Seattle Seahawks Thread

4-3 will you look at that.

9 regular season games left with 6 of them at home.

Actually in the wildcard spot now amazingly!

Hopefully that’s not the peak of our drives today!!! Fell away as we went on last week.

Really not healthy to go to bed late on a Sunday this frustrated week in week out!

Going to need the full off-season this year to recover.

Not good for the nerves the last few weeks.

I don't think we'll be playing much in January, but I'm more optimistic than I've been in a long time. The team's identity - running and defense - have improved, as has, somehow, the O line.

I think we've a shot at the playoffs but will most likely just fall short as we are probably the 3rd best team outside of the division winners. I'd class the Vikings, the Bears and the Panthers as being marginally better.

The Panthers are in a strong position right now but still have to play the Saints twice. The Vikings and the Bears have to play each other twice also.

That being said its the Panthers on the road up next, a win there would definitely put us in the hunt with two games against the 49ers and one at home to the Cardinals still to play. All 3 are winnable.

I haven't looked at any stats but Lockett seems to be playing at a much higher level this year. I think more is expected of him but its good to see.

Baldwin started the season hurt so he was able to establish himself as the main target.

I'll be honest I was surprised when he was offered the extension with a full year left on his Rookie deal. Had a great debut season, leg break ruined his second/third year but appears back to full speed now.

Not a bad set of results tonight

In Seahawks interests now that the Rams keep winning so that the Saints can't wrap up the 1 seed early. 2 of their last 3 games are against the Panthers so if they need to win those it could help us.

Think if we can win one of either the Vikings or Panthers games the Wildcard is achievable

Vikings game at home is probably more realistic for getting a win. The Panthers are unbeaten at home so far.

That being said the team are coming off a mini bye so hopefully they'll be well prepared and up for the game this weekend. Its a 6pm kickoff too which is nice!

If any new fans now ask me who they should support, my initial response is an East coast team. Staying up till 1am every Sunday night isn't a good way to start the week

HUGE WIN!!

Damn that was nerve wracking. But a hell of a gutsy win

Panthers have a good run defence with Kuechly.

Wilson pulled it out on those last two drives. Not many can do that as consistently as he does!

7-5 with not much to say about it to be honest. W was in the bag early but was very nice and to have a stress free 4th quarter.

Assuming we beat the Cards and 49ers that’s a minimum 9-7 season which not many were predicting coming into this season!

Tues morning booked off next week for the Vikings at home. Last regular season game against another direct playoff competitior.

DJ Fluker ruled out for a few weeks with a bad hamstring injury is a blow. He's been a big part of the OL's success this year. Hopefully he'll be back for the playoffs assuming we get there.

In better news Mychal Kendricks is eligble to play again after serving his 8 game suspension which relieves pressure a little with KJ Wrights knee injury still ongoing.

A win against the Vikings Monday night would all but guarantee a playoff place assuming further wins against the 49ers and Cardinals thereafter.
