Summary
We kick things off by celebrating the Seahawks position at the top of the NFC West after their bye week and 49ers loss to a Texans team Seattle just faced. How have the division standings shifted, what does it means for the playoff race, and are the Rams a threat or not? This week we're diving into the reasons why the Seahawks got to this point. Is this Seahawks offense sustainable with Jaxon Smith-Njigba's getting a majority of the targets? Or maybe there are areas of the game where he needs to be targeted more!
What are the biggest problems on offense? We take a look at third down conversion rates, the running game's inconsistencies, and how the team can improve in late-game situations. On the defensive side, we highlight the unit's dominance, impressive stats against the run, and the collective effort that keeps the Seahawks competitive. Plus, has the defense come up with their own nickname? What exactly are these "MOB ties" that Coach Mike Macdonald is speaking about?

| 0:11.2 | I'm Brandon Schultz, and I am joined by my good buddy, Adam Emmert. |
| 0:15.1 | Adam, we have not recorded a flagship show. |
| 0:18.6 | I've been on vacation. |
| 0:19.9 | I've then been traveling and it's finally |
| 0:23.1 | worked out that we get to talk some football together, buddy. Heck yeah, man. I hope all the |
| 0:27.5 | travels were fun. I know you did a card show over the weekend. It'd sound like that went good. |
| 0:31.6 | So congrats on that. And yeah, it's time to talk a little hawks here in the by week. |
| 0:37.6 | And it's kind of a fun time to be a 12, man. |
| 0:41.4 | I'm fired up. |
| 0:42.6 | We won the by week for one because as the Seahawks did not play, the 49ers did play, |
| 0:49.6 | and they lost to the Texans, which means they fall down below the Seahawks. |
| 0:54.1 | We are in a tie for first place, my friend. We are in a tie for first place, my friend. |
| 0:56.5 | We are in a tie for first place. |
| 0:58.1 | And it is interesting that the Niners go down to the Texans after the Seahawks go out and, well, maybe not on the scoreboard, dominate the football game. |
| 1:07.8 | And you watch a 49ers team really struggle with a Texans team that has massive |
| 1:13.7 | problems on offense. And after we beat the Texans, if you listen to any Texans talk, |
| 1:19.7 | you would know that the sky has fallen. 20, 20 is upon us. It's the apocalypse. It's all over. |
| 1:26.9 | Burn it down. |
| 1:27.8 | And yet they still go out and beat a Niners team, which had been kind of holding it together |
| 1:32.2 | with a little duct tape to this point. |
