The article points out injuries, etc., but we all know the real reason they lost out..

from ESPN.com, "Seattle Seahawks: The same Seahawks who have either sat or knelt during the national anthem for much of the season did the same thing before the team’s regular-season finale against Arizona. Those sitting again were: Dion Jordan, Paul Dawson, Frank Clark, Marcus Smith, Michael Bennett, Sheldon Richardson, Jarran Reed, Quinton Jefferson and Branden Jackson. All but Dawson -- a linebacker -- are defensive linemen. Left tackle Duane Brown took a knee next to those players while center Justin Britt stood next to him with his hand on Brown’s shoulder in support. -- Brady Henderson"

IOW, the Seahawks are out of the playoffs primarily because they put politics ahead of football, so they lost their mental focus, made the main thing a secondary thing, concentrated on messaging over execution, and wound up — all of them, essentially — benched.

They could have been “in” if they hadn’t “outed” themselves.

Seahawks coaching needs to begin training camp next season with a few immortal words of gridiron wisdom, beginning with “Gentlemen, this is a football.”

I love football. Now it’s college ball exclusively. I have not, and will not watch the nfl. Not even once. Super Bowl? Hell no.

Bennett being on a losing team is gratification enough for me...
