I'll stay optimistic. The sky hasn't fallen. We seem to hit this point every year--even in our Super Bowl winning years (Freeman, Brooks, Chmura injuries in 1996 and the loss at Dallas + 8-6 with a bunch of injuries in 2010). Seattle is tough. In the last two years they have blown out Dallas (27-7), Arizona (58-0), San Francisco (42-13), New Orleans (34-7), and San Francisco again (29-3)--not to mention throttling some lesser teams at home. It's a place where you can get beat handily if you aren't at the top of your game. Last year, both New Orleans and San Fran were throttled at Seattle in the regular season before losing in tight games in the playoffs. I'm going to wait a few weeks before I let panic set in. That is all.
