After finishing 3rd in the NFC west division in last year’s NFL football season with a 5-11 record, the Seattle Seahawks felt it was necessary to do some team rebuilding. First off, they felt it was time for a new coach so they fired Jim Mora and brought in legendary college football coach Pete Carroll. Then they added new blood to the receiver group, drafting wide receiver Golden Tate. It is safe to say that bringing Carroll in was a smart call. The Seahawks football team increased their record to 7-9 and won the NFC west division and is now a playoff contender. Another major addition the Seahawks made to their football team would be acquiring running back Marshawn Lynch from the Buffalo bills. After being hurt for most of the year in Buffalo, Lynch managed 573 yards rushing and 6 touchdowns.
The Seahawks offense was led by Matt Hassel back, who led a passing attack that accumulated 266 receptions for 3001 passing yards and 12 touchdowns. Unfortunately Hasselback was troubled by injury throughout the year and backup quarterback Charlie White Hurst had to step in temporarily. His impact was felt in Week 17 when he led the Seattle Seahawks to the NFC west championship against a solid St. Louis Rams team. While quarterback injuries were an issue for the rest of the season, it did not affect the offensive rhythm that game. Lead receiver Mike Williams finished the regular season with 65 receptions, 751 yards and 2 touchdowns. The running game was effective and obtained 1,424yds rushing and 13 touchdowns.
The Seattle Seahawks football team is also characterized by a tough defense. Players like Lawyer Milloy, Jordan Babineaux, and Marcus Trufant have allowed Seattle’s offense to have more time of offensive possession throughout the course of the game.
The Seattle Seahawks are truly an NFL Cinderella story and now that they are in the 2011 NFL playoffs they have as good a chance to win as another football team in the NFL. Due to the fact that the Seattle Seahawks are seen as underdogs in the playoffs it has raised the hype for Saturday’s game on January 8, 2011 at Qwest Field in Seattle.

The Seattle Times
The 2009 season for the Seattle Seahawks looks like it could be the dawn of a new era for the team. But this could prove to be bad in the eyes of Seattle Seahawks ticket holders. Longtime head coach through the most successful period of the teams career has decided to retire.
Matt Hasselbeck is back and hopefully better after only playing 7 games last season due to an injured back. Left-tackle Walter Jones is also coming of a knee surgery which cut short his 2008 season. The team may be a little rusty starting off, but with some concentration and dedication to their plays, the team just might find the success they once had.
