I think we're looking at a 10 or 11 win season. I don't see us being a Superbowl contender yet at this point. I guess I see this season as more of a developmental year where we can set up a Superbowl run the rest after. I do think this year we're quite solidly a wildcard team and the second best team in the NFC West.

My gut feeling was closer to 9-8, about the same as last year. I feel like the roster is a bit better but not hugely.
By position group, I think:
- Offensive line: better (new center, second year for rookie tackles)
- Receivers: better (finally have a third WR!)
- Running: about the same (lost Penny, who wasn't able to play much, but was great when he could, replaced by a rookie)
- QB: ??? (Geno was really good at the beginning of the year but tailed off later)
- Defensive line: worse (lost several contributors)
- Linebackers: better (hard to know how much Wagner has left, though)
- Secondary: better (Witherspoon, healthy Adams)
Looking at the schedule, it does seem easier than I expected to get to 10 or 11 wins! I think winning 5 of 6 in the division is a bit optimistic, so I could see one more loss there. And probably a loss from one of the Lions, Panthers, Giants, Browns. But I could also see getting to 11!
My guts tells me 11-12 wins, but I differ from op because I think some of those losses wiol come from crap teams. We seems to be preparing very well against good team only to shit the bed vs the ones with a losing record the next week
12-5 for me. I think they will be fun to watch. The defense should be marginally better since Bobbie is back. He's going to shore up the run defense, as you noted. We had such a fun year watching Russ implode, had a great draft, and won more games than I expected. I think the Hawks will make the playoffs and win one game. Yes, I think it'll happen. Go Hawks.
I hope bobby can also help some of the newer players Improve on defense, since once he does retire from playing it would be great to have him move to a positions coach, and possibly in the future the head coach once Pete Carroll retires. Go Hawks!
Yes, the run defense was a nothing-burger last year. That was painful to watch, especially mid-season (Tampa in London hurt my eyes). And if Bobby can give some good direction to the young bucks we might see some good things in the future. Go Hawks!
I'm feeling painfully optimistic this year tbh. If there was ever a year to put a crazy bet on us winning the superbowl it feels like this year.
Bobby's presence commanding that defense is going to make them wildly more consistent and imo we have the most offensive weapons in the league.
12-5+ no doubt
