Seattle Seahawks Still Have the Passion that Made them Great Before

Are the Seahawks close to contending or are they still hanging on by the thread from their slow decline of last year? Thursday's Seahawks game is a must win game and I believe they will win but the scary thing is, it's also a pretty big game for Green Bay. 

When the Seahawks picked Rashaad Penny last year in the first round, many Hawks fans were pessimistic. Yes, there were other areas where we needed more help but having a running back that is explosive can be very important. 

If anything, the manner that the Seahawks have lost these close games might save Pete Carroll's job. If we draft well in the off-season, our future still might be bright. 

The Rams window might be only two years long. I doubt they can keep all those great players long term. Seattle needs to be ready when there is a opening. 

For those people predicting this team would win 5-6 games all year, you forget to take into account that Russell Wilson rarely loses a game by more than 9 points. This is an incredible stat that only happens one time a year if that. 

It feels good to not be a 2-7 team however. This isn't baseball or basketball where rebuilds take 3-5 years. 

The 12th Man is special. We are on the rise again. The NFC is so tight that it's easy to go from eighth to third in the conference easily. 

There should be no panic from the Seahawks fans despite the unrest.
