I do agree that the lack of prime time appearances compared to teams like Dallas (who didn't even make the playoffs in 2008) is stupid. The Seahawks didn't get much recognition after their Super Bowl appearance either, and rarely drew a prime time game at home even during their 5-year playoff run. This year, for the first time since 1983, the Seahawks won't play a prime time game (probably warranted after a 4-12 season). I'm still a little upset about the early starts for west coast teams ... the Seahawks and 49ers have the maximum amount of 10 AM starts at six each. The NFL gave a break to east coast teams who play teams in the NFC and AFC West; when are they going to reciprocate the favor for west coast teams who get stuck with brutal travel schedules every season?
