RIP Seahawks season.

I kind of expected this to be honest. They've been way too hit or miss in the late season.

Those back to back superbowls, the team was really on their game. I remember constantly being amazed with their comebacks. Multiple times I was just like "Well, they're done", and suddenly they're winning. Though they did have a bad habit of NEEDING comebacks, but they certainly did them successfully.

They were winning game after game early in this season, but lately they've been pretty sloppy, in the later season when they're supposed to be getting "good".

If the Seahawks stopped getting damn penalties on good throws, they probably would have won this game.

Held them to 3 at the half, and kept the deficit within one possession. That's a small victory in my book.

I think we are seeing a defense to be reckoned with in the coming years especially when Watt gets back. One like the top Ravens or Steeler Ds or that 2002 Buc bunch.

Now if Osweiler can get things going. Your defense won't benefit without at least some offense, which they better count on Osweiler's noodle arm…

Is that the guy that got injured? He seems to have been replaced by a pretty big bad ass to be honest.

They seemed to start well, which had people excited because they were like "Damn, and they usually do better later in the season!".

And then the later season happened and they lost to the BUCCANEERS.

Maybe SB inexperienced Atlanta or rookie led Dallas? Tall order there.

Pittsburgh played them tough earlier this season. And that was without Big Ben. Of course, we have to beat KC first, and that won't be easy. I'd give the Chiefs a decent shot too, if it comes to that.

In the meantime, I'd have had the score pegged for that game if the Texans hadn't scored that last FG.
