The thing that really jumps out to me, aside from a tough game at Chicago on my birthday, is that the Seahawks will be playing a Thursday night game in December at home just four days after travelling to Arizona. Teams always complain about the Thanksgiving Day games because of the limited time to prepare. Good thing that game is just against those sorry-ass 49ers from San Francisco. Sucks to be them getting fed to the wolves like that on a nationally-televised game.
I wish the bye week was a little later in the season (say week 7 or 8 would have been perfect) but if they can go 3-1 through the first month, they have a great shot at finishing the season 12-4 or better. Games on the road at Kansas City and Denver will be tough and the old AFC West rivalries will likely be resurrected if only for a week or two. That game on New Year's Eve could have huge ramifications in the playoff picture, as could that game in week 3 against the Giants. I can't wait!
