Sea Hawkers Podcast: The Official Podcast Of The Official Booster Club Of The Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks dominated the consensus #2 team in the NFC at home in front of a national audience on Monday Night Football with outstanding play from Russell Wilson on offense and K.J. Wright on defense. Adam and Brandan take a look at many of the top plays that stood out in the 34-7 win. The guys preview the upcoming game against the 49ers as the Seahawks have the opportunity to clinch the NFC West and a first-round bye in the playoffs. How will this game be different compared to the 13-6 loss on the road in Week 7 last season? Brian Nemhauser of hawkblogger.com joins the program to talk about his analysis of the team after 12 games and their vast improvement from Week 8 to Week 12. He also offers his perspective from San Francisco about the recent release to 49ers ticket holders explaining to them the intricacies of being a fan: like the type of colors to wear on game day and when it's appropriate to make the most noise at the stadium. In the "Do Better" segment, the guys both take shots at different articles

For a bye week, there was a lot of attention on the Seahawks for the wrong reasons. With the biggest game of the year next up on the schedule, the news was magnified around a four-game suspension for Walter Thurmond and a potential year-long suspension of Brandon Browner. Adam and Brandan talk about what the suspensions mean for the team moving forward. The Saints may have the second best record in the NFC, but the guys are both extremely confident that this game will work out in favor of the Seahawks. Between home field advantage and the noise generated by the second attempt at the Guinness record, and simply how well this team matches up against New Orleans, Seattle should take another step toward securing home field advantage. Adam and Brandan hand out the "coveted" bye-week awards. They disagree on who should win the award on offense and special teams and come to agreement on the defensive side of the ball. They also hand out awards for best offseason acquisition and rookie of the season so far. They fini

The Seahawks may be on a bye, but Adam and Brandan have things to talk about including the appearance of Percy Harvin and the return of the starters on the offensive line. In addition to recapping performances by the offense, defense and special teams against the Vikings, the guys discuss other teams in the NFC that may have the opportunity to challenge Seattle. Are any of the other teams in the NFC a match for this Seahawks team? Responding to an email, the guys attempt to decide which two players it would take if Russell Wilson were somehow forced into being traded away from the team. Folks that need to do better this week: an anonymous college scout who implies that Johnny Manziel is a lock to be better than Russell Wilson, and NFL referees have no consistency when it comes to determining if a ball is uncatchable. Paul Allen makes an appearance on the list of those who are better at life than a certain employee at a top sports network along with Harvin for exceeding expectations even with limited playing t

The Seahawks played their most complete game of the season in their dominant 33-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Not only that, but they did it on the road to go to 5-1 on the season away from CenturyLink. And it was a 10am PT start. The idea that Seattle isn't a good road team can officially be put to bed if it hasn't already. At 9-1 overall, Seattle is in a very different position than this time last year when they earned a 30-20 victory over the Vikings to go to 5-3. Now they're in position to earn home field advantage throughout the playoffs and the Vikings are going to have to fight to not finish last in their division. Master Sgt. Traci Williams, president of the Military Sea Hawkers and board member for Operation Ward 57, is on the show this week to talk about Sunday's Military Appreciation Day activities and the Seahawks matchup against the Vikings. There will be a Medal of Honor recipient raising the 12th Man flag, another MOH recipient leading the team out of the tunnel and plenty of other activ

A lot of Seahawks coverage and much more crammed in to one show this week. Adam and Brandan talk about the Buccaneers and how even up 21-0 it never felt as though the Seahawks were ever getting dominated in this week's game. It all led up to an historic comeback for Seattle topped off by another game winner by Steven Hauschka. The Seahawks get the 27-24 overtime win. There's plenty of fawning over Russell Wilson this week, including a stiff arm perhaps only rivaled in recent memory by Marshawn Lynch in his Beast Quake run. Despite an electric punt return by Golden Tate, Adam still isn't keen on the idea of returning punts that are coming down inside the 10-yard line. With the way Matt Ryan and the Falcons are playing this year, there's nothing scary about this Atlanta team. But with the way Seattle has played after Adam's stone cold lock predictions, it's not worth risking it this week with a similar call. Despite the injuries to the Falcons, Harry Douglas and Tony Gonzalez have the ability to inflict damage

Do comments about the Seahawks from the national media have you down after a 14-9 win over the Rams? Adam and Brandan remind Seattle fans that this team is 7-1 for the first time in franchise history. Not only that, this team is 4-1 on the road. The guys discuss where some of the struggles were in the game, and focus on the defense as one of the biggest reasons why this team was able to pull out the win despite only 135 yards total on offense. Dayna O'Gorman, Seahawks fan reporter for nflfemale.com and co-host of the Wednesday Night With nflfemale podcast, joins the show to talk about the return of Michael Robinson and his presence on the sideline, her thoughts on Earl Thomas and how the defense played, as well as the struggles of the offensive line. In their "Do Better" segment, they talk about Golden Tate and his 25-yard taunt on an 80-yard catch and how the offensive line must do better to keep Russell Wilson alive. A pair of Detroit Lions are recognized for being Better at Life than Skip Bayless and a mom

