You can lament that the Seahawks keep coming close this season, all five defeats within one possession and three by five points or less.
It’s exactly what Seahawks fans were doing 20 years ago, as well.
In Dennis Erickson’s final year, the Seahawks won five games by 10 or more points but lost six by eight points or less and three by three points or less, ultimately finishing 8-8.
That got Erickson the boot even though the Seahawks had a point differential of plus-62, ninth-best in the NFL.
