Our weekly list of three things we learned starts with the quarterback I don't think could have done anything better in Sunday's game.
Geno Smith, Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield showed the value that can be found in picking up a car that other teams have deemed a lemon.
Before we get to the renaissance of Russell Wilson, we've got to conduct a little bit of crowd control first in Seattle and then New York.
Yes, Geno Smith is the biggest question facing the Seahawks, but there's (at least) seven regular-season games before there needs to be any decision.
When another NFL team works as hard as the Jets did to give one away, you don't need to apologize nor are you required to express gratitude. Just smile and move on to the next one.
I've always remembered the first time my stepfather visited my family's home. The meaning I've drawn from that memory, however, has changed dramatically over the years.
Before we get to Russell Wilson being benched in New York, I've got a confession to make about my actions during last night's Mariners game.
Special teams was exactly that, the penalty parade has been halted and the single biggest strength of this defense can be found in the middle of the D-line.
A $15 spell saved the Mariners' season, which is great. College football's "Great Reshuffling" ruined the Apple Cup, which is not great.
Turns out Seattle remains totally capable of playing utterly insane, absolutely non-sensical games. How exactly did all that happen?
The Seahawks secondary is deeper than we thought and Seattle's top receiver is playing as well as anyone could have hoped.
Russell Wilson is leading the NFL in passing yards while Geno Smith has been intercepted more often than anyone.
Russell Wilson wasn't blamed for the egg the Giants laid in their season-opener, but that's part of the problem: No one is expecting anything from him here.
Original insights into the Seattle Seahawks.
Upon further review, the Seattle Seahawks should have gone for it on fourth-and-1 instead of settling for a field goal.
You think 10 losses in the last 12 road games is gonna' break my spirit? My constitution has been steeled through decades of futility.
To be 'The Man' you gotta' beat 'The Man' and over the past three days in Houston, the Mariners clobbered the team that has won the division seven of the past eight seasons.
If you're going to say sorry, you should have the decency to say what you're apologizing for.
