The Seattle Seahawks believe they can close the gap on San Francisco in what’s expected to be a two-team race for the NFC West title. Geno Smith proved to be a more than capable starting QB and had an entire offseason knowing he's the starter.
Geno Smith saw no reason to try and downplay the performance the Seattle Seahawks had just put forth. Seattle’s season began with an unexpected flop that left fans booing, players losing control of their emotions and the Seahawks feeling flat outplayed by their division foe. Seattle’s 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams was an immediate wakeup call that last year’s unexpected success and the feel-good story surrounding that team is long in the past. Seattle started this season believing it could be a contender in the NFC West. Instead, Seattle was thoroughly outplayed by a Rams roster that’s undergone major surgery that gutted most of the core from the team that two seasons ago won the Super Bowl.
