Slowly but surely, the Seahawks are ascending the league hierarchy while converging on a wild-card spot. If Pete Carroll hasn't become a prime candidate for Coach of the Year this season, he never will. At 7-5, Seattle has already surpassed the win total most analysts (including this writer) thought it would reach this season. Statistically speaking, the 43-16 triumph over the 49ers couldn't have looked more odd. At one point, Russell Wilson was 9-of-13 with four touchdown passes. Meanwhile, Nick Mullens threw for well over 400 yards with only one pick -- yet, San Francisco struggled to score points. Bobby Wagner managed his usual ho-hum Bobby Wagner day: 12 tackles, a sack, a pick-six and a forced fumble. He's so money, he doesn't know he's money. But everyone else should

Power Rankings are week to week thing, and the Cowboys just punched the best team in the league in the mouth, so I can see the reasoning.
Not to mention it's an opinion. We all have them and they all smell like...well you get the drift. :229031_shrug:Aros":2h66ukxc said:Sgt. Largent":2h66ukxc said:HawkGA":2h66ukxc said:Saw a ranking this morning that had them #10, with the Cowboys ahead of them.

Yup. Not gonna get the nation's attention with a beating over the 49ers which is assumed.
Who wants to play the Seahawks right now? Anyone? Anyone? (Is this an appropriate time for a Ferris Bueller reference. No, overdone.) Seattle took care of business Monday night. That's really the only way to put it. The Seahawks traded blows with the Vikings in a defensively controlled contest, then let their top-ranked ground game take over, kind of like every other week during this win streak they have going. The 'Hawks ran a whopping 42 times for 214 yards -- the ninth time this season they've eclipsed 150 yards on the ground. Their leading rusher, Chris Carson, ran for 90 yards, which speaks to what a talented stable of runners Pete Carroll has, including his QB1. Who knows how the defense is playing so well, especially that young secondary. Again, who wants to play these Seahawks?
Previous rank: No. 8
Right when all data pointed to the Seahawks gliding toward the fifth seed in the NFC, one loss puts even the sixth spot in doubt -- not a pound of doubt, to be fair, but a pinch. At 8-6, Seattle remains in the pole position. At issue are the Eagles, Redskins and Vikings, all of whom won their games Sunday and are nipping at the 'Hawks' heels. With the Chiefs coming to town this weekend, Seattle is in danger of falling behind Minnesota and even the NFC East combatants for those two postseason slots. A pair of notes from the loss in San Francisco:
A) How is it that, sandwiched around the Seahawks pecking Kirk Cousins enough to make him mediocre, Nick Mullens went 50-for-77 for 689 yards, three TDs and a pick against Seattle in two games?
B) Despite decent numbers, Russell Wilson was off late -- when the outcome was in doubt -- in the loss to the Niners. That followed a 72-yard passing day the previous week. Wilson was once a dark-horse MVP contender. Now Seattle needs its franchise quarterback to step up to stay in contention.
