- 1d David Lombardi (X) This is accurate. Seattle lost an overpowering RB and offensive balance and this has been the very predictable result · Quoting Dugar, Michael-Shawn: Maybe this is just because I saw 2025 for what it was, but idk why anyone expects Sam Darnold to be consistently competent in a one-dimensional offense. He’s never been that. Not even last year when they won it all. Changing QBs doesn’t change the need for balance.
- 1d Greg Auman (X) Sam Darnold tonight on passes not targeting Jaxon Smith-Njigba: 11-for-23, 70 yards, INT. Barely over three yards per attempt.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) New All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson after his first #Seahawks game, starting and playing all of the 34-17 home loss to the Bears: “We’ve just got to execute better.” Didn’t like he gave up a pressure of Sam Darnold by Grady Jarrett in the first half. I saw it one play after he pinned the Bears DT chest-down into the turf on a run block. @933KJR
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) “Not our best,” Sam Darnold says after Bears smash his #Seahawks 34-17 On throwing quickly, vs holding the ball.: “There were opportunities to get the ball out. I just didn’t. “I have to be better in certain situations.” “Just wasn’t good enough…We’re going to take a hard look at ourselves.” @933KJR
- 1d David Lombardi (X) 118 of Sam Darnold’s 188 passing yards went to JSN today. That is an absurd 63% rate and exactly what I meant when I said Seattle was playing with fire a few weeks ago. The Seahawks have now been burnt by their imbalance multiple times

- 1d Gregg Bell (X) The return of Jadarian Price, Zach Charbonnet's season debut are no help for Sam Darnold. He throws another INT. The offense's continued woes leave defense exposed early, late by Bears. Seattle's 34-17 loss its most lopsided defeat since Dec. 2024. The champs are 4-4: @933KJR
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) The home folks are leaving after the Bears convert a defensive lineman’s INT of Sam Darnold—the QB’s 9th interception in 6 games—into a 34-17 Chicago lead on the #Seahawks with 4:41 left. “Green Bay Sucks!” chants breaking out from Bears fans inside Lumen Field. @933KJR

- 1d Brad Biggs (X) James Lynch with an interception and the #Bears are really going to be able to pad the lead here. Sam Darnold has not looked comfortable in the pocket all night.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) Great play-action fake by Sam Darnold, Jeffery Simmons thought it was a run, results in #Seahawks touchdown 7 yards to Cooper Kupp. His first catch tonight. 2pt play down 20-15: Darnold looks, looks--hits Tory Horton across end zone's back line. Seattle cuts Chicago's lead to 20-17, 11:46 left. All of DeMarcus Lawrence's hustle fumble play.
- 1d Brad Biggs (X) Sam Darnold off the play fake connects with Cooper Kupp for a 7-yard TD. On the 2-point conversion, Darnold finds Tory Horton. #Bears ahead 20-17, 11:46 remaining.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) Sam Darnold terrible throw in to coverage at the goal line for a would-be interception negated by Chicago DB Clark Phillips obviously holding Jaxon Smith-Njigba coming out of his break on a shorter out route. Penalty gives SEA a red-zone 1st down instead.
- 1d Brad Biggs (X) Cam Lewis intercepts Sam Darnold in the end zone but Clark Phillips is called for holding. Jaylon Johnson now back on the field.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) That run sets up the bootleg play-action pass, for 17 yards to AJ Barner. That's finally the Fleury game plan on early downs. · Quoting Gregg Bell: The Bears sack Sam Darnold on the first play to begin the 2nd half. Then Zach Charbonnet re-emerges from exile for a run for 13 yards--and the first rushing first down by the #Seahawks tonight, with 4 mins left in the 3Q
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) The Bears sack Sam Darnold on the first play to begin the 2nd half. Then Zach Charbonnet re-emerges from exile for a run for 13 yards--and the first rushing first down by the #Seahawks tonight, with 4 mins left in the 3Q · Quoting Gregg Bell: This is (again) what happens when defenses don't honor or respect the #Seahawks sputtering (again) running game. Sack of no-chance Sam Darnold ruins Seattle's 1st drive after halftime. Punting down 13-9. 35 yds on 9 carries, including Price 13y on 4 rushes. Charbonnet hasn't played since 3rd drive, which began late 1Q

