They've beat the Packers, Lions, Raiders, Cardinals and Cowboys.
Those are teams that aren't good.
They were supposed to have a bad season because of losing Sherman, Graham, and having no serious running game. How are they even in this at this point?
No apology needed.Yeah, they shouldn't have to apologize for the schedule that they've played, but they haven't really beaten anyone significant.

And a better Seahawk team next season.The Seahawks actually lost five pro bowl caliber players on defense (Chancellor and Avril to career-ending injuries, Sherman and Bennett because they became locker room cancers, and Earl Thomas to a broken leg this year). So yeah, even the most optimistic Hawk fans had no real idea how competitive the team might be this year.
But Carroll is a damn good coach and always has his teams gritty and highly motivated. And Wilson is a solid, dangerous, and often a clutch QB. So there was some hope there.
The Seahawks haven't beaten any truly good teams yet this season. On the other hand, they only lost by 2 and 5 points to the Rams, and by 8 I think to the Chargers. They've been competitive enough against truly good teams this year to have the chance to win those games late in the 4th quarter. They weren't quite good enough, which makes them one of the NFC playoff wannabes along with many other teams.

Yea I mean he didnt put up big hollow numbers but he was great when it matteredRussell Wilson is a phenomenal superstar who is the best young QB in football!
The question was how did they not fall off.They haven't lost a game by more than a TD and 4 of their 5 are to the Rams, Chargers, and Bears. That's 2 to a one loss team, 1 to a 2 loss team, and the last to the 1st place team in the north.

We didn't used to talk about Seattle being competitive as moral victories. They've fallen off. They'll be .500, SF and AZ will get them there. And I think the better team won tonight. But I think this was two great QBs on teams that aren't of a championship level. And your teams have been on that higher level for a long time.
If this is bottoming out, it's a real testament to the strength of the organization as a whole. Cuz this isn't that bad. But it isn't what it was.
Playoffs could happen still. That would be impressive.
