that luck isn’t going to last forever. Our Seahawks absolutely have to figure out how to get off this skid. If we don’t, the little advantage we’re getting from the Rams’ epic collapses is going to vanish faster than a free beer at Lumen Field. We need to get this thing turned around, and fast. Go Hawks!
