    Competing SFs running approach to what Carrol is doing is insanely laughable.

    Also, they weren’t inches away from a first round bye. They were a full game against Arizona away from it.

    Yeah that's a pretty inexcusable take from Arthur. Seattle still doesn't have a bye if they beat SF. They also don't have a bye if they beat Arizona.

    They were an Arizona (or LA) win AND a few inches against SF away from a first round bye.

    Or more accurately, two wins away. Which is a pretty big number in a 16 game league.

    The LOB Seahawks have their unique place in history. But there’s no reason why the current Seahawks can’t get back to elite status with some tweaks to personnel (particularly on defense) and better health. The fact that Seattle has remained competitive in the the post-Legion of Boom era shows what the team is capable of. Since their last Super Bowl run in the 2014 season, the Seahawks have made the playoffs in four of five years. Just one of those four postseason trips ended in the Wild Card.

    There's plenty of reason they can't get back to elite status. You aren't just "some tweaks to personnel" away from a bottom third defense to elite status.

    And yes they Hawks have made the playoffs four of five years. That's what happens when you have an elite QB.

    They have failed to make it past the divisional round in each of those years. That's what happens when you have a coach who thinks he still has an elite defense.

    Yep. Rodgers makes the playoffs almost every year and its been a decade since they won it

    It annoys me when Hawk honks say Seattle is second only to the Pats as a dynasty. The distance between 1 and 2 is vast

    I do give Allen a lot of credit. Since he bought the team they have fought their way to relevance. The Holmgren plan to lose the 2005 Super Bowl. The Carroll plan to go 1-1 in the Super Bowl. For this franchise it is historic. For the league it is middling. A 1-2 record in the Super Bowl 54 years in

    2nd tier I would say behind the big boys like the Pats, Steelers Niners et al

    Overall just a couple plays from being in the Super Bowl. Ball bounces a little different here and there, maybe a couple more touchdowns here instead of a few sacks. As close as you can get without being super bowl champs three years in a row.

    Seattle is second to the Pats in the PC era in the same way that UW is second to UW in the Pac (insert number here) era.

    In both cases there is first place and there is everyone else.

    Is Ivan Lewis still the strength coordinator? Will factor in how much I care in this
