Seahawks Forever w/ Dan Viens

The Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals today 21-20 to secure a winning season at 9-8, and yet much of the fan base is losing their MINDS tonight. Why? Because the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears to earn the final wild card playoff spot in the NFC, eliminating the Seahawks in the process. Once again the Seahawks defense was atrocious, and it almost led to a loss to the 4-win Cardi...

Once again the Seahawks find themselves needing a win and a Green Bay loss on the final weekend of the season to sneak into the playoffs, and once again it's due to a bad defensive performance in their latest loss, 30-23 to the Steelers. Since then, Pete Carroll has said he knows how to fix the defensive issues they're having, and will have them ready to play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardin...

For the second week in a row, the Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback led them on a long, last-minute touchdown drive to pull out an important win.... only this time it was Geno Smith instead of Drew Lock. Facing the Tennessee Titans in his first game back after missing two games due to injury, Smith shook off some first-half rust in leading the Seahawks to yet another come-from-behind win. And...

SIX?! **Trying to identify the "next Brock Purdy".... a day 3 prospect who could turn o...

In what was an ugly game that didn't seem to be going the Seahawks way for most of the night, Seattle pulled out a stunning upset on Monday Night Football, snapping a 4-game losing streak with their 20-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. With Drew Lock once again starting for an injured Geno Smith, the Eagles seemed to control the game for most of the night, even with an under-the-weather Jalen H...

With speculation mounting that Pete Carroll may not be back at the helm in 2024, former Seahawk legend KJ Wright revealed some uneasy truths about what he feels is a lack of leadership in Seattle's locker room, specifically at a KEY position! ICYMI, I'll replay those comments and react to them. Can this all be fixed in time to beat a struggling Eagles team on MNF and salvage their season? Is Pete...

This latest loss to the 49ers, a 28-16 drubbing that was worse than the score indicated and dropped the Seahawks to 6-7 on the season.... may be the most indicative example or why changes may be needed at the top in Seattle. Has the league passed Pete by? His answers on his weekly post-game coaches show may be clues that his frustration is mounting, and his answers are few. Tune in to see my react...

With 5 games left in the regular season the Seahawks are now on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, with two more games against the NFC’s best teams preceding a (presumably) more forgiving finishing stretch. As we come down the stretch, jobs may be on the line both on the field and in the coaching booth. In this episode I assess who I think has the most to prove (and potentially lose) o...

How are you feeling about your 6-6 Seattle Seahawks after Thursday's 41-35 loss to the Dallas Cowboys? Still a playoff contender? Are they a team on the rise or just treading water? Do they have enough stars to compete with the elite teams in the NFL? How far away are they from being a Super Bowl contender? Today I put on my best objectivity face and try to point out 3 hard-to-accept realities tha...

The Seattle Seahawks may have played their best game of the season Thursday night in Dallas, and it still wasn't enough to beat the red-hot Cowboys as they drop to 6-6 on the season after the 41-35 loss. There were some positives to build on from this one, but they were marred from a couple unfortunate coaching decisions late in the 4th quarter. Can this young team build off of tonight's performan...

One often-repeated definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting similar results. Is that what we're seeing with the Seahawks right now? I believe the results of last night's 31-13 loss to the 49ers indicate that changes are needed in Seattle..... big changes. Which ones am I talking about? Can they be done now, or will they have to wait until the offseason? Most...

Yet again, the Seattle Seahawks led the LA Rams 13-7 at the half, just as they did in week 1. And yet again, they come away empty-handed. Sean McVay is now 15-5 vs. Pete Carroll after the Rams 17-16 Week 11 victory, dropping Seattle to 6-4 and out of a first place tie for the lead in the NFC West. As they get set to face off with the division-leading 49ers, followed by equally daunting matchups wi...

How far have the Seahawks come since their 30-13 Week 1 loss to the LA Rams? Can the additions of Devon Witherspoon, Jamal Adams and Leonard Williams make a difference as Seattle gets set for this one? How healthy is Matthew Stafford?

Jeff Simmons, Seahawks analyst and co-host of Real Hawk Talk joins me for this one to offer up his thoughts on where this Seattle team is at the midway point.

The Seahawks win a thrilling home contest as they get 5 Jason Myers field goals, including the buzzer-beater, to beat the Washington Commanders 29-26 at Lumen Field in Seattle on Sunday. The offense rolled up nearly 500 yards including 369 in the air from Geno Smith and yet.... there were fans who wanted him benched at halftime. In my LIVE reaction show I'll address Geno's performance, and that of...

In this exclusive AUDIO-ONLY episode, I'll take a look at the Washington Commanders as they get set to visit the Seahawks in a Week 10 NFL Matchup at Lumen Field in Seattle. Who is this team, how do they match up with the Seahawks, and should 12's be concerned about their explosive offense? In some way, these two teams are extremely evenly matched. Could it be a tougher matchup than fans want to b...

Geno Smith vs. Drew Lock.... it's what some of you want to talk about this week, and has even been a big topic on local sports radio. Is it warranted? Today on the show I'll take a look behind the numbers. Who is Geno Smith, historically, and who is Drew Lock? How do they compare? Do their combined college and NFL stats indicate certain skills that may help make sense of the difference between the...

Is the sky falling in the Pacific Northwest? Some fans seems to think so after the Seattle Seahawks brutal 37-3 loss at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Where does this team stand after that loss. Are they the first-place, 5-3 team their record would suggest? Or.... does this young roster have a LOT farther to go before they can be considered a legitimate playoff contender? Today I pos...

At least that's what some of the analytics suggest. Today I'll take a look at some of those numbers, and try to dissect just how the Ravens defense has been stopping teams, and how the Seahawks may be able to crack that...

The Seattle Seahawks are reuniting with an old friend, bringing back 2015 2nd round draft pick Frank Clark on a one year deal. The 30-year-old DE/OLB is expected to help fill the void left by the season-ending injury to Uchenna Nwosu. Clark played in just 2 games with the Denver Broncos this season before being released after things didn't work out, but prior to that he racked up 58.5 career sacks...
