More than anything, the Seahawks definitively showed with their win over Oakland that they are not a bad team. That doesn’t mean they’ll wind up being good, but they’re not bad.

Saturday's UW Huskies loss to Oregon at Autzen Stadium was absolutely devastating, writes Danny O'Neil -- not just because of the importance of the game and the degree of animosity toward the opponent, but because of the way it happened.

The UW Huskies have emerged from the Dark Ages, and Danny O'Neil for one is desperately afraid of going back. "If I’m being honest, that fear is gnawing at me just a bit as Washington heads down to Oregon for Saturday’s game."

In Danny O'Neil's weekly look at what we learned about the Seahawks, he explains how the Seahawks' blueprint on offense not only still works, but they're capable of executing it.

The Seahawks made a clock-management mistake in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game. It has nothing to do with the timeout that so many people in Seattle were screaming about, though.

The Seahawks were one play away from getting the ball back with 1:39 left with one last chance to pull out off an upset over one of the league’s last remaining unbeaten teams. Instead, they lost 33-31.

If the Seahawks are going to upset the Rams on Sunday it will be because Seattle's offense goes from struggling to competent to being outright potent.

In Danny O'Neil's weekly look at what we learned about the Seahawks, he breaks down the running game, an indefensible decision on offense and Sebastian Janikowski's job after the win in Arizona.

Danny O'Neil doesn’t blame Earl Thomas for being not just devastated but more than a little angry. He also doesn’t blame the Seahawks for their decision not to meet Thomas’ financial demands, and really, that’s the rub.

Sebastian Janikowski’s foot kept the Seahawks from suffering a defeat in Arizona that would have left Seattle stinging for a long, long time.
