Summary

The Seahawks suffered an infuriating loss to the Packers on Sunday, but it did bring some clarity on changes that need to be made in the offseaon (if not sooner). We take a look at what went wrong with the team in their slow start and what kept them from coming back despite having the opportunity, in part thanks to the defense for bouncing back in the second half. However, the offense remained a disaster throughout, exacerbated by Geno Smith's injury and the decision to put Sam Howell into chucker mode .

Looking ahead, we take a look at the upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings. Considering the Vikings level of talent, both players and coaching, this may be the most complete team the Seahawks have faced all year. But can our Seahawks be a "trap game" for Minnesota, given their challenging schedule ahead? That's one of a small number of factors that could give us some hope toward victory for the final home game of the regular season.

In the second half of the show, we take a look at one of the plays that may have helped seal the offseason fate of Ryan Grubb. Plus we take a look at the playoff picture, the potential for the Seahawks to still make a run, and the importance fans play for home field advantage. Do better call outs go to the Charlotte Hornets and two teams the faced the Los Angeles Rams recently. Plus Adam has a rare self-nomination for the Better at Life spot that he shares with the Seahawks latest nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.

0:16.1	Adam traveling on the road this week.
0:18.9	But we're getting a show in, even though our Seahawks, Adam, are, uh, we're still recovering after being on the losing end of the, uh, infuriating game this last Sunday. Yeah, infuriating is a fair enough word. Deflating is maybe one that I would go with also, and I think one that we talked about

1:08.0	Yeah, there was a lot of that.
1:10.3	And because it didn't need to be that stupid.
1:14.5	And a part of it is, I think the thing that was the most frustrating about it was how we were starting to really buy in on the defense.
1:27.3	And then we saw it kind of revert to some of the issues that we saw prior to four weeks ago.
1:33.8	The entire game, really, if you think about the things that the progress that the offense has made
1:38.8	and also the progress that the defense has made, it all reverted back to what we were seeing four or five weeks ago.
1:48.5	The defense, able to get back on track relatively in the second half.
1:53.6	The offense, it was a disaster of the entire game, and that that was exacerbated by the fact that Sam Howell had to come in for
