Seahawks Win However Miss the Playoffs

The Seahawks  beat the Arizona Cardinals 
Sunday afternoon  21-20 however the
Green Bay  Packers had to lose to the
Chicago Bears which didn't happen.
The season is now over for them.

The next preseason  will  begin in August 
so a lot will happen before that. Many 
will say is it time to replace Pete Carroll  
or at least bring in a new defensive  
coordinator. We will see how it goes
either way.
At the very  least the Seahawks  will need
to find players who can stop the run. The
Seahawks  were ranked # 30 against the
run giving up 134.1 yards per game. Next
to last in rushing touchdowns. Passing 
defense the Seahawks were #19 and
overall  #27.  Had the Seahawks were
able to  be around #19 against the run
no doubt they would be in the playoffs.
I could see them move up to upper half
against the pass next season. Can they
move up against the run?

What they will need to do is improve 
on the defensive line as well as linebacker.
Jordyn  Brooks was not healthy for most of
the season so him being healthy will help. 
Bobby Wagner  is  slowing  down so if he
is back next season he should  play less 
downs whether against the run or pass.
Questions will be about the offense as
well however we have time to dissect
as well.  The  Seahawks  were ranked 
# 20 on offense. Let you know where
they can improve there too. 

The Seahawks  beat  the Cardinals with 
 a 34-yard touchdown  by Tyler Lockett 
at 1:54  remaining  in the game. The
Seahawks  made a two-point conversion 
for the victory. If you looked at the stats
of the game only you would  have thought 
the Cardinals won. They had the ball longer,
ran, and passed the ball for more yardage.
Stats don't tell the whole story.

Have a wonderful  off-season. Remember 
the Seattle Kraken,  there is still  college 
basketball and the  Mariners start to play
in March. We can't  forget the National 
Championship  Monday night between 
Washington  and Michigan. Go Dawgs!
