These Seahawks are not quite who we thought they were. Heading into the 2023 NFL campaign we projected an 11-6 record during the regular season. Early on it became clear that they had the potential to reach that mark. At midseason they were 5-2 and looked like they could at least compete with the brutal strech of opponents that began in Week 9 against the Ravens. As it turned out, this team was indeed talented but also severely mismanaged, fundamentally flawed and nowhere near as good as Super Bowl contenders like Baltimore and the division rival 49ers.
