The Seattle Seahawks have canned most of their talent scouts after pretty much the entire draft class came in at less-than-expected levels of performance. In defense of the recently fired, the team did have a draft void of mid-round picks, which forced the team to roll the dice and gamble in the later rounds. It appears most of the dice rolls crapped out and will likely leave the team with a draft that will likely be forgotten from fans minds within five years.

The preseason is history and the Seahawks managed to win just one of their four preseason games. Running things through the Pythagorean (admittedly with a weak number of data points, but that's where the fun comes in...) puts the prediction for Seattle's regular season at between 5-11 and 6-10, closer to the six-win end of the spectrum.

Should that happen, it would be the best season in Seattle's sorry history as the team looks to build off of a 1-15 campaign a year ago.

But the call here is that six wins is entirely too wishful thinking at this stage. The team will be starting a rookie QB, which is inevitably going to equate to growing pains during the season. The club is also breaking in a rookie kicker -- not good when scoring points from afar might be the prime method of survival for the club. Seattle does have a pair of solid running backs, but is overall lacking in big-play capability and the defense, especially the back seven, did not impress with their ability to stop drives and get off the field. The front four demonstrated the ability to apply a pass rush, but that's not going to slow opponents down enough to win games on its own. Seattle also remains hampered by an abundance of quizzical contracts that will likely hamper the team's ability to manipulate its roster and bring in quality waiver wire sorts to improve its position considerably.

We at Sea WHAT do think the worst moments of Seattle football are firmly in the rear-view mirror after last season's one-win campaign. While the thought of a franchise record 6 wins is a nice one to harbor, that feels a little steep to us. Let's set the prediction bar at 4-12 and take anything above that as frosting on the cake. There won't be playoff football in Seattle this season, but there will be progress.

The Seattle Seahawks matched last season's win total on opening night with a 27-12 topping of the Roswell Invaders in front of a sparse crowd of 43,512. As far as openers go, you really couldn't draw this one up much better.

Seattle scored on five of its first six possessions, the lone exception being a two-play possession just before the first half came to a close. Rookie quarterback Chris Jordan will long remember his professional debut as he went 28-for-31 through the air for 238 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Kicker Byron Cheek kicked field goals of 34 and 51 yards and was also perfect on extra points in his professional debut. Craig Burleson finished with a combined 135 yards rushing and receiving, including a touchdown run. Douglas Ambrose had a pair of sacks for the defense.

Look, obviously it isn't going to go this well every weekend, but for opening night it sure was nice to give the fans a W to start off a new ownership era. Seattle looks to host Los Angeles for its next action. The Xtreme lit up the scoreboard in a 50-24 win against the Giants to begin the season.

Xtremely painful.

That's how to describe Seattle's second contest of the season. Los Angeles came to town and drilled the Seahawks 35-6 behind the nearly-400 yard effort of quarterback Andrew Martinez and 220 combined rushing and receiving yards by Karl Grizzard.

After an initial three-and-out, the Xtreme scored touchdowns on four consecutive possessions to open a commanding lead that it was hard to imagine would ever be threatened. Seattle cracked the scoreboard just before halftime on a 6-yard Chris Jordan-to-Craig Burleson touchdown pass, but the extra point missed.

Jordan was sacked and fumbled near the goal line in the third quarter and Los Angeles recovered in the end zone for the only score by either team in the second half. The sack was one of nine suffered by the Seahawks' rookie quarterback.

Despite the rout on the scoreboard, there was some good. Jordan finished 26-for-36 for 283 yards through the air and the one score. Chad Wilkes had 76 receiving yards on three catches. CB Michael Toy notched an interception for the Seattle defense and also recovered a fumble in the contest as he shared game-high tacking honors with fellow corner Michael Moulder.

Seattle (1-1) travels to Houston (0-2) for its next action.

With the game on the line, rookie quarterback Chris Jordan led the Seahawks on a 75-yard go-ahead touchdown drive, tossing a 22-yard pass to James Carbone with 1:55 remaining in the game. Greg Forman then brought down the Houston QB in the end zone for his fourth sack of the night and Seattle added a field goal as well to give the game a 21-15 final score.

Jordan finished 23-for-26 for 204 yards, a TD and an interception, which was just enough on a night when the Seahawks were only 1-for-12 on third-down conversions. Craig Burleson had 118 combined rushing and passing yards. Michael Toy had a team-high 8 tackles and an interception.

