Seattle Seahawks fans are asked to weigh in on whether missing the playoffs this season would constitute a failure, considering the team's recent performance and their chances in the NFC West.
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL . Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. It’s time for another edition of Seahawks Reacts! This is probably not going to be an enjoyable one for the confidence poll after Seattle’s heavy defeat to the Green Bay Packers.
With the Minnesota Vikings coming into town at 12-2, optimism probably won’t be high for the score predictions, either. Let’s go to the question of the week. Seattle’s playoff probability (per the New York Times playoff machine) is 22%. Not looking great, folks! If the Seahawks miss the playoffs it’ll be the third time in four seasons with no postseason involvement, something we haven’t seen since 2008-2011, which involved three head coaches and two GMs and a transition from an aging squad to a rebuilding one. Unlike last season, the Seahawks have been right there in the NFC West chase all season and this is as good a chance they’ve had to win the division over the last four years. Would you consider this season a failure if the Seahawks miss the playoffs? They’ve already surpassed their Vegas over/under win total projection if you consider that to be a success in itself. However, this is very much a question that is based upon your personal preseason expectations. Perhaps you thought with a new coaching staff and a fair amount of roster turnover, making the playoffs would’ve been a bonus/nice to have. Or you’re someone who expects the playoffs every year as long as the roster doesn’t look like a bottom-five unit. Or you had no playoff expectations coming into the season, got your hopes up after the 3-0 start, noticed this isn’t a great NFC West, and are now disappointed if they collapse. The answers are yes, no, and “depends on how the season ends” for that question. Answer in the survey below! Check back later in the week for the full result
