So CBS says the Hawks are one of the most complete 10 teams in the NFL but then say they are one of 7 teams that could fall out of the playoffs. How about having it both ways. Guess both can be true.

Seattle Seahawks

"The Seahawks did a really nice job this offseason of shoring up a roster than helped them push for the postseason last year, inking Geno Smith to a contract and scooping up Devon Witherspoon and Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round of the draft. But to make another playoff run, they need Geno to be the guy again after an out-of-nowhere Pro Bowl season that saw him morph into a top-10 quarterback in the NFL. Losing Rashaad Penny is a bigger blow than people realize. Even if adding Zach Charbonnet in the second round is a nice boost, this rush attack would be in trouble if Kenneth Walker missed time again. The passing game has weapons for days, but it will require Geno to play at a high level again or could stagnate. The struggles down the stretch for the Seahawks to close the season in 2022 have to be considered somewhat of a concern. The pass rush for Seattle remains a concern as well, although Jamal Adams coming back from injury could help that. Seattle was below .500 in one-score games last year so might be due for some positive regression there. Seattle draws the 12th-hardest schedule in the NFL in 2023 which features both the AFC North and the NFC East, two potentially deep divisions to match up against."

So you positive ones can take the top ten article and you negative nellies can take this one.
