Field Gulls
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Each week we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country.
Happy Saturday, Seattle Seahawks fans! It’s time to see how you voted in this week’s SB Nations Reacts survey.
Last week’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars has predictably risen confidence in the direction of the franchise. Surveyed Seahawks fans sit at 97 percent, up from an already high 90 percent. It’d take a lot at this point to tank this below the 90s at this rate.
Next up for the Seahawks is a Monday night matchup with the Houston Texans, who may be better than their 2-3 record suggests and are getting healthier following their bye week. Even with Seattle’s repeated home struggles, a whopping 94 percent of respondents see the Seahawks coming away with a W.
Our question of the week is centered around the playoff picture. Seattle currently has the top spot in the wild card but could lead the NFC West entering the bye week with a win over the Texans plus losses by the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. It figures to be a three-team race for the division, and the lack of a truly dominant NFC means the possibility of the Seahawks winning the No. 1 seed is (at least at the moment) not far fetched.
Most fans surveyed see the Seahawks winning the NFC West, although few see the No. 1 seed happening. Only two percent see Seattle missing the playoffs.
Is it too early for this playoff question? Maybe. But we’re going to check in again before the Los Angeles Rams game in Week 11 to see how everyone feels then.
Thanks for participating and we’ll see you next week for a special bye week survey.
