We’re less than 100 days from the start of the Seattle Seahawks’ 50th season. When we asked Field Gulls readers to call their shot on the win-loss record, we didn’t include any polling, but we had a lot of comments with predictions of another double-digit win season… except with a playoff berth.
That’s a lot of optimism! There’s a new offensive coaching staff, many new faces on offense, a new starting quarterback who just came off a 14-3 season, and a defense that has the potential to finally be back among the best in the NFL next season. This isn’t to exclude the widely praised draft class, which should have immediate contributors like Grey Zabel, Nick Emmanwori, Elijah Arroyo, and Jalen Milroe.
Success is relative. The goal is to win the Super Bowl but not every team has a realistic shot. Seattle hasn’t as much as won a playoff game since 2019, when the ‘Hawks scraped past a Philadelphia Eagles team that was quarterbacked by Josh McCown for most of the afternoon. The Seahawks have also not won the NFC West since 2020, which was the pandemic year and thus fans couldn’t even enjoy the successes at Lumen Field.
Or perhaps you’re not as bothered about making the playoffs in 2025 as long as the draft class looks strong, the younger players continue to develop, and there are signs of a cohesive plan to be a real contender from 2026 onward.
What do you consider a successful Seahawks 2025 season? Are you all about finally winning a playoff game again? Getting back on top of the NFC West? Having an offensive line that doesn’t look like it’s never blocked anyone before? Super Bowl or bust? Sound off in the comments!
