Seattle Seahawks will not make the playoffs
You read it here first
Are you also a writer for the National Inquirer? Just what is going to stop Seattle from making the playoffs?
In selecting the next SuperBowl champion it is tempting to go with the last winner. Especially when they win convincingly
But in the last two decades, many more SB winners did not make the playoffs than repeated
Factors that work against Seattle
- They are not as hungry as last year
- They have a target on their back as defending champs
- They were relatively injury free last year
- They play in the tougest division in football
I see complacency already setting in with Seattle. They are accepting the dynasty talk without realizing you have to work for it. SF, St Louis and Arizona all have the tools to knock them off. I'm looking at 9-7 and outside looking in on the playoffs
Seahawks are 3-3 right now and if the season ended today they would not make the playoffs
Worse for them, With Philly/Dallas with only one loss and GB/Detroit with two losses, a wildcard will not be easy. Unless they win the division, doesn't look good for the playoffs
