Seattle Seahawks
Seattle’s chance at winning the NFC West ended in Week 17 on the one-inch line. But don’t let that defeat or the poor clock management deflate this Seahawks’ season. (I mean, Marshawn Lynch played yesterday. For Seattle!) They are still (always) a threat in the playoffs with Russell Wilson under center and Pete Carroll on the sideline ferociously chewing gum.
2020 Resolution: Make a symbolical 13th Man and put him on defense. It’s one of the oddest things, because the Seahawks’ defense always seemed like a force, but 2019 was not the case in that regard. They lost some eye-opening games, and even some of the wins had opposing team’s atypical numbers. Sure, there were injuries, and things happen. Quandre Diggs not being in the lineup hurt and was definitely a noticeable hole. But the NFC West is only getting stronger, and it’ll take the most vigorous defensive efforts to control it, and win it.
