Seattle is good but not great

The Seahawks have had their issues as well, especially with their health. Quarterback Russell Wilson has been hampered with an MCL sprain this season. Give him all the credit in the world though for coming out and leading his team to a 4-1 record.

They should have lost to Miami at home on opening day. They found a way to pull it out though, as good teams do. They had a hard time with the Rams just as the Cardinals did and they were handed their only loss of the season by Los Angeles.

The Seahawks though handled the Jets and 49ers like the Cardinals did. They struggled against the Atlanta Falcons last week, pulling out a 26-24 victory but not without controversy. There was a questionable non-pass interference call late that didn’t help.

Good teams will sometimes get the benefit of the doubt though. Teams can’t rely on the officials to do their jobs for them. It was a legitimate victory but it was close and Atlanta had their shot.

The Cardinals hopefully were able to find some weaknesses that may have not been there in the past. The Seahawks do get some of their injured players back this week though, so certainly no walk in the park.
