I don’t want to cause trouble (ahem) BUT…”somebody” at the Townsquare Media’s corporate home office -back east-  has come out with a football forecast for the upcoming season and they don’t see a repeat for the Seahawks.  Outrage!

I hesitate to post this - but in the interest of full disclosure - here is “their” analysis.

New Orleans Saints— If any team can take down the Seahawks, it’s the Saints — especially if New Orleans makes the road to the Super Bowl run through the Superdome. Quarterback Drew Brees adds rookie wide receiver Brandin Cooks to an offense that already had weapons like tight end Jimmy Graham and running backs Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas. Free agent safety Jairus Byrd improves the defense, which has to get off the field on third downs to be effective.  (Apparently the author missed the last two playoff games 41-36 in 2011 and 23-15 last year…oops!)

Seattle Seahawks — Head coach Pete Carroll has a potential dynasty under his direction. The Seattle defense seems every bit as intimidating as it was last season, and quarterback Russell Wilson gets wide receiver Percy Harvin back from injury to bolster the offense. The only real question marks are if running back Marshawn Lynch can still produce after taking a pounding over the past several seasons — and if the first-place schedule will cost the Seahawks home field advantage. If that’s the case, Seattle will have a hard time repeating as champs.  (Legion of Boom, 12th man, Russell Wilson, Percy Harvin…and BEAST MODE…we’ll be just fine)

To wrap up the hogwash “they” see the Patriots and the Saints in the Super Bowl and the winner is…The SEAHAWKS cuz they’re WRONG - WRONG -WRONG!
