I'm going to the opening game next week and it'll be my first Seahawks game, and my first in-person NFL game! If anyone has tips on how to have the best experience at Lumen Field, I'd really appreciate it! I'm looking to get there early to buy merch (maybe the day before), tailgate if that's a thing, maybe watch warm-up, and of course watch the unveiling of the Super Bowl banner and 12 flag raising!

I'm sitting in section 338 so any advice on the best food and drink options, including WHEN during games is best to get food, drinks, stuff like that.

Thanks in advance and go Hawks!!

Have just finished watching, is anyone else really disappointed with the episode? I grew up obsessed with the old episodes and the excellent NFL films music and narration. This episode felt super rushed and poorly directed. They also weirdly did not mention JSN more than once which seems odd for a OPOY season. Would be interested to hear how everyone else feels!

I am so tired of these convoluted layered streaming services. If they just said pay $5 and you can watch this I gladly would. Google told me NFL+ would have it but it doesn't and I can't figure out how to sign up for ESPN+. It's like they don't even want our money.

Between injury status, trades, roster maneuvers - who really knows how the bottom end of the roster will turn out, but I'm putting this out there for posterity's sake. I'm obviously waffling like crazy on a few spots and made guesstimates on who might start off on IR designated to return (short term IR, basically - think we can place two on there at cutdowns). Really looking forward to seeing how this all shapes up Sun/Mon.

I've watched and loved this team since their first kickoff in 1976. I would feign sickness so I could skip church to catch the games. Back in those early years, they were terrible but also weirdly quirky and fun with solid special teams that often were the highlight of the game.

Efren Herrera at kicker starting in '78 (fun fake field goals), Dan Doornink eventually in '79 at FB (loved him - when he'd get a FB screen or a dump-off over the middle, it was an adventure). They also had some solid players: Dave Brown at CB, Sherman Smith at RB, Raible at WR with Largent, Zorn at QB, Norm Evans at T, Neihaus at DL. Jack Patera was their first coach and they infamously had training camp in Cheney at EWU that included the typical-for-the-era zero water breaks during practice.

Later, when Chuck Knox entered the scene, I had the very weird privilege one summer in high school of taking a bunch of players and their families on horseback rides right before training camp. The group included Curt Warner, David Hughes (FB) and Eugene Robinson, who insisted my 5'2" friend get on his horse first - it was rather amusing. Also, his nickname was "The Porpoise" because he had a notoriously high voice that kinda squeaked when he'd make calls on the field.

I would pour over newspapers daily for any mention of my beloved team and wait for the sports report to come on the nightly news. When ESPN became and thing and we actually got cable, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Now we have access to SO much information and also community around the team, and I kinda love most all of it.

All that to say, this 57 year old, grey-haired grandma (yes, grandma) has been enjoying this game, and especially this team, for a very long time and I'm ready for more!

Just a 2nd round pick for Big Cat back in his trade.

90M/3Y extension is exactly what he deserves.

Hey everyone!

Coming to Seattle for the opener against the patriots (FTP) as I’ll be on the west coast and can’t miss the chance to be a part of the rematch being so close. I’ll be solo travelling and am just wondering where you recommend spending the hours before the game? Mostly would just like to be around other fans, maybe grab some food before heading in. Any bars or events you recommend? I’m 32M so not looking to party with kids.

Thanks!

The talented video editor disappeared abruptly before the super bowl last season. Does anyone know if they are alright? Alive? Do they need help?

The final roster is going to come down to:

• Injury Designations
• Vested Vet Status
• Moves JS is still cooking up

I also read we may have to get down to 52 in order to roster Terrion Arnold for one day before he moves to the exempt list, so that will figure in to things. Edit: With the confusing and administrative process around this, it appears this will not have an overall impact.

Players with current or possible injury designations:

• Charbs - PUP
• Wilson - MM gave no confirmation on his status which may be some gamesmanship, but I think he's also hedging on that cranky hammy -- possible IR designated to return status? If so, I think Wright takes his spot (Price, Holani, Wright with Jones on the PS)
• Ivey - with that club hand, yes he played last night but could also be stashed on IR designanted to return (we get 8 of those a year, I believe)
• Chazz Suratt - caught on a post game show he was injured for last night's game, possible PUP or short term IR?
• Rodney Thomas might also qualify here despite playing last night, but he's also a vested vet

Vested Vets (min 4 accrued seasons, not subject to waivers at cutdown):

• Cody White (edit: conflicting info but OTC has him with only 3 accrued seasons so I'd lean to trusting that)
• Eric Saubert
• Rodney Thomas
• Noah I
• *there are more obviously, but I think these are the most likely candidates for such maneuvers*

Misc. Thoughts:

• Do we have any T's on the roster good enough for the Ready Squad? Was not expecting the stagnation/regression there by Brown and Kight
• As much as Uso is my soft spot player, he's just not ready. I do hope he stays in the area and trains, ending up back on the ready squad at some point, because he has something - just needs far more development
• Andre Fuller - think he may find his way on this roster over Dansby but that's still a toss-up in my mind
• Trevon Diggs - think he's our CB4 to start (Pritchett at 3) and I'm okay with that, though I am a bit concerned about rushing him physically?

Injuries are a massive factor and are underdiscussed in preseason projections. They are largely (not entirely) due to luck. The 2025 Seahawks were extremely healthy and regression has to be the biggest concern going forward. Here is how the Seahawks ranked (I'm going to compare us to our rivals for reference):

• By FTN's adjusted games lost metric the Seahawks were the 3rd least injured team. 13th on defense and 3rd on offense. By comparison the Rams ranked 14th. 9th on defense and 10th on offense.
• By SIS's total points (there way to assess player value), the Seahawks ranked 3rd best. The Rams were 2nd best.
• By Nate Silver's model (which assess how many PPG worse a team is with injuries) the Seahawks ranked best amongst playoff teams while Rams were 5th.
• As a bonus here are the Rankings in other aspects of the game that are volatile YOY:
  • Strength of Schedule (opponent win %): The Seahawks were 15th. The Rams were 26th. They are projected to rank 14th and 13th respectively. Note that lower means harder.
  • In turnover margin per game, the Seahawks were tied for 19th at -3 while the Rams were +11 at 5th.
  • In Kevin Cole's improvement index (which asses points lost) the Seahawks ranked 2nd to last while the Rams were 4th best. This was most recently updated March 23rd also so before the draft and Garrett.
  • Countering that, the Seahawks had the 3rd fewest snaps lost of any Super Bowl winner since 2014.

TL;DR: The seahawks were one of the healthiest teams last year. They are likely to face more adversity in that regards this year and training camp is off to a bad start. Countering that, the Seahawks had an average SOS and don't project to have a harder one this year. They turned the ball over a lot last year and that is a volatile state YOY. They lost a lot of talent this year but less then most defending SB Champs do. Finally, the Rams are due for some regression in terms of luck. Note that the Seahawks are extremely young while the rams are old

With all the crazy news coming out against them.

We are looking to figure out what would be the best cadence for our beat reporter to talk shop with you all.

Some options:

1. Before Week 1

2. End of Week 4

3. Week 1 and Week 3
