I hate thursday night, especially the home games ill be selling those tickets.Not uncommon. Especially when we only have 1 MNF game.
Just luck of the draw. Now that they have the unbalanced schedule with the 17th game, a certain number of teams will have to play on Thursday twice. The good thing about the second one though is that we get the mini bye before we finish the season in LA.We have TWO thursday games what the ever living fuck?
I think it is close to impossible to predict how we will do next season because...
A) We don't know much of an impact, either direction, we will have from losing Pete as our HC.
B) We don't know if Macdonald will be a good coach or not.
It could be that Pete was holding up a weak team with good coaching and Macdonald is not ready to be an HC and we wind up 4-13. It's possible that Pete was holding the team back heavily and Macdonald is a coaching savant and we go 13-4.
Obviously somewhere in the middle is the likely outcome. But who the hell really knows?
Not impossible to make a prediction of course whether or not they work out is another matter. It's mostly a exercise for entertainment purposes any how as we can't know the future and even if it turns out right it's luck. At the end of last season I was not hopeful the Seahawks could match last years record since the run defense was so bad and the OL was a work in progress and needed more pieces, better pieces to improve.I think it is close to impossible to predict how we will do next season because...

Now I find myself getting hopeful almost against my will, since I was so sure this was going to be a tough season. Love the new coaching staff but this is the honeymoon stage so I try to keep that in mind. The off season free agency seemed hold some upside. The draft....well the first two picks seem awesome, guess I'll wait and see how the balance of the draft works but I have some doubts there. Looking at the schedule I could see a winning season (more wins then losses) happening. However hate to get my hopes up since there has been so many changes and logic would say some won't go as hoped. With the 49ers and Rams in the division it is going to be a uphill battle but I'll say this, I'm very excited for the season.
I think the closes comparison would be 1999 or 2010, more so 1999. 1999 the team wasn't bad they just didn't have a QB and still needed some pieces, the 1998 Seahawks were a borderline playoff team ( Helmet TD knocked them out of a playoff spot ). 1999 was Also Holmgren's first year as the HC so that matches up. . 2010 Was Petes first year and there was a lot of work to be done. Full staff change and a lot of work to be done on the roster. There isn't as much work needed to be done on this roster but there is still quite a bit. Oline is a mess and it's wishful thinking that this year it's fixed. Run Defense was trash and the backend ( safeties ), Linebackers are completely made up of backup players. The DT/DE room is pretty deep but we need some guys to take the next step and the new guys to really push everyone to the next level. Looking ahead to the 2025 Draft the Hawks need Safeties/Linebackers TIED ( HIGHEST NEED ), Oline and TE.Of course we can make a prediction. My point was that any prediction is even more of a complete guess this year than in year's past. The closest comparison was 2022 when we had no idea how the team would perform without Russ and the team exceeded most people's expectations.
I like what the team has done in the off season. Guard still seems to be a big question mark and I would like another experienced player at LB and/or Safety.
But I think that so much will depend on whether Macdonald can turn around the defense and whether Ryan Grubb can be an NFL OC. No way to know until the season starts. IMO, I think they were both risks worth taking but there is no question that the team could look foolish if Macdonald seems overmatched as a HC. But better that then take a retread and hope he's NOW going to turn it all around.
