Path to winning the NFC West

[dscher]

This take is extremely bad. The Seahawks got 0 games from Chancellor last season and they still made the playoffs. Earl Thomas played 4 games and they were in the top half of the league as a defense.

People say this every year about the Seahawks and then they grind out 10 wins.

Take away Mr Wilson and they are bottom of the barrel. Imo

We're not winning the division this year

The Seahawks had nearly unprecedented draft success early in this current regime's run.

Each draft they walked away with 4 good starters and likely 3-4 hall of famers in that group.

Getting a hall of fame QB in round 3 and a hall of fame corner in round 5. Unprecedented. And not something they are going to duplicate again.

Since then 1st round picks have mostly been blah and horrible trades of high picks.

I disliked Wilson for the same reasons people on here dislike Murray, but IMO he might be the MVP every year. His receiving corps and OL are consistently nearly the worst in the league, but he continues to play at a Pro Bowl level.

Would I use their model? No. Roster balance is the smart approach, and the Seahawks might have another Super Bowl victory if they hadn't paid so much for that defense.

Lol. Okay NOW he’s said it.

 

[football karma]

the path involves LA and Seattle having Arizona-like QB and/or line health luck

AND

the Cardinals having competent (not outstanding, but competent) QB play

AND

defense fulfills top 10 potential




that was kinda the 2012 Seattle formula

great defense, Russell Wilson as a rookie was okay early, but better as the season went on. Running game plus defense plus just enough QB plays won them 11 games

of course, they did win 7 games the season prior.......

There are 2 things that keep the Cards winning the division IMHO the "O" line and depth across both offense and defense
