1. Someone remind Colin about his prediction that Jalen Hurts won't do well as Eagles franchise QB!

2. COLINS THE LAST MAN THAT KNOWS BALL LETS GO SAMMY KEEP ON SLINGIN THAT SAMMY D

3. Colin I’m really sorry but you do not speak for all Seahawks fans. I’m a fricking visionary apparently bc I have had opinions on Russel and Pete ever since the second superbowl, Russ’s big contract and most importantly, every interview or coach firing after a playoff loss.

4. Metcalf was always a problem child… Carol holding us Back for years… Never letting our GM do his thing…I did and do still like # 16 Tyler Locket… We should pick him up next year soooo he can get a Super Bowl on his way too Retirement …

5. Good Takes

6. Sam Sarnold is who he is today because of Shannahan!!!! Mac jones, Purdy, Joshua Dobbs, Matt Ryan….Shannahan

7. Dk is really good and we all loved him but he was a bit greedy. In other words cutting him freed up the cap space we needed to put together a solid defense which was falling apart years prior and our o line

8. Smart people + Destiny

9. Just jinxed him…

10. Rams play-calling haven’t been good since the falcons game

11. Colin the phrase "Sucks to suck" when talking about all the critics preseason. They got poo on them and now they try to find anything to rub it on to get it off them.

12. Purdy makes the NFCCG and the SB in back to back years, "it's the team and the system"

    Darnold wins 1 playoff game "see! I told you he's the next coming of Jesus"

13. I’m pulling for Seattle to beat the Rams on Sunday. But if the Seahawks lose I’m hoping Mike McDonald screams to the press “I WAS IN A POOL! I WAS IN A POOL!”

14. The thing is Darnold plays great but then he’ll remember he’s Sam Darnold and revert to Jets Sam Darnold. Like he did last year’s playoffs.

15. Quit calling grown men kids. SMH

16. Any true Hawk fan knew DK can't catch

17. Cam’s issues was mental and lack of desire

18. Darnold good American football player.

19. J Mac is the biggest chiefs hater for no reason. Dude will search for anyway to downplay anything the Chiefs do by completely ignoring the Chiefs best years on offense in the Mahomes era were with EB and instantly fell off when Nagy came in.

20. STUPIDGUEST!!!!!!

21. This is why J Mack should never host his own show.

22. Sam hasn’t even had his best game yet this year.

23. WRONG. Literally EVERYONE thought DK leaving was a good move. D.K. stands for "Drop King"

24. 27:48 this wasn’t a shot at Darnold cos, in his case, the ghosts were chasing him.

25. Amen

26. Keon Ellis was drafted while Ladd McConkey was available but, hey, he was the coach’s choice, so not Beane’s fault.

27. Yeah, Stafford threw for a thousand yards, Puka had his greatest performance ever, and they still lost. Banking on seeing those kind of numbers again against the top defense is a bad bet. And Darnold obviously doesn't need to be elite for Seattle to win. Such a bad take from Mangini.

28. The evil Sam Darnold is still in there and he will come on Sunday against the Rams!! He will throw 3 picks and the Seahawks will lose by double digits

    Rams 34
    Seahawks 20

29. I wouldn’t say Darnold has been great….he has been good. I also was meh about the signing. I saw him as a younger but in the same tier as what we had. I was actually calling to trade DK. His penalties were costing us a game a season

30. Cowherd has clearly lost the beat of where Seahawks fans are at as a whole. 90% is an insane exaggeration. I couldn't stand the thought of watching another season of Geno Smith, and half the Seahawks fans felt the same way. Most people loved DK, until last year. Last year when he got on the phone on the sideline most Seahawks fans were okay with getting rid of him.

31. Thicc, trunky, coastal kid with a Midwest ethos… iykyk 🎉

32. Up until Darnold landed with the Vikings last year, he was on poor teams with poor management. So, I just don’t understand all the negative opinions of his ability. I think there might be an anti USC bias in play. I had heard many times that Carson Palmer was the only successful quarterback from USC in the NFL. This was before Darnold, of course.

33. Collin you were the only one to think it was never going to work

34. Actually DK and Geno did not want to come back. John made it work but those weren’t his choices.

35. SD won’t get the respect even when he wins the SB. He won’t care, neither the team and 12s. In SD and team we trust💙💚💙💚🏈Mission Over Bull💩

36. Still don’t feel fully confident with Sam just yet, but I was happy when we got rid of DK.

37. Colin was wrong : nobody said Sam Darnold to the Seahawks was a bad move.

    Darnold has been good, but that defense is probably right behind Houston’s.

38. Of all the things that have happened to the Hawks this year, the thing I am enjoying and happiest about it how revitalized Lawrence is. Didn't follow him as closely when he at Dallas, but I know people were dismissing him as regressing, over-the-hill, you name it. Listen to him now, watch him on the field. It's like he's 6-7 years younger all of a sudden.

39. This dude in the back half who just glazes the rams doesn’t point out that the ram’s 1 L by more than 4 points is the same for the Seahawks. 9 points total on the hawks 3 losses

40. I liked all those moves. I liked it when Russell got here. I liked it when we got rid of them. Gina was never more in the bridge and Sam looked like the real fan of me. I don't really care if a gunslinger has an interception or two. He's a gunslinger. I hope we don't ruin that.
