Seattle is primed to go all the way again.
Seattle is NOT primed to go all the way again lol. Their OL is in shambles and they don't have a legitimate #1 WR.
Their defense is tough and the way Seattle plays this year will be very different then how they played the past 2 years. The addition of Jimmy Graham benefits Marshawn Lynch more then it does Russell Wilson

What ever j gram will be top 5 recieving yards this year you watch. The o-line gets better every game! They will make another run. Who are you thinking! If you say patriots I'll hate you forever lol!
Jimmy Graham and Drew Brees had a special connection, Graham will still be good, but Wilson isn't as good or will be anywhere as good as Brees in the passing game. That OL is putrid too. If Lynch goes down at all this season, teams will exploit the line.
I see it being Steelers or Patriots vs Packers or Cardinals if Palmer stays healthy.
Oh geez! I would rather it be the steelers than the patriots.
Saints and Colts

Lets get this shit out of the way first ...
Seattle didn't have a pass catching TE last year and the TEs they had were all run blocking TEs with Luke Wilson the only TE with more than10 catches who had 22 for 362 yards all year. Jimmy Graham is not a very good blocker both passing or running, he never has been. In New Orleans he had the years he had of over 85 catches every year except his rookie year because Dree Brees knows how to spread the ball but also how to use the TEs as his safety dump.
Seattle needs a TE who can run block for Lynch even though Lynch is a tailback who doesn't need a lead blocker, but you need 2 blocking TEs in order for Lynch to find the open whole. If Seattle thinks they can give the ball to Lynch more than 250 times again this year without a back up to spell Lynch and give him a breather, Lynch will be done by mid season. Lynch has taken a pounding every year since he became a Seahawk and a RBs average NFL career is only 7 years, he is entering his 10th year and he just wont last if Seattle decides to feed him the ball all year long again.
And yes, Seattle still doesn't have a true "flanker" or a "split end" on their roster, Baldwin is slot wr playing split end in the NFL and Jermaine Kearse is not a "flanker" and "His" best year was last year with 38 catches one more than Lynch had with 37.
No run blocking means Wilson will have to pass the ball more this year and them signing Graham without a doubt is a clear precursor of them trying to pass the ball more with Wilson. Yes Wilson had 3400 yards passing which is very good with a completion % of 63 and a qb rating of 90, but Wilson is not going to win games with his arm. He has been lucky, very lucky to have had Lynch all this time and him throwing that INT in the SB is more than enough proof that he is just like Tony Romo when it comes to "clutch" situations.
So who do I have in the SB? i Say Ravens vs pEckers in the SB ....

And I do think Seattle has a decent chance of going. They may have a mediocre offense. But defense wins championships. They still have the best. I think the offense will be average. But then again they always have been.
