On an 8 game winning streak. You heard it here first.

Losing in the NFC Championship game though.

Next year. Superbowl or bust.

I havnt quite figured that one out yet (although i'm leaning towards Green Bay), I just dont think we're quite Superbowl caliber yet. But, we're getting close.

_________________

If we are NFC championship caliber, than we may as well get into the Super Bowl...

The funny thing is, we are probably more likely to win the Superbowl than we are to win the next six straight NFL games. Seems strange that you would oversell this team winning out on the road and at home while underselling them as a Superbowl contender. The Seahawks probably won't end the season 12-4, but as things stand today they definitely look like Superbowl contenders.

The Seahawks are #3 in DVOA and have a team built for the postseason (running offense, great defense). Wilson has been very good in his last 5 games. I see no reason to not think Superbowl caliber. We are 6-4 and could be better if not for losing a lot of close games against a tough schedule. Of the 12 teams that are projected to make the playoffs, Seattle's strength of schedule ranks 4th toughest.

And if you are right, the Seahawks would be 12-4 and riding a huge winning streak entering the playoffs. 12-4 probably gets Seattle a bye, since they'd have the tiebreaker over the Bears/Packers in that scenario and would likely win the division unless SF goes perfect (Seahawks aside) in their last 6 to counter. That would give them homefield advantage, with the only possible road game being at the very over-rated, finesse Atlanta Falcons, who are a lot like the 2005 Seahawks minus an MVP running back.

Edit: just noticed that was post 5001...

That's my thinking, sort of.

If this team finishes on an 8-game winning streak, I don't see how we lose in the NFC Championship game. We'd have some serious momentum going and home field advantage for a good part of the playoffs. There's not a team in the NFC that scares me if the game is in Seattle.

Thanks. Now we'll lose to the Dolphins.

Ok JSeahawks, if we go 8-0 (which I highly doubt) the next pitcher of Mac N Jacks is on me.

atlanta is one of the least teams that scare me... only teams that scare me are GB and SF... chicago a little ( on the Road ) but we can definately beat either one of the those teams at home... atlanta in their dome doesn't scare me, saints have no D and beat them...

Yes Superbowl or bust! They need to spend the whole next week in Miami party-hardy to get used to the time zone difference, then come out strong against the Dolphins!

Pffft, after we beat the Vikings, I said we were winning out. You're second!

I am not sure about the Miami win now as they are in desperation mode and will be rested after yesterdays game. Detroit was the same, they win against us and then lose to the Vikings. So I feel sub par teams somehow find a way to beat us on the road. Maybe this team is currently build to only play against the really good teams. The key is our offense gets hot towards the later part of the game, if the defense can score points in the earlier part of the game, we win. If we keep it close, on the road it is difficult to win for this team.

I dunno, I have a bad feeling about the Bears game. I like us for a 4 game win streak to end the season, though.

I always have a bad feeling about us playing the Bears. But we have done fairly well there in recent games.

I don't know about ending the regular season on a streak, but I have had a strong feeling for two or three weeks now that the Seahawks will win the Super Bowl.

Yep.

How are so many of you writing off the Niners as a sure win? I understand having confidence in your team but I believe the Niners match-up really well against the Seahawks and would give them fits at either field.

No way, Seahawks fans actually think their team can beat the precious over-rated 49ers? Oh the horror

Lol not that, but it's as if some on here think the Niners don't even stand a chance.

Personally, I think the Niners win in Seattle (duh for a Niner fan) but I am quite concerned should they have to play in the playoffs. I think Seattle has the same youthful energy that the Niners had last year that makes them dangerous anytime. The Niners seem off this year... very flat at times!

I think we all deep down realize that is one hell of a tough game, but Denial works better
A lot of ppl, including myself, see the Niners/Hawks series as a split type thing, mainly because we don't lose at home often, and seem to find new ways to lose on the road. And as much as it's tough to admit, the Niners are pretty damn good.