Charbonnet hasn't played since 3rd drive, which began late 1Q
- 1d Kevin Fishbain (Bluesky) Jaylon Johnson got a good jam on JSN on the line and had tight coverage while Montez Sweat brought Sam Darnold down for a sack, leading to Seattle's fourth three-and-out of the night.
- 1d NFL Daily News (Bluesky) Sam Darnold has passed for 94 yards. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has accounted for 92 of those yards
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) Presto! Change-o! Touchdown #Seahawks. Jaxon Smith-Njigba gets open deep for the 1st time. Stutter move fools flat-footed CB Stevenson. Sam Darnold completes the pass for a 43-yard TD on the go route left sideline. Darnold yelling to his teammates on the sideline. Jason Myers misses the XPT. Bears lead 13-9 late 2Q
- 1d Adam Jahns (X) Another end-of-half fiasco for the Bears defense. Sam Darnold finds JSN vs. Tyrique Stevenson one-on-one: Easy TD.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) 3rd & 6, Sam Darnold goes quickly to the checkdown to TE AJ Barner short as Jaxon Smith-Njigba had inside leverage and was running by the Bears LCB deep down the right slot. Once the cloud-covering safety saw how quickly Darnold checked down he left over the top of JSN. #Seahawks punt again, down 10-3
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) On a 2-yard run by Price away from him, new #Seahawks LG Quenton Nelson pinned CHI DT Grady Jarrett to the turf chest-1st, then fell on him. They exchanged words. Next snap, 3rd & long, Garrett gets inside Nelson and forces Sam Darnold to leave pocket, throw late INC low to Holani. Michael Dickson punts. CHI leads 7-3
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) #Seahawks use 2 WR screens for 37 yds to Smith-Njigba to drive to Jason Myers field goal. Drive stalls inside the 10 on a run and 2 short passes quick to Zach Charbonnet. 3rd & goal from 15 curious how quickly Sam Darnold threw to Charbonnet short middle, as if the primary receiver, in tight cvg w LB Devin Bush on the RB's hip.
- 1d Brad Biggs (X) Tyrique Stevenson was pointing before that last snap as if he knew he was outnumbered. Simple throw by Sam Darnold to JSN at the line of scrimmage goes for 17 yards. Not a lot Stevenson could do that. He was outflanked.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) Sam Darnold WR screen in right slot slithers thru block by Tory Horton for a 20-yard gain to the Bears 33 to begin #Seahawks' 2nd possession, down 7-0. Then Jadarian Price's first rush since week 3 goes for 8 yards off right tackle.
- 1d Ryan Wood (X) Of all the roughing calls I’ve seen this season, and Sam Darnold getting a kill shot while sitting on his ass at the end of a textbook slide is a…nothing? Nada? Really?? The NFL has lost the entire point of protecting the QB.
- 1d Albert Breer (X) I’m surprised replay assist didn’t jump in on the Devin Bush hit on Sam Darnold. Seemed pretty clear.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) Before Sam Darnold got crushed at the end of that slide and third-down scramble by Bears LB Devin Bush, LT Josh Jones put Jeffery Simmons on the ground chest-first on the bull-rush attempt. #Seahawks punt down 7-0.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) Zach Charbonnet the first running back getting handoffs from Sam Darnold, Jadarian Price the second to run in #Seahawks team 1s vs 1s warmups before kickoff vs Bears. @933KJR
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) Zach Charbonnet took the first handoff from Sam Darnold of #Seahawks pregame warmups. Jadarian Price took the second one from the starting quarterback 45 or so minutes before kickoff vs the Bears here at Lumen Field @933KJR

- Oct 26 Seahawks Team Site Sam Darnold And Offense Have More Effective, Cleaner Showing In Week 7 Win
- Oct 26 Gregg Bell (X) In addition to this after he, #Seahawks dominate previously unbeaten Chiefs, Sam Darnold says a key for him was “learning from the last couple weeks, just put the ball in play,” not hold onto the ball a long time. Sacked 10x previous 2 games. Zero sacks tonight. @933KJR
- Oct 25 Gregg Bell (X) Jaxon Smith-Njigba said his eyes got big when he saw all the Chiefs’ man coverage on him. Says his TD was all Sam Darnold, a check to that call at the line when the QB saw KC’s press, man coverage there. Said #Seahawks’ “backs were against the wall” after 2 straight losses. Says they treated this like a playoff game. “We wanted this one, bad.” @933KJR
- Oct 25 Gregg Bell (X) That 3rd down Chiefs back out of blitz look, drop 7 to coverage. No one open for Sam Darnold. So he waits, waits--and runs decisively up the field for 10 yards for another #Seahawks coversion. SEA is 8 for 10 on third downs.
- Oct 25 Gregg Bell (X) That first half Sam Darnold threw his 18 passes for 13 completions, 178 yards and the #Seahawks touchdown to JSN in an average of 2.3 seconds. That's the fastest time to throw of his career. Throwing quickly is how OC Brian Fleury is beating Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo's blitzes and 1-on-1 cvg outside
- Oct 25 Gregg Bell (X) Chiefs' 58-yd FG try gifted to them by Sam Darnold's end-zone INT returned past midfield is short. #Seahawks lead KC 10-0 at halftime. Defense dominating. Speed, tackling, pressure on Mahomes later in improv plays. Nick Emmanwori absolute stud so far. KC 96 total yds on 24 plays. JSN burning KC's man coverage, 129 yds on 6 catches @933KJR
- Oct 25 Gregg Bell (X) Sam Darnold on 2nd and goal with more #Seahawks points in the bag to end the half throws late under pressure into 3 Chiefs in the back of the end zone. 8th interception in 4 1/2 games. Chiefs stealing a field-goal attempt. Again, turnovers giving a Seattle opponent only chance to score

