Seahawks might already be good enough to win Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is over and it was a bad one. But for Seahawks fans it might have just given some hope for great things in 2019.

So, 12s, how many of you enjoyed the Super Bowl? Think about it for just a minute. The Seahawks didn’t play in the game, of course, but if they had they might have easily won it. Neither the Patriots or Rams looked very good.

Tom Brady looked old against a Rams defense that wasn’t very good for most of the season. If not for Julian Edelman, the Patriots may not have scored enough. And that isn’t a compliment. New England’s defense won them this year’s Super Bowl, not Brady.

For all the times Rams coach Sean McVay has been called a genius for his offensive acumen, he has mostly choked in the playoffs. In four postseason games as the Rams head coach, McVay’s offenses have average 18 points per game. That isn’t good enough. Maybe McVay just gets too conservative in big games?

Neither the Rams nor the Patriots looked much better than the Seahawks did this year. Both New England and Los Angeles should be good next year, too. But Seattle can beat either team. If they can beat either team, they can beat anybody.

Bill Belichick may be the greatest coach in the history of professional football but Russell Wilson gives him fits. Wilson is 2-1 against the Patriots and we all know he should be 3-0. The Patriots play sound defense and Wilson is a wild card they have difficulty adjusting to. Wilson in three games has thrown for 8 touchdowns against the Patriots and just the one famous interception. In each game Wilson has had a quarterback rating of at least 110.6.

The other teams, like the Chiefs, that could be contenders 2019 all have flaws. Seattle needs Brian Schottenheimer to not be so conservative next postseason. With just a little more execution and luck, the Seahawks could win the Super Bowl next season.