I actually saw a few posts on here from people that are worried about the 9ers game, even though it is here at home. IMO no game is a for sure win. What is for sure is that this season has been better than alot of us expected!

Like one said a few posts above, you are on a Seahawks forum, and there will be blue Kool-Aid being passed around every once in a blue moon

Either way may the best team win. And as much as I hate the 9ers I am also biased and will root for them if they do make it past us. NFC West love!

Eh, I think it's a combination of knowing that our offense is improving as the season continues paired with the knowledge that our last game against the 49ers was very close. Add to that the fact that it's a home game where our team has been outstanding this season, and I think it's reasonable to be optimistic about the Hawks' chances in that one.

Im thinking nfc championship as well with the packers getting their revenge in that game.

At home Hawks can beat 49ers.

_________________

I don't get that feel at all. Most if not all respect the 49ers, but the last 3 games that have been played have been extremely close. I beleive both teams are equally matched and I beleive this game will feel like last Christmas eve, which had the intensity of a playoff game.

Since this is at Seattle I think Seattle has the slight edge. It should be a fun one, but of course most Seahawks fans will hope to win that game.

The interesting thing is this game comes after SF has to travel to New England and quite possibly their 3-4 loss, this Seattle vs SF game could be the deciding game for the division title and a playoff home game.

I'm of the opinion that Seattle will go 6-0 to close out the year, getting impressive wins over the Bears and the 49ers and taking the #2 seed in the playoffs. Hey if I'm going to dream, might as well dream big.

Eh, you guys benefited from all the vanilla scheming on both sides of the ball that every NFL team used last year because of the lockout. You benefited more than most, that is. A number of us around here predicted a drop-off in 49ers production for various reasons, that being a big one.

Can't beat the Rams at home, hard to think they are nearly as good as the so called "experts" think

To be fair, they had a new coach coming in and implementing a whole new playbook in that short offseason is no small task. What SF did last year was a hell of an accomplishment.

It'll depend on if the 49'ers have the division wrapped up by then.

If they do? Then that would mean the Hawks are fighting for their playoff lives, therefore have the edge in being the more desperate team......which should result in a victory.

If BOTH teams are vying for the division or more favorable seed? Then all bets are off.........and this game will be a blood bath.

Strike that.>>I suppose we could do what Ninners been doing lately and end in a TIE. Not.

That's usually how these things wind up going.

I'm terrified that you, of all people, are predicting this. Admittedly, I feel very good about this, too. First rookie QB to ever make/win a Super Bowl; and no, Kurt Warner does not count. He was far from a rookie with the Rams.

You forgot about one of the biggest travesties in Seahawk history? Wish I could forget about that game too.

Super Bowl XL... Ben Roethlisberger... First rookie QB to win a Super Bowl.

Funny, my official prediction in the archives have us going 5-1 to close out the season. Losing only to da Bears.

So, we finish 12 & 4......
Who has a better record than us in the conference ??
Atlanta ??
....we already beat Green Bay (currently 3 losses)
....we beat Chicago (would have 3 losses - counting us)
1 more loss for both those teams puts them @ 12 & 4 ~ ~ with us having the head-to-head tie breaker !!??
I don't see us losing the NFC Championship AT HOME !!??
So.....
Atlanta wins NFC berth in Super Blow ?????
BTW....
Atlanta's (one loss) schedule.....
Cards - @ Bucs - Saints - @ Panthers - Giants - @ Lions - Bucs again.......

Start rooting against the Falcons boys !!

I would take the NFC's best to win the Super Bowl over any AFC team this year. Including Seattle! AfC looks weak this year.

I see the loss to the ninners as a learning opportunity for our coaching staff. The hawks have been doing a much better job with in game adjustments (especially Cable) and Bevell's playcalling is so much improved now that he's catering to his QB's strenghths. We are progressing in all phases of the game. Hopefully we'll be in sync and riding a tsunami of confidence going into the playoffs. I see it rising in the horizon already.

Superbowl win over Broncos only because of my dislike for anything Broncos and their fans.