- Oct 25 Gregg Bell (X) That's how to beat a zero blitz by Chiefs: A 1-step drop by Sam Darnold and throw 1 on 1 to the reigning NFL offensive player of the year. Jaxon Smith-Njigba touchdown makes it #Seahawks 10, Chiefs 0, 1:44 left in the 2Q. Seattle is 7 for 9 converting on 3rd downs, incl that 1 · Quoting Gregg Bell: Replay review is indeed a #Seahawks touchdown and 9-0 lead
- Oct 25 Gregg Bell (X) Replay review is indeed a #Seahawks touchdown and 9-0 lead · Quoting Gregg Bell: 3rd & long, again Sam Darnold looks at one guy. And Jaxon Smith-Njigba delivers. Again. 1-on-1 fade to the goal line. Expertly kept Delane on his back. This upon replay review should be a #Seahawks touchdown.
- Oct 25 Gregg Bell (X) 3rd & long, again Sam Darnold looks at one guy. And Jaxon Smith-Njigba delivers. Again. 1-on-1 fade to the goal line. Expertly kept Delane on his back. This upon replay review should be a #Seahawks touchdown.
- Oct 25 Pete Sweeney (X) George Karlaftis reaches for Sam Darnold but escapes, and Chris Jones was laboring to get there. He couldn't, and Darnold scrambles and picks up a fresh set of downs.
- Oct 25 Pete Sweeney (X) Chiefs only rushed 2, yet George Karlaftis found a way to pressure Sam Darnold, who just threw it away. Steve Spagnuolo loves to blitz, yet right there, great call to just cover the end zone.
- Oct 25 Gregg Bell (X) Sam Darnold is looking at one #Seahawks receiver on 3rd downs: Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He keeps getting open on quick inside cuts. That one runs thru a tackle after the catch on 3rd & 7 for 33-yard gain to the Chiefs 20. 3 catches, 52 yards for JSN already, early 2Q, 0-0 game

- Oct 16 Jeremy Fowler (X) Asking some people in the league on this today, the feeling is this is the right move. Darnold is an effective starter but needs more help, cleaner surroundings.

- Oct 16 Pat Leonard (X) Thursday Night Football takeaways: Seahawks: OC Brian Fleury was just picking plays, not calling a game. Seattle often was not in the right play or protection to pick up what Broncos defense was sending. Vance Joseph took Fleury to school I don’t understand why Sam Darnold doesn’t move his feet to reset in the pocket when it’s not perfect. He played very poorly, and if Drew Lock’s right arm is OK (I saw a brace on his elbow), Seahawks should give Darnold a break. He made a handful of good throws but was killing them all night Broncos: First the offense was Davis Webb’s fault. Now it’s Bo Nix’s fault. When does Sean Payton become accountable for it? Once Seahawks defense committed to stopping the run, Denver barely gained a yard Game management: Payton’s pass play call late in the 4th, allowing Seahawks to retain a timeout, and his QB sneak out of empty in overtime were horrendous decisions. He won the game in spite of them #talkinball

49ers won a game that is difficult to celebrate and that’s why they’re so upset after a win. Why?
Sam played a bad a game. Still led his offense to 29 points vs a defense that was supposed to be great.
Brock Purdy led his team to 25 points and that’s while starting from the 9 yard line and 19 yard line. Slightly better than average at best?
Seahawks have work to do, noted. 49ers are 5-0 touted as a Super Bowl contender but you can’t beat Sam Darnold’s offense on its worst day?
Like a 49ers fan tweeted earlier “Did the SF 49ers peak too early?”
