Field Gulls
The schedule is out! How will the Seahawks do?
With the schedule finally here, the 2025 NFL season feels just that much closer. As the Seattle Seahawks released their schedule in an “action packed” way, it didn’t take long for the fans and media to begin clashing on how they feel the Seahawks will do this year.
With so much change to the roster and coaching staff, combined with a unique schedule that sees Seattle facing both the AFC and NFC South, it is not hard to find a wide range of record predictions for the Seahawks. I’ve seen everything from 4-13 to 13-4, it truly is that wide between the believers and those that clamor for Geno Smith and DK Metcalf.
With that being said, I figured I’d take a crack at how I think Seattle’s season will go in 2025.
This game reminds me so much of the 2023 home opener against the Rams. There was so much hype about the Seahawks, while the Rams were in an apparent rebuild. Abe Lucas and Charles Cross both got injured and Seattle was embarrassed 30-13. I believe there’s enough mystery with the new look Seahawks offense, and Macdonald continues to put the clamps on Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
Seahawks get the victory in what might be a must win game, even in week one.
Seahawks win 23-17 (1-0)
I’m going to go ahead and project that Aaron Rodgers will be Pittsburgh’s signal caller in 2025. While I have a lot of questions about what he has left in the tank, and his questionable fit with DK Metcalf, this is still a tough first road game against a championship level defense.
Sam Darnold takes his first lumps, while the Steelers do just enough for the win.
Seahawks lose 23-19 (1-1)
After two weeks of up and down offensive play, Kubiak and Darnold begin to hit their stride, as the offense cooks against the worst team in the NFL.
Seahawks win 34-10 (2-1)
Offensive momentum continues into the desert, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp start to to turn into one of the best WR duos in the NFL.
Seahawks win 26-14 (3-1)
While the Lions, Eagles and Commanders are getting all the attention, people tend to forget about Tampa Bay as a contender. As long as Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans are healthy, the Bucs are a true threat to win the NFC in my opinion.
Seattle finds this out the hard way, as Tampa walks off the ‘Hawks in a potential playoff preview.
Seahawks lose 27-24 (3-2)
Traveling across the country for a 10am game is usually a recipe for an upset, and while the Jags appear to be more competent with immediate star two-way...
