Seattle Seahawks Season Preview

The Seahawks were the surprise winners of the NFC West a year ago, and even bigger surprise winners over the Saints during Wild Card weekend. It will be tough to replicate that success in 2011 with all four teams in the division relatively even. Seattle however is projected to be 4th in the division at 6-10.

AccuScore forecasts Seattle to have a 14 percent chance at claiming a return trip to the playoffs. Charlie Whitehurst threw fewer than 100 passes last year, but now Tavaris Jackson appears to be the full-time starter. Neither is a real long-term solution at quarterback. The team drafted offensive guards with its first two draft picks, and then spent six more picks on defensive players. It’s clear what the weaknesses of Pete Carroll’s team were last year.

Seattle gave up the sixth most yards in the NFL a year ago including 250 passing yards per game. That defense will have to be much better for the Seahawks to win the division again as their competitors should be better. A 7-9 record probably doesn’t cut it this year. A .500 record is probably the floor required for a ticket to the postseason.

Projected Record: 6 – 10
Projected Division Finish: 4th
Probability of Winning Division: 13%
Probability of Making Playoffs: 14%
