The Seattle Seahawks are not good. They may not be as bad as their 5-10 record suggests, but this wasn’t a Super Bowl contender that was derailed by injury or a team that just has an unlucky record in close games. Okay, there is a little truth to both of those. Russell Wilson’s injury certainly didn’t help, and the Seahawks are 2-5 in one-score games. But Seattle was just 2-2 when Wilson went down, and this team has some fundamental flaws that we’ll get into in a second here.
Point being, this shouldn’t be a team that strikes fear in their opponents, but that doesn’t mean the Detroit Lions are in for an easy win in Seattle.
