The Seattle Seahawks lost to the LA Chargers on Sunday, dropping their record to 4-4. The .500 position at the midway point is not that bad and not unfamiliar territory for a team that has been there and rebounded to make the playoffs several times in the last six years, but it’s fair to say that the Seahawks are not quite competing for the Super Bowl at this moment.
The New Orleans Saints and LA Rams are clearly better teams in the NFC. The Carolina Panthers and several other teams in the conference also present a much more appealing case.
