Rumors about a contract extension for Russell Wilson have been swirling around over the past week. Adam and Brandan talk about whether Wilson could see a fully guaranteed contract or whether or not he would hold off until the end of next season to negotiate.

Another contract being talked about is Marshawn Lynch's deal. It's not a done deal yet, but the rumblings sound as though something is close. Would the extra money to Marshawn be good for the team and it's ability to bring in more talent? The guys also take a look at a recent article on Hawkblogger showing how Doug Baldwin was able to get open more often against Darrelle Revis than we may have thought by looking at the box score.

Darin Pike, the first blogger to be a guest on this podcast, comes back on the show to hit on a ton of topics from an article he out this week on free agency, the draft, and other offseason projections. You can find Darin's work at 12th Man Musings on FanJabs.com.

Brandan's “do better” is directed toward Seahawks players who thought there may have been specific intent that went into the final Super Bowl play call, while Adam takes a run at Adrian Peterson;s agent and a member of the Vikings front office. Better at life honors go out to J.K. Simmons and his Oscar acceptance speech as well as a group of astronomers who discovered a black hole 12 billion times the size of the Sun.

With Marshawn Lynch reportedly considering retirement, Adam and Brandan talk about what Beast Mode means to the Seahawks offense and how life without him would be different. Though we will likely see him back in Seattle, it sounds like there are some serious health concerns Lynch has been working through.

The guys discuss whether finding a true number one receiver is necessary or even possible to incorporate into an offense that intends to stay true to a run-first mentality. Finally they discuss recent coaching changes and discuss franchise tags, the transition tag, and exclusive rights free agents.

Rob Staton of seahawksdraftblog.com comes on the show to talk about the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine this weekend and some players Seahawks fans might want to have on their radar. Rob also talks about two intriguing prospects at running back if the Seahawks aren't sold on Christine Michael and want a future replacement for Lynch.

We respond to a few of your emails from the past week and share our appreciation for the iTunes reviews that came in. Do Better candidates this week are Jamis Winston and Rex Ryan, while Better at Life honorees include an inspirational marathon runner and Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee.

It’s the first show of the offseason as the guys talk about Pete Carroll making the rounds and talking about what he is calling “the worst result of a call ever.” Adam and Brandan discuss injuries on both sides of the ball and how it could impact free agency. The guys run down the list of Seahawks free agents and talk about two big names being floated around as potential Seahawks: Ndamukong Suh and Larry Fitzgerald.

Coaching changes are underway as Ken Norton Jr. leaves for Oakland and Kris Richard is expected to be announced as the new defensive coordinator (note: the show was recorded before the official announcement was made on Monday). Brandan revisits the discussion about quarterback records in the first three seasons when the defense allows more than 24 points and issues a correction.

An abundance of emails, reviews and Facebook posts came in over the last week and we try and get to all of them. Good news is that the show can now receive reviews left on iTunes in other countries. With the NFL arrest season just starting, it makes for easy nominees for “Do Better.” Better at Life honors go to the Green Bay Packers and Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt.

The Seahawks suffer a heartbreaking loss in the final seconds of Super Bowl XLIX. Adam efficiently narrows the stages of grief down to two. Brandan offers a short line for all Seattle fans to memorize to try and help get through the loss.

Around the 18-minute mark of the show, Adam hits the peak of his tirade about the Seahawks decision to pass on their final offensive play of the game before the guys move on to praise Chris Matthews, who came out of nowhere to have an outstanding game, and talk about a tremendous Jermaine Kearse catch that was already being heralded as the dagger in the heart of the Patriots before the interception.

We take your calls, emails and tweets (two calls came in after recording the show and we wanted to include them in the portion of the show usually reserved for interviews). Thanks for all of the input and support!

Moving on to “Do Better,” Brandan calls out a couple Seahawks players for moments they’re likely regretting following the game, and the guys speculate on what Johnny Manziel might be in treatment for. “Better at Life honors” go out to Richard Sherman for playing hurt and Marshawn Lynch for his entertainment leading up to the game and restraint afterward.

Days away from watching the Seahawks appear in their third Super Bowl in team history, Adam and Brandan are joined by Gerrad this week to break down the matchup with the New England Patriots. The guys start by listening in on 90 hilarious seconds of Bill Belichick’s press conference where it talks about the deflated balls . . . footballs, before moving on to some real analysis.

From how the two teams matchup broadly on each side of the ball to individual matchups with the Rob Gronkowski, Marshawn Lynch, and who might be spying on Russell Wilson, the guys cover as much ground as possible in looking at the different aspects of this game.

BostonHawk, Dave Bloomquist, joins the show from deep in Patriots territory to talk about how the Seahawks are perceived by opposing fans in the area. He also talks about his ingenious ploy to get Patriots fans to help him showcase the 12 flag at a variety of Boston landmarks.

After offering predictions on the game, Gerrad heads out while Adam and Brandan get into your emails. Adam offers a sincere apology while putting himself in the “Do Better” slot and Brandan goes after Rich Eisen. The guys wrap up the show with Better at Life nominees Brandon Browner and a highlight of an amazing sendoff by fans when the Seahawks departed for Glendale.
