Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports Though Seattle lands in the middle, the position group projections fall all over the board. The Seattle Seahawks have a top-5 offensive unit? In this economy?

• I was wrong about the Rams

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports What did I get so wrong about the 2023 Rams and why? If I do this for another 50 years, I may never be as wrong about a playoff team as I was about the 2023 Los Angeles Rams. At least, I was not alone. Coming off of a 5-12 season and left with only three true “stars” from the Super Bowl champions, all of whom were coming off of injuries and are over 30 years old,...2024

• Rams rookie report: Where was Zach Evans in Week 7?

Photo by Harry How/Getty Images Evans didn’t play a single snap against Steelers despite all the injuries to LA’s running backs The Los Angeles Rams lost an inexcusable game to the Pittsburgh Steelers, falling 24-17 to drop their record to 3-4 on the season. This was the ideal game for LA to get back over .500 for the first time since Week 1 and they blew it. I decided to switch up the for...2023

It turns out that Buffett was a rabid fan of the New Orleans Saints. And that made him a pretty damn big fan of Sean Payton....2023

• ESPN analyst breaks down Seahawks by position group

Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Agree or disagree? Let’s discuss. ESPN’s Mike Clay recently ranked the position groups for all 32 NFL teams and while the 12s may agree - in some cases, grudgingly - with most of the rankings, the overall result for the Seahawks is somewhat questionable. Since the article is behind a paywall, we’re only going to provide the highlights (and lowlights: see D-l...2023

• ESPN analyst makes tough call on weakest unit on the Seahawks roster
Photo by Jane Gershovich/Getty Images But overall, the Seahawks have one of the NFL’s best rosters. NFL roster rankings were just released by ESPN’s Mike Clay and Seth Walkder, and the Seattle Seahawks are just outside of the top-10. In fact, it’s pretty fitting that they’re No. 12. Every team has a listed strongest unit, weakest unit, an “X factor” for the upcoming season, and a non-start...2023

Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports Were the 2017 or 2023 Rams set up better for success? The Los Angeles Rams are entering a season with a lot of uncertainty. They are coming off of a 5-12 season and after offloading most of their star players, a rebuilding or re-tooling year looks to be on the horizon. This isn’t the first time that the Rams under McVay and Snead have had to take on this so...2023
