Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seahawks fans and fans across the country.

The Seattle Seahawks are 5-4, which currently does not put them into the playoffs. If they played in the NFC South, they’d have one hand on the division title given how bad those four teams are. But they don’t, and the NFC North has a real chance to snag all three Wild Card spots. Isn’t it insane that 6-3 gets you last place in the division?

So what will it take for Seattle? The best they can do is 13-4, which I’d like to think makes the playoffs, but it is actually mathematically possible for Seattle to still miss that way.

But if we’re being realistic, how many wins do the Seahawks need to finish with to assure themselves of a postseason berth? Is it 9, 10, 11, 12, or are we somehow in “run the table” territory just to get a playoff berth, nevermind win the NFC West?

The other question this week is the confidence poll, which you’re used to by now. Vote in the surveys below!
