We tried to tell ‘em about the Seattle Seahawks.
Our Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl champions!! The 29-13 score belies the fact that the Seahawks utterly dominated the New England Patriots. Some in the media were trying really hard to find ways that the Patriots could hang with the Seahawks. At the end of the day, that was a futile effort with a whole lot of wasted breath.
The Dark Side lived up to its moniker with another example of “Professional Destruction.” Seattle’s offense could’ve played better, but they really didn’t need it. The defense was so damn suffocating, and I bet that they’re pissed off for even allowing 13 points. The 2026 Seattle Seahawks, playing in their 50th season as a franchise, were a historically good team that both righted a lot of wrongs from the past while paving their own way in the annals of Seahawks history.
Seahawks Droppings
- Mike Macdonald, you wonderful man! If a coach could win Super Bowl MVP, this would’ve been the right time to do it. Macdonald, in his second season at the helm, became the first defensive playcalling head coach to win a Super Bowl. He was nails all season long including tonight. I don’t think it can be truly understood how difficult Macdonald’s job is to balance all of the other parts of being a head coach with calling the defense. He’s the best coach in the NFL and he’s ours.
- Kenneth Walker III put the team on his back. I hope this isn’t the last time we see the impending free agent in a Seahawks uniform, but if it was, the Super Bowl 60 MVP had a hell of a game. K9 had 29 touches for 161 total yards and had a long TD called back in the final two minutes which would’ve made his game even more impressive.
- Sam Darnold missed a handful of throws tonight, but he also was a wizard at evading pressure and made the plays that he needed to. Most of all, he didn’t turn the ball over, continuing that run at the end of the season. Guess what? You CAN win a Super Bowl with Sam Darnold!
- Playoff Cooper Kupp comes through again. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba missing part of the game, the Yakima Kid came up with 6 catches for 61 yards, including a big first down conversion once again. I’m not sure if he’ll retire or not, but he was such a fantastic complement down the line this season.
- How about those special teams? Jason Myers made Super Bowl record 5 FGs and became the single season points leader including playoffs in NFL history. That’s good! You know who else is good? Michael Freakin’ Dickson! He dropped two punts down inside the 5 yard line, putting even more pressure on a Patriots offense that was being suffocated.
- Welcome to the Dark Side. Seattle’s defense tied a Super Bowl record with 6 sacks, forced 1 fumble, picked off 2 passes with a defensive TD. They harassed Drake Maye all game long, after shutting down the running game. Maye also had a few plays which could have or should have been picked off. I don’t care that he got through the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos. Those defenses can’t hold a candle to the Dark Side.
- I could literally call out every player on the Defense. Derick Hall and Byron Murphy each had 2.0 sacks with Hall forcing a fumble that was recovered by Murphy. Rylie Mills showed up with a bull rush sack. Nick Emmanwori was sticky in coverage and had some key tackles in bounds towards the end of the game. Ernest Jones IV led the Seahawks with 11 tackles. Julian Love had 1 INT. Maybe no one player had a bigger impact than Devon Witherspoon. The defensive sparkplug had 1.0 sack, 1 TFL, and 1 QB Hit which led directly to the Uchenna Nwosu INT return for a TD. Had they not given up the quick score and garbage time TD, people would be talking more about this performance. Still, this is one of the best defenses in NFL History, earning a place beside the LOB.
This one feels so damn good. The fact that the Seahawks had to go through the gauntlet of the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, and the New England Patriots makes it all the sweeter. Winning in a dominant fashion puts the Super Bowl 49 loss in the grave and opens a new championship window for the Seahawks. For now, I won’t get ahead of myself. The Seattle Seahawks are once again Super Bowl Champions!!