Episode TWELVE is dedicated to the 12th Man. Not only do we get to discuss one of the Seahawks most impressive victories this season against the Cardinals, we bring on a former member of the Seattle Seahawks. Adam and Brandan also talk about the upcoming road game against the Rams. Adam says that a "and hurricane" can't even save the Rams from a loss this week. Joe Tafoya, a 7-year veteran of the NFL and defensive end for the Seahawks from 2005-2006, joins the Sea Hawkers Podcast to talk about Volume 12. As co-owner of Volume 12, he led the effort behind the record breaking attempt for the loudest crowd roar against the San Francisco 49ers. One thing is clear, Tafoya is not impressed with the way the Kansas City Chiefs broke the Seahawks noise record. Instead of having the crowd roar be an organic part of the game, he says that Chiefs fans were directed to assemble what fans were remaining in the stadium and let out one big cheer in one final attempt to break Seattle's mark. In the final segment of the show,

It's a short week and the Seahawks matchup with the Arizona Cardinals is right around the corner. Although the stats show the Seahawks dominate this game, Adam and Brandan talk about some of the reasons why the score of the game was so close. They also discuss three of the hilarious moments (one in hindsight) from the game. The Cardinals have historically been a tough matchup in Arizona, and the Seahawks will look to break that streak. The Seahawks strength on the defensive front matches up very well against the Cardinals struggling offensive line. Author Mark Tye Turner visits the podcast, Mark wrote the book, Notes from a 12th Man: A Truly Biased History of the Seattle Seahawks. He's also a regular Seahawks contributor for the Seattle Times. The final segment of the show includes a call for a small group of Seahawks/Huskies fans to cut Walter Thurmond some slack and Scott Zolak goes anti-Gus Johnson. Kansas City Chiefs fans and Adrian Peterson cap off the show earning recognition as "Better at life than Ski

If you're feeling down about the Seahawks 34-28 loss to the Colts, this is the episode to download to help get you cheered up and ready for the matchup against the Tennessee Titans. What kind of chance do the Titans have? Adam has the answer. There were several plays, players, coaches, and refs to hang this loss on, so Adam and Brandan point the finger at just about all of them, followed up with our tips on how to cope with any Seahawks loss. Johnnie Peel, the blogger behind davekreigsstrikebeard.blogspot.com, comes on the show to compare Russell Wilson to quarterbacks of yesteryear and talk about why your confidence should not be shaken in this team's Super Bowl XLVIII destiny. Former NFL safety John Lynch and Tony Romo are the target of this week's "Do Better" segment. Adam and Brandan talk about why Denver isn't the lock everyone seems to think they are to make it to the Super Bowl. The final segment gets a little crazy when an unknown "patriot" who made an appearance at the President's Cup is honored alon

The Seattle Seahawks are 4-0 for the first time in franchise history. Brandan and Adam break down where the game turned around for the Seahawks, pinpoint the time when fans may have thought the team wouldn't come back, and how J.J. Watt looked like he belonged in the next installment of Scream. In the Colts preview, Adam feels like he has to pick at least one game for the Seahawks to lose this season and this week is the one. Feel free to leave him some nasty comments on The Sea Hawkers Podcast Facebook page. Jenny Goos, of OnHerGame.com, drops in at the 52:30 mark to talk about the win and her letter to the 49ers fans who complained about the crowd noise at CenturyLink. She also passes on some words of wisdom on how guys can help get their wives and girlfriends more interested in the games. Don't bother with the rules, tell her stories about the players and why this team has so many great guys to root for. Coincidentally, the podcast obtains an "exclusive follow-up editorial" from Rich and Judy who find anot

After a 45-17 win over the Jaguars this week, Brandan and Adam tip their hat to the Jaguars for doing something the 49ers couldn't do: score a touchdown at CenturyLink. After the game, the defense made a point in saying that giving up 17 points and 265 yards was unacceptable. Should fans agree with that view? One thing that is becoming apparent is the improved chemistry between Russell Wilson and the Seahawks receivers. Brandan wraps up the Jaguars recap by trying to make Jacksonville feel a little bit better about their decision to draft Bryan Anger ahead of Russell Wilson (as much as that's possible). In a preview of the Houston game, Brandan expects a much closer game between the Texans and Seahawks. Despite having the #2 ranked defense, Adam can't find a single player on the Texans defense to give credit to. Darin Pike, Seahawks columnist for Bleacher Report, comes on to talk about the teams in the NFC West. Having originally predicted the 49ers to finish third in the division, Darin now says they'll fini

For the first time, Adam and Brandan take an entire first segment to break down an upcoming Seahawks game. The Jacksonville Jaguars deserve it, right? You won't believe Adam's prediction for the final score or the type of natural disaster the Jags would need to pull out a victory. There's no calming Adam down when he goes into a tirade over a suggestion by 49ers fans that some rule changes should be instituted to quiet down the Seahawks fans at CenturyLink. Finally, listen to find out why Michael Vick and a member of the 12th Man with too much time on his hands are both better at life than Skip Bayless.

The Seahawks remain undefeated after two tough opponents. Brandan and Adam recap the 29-3 win against the 49ers and follow up with a look at a couple teams that could possibly challenge Seattle in coming weeks. Following the recap, Brandan and Adam interview Mike Flood, Vice President of Community Relations for the Seattle Seahawks, before the game Saturday night. In the last segment, Brandan talks about experiencing a live Jim Harbaugh press conference, and Adam learns a bit of history behind one of Harbaugh's quotes, which may consciously or subconsciously compare the 49ers 29-3 loss to the Boston Massacre. We talk about Skip Bayless as a master bloviator as we take your suggestions on how Bayless could possibly get into the Guinness Book of World Records. It's the perfect lead in to naming the 12th Man as the unanimous pick for "Better at Life."

Join in celebrating a TWELVE to seven win for the 12th Man over the Carolina Panthers in the opening weekend of NFL action. It may not have been pretty, but the Seahawks are 1-0 in the standings.
