I for one can hold my head high today as a Seattle Seahawks fan. Sure, they fell well short of their and our expectations this year. 7-10 is not a record any one of us would have predicted heading into this season coming off a 12-4 division-winning season. We can spend countless hours (and we do) discussing the whys and hows of it all but what I want to celebrate today is a team that clearly has pride and didn't ever once quit on each other or their coach.
The Lions is one thing. But beating a sound divisional opponent who gave it their all against us because a win meant they would secure the division title, and yet we still beat them? That's solid. That's something to build off of. I'm not suggesting keeping the band together exactly. Yes, there will still be changes in the offseason but that's nothing new.
I do believe we still have the talent and foundation - with the appropriate offseason moves - to be right back in the thick of things next year.
It was a challenging year for us all. Players, coaches, fans... But there's always next year and I have hope for a better season in 2022.
