I had 'em at 5 wins before the season started.
However, it was contingent upon them playing with just a backup QB, a strong running game, and a defense that wasn't quite there yet, but was going to show the makings of something great in the near future. It was supposed to look like 2011 with Geno being the new TJack.
Instead we got 2021 again, but somehow worse. Geno was doing the little things better than the last QB, AND being productive.
But Pete has been at the stage of needing to be carried by absolutely herculean QB play to win for a while now.
I know it may be hard for some to believe around here, but other teams win games all of the time with their QB playing, meh to bad. It's just a rare occurrence in Seattle because they've been flawed for so long.
Just looking at the W-L record is incredibly lazy results based thinking. Ignores all context and misses what is actually important, which is the process.
If the Seahawks had the same exact record as they do now. But the defense was playing great, and they were running the hell out of the football, but Geno was a dud like he was supposed to be, I'd be over the moon right now.
Watching players loaf around on defense is even more concerning the last 2 weeks.
