Seahawks Face Cowboys Saturday

It looked to be the lost season, the Seattle Seahawks, after losing Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Michael Bennett, and Cliff Avril lost every pre-season game and two of the first regular season games. 

The team came back and won 10 of the next 14 games and is playoff bound.  The Seahawks will face the Dallas Cowboys tomorrow at 5:15 PST tomorrow (Saturday January 5th).

Seahawk Miracle--One Win From Playoffs

I won't say "virtually assured" because anything can happen, but after losing Earl Thomas to injury and without Cam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, Michael Bennett, and Cliff Avril, the Seahawks need just one more victory to get into the playoffs.  

This is really a surprise for Seahawk fans as this was to be a rebuilding year.  Chancellor, and Avril were also lost to injury and Sherman and Bennett were cut. The plan was to rebuild the great defense that had gotten the team to two Super Bowls.  The Seahawks failed to make the playoffs last season.

This could give hope to the Mariners for 2019, who are also beginning a rebuilding process.

Season Over For Seahawks

Seattle's season ended last night with a 36-20 defeat on the road to the Atlanta Falcons.  In a season where the balls didn't seem to bounce our way,  the 'Hawks won enough games to win it's division but never really seemed destined for this year's Super Bowl.  Injuries and player dissension seemed to hamper the season.  A high ankle sprain hampered Russell Wilson early in the year.  Earl Thomas was lost to a broken leg in the late season.  Richard Sherman seemed unmanageable.
The Seahawks started out with a bang in yesterday's game, scoring on the games first drive.  The momentum shifted when an 80 long punt return by Devin Hester was wiped out by a penalty.  This resulted in an eventual safety.  This put the Hawks in an insurmountable deficit on the road against the Falcon's.  The Falcon's have the league's most explosive offense.
Just like last year the Seahawks, the Hawks are out on the second round,  We'll hope for better results next season.

Seahawks Get Big Playoff Win

Will the Seahawks go all the way? They took the first step last with a convincing 26-6 victory over the Detroit Lions.  Thomas Rawls, who had been rather unimpressive since coming back from injury up to the point set a team playoff game record with 161 yards.  Paul Richardson made a one handed touchdown grab on 4th down and Doug Baldwin made an impressive catch to get the team in scoring position in the 4th quarter. 
The team will travel to Atlanta, where they face an even tougher task.  They play the Falcons next Saturday.
