Steelers and Cards will be a challenge. Vikes are overrated and the Rams have fallen off after being strong earlier this season. I believe that 3 of those games (not the Rams game) are on the road which is tough. All 5 of Seattle's losses were close games where they blew 4th quarter leads. I still think they are a very tough team who is just not closing the deal in close games like they did in the past.

With all that being said, this team is VERY lucky about the errant call vs. Detroit and even with Tony Romo's injury. If they lost either of those games (the Detroit game would have been a sure-bet loss for Seattle) then their season would be all but over now.

I moved away from the Seattle area back in June. How has the atmosphere been with the fanbase? I remember during the SB-winning season it was pretty rabid, then less last year. My friends have told me that a lot of people have tuned out of the Seahawks this season and that blue Fridays aren't what they used to be.

That's normal. These "fans" don't even know the rules of NFL.

I was amused at how many people I saw shopping at Fred Meyer wearing 12 jerseys during one of the Seahawks' games a few weeks ago.

All of the "band wagoners" usually wear the #12 jersey, and the rave has been slowly dying. You still see plenty of blue and green on Friday, it's just not everywhere like last year. It was awesome to see the whole city celebrate when we won SB48 and see just a sea of blue all over DT. It was a magical moment.

And I honestly don't care if people hop on or off the train, I just find it amusing how much the "real fans" try and bash the other group. I'll just sit here enjoy my football.

I knew they were cooked as soon as they gave Russell Wilson $22 million a year. Ironically he was better player when they were paying him only $750,000/yr to play football for a living. Haha.

Thats the NFL for you though. In one year you can go from being the top dog to a sub 500 team, or you can go from being the laughing stock of the league to a hot start like the Jets have.

We'll need next 2 wins to stay at around one-half.

We're just a game out of the wild card right now. It's all still available and open to Seattle's Seahawks right now, doubters. Shouldn't it have been kind of obvious looking at how tough our first 8 games of the 2015 schedule was? 5-5 is open season, true Seahawks fans.

A tough schedule? You're 0-5 against teams over .500

You've beat

A bad sF team twice
A romo less Dallas
Detroit (shouldve been a loss)
And the Bears without Cutler.

I'm just saying. You haven't beaten any tough teams. You've probably had one of the easiest schedules in the NFL

not true. Seahawks had the 4th toughest schedule of all NFL teams.

Seahawks will face NFL's fourth-toughest schedule in 2015

Green Bay
Cincinnati
Carolina
Arizona
St. Louis

The only bad team of these is the loss in St. Louis. Every other loss is against a great team.
