SEA MORE COMMENTS:

- I didn't explain the "win meaningful games" part very well, although I have hammered this nail a lot in the last few years, so those of you who have read every Joe already know it: The Seahawks have just been a really bad playoff team since 2015. Of those teams that consistently make the playoffs, I'm not sure any of them except maybe the Steelers(?) have been as bad in January. I've always said that the key to winning more playoff games is to win more regular season games though. The Seahawks are a really bad ROAD playoff team, which is going to be true of almost any franchise. The problem is that the Seahawks have stopped competing for the number one seed. One reason they've not been competing for that is that they aren't as consistently good as the 49ers and Rams. And one reason for that is that the Seahawks don't beat good teams in November and December.

It's time for the Seahawks to start beating good teams in the second half of the year, so they can win the division, so they can get a higher seed, so they can avoid the road in the playoffs, so they can win playoff games!

The Hawks D will be better this year because it could hardly get any worse!

Part of the problem the last few years was the players but part was the scheme. It was like, " God forbid the defense should try to confuse the opponents offense".

I like the new staffs schemes on both sides of the ball. It may take a while for this all to jell but 500 ball is a good bet for 24.

And I will say again, like I do to my sons when they ask me who's going to the SB..tell me who gets injured and for how long and I'll give you my best guess.
