A New Era in Seattle
After 10 Years of Stability at the Quarterback position, and a winning tradition in the Pacific Northwest, a new era is beginning in Seattle. Gone in the off-season is Russell Wilson, and Bobby Wagner. The heart, and soul of the teams offense and defense. Two sure fire Hall of Famers, and the two players that led Seattle to the only championship in the franchise's history, . However still in place is Head Coach Pete Carroll, and a young hungry roster ready to prove that they're more than just their former star QB, and all-world linebacker. There's still a lot of familiar faces. Jamal Adams, and Quandre Diggs are still one of the most formidable safety tandems in the league shoring up the back end of the defense, and while the QB will be different. The targets remain the same as one of the most dynamic WR duos in the game still exists with Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. Speaking of the QB. Incumbent Geno Smith, and Drew Lock, who was acquired in the Russell Wilson trade will battle it out for the QB1 job. Many around the league believe this is a time for rebuild in Seattle, but Pete Carroll wants none of that talk, as he still believes this team can compete for a playoff spot. Time will tell who is right.

The Schedule
During the Russell Wilson era Seahawks fans got used to multiple nationally televised games every year. That is not the case this season as the Seahawks will have just two national night games on the schedule. Of course the first one being Russell Wilson's return to Seattle in Week 1. The other game Seahawks fans are looking forward to is the team's trip over to Berlin, Germany in Week 10 when they will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
