OT: Non-Kraken Local Sports (Mariners, Seahawks, Sounders, etc.)

Yeah it's been a rough year all around.

The Huskies, too. I really wanted them to make a dent in their new conference home like Oregon did, but the good teams mostly steamrolled them. Guess that's what happens when like every starter gets drafted the year before.

Lost the HC and a bunch of starters. Unless one of the tech billionaires decides to pull a Phil knight and put money into the program they will be like Wisconsin and PSU in the big 10. Every 3 years have a strong team but can’t string that many great years consecutively.

Once again, tonight’s outcome is why you can’t lose to the f***ing Giants.

Yep. I mean, they could finish 10-7 and they would miss the PO vs the prior 2, where 9-8 got you in (tie breaker needed). AFC, if Denver wins vs a resting KC team, they get to 10 wins and make it. So, this is one of those years where WC3, needed to be better.

Seattle will finish with a 2nd place schedule. So, next season, they get loser of the Det/Min game next week, plus, Washington. Then vs AFC, they get 2nd place of the North (most likely Pitt).

They play both South divisions in 2025.

Vs the South they host the saints and Bucs. Would host Indy and Houston. And would host the nfc north 2nd place team.

Road vs Jax, Ten, Wash, Car, Atl and AFC North 2nd place. Some hot weather cities, so Seattle should hope to avoid playing them in Sept when it’s really humid in the south.

Would now expect the Rams to rest Stafford. Will host either Wash or GB in WC weekend. So Seattle sees the familiar Jimmy G on Sunday.

The Seahawks and Mariners have each missed the playoffs by a single game in each of the last two seasons.

Fortunately, st least the Mariners are…aware that it’s currently the free agency period?

It was one of those seasons for the Hawks. 9-8 made the PO via tie breakers the past 2 seasons. But 10-7 misses this season. It happens.

Need to improve that home record. Schneider does not like to but he needs to either use draft capital or cap space to upgrade the IOL.

Not sure I see an upgrade over Geno in the off season. He’s under contract for another season. Aim should be to run it back or hand over to Howell if Geno sits.
 
Congrats to Pete Carroll for landing the LV HC job.

Despite the talking heads on radio and tv, they seem to ignore that Pete won't have the level of power he did in Seattle with LV. It's Spytek's team to mold. So, I don't see a bunch of former hawks making their way to LV.

I could see Lockett as a vet WR, but don't see any trades like DK to LV.

If Pete is insistent on continuing to coach, then I wish him well. He's made plenty of money so he must still feel that fire or something.

He has the desire. I do wonder how much influence the GM and Brady will have on the coordinators. Pete hasn't done great at hiring OCs and DC's in a while. Are they going to try to add a young coach or two whom they hope Pete can help groom to take over in 3 seasons?

With the Hawks, regarding Metcalf, I believe he is a $31 mill cap charge, but $18 mill in real money owing in 2025, not guaranteed, so if they did cut him, he'd be a $21 mill dead cap charge. If he were to play out the season and walk, he'd have $7.5 mill in dead money for 2026 ($13.5 mill of that $21 mill dead cap would have applied in 2025). So, they could adjust the salary to make some of it a bonus and push the cap charge into 2026. I get not looking at giving him another big contract. But, should run it back another season with him and if he walks, you let him walk. As they have OL and DL needs. So maybe wait a year before using assets/picks to get another WR.

What do you make of their hire at OC, Kubiak? I know the Saints offense was killing it last season until injuries started to pile up, but I still feel on the fence.

Honestly comes down to OL coach and any acquisitions they make. Protection and blocking make or break your play calls.
 
With Philly dominating both trenches, Seattle needs to beef up both lines.
That’s more a priority than another WR to replace Lockett or adding a TE or CB.
