Injuries definitely caught up with them down the stretch. It's a good team at full health but not a deep team.
My bold prediction - they lose at Philly in similar fashion to losing at Dallas last year.
Game they could have won but Pete plays too conservative early and doesn't take the leash off Russ until it's too late.
Was a fun year but ultimately meaningless. -
They'll beat Philly but then lose badly to SFdnc said:Injuries definitely caught up with them down the stretch. It's a good team at full health but not a deep team.

If we put all the names of players injured during Ivan’s watch on black granite the thing would look like the Vietnam Memorial.Gladstone said:Running back Chris Carson (hip), running back Rashaad Penny (ACL), running back C.J. Prosise (arm), tight end Will Dissly (Achilles), tight end Ed Dickson (knee), left tackle Duane Brown (knee/biceps), center Justin Britt (ACL), center Joey Hunt (fibula), guard Mike Iupati (neck), offensive lineman Germain Ifedi (knee), interior lineman Ethan Pocic (core), offensive tackle Jamarco Jones (shoulder), defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (core), linebacker Mychal Kendricks (hamstring), cornerback Shaquill Griffin (hamstring), defensive back Quandre Diggs (ankle), safety Tedric Thompson (labrum)

bad clock management at the end no doubt. ridiculous non review on the missed PI on 2nd down.
In the end though I feel a lot better about where the team is at then how I felt before the game started. 5 seed was always going to be better for them than the 3 seed and the offense getting going in the second half actually is some momentum to take to Philly. A run is not likely but they are getting healthier and will be dangerous if they can avoid playing New Orleans (guaranteed loss). -
they aren't losing to Philly. that Dallas team was a lot better than this Philly team and the Seahawks own the Eagles in general and especially at Lincoln Financial. 20-17 win. Then a close game vs the 49ers that can go either way but likely against them since they'll be on the road.dnc said:Injuries definitely caught up with them down the stretch.

I know that is what the “metrics” say, but a team with proven winners like Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll always have a chance. They also commonly play close games, sometimes when the games should not be very close.RaceBannon said:New Orleans will have home field
Not going to matter
Analytics guys say Seattle is a .500 team masquerading as a contender
It’s why metrics aren’t the end all, be all. Now when the Seahawks get bounced in the playoffs, guys like Chest will say I told you so, but whatever. They are a pretty good team that has been decimated by injuries late in the year. -
All of this is true. Seattle’s the weird team that is simultaneously overrated by its record and underrated by the metrics. They play down to opponents too often but their entire philosophy is built around winning in the fourth quarter. And when Pete let’s Russ be Russ, they usually do.RoadDawg55 said:

The problem is you actually can lose in the first half against really good teams and Pete has to adjust and be more aggressive earlier. If he does, they can play with anyone.
Having the the top 3 RBs out might actually help with that. -
Worse than this?DerekJohnson said:That fourth quarter was the best and worst of Pete Carroll all wrapped up into one agonizing loss
