The NFL schedule is more than dates and kickoff times. It’s mileage, money grabs for primetime, playoff previews, and opportunities hiding in plain sight.
I think you could be right for all practical reasons, but with three games left, it might be mathematically possible to lose the #1 seed if we lose all three games at the end of the season.
A lot depends on the injury situation, both ours and theirs and the Cinderella equation. ( like the Pats last year ) Teams that come out of nowhere and become very competitive.On our schedule I wouldn't look past the Chargers and Wa..
wk6 loss away vs Broncos very short week with travel could cost us, but we could win it still
wk7 win at home vs Chiefs
wk8 win at home vs Bears very small potential for upset loss
wk9 win at home vs Cards
wk10 win away vs Raiders
wk11 BYE
wk12 win away vs 49ers
wk13 win at home vs Cowboys
wk14 win at home vs Giants
wk15 win away vs Eagles short week so slight potential for upset loss
wk16 win at home vs Rams
wk17 win away vs Panthers
wk18 loss away vs Rams, but we could win
Final record 15 wins 2 losses but I don’t rule out a 17 win regular season. The key will be beating the Broncos on Thursday night. A short week and travel on the road!
Since you want the easier games on the road and the harder games at home, the Hawks are well-positioned for a fast start. I can see 5-0 or 4-1 in the first five games and 4-1 in the next five. They could easily be 9-1 going into the bye. The back end is tougher, but 5-2 is not out of the question. So, yes, this could be a 14-3 or 13-4 team, and either puts the #1 seed in play. The floor is 11-6, but I don’t see that happening as long as the defense stays healthy.
I think it’s a good thing to get the Rams at the end of the season. I think it will take a few weeks to get the kinks out of the new Fleury offense. We should be firing on all cylinders by week 16. Last year I dreaded getting SFO in week one for the same reason with the brand new Kubiak offense. We only scored 13 points.

As always, injury luck will determine if these are big games or duds. By week 16, good teams are either in a playoff run, or hoping that they heal up for next year. Both teams were near full strength in late 2025.
I hope Fleury hits the ground running in week 1, but it could be less than optimal, especially if Darnold and the starters don’t play much in the pre-season.
Does Fleury adapt to us or the Team to him? Irregardless, we are under a whole new Vision. I wasn't impressed with Kubiak much last year. I felt we were slow in developing and slower at adapting on Game Day. John Benton will have His Boys ready to kick ass on Day1. He'll have our Support Group believing they could field an entire O-Line on their own. 1A and 1B...
I expect that Darnold, JSN, Kupp, and Shaheed will be on the same page on week one. I’m not sure that the running game will be in tune.
That week 1 game against the Niners last year was weird. We expected Kubiak to be the zone running guy, but they ran a bunch of duo and power. It wasn’t pretty. I’m not sure if Kubiak was trying to trick the Niners, or if he didn’t think that the zone scheme was working yet. They ran it well in preseason, so I’m thinking the former. The game was still winnable at the end though!
Yeah, cute didn't really work last year, just like the QB pitch around the end by Milroe to K-9 and the Milroe up the gut play. Hope we can utilize Milroe as an RB this year though, with better schemes.
Milroe has to beat out Lock for QB2. I don’t see them keeping 3 QBs as active. I sure hope he does eclipse Lock this year. That will portend well for him, and we could save cap space in 27 by releasing Lock to free agency.
“Do you see the #1 seed in play again for the Seahawks?”
It’s theirs to lose.
We wrap that up week 16 with a Christmas win vs the Rams
Hopefully it’s already done by then.

Week 9 game at home against the Cards, SSJ shows a 10AM game?
That’s SW Alaska time
Nanuck's 'Gloo it is, then.

Harbaugh will have the Giants playing Ball. Good that we play them here. Their young QB and RB are giving life to the Team. He'll see that improves.
At least no Dexter Lawrence. But yes, I think we should go undefeated at Lumen.
That's a tough schedule.

This helps the hawks! Stafford will either be banged up or out by late December.

I like it Danno. 💪
Vegas currently has the Seahawks as a 10.5 win team.
I'll take the over.
I can’t see how they lose 11 games
It won't be the grand pay-out as last year, but hey, it does spice up attention.
Agreed.

I don’t think it will be near as difficult for the players going from Grubb. Kubiak to Fleury should be more seamless. I hope!

Maybe he felt Shannihan would expect that and tried to get cute.
Yeah, cute didn't really work last year, just like the QB pitch around the end by Milroe to K-9 and the Milroe up the gut play. Hope we can utilize Milroe as an RB this year though, with better schemes.
