This is where your losing everybody, hence the delusional comment. Mathematically theres a chance, but realistically theres no chance. Seattle is just not a good football team. From the ownership, to the coaching staff, to the players,,,,,,the team is broken.
We still play the Cards twice and the Rams once... How Many times have u seen a team start off fast and then fall apart at the end for what ever reason an injusry or maybe the NFL figures them out...
So many things can happen...

The only way I see the Cards and Rams falling apart to the point where the Seahawks can contend for the west...is major injuries. Which if anything would just disguise the truth of the team until it hits playoffs and gets exposed a non-contender again. In fact didn't that just happen last year? the team had like 2-3 close game wins against teams with back up QBs and then got exposed in the playoffs?
If we're focusing JUST on this season. RW and Carson are on IR, the soonest they are back is what 2 more games? that's the SOONEST and that's assuming they come back firing on all cylinders (which is also not likely). There is a good chance Hawks will lose at least 1 if not 2 more games in that span. So a record of 3-5 or more likely 2-6? The team would then need to win out the remainder of the season for any hope of playoffs.
Also being realistic, with every loss the locker room implodes more and more and more. You end up having a great chance of losing the remainder of your games than winning out. In previous years you had talent that went to a SB and won together, they could look around and trust each other even in a funk and say "we're better than this" and make their adjustments to get back and win. This roster however contains what...2 players left from the SBs, the remainder have barely been in the playoffs. I don't think that come together and win out moment is there for them.
Yes, the season is not over, yes it is statistically possible this team could somehow finish the season 13-4, but more realistically season is going to end up being possibly 7-11. Because if this team ends up 2-6 before RW gets back on the field, you may find other players suddenly getting pulled off to heal up the injuries they were playing through making the team even worse.
