Glad to see that we're getting praise from the national media but its weird. It almost has me worried.

Don't get me wrong.. I enjoy reading the praise. And everything he writes is logical.
It's just... if we go to Toronto and lose to the Bills this weekend, you'll probably read an article saying the Seahawks blew it... that they're frauds. That they had a chance to create a NFC West 'title game' almost next week and couldn't get it done. So while praise is great... I just we're reading the same kind of things with the NFC West title already locked up.

We know they have a shot and all and can play with any team anywhere while competing, but there are a short list of teams that now have a Seahawk loss on their record that would LOVE to get it back.
Dallas
GB
NE
Chicago
This team just needs to go to Buffalo and take care of business.

The problem is, you can't play the way Wilson and the Seahawks have been playing this season and stay under the radar. Sure, if all bloggers, journalists, etc. just looked at the record, then it would be easy for them to dismiss us as a slightly above average team. But when they actually WATCH the games and see what the Seahawks are doing, they see a whole new thing.
Still, I think that this is where the coaches will earn their pay. Sure, it's possible that the team starts feeling a little too good about itself after the Chicago and Arizona games and decides it can coast in Buffalo, but it's on the coaches to keep the guys hungry and focused. I imagine there's going to be a lot of repetition of something Carroll said after the Arizona game... "We haven't done anything yet." And he'll hammer that home.
Be confident, trust yourselves and your teammates, but remember... We don't have a playoff spot locked up. We don't have the division title. We don't even have a winning season guaranteed. The only way to start accomplishing those goals is to start with the Bills.
