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.
We’ve got a fun graphic to share at the start of this week’s Reacts article relating to fan confidence in the Seahawks throughout the season, and let me tell you… Seattle Seahawks fans have been on a rollercoaster of emotions!
(Disclosure: *This SB Nation graphic was created using AI)
I can’t say that I blame you.
Coming off a Super Bowl victory
with almost all of the key players returning, fans were really feeling this team early on. The loss in Denver cratered everyone’s confidence, but the win vs. the previously unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs had us all riding high again.
Then, the Chicago Bears crapping of the bed happened to put everyone at a season low. What were your highs and lows of the Seahawks season so far? Head down to the comments and let us know!
Fan confidence rebounded a bit after the Cardinals victory to get back in the positive column at 58% heading into the game vs the Las Vegas Raiders.
That’s still not great, but with a bye week coming up another win and increased health should have fans feeling slightly better about the team.
The other main question in this week’s poll was the number of wins that it will take for Seattle to make the playoffs.
The winner of the poll with 58% was 11 wins, meaning the Seahawks need to go 6-2 over the last 8 games of the season. As a numbers and patterns guy, I think it’s interesting that the top percentage from this poll was 58% which matches the fan confidence result from this week.
If the Seahawks get healthy, they absolutely have the talent to string together a bunch of wins to finish the season. However, it may not be likely based on the results thus far. Still, just getting hot at the right time and getting into the playoffs gives Seattle a shot.
They’ll need to take it one game at a time, and the next opportunity comes up Sunday in Sin City. A win would do wonders to avoid another huge dip in the season-long fan confidence figures…and also help all of our mentals!
