An optimistic view of the Seahawks’ Week 1 debacle
Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty ImagesI’ve always been an optimist when it comes to my favorite team(s), but the Seattle Seahawks sure put that optimism to the test sometimes, with the 30-13 drubbing by the Los Angeles Rams being one of the hardest in recent memory to find a silver lining in.
Silver linings do exist though, even when your team lays a poop egg, and I’m here to shine a light upon some of them . . .
Silver Lining No. 1: It’s just one game - and the first game at that.
In a 17-game season, each game counts for 5.88% of a team’s final record. That’s not a lot. And while it’s easy to overreact to any single result, either good or bad, it’s still only 1/17th of the season.
