I’ve heard a lot of cliches this week as we get ready to pull up the curtain on Seahawks vs Cardinals 2015: version 1. A lot of folks want to label this match up as “must win,” “do or die” or “make or break.” Literally, none of those are true. Even if Seattle beats Arizona Sunday night at CenturyLink field, they’ll still be right in the thick of a jammed-up NFC playoff race.
However, the outcome of this game will dramatically shape the road that lies ahead for these Seahawks. Will they control their own destiny, with winning the division still a realistic goal?
