The Seahawks and Falcons played last season, with Atlanta winning convincingly 34-18. Matt Hasselbeck was benched due to poor performance for Charlie Whitehurst and was even booed by the home crowd. On Sunday, the surprisingly struggling Falcons return to Qwest CenturyLink Field to face off against the Seahawks again.

Some recent Seahawks stuff:

-  Head coach Pete Carroll is steadfast in  starting Tarvaris Jackson at QB despite generally poor performances.

- Aaron Curry is firmly entrenched as a bust after being benched for a rookie 4th round pick last week and  recently having his contract restructured.

-  Despite a torn labrum in his shoulder, Sidney Rice is healthy to play  and had a game-high 8 receptions for 108 yards in his Seahawks debut last Sunday against the Cardinals.

- The "Suck for Luck" fan uproar that started after Seattle began 0-2 has mostly died down after the victory against Arizona.

Any questions about the Seahawks, ask away!

Hello Windy City Gridiron. You may recall me from the first Ask a Seahawks Fan fanpost in October. In what seems like a surprise in retrospect, the Seahawks handled the Bears at Soldier Field 23-20 in a game that wasn't as close as the score would lead some to indicate.

Both teams have taken vastly different paths to close out the regular season. Seattle struggled and stumbled into winning the NFC West with a 7-9 record, while Chicago surged after that game and firmly secured the NFC's #2 seed and a first-round bye.

The first matchup was notable for being the breakout game of Mike Williams (career high 10 receptions for 123 TDs) after we rid ourselves of Deion Branch, and the first game of Marshawn Lynch as a Seahawk. Jay Cutler was sacked 6 times, including for a safety, and Matt Forte was held to 11 yards rushing on 8 carries.

This Saturday, the defending champion New Orleans Saints travel to icy Seattle and raucous Qwest Field in a Wild Card weekend playoff battle. The Seahawks get the home-field advantage despite a 7-9 record due to winning the NFC West.

The last time they played each other, the Saints emerged victorious with a 34-19  victory after pulling away in the second half, despite Matt Hasselbeck throwing for 366 yards, his highest total since 2004.

So, it's finally come down to this. A season-ending showdown pitting two heavily mediocre teams against each other on national television for the right to be declared the winner of quite possibly the worst division in the history of the NFL. The St. Louis Rams travel to the rainswept Seattle this Sunday after an impressive turn around from a disastrous 1-15 effort last season, led by Offensive Rookie of the Year lock Sam Bradford. The Seattle Seahawks stumble into this game after fading spectacularly after a 4-2 start to the season. The winner lives on in infamy and owns the right to a home playoff game despite being assured a non-winning record.

The last time they played each other, the Rams came out on top with a surprisingly dominant 20-3 victory after a franchise-worst 10 consecutive losses to the Seahawks dating back to 2004.

How's it going Big Blue View. Hoped you were all able to survive the boredom of the bye-week and enjoy watching some other teams today (how about them 'Boys, eh?). My Seahawks have just came off an embarrassing performance against the Raiders, a blowout loss that borders on historic in terms of how one-sided the yardage was.

Next week, the Giants travel all the way to the other end of the country to the rainy Pacific Northwest, just in time for the beginning of the dreary weather season, to face the Seahawks at raucous Qwest Field.

The Seahawks have become unexpected contenders in the NFC West after 2 consecutive disastrous seasons that netted only 4 and 5 wins. The Giants have looked like a pretty strong team all season and will try to further their hold on the rest of the NFC this Sunday.

The last time the Seahawks and Giants matched up, Seattle left New York in 2008 with a humiliating 44-6 beatdown, notable for the RB trio of Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward, and Ahmad Bradshaw all averaging at least 6 yards per carry.

In anticipation of the game next week, ask away any questions you may have about the Seahawks or the coaching staff and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. I think this game is very important for both teams.

What up Raider Nation. Congrats on the beatdown of the Broncos today.  I'm pretty pumped about the Seahawks victory against the division rival Cardinals at home, although it wasn't pretty at times and certainly not as dominant and complete a thrashing as your victory today.

Next week, Seattle travels to Oakland in a match-up reuniting old division rivals for decades before the division re-alignment.

Both teams are exceeding most expectations this season, and are contending for their respective division titles.

In anticipation of the game next week, ask away any questions you may have about the Seahawks or the coaching staff and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. I've been looking forward to this game since the schedule was released.

First off, congratulations on your win against the Panthers. We Seahawks fans aren't feeling that great after an uninspiring road loss to the Rams heading in to our bye-week, the first time we've lost to them since 2004. However, the season is still early and the Hawks have as good as a chance as any team to win the woefully bad NFC West.

This week, Seattle travels to the Windy City to face the Bears. The last time the Bears and Seahawks matched up, Jay Cutler engineered a 4th quarter comeback to defeat the Seahawks at home. This game is also remembered for the debut of  the neon green alternate jerseys of the Seahawks.

In anticipation of the game, ask away any questions you may have about the Seahawks, the coaching staff, or anything like that, and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. This game will have a variety of interesting match-ups so I'm certainly expecting an entertaining game.

First off, congratulations on your win against the Redskins. We Seahawks fans are also pretty pumped about beating the Chargers at home yesterday, although it wasn't always pretty. Often, it was terrifying at times.

Next week Seattle travels to St. Louis to begin the first of their two seasonal division battles. The Rams haven't beaten the Seahawks since 2004, when they swept the regular season series and also beat them in the first round of the playoffs.

In anticipation of the game next week, ask away any questions you may have about the Seahawks or the coaching staff and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. I'm sure this game will be far more interesting to watch than the previous few match-ups, as both teams' rosters are vastly different from before. 

NOTE: 1st round only, and I created this a couple nights before the combine so be gentle. After going through it again I can already see some changes. I think it started off well until around the Giants pick, when the wheels started to come off.

Thoughts, opinions, and criticisms all welcomed. Sound off!

You've all grown weary of my incessant snide remarks against the 49ers and heaping of praise vs. the Seahawks over the last few months. Up until the matchup today I didn't even think the 49ers would come even close to winning. As evidenced by the sound beating that Seattle took today.