Seattle (2-1) heads down the coast this week for a game against the undefeated Demons of San Fran. The team will likely set modesty aside as the Demons have outscored their first three opponents by a combined total of 153-20.

On the road with my team, so not much time to type since I'm going on 20 hours with no sleep in the hope of getting 5 more before the next slog.

That said, Seattle fell to San Francisco -- no surprise there -- but the final margin was only 27-20, which almost feels like a win. If a person was counting moral victories, this would probably qualify.

I @#$%!! hate moral victories. That phrase has always driven me nuts.

That said, Seattle will gladly take 41-for-43 performances in the passing department as often as fate would like to give them to us. There were some awesome offensive stats in this one and hopefully that trend will continue for the team.

Will have to leave it at that since I need to go do room checks and then examine the insides of my own eyeballs.

The Seattle Seahawks moved back north of the .500 mark for the season with a 12-6 victory in the blazing heat of Arizona. Kickoff temperatures were 102 degrees for the first weekend in October, prompting at least one out-of-town sportswriter to start a Change.org petition to rename the stadium to Satan's Rectum.

I confess. It was me. A guy has to do something when he's sick and tired of watching his offense bog down inside the 25 and settle for FOUR FREAKING FIELD GOALS!

Raise a toast to Byron Cheek for connecting from 41, 50, 38 and 22 yards out. Sure, he missed his last kick just wide to the right to avoid staking the Seahawks to a two-score advantage in the waning minutes, but the defense held nicely behind four quarterback sacks.

Robert Adams hauled in 3 passes for a team-best 83 receiving yards. Tight end James Galdamez added seven catches for 79 yards as QB Chris Jordon continues his quest for rookie of the year honors behind a 26-for-32 performance that netted 236 passing yards.

Next up for Seattle is a road appointment at the Packers (3-1-1).

The Seattle Seahawks transformed a pair of first-half fumbled center-quarterback exchanges by the Packers into two touchdowns, then held on for a 16-10 road victory. The win advances the team's record to 4-2 for the season.

Chris Jordan hit on 30 of his 31 passing attempts, but amassed just 157 yards on a night where defenses ruled the day. His 17-yard toss to Bryan Feist opened the scoring. Chad Wilkes added a 5-yard run to glory in the second quarter as Seattle built its 13-0 first-half lead.

Defensively, the 'Hawks held Green Bay to just 158 yards, nearly half of which came on the Packers' final possession of the game as they scored a touchdown with 51 seconds remaining in the game.

Seattle hosts Atlanta (1-5) for its next action.

In their 5-year history, the Seattle Seahawks have never won more than five games in a season. Following a 29-9 victory over Atlanta, the team has now won five of its first seven games in 2022.

Rookie quarterback Chris Jordan threw four touchdown passes to four different receivers as part of a 25-for-32 night that ended with 324 passing yards. Brian Feist led the way with 77 receiving yards, most of which came on a 65-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter. Michael Jackson added 74 receiving yards on five catches.

Defensively, Michael Sanford opened the scoring with a sack of Atlanta QB John Heidel in the end zone for a safety. It was one of four sacks registered by the 'Hawks defense, which now has 22 as a unit this season. Greg Forman had two of those tackles, increasing his total to a team-leading 8 sacks this season.

Seattle (5-2) will travel to London to face the Golden Knights (3-4) for their next action.

The Seattle Seahawks held London to 97 yards of offense, harassed quarterback Larry Howe to the tune of nine sacks and took advantage of opportunities that presented themselves in a 25-3 defeat of the Golden Knights. With the victory, this becomes the most successful season in Seahawk franchise history with no fewer than six wins.

Chris Jordan was 29-for-31 with touchdown passes of 47 and 36 yards in the first half to finish with 280 yards slinging the rock. The second of those TD's went to tight end James Galdamez, who was a huge part of the Seattle strategy last night. Galdamez hauled in 10 receptions for 127 yards. Craig Burleson added 107 combined rushing and receiving yards in the game as Seattle outgained London 354-97 in the contest.

Defensively, the bookend pair of RDE Greg Forman and LDE Paul Bence combined for seven of Seattle's nine sacks in the contest. Forman also forced and recovered a London fumble in the contest. Byron Cheek had field goals of 43, 20 and 42 yards despite a howling 22 mph gale throughout the game.

The Seahawks (6-2) host Dallas (1-6-1) for their next action.
