Seattle Seahawks Season Update

By Hank Mondale

The 08's season for the Seattle Seahawks was an utter disappointment finishing 4-12. The Seahawks caught the injury bug and no one was able to stay healthy, thus the bad record.

The 09' season for the Seahawks should be well improved -- the Seahawks might not be Super Bowl contenders but should compete in every game they are in.

Matt Hasselback has played ok but suffered a rib injury. It is yet to be determined if this will be a lingering injury that will hurt his entire 09' season. If the team expects to improve on their 4-12 season, Hasselback must start more then 7 games, as he did in 08'.

The NFC West isn't the strongest division the NFL has ever seen. The Arizona Cardinals haven't yet found themselves yet, the St. Louis Rams are one of the bottom feeders in the league, the San Francisco 49ers are a young team on the rise though.

A game against the Bears would surely be difficult to win without the team's premier quarterback, so they're hoping he'll be at their side when it comes down to game time. With Jay Cutler running the show for the Bears, the Seahawks defense will have some issues.

The Seahawks looked great in an easy week 1 victory against the visiting St. Louis Rams, blanking them by a score of 28-0. Let's keep in mind that the Rams were one of the worst teams in the league last season, so this doesn't prove much.

The Super Bowl days for the Seattle Seahawks may be gone but that doesn't mean they can't compete and give opponents trouble every game.

If the Seahawks can stay healthy for the majority of the season they are an easy 8 win team -- which is double the wins from last season. The Seahawks have their coveted "12th man" with the home crowd which makes it difficult for opponents to play them on their own turf.
