The Seahawks won a huge game against the Eagles on Sunday, and the HB crew was in a celebratory mood in a reunion episode of Real Hawk Talk. After a long hiatus, Brian was able to rejoin the show and catch up with Jeff, Evan, and newly shorn Nathan. Discussions ranged from what exactly we took away from the win over Philly, to how things have changed with Jimmy Graham, Sheldon Richardson, and Luke Joeckel. We also looked ahead to Jacksonville and the guys tried to convince Brian not to fear the Jags defense, while he argued the team should play conservatively and let Blake Bortles lose the game.

Sponsored by Steam Donkey Brewing (www.steamdonkeybrewing.com) and Altitude Homes (http://altitude-re.com/hb) The Seahawks finally dominated an opponent. It was the Colts, and it was only a half, but it was still pretty awesome. What does it mean? What's next? The Rams and their high-scoring offense. This game has massive implications for the division. We welcome Brady Henderson of ESPN to the show to discuss all this and more. Become a Hawk Blogger Patron at http://patreon.com/hawkblogger
