Vorstellung » The Seattle Seahawks not only lost to the San Francisco 49ers

on Sunday http://www.theseahawksfanshop.com/Cody-Barton-Jersey , but they didn’t get favorable results in other games. All of a sudden, the Minnesota Vikings are 1鈦? game behind Seattle again for the #5 seed, while both Washington and the Philadelphia Eagles scored unlikely road wins to boost themselves to 7-7. We’ll see if the Carolina Panthers can cap off a crazy Week 15 by beating the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.I don’t want this to be a “doom and gloom” playoff picture article, but I also remember when the Seahawks were 8-4 last year and had an outside shot at the #2 seed. Instead, the perfect storm of bad results knocked Seattle out of a playoff spot by Week 17. You should always brace for the worst case scenario, and unlike last year, the good news for the 2018 Seahawks is they’re guaranteed to still be in a wild card spot regardless of Week 16’s results.So what is that worst case scenario? Here you go...—Seahawks lose vs. the Kansas City Chiefs AND—Washington wins at the Tennessee Titans AND—Eagles win vs. the Houston Texans AND—Vikings win at the Detroit LionsThat would mean the Seahawks, Washington, and Philadelphia would all be at 8-7 D.K. Metcalf Jersey , while the Vikings would have an 8-6-1 record plus the #5 seed. It also makes it mathematically impossible for the Seahawks to qualify for the playoffs at 8-8, as Philly and Washington play each other in Week 17. Seattle has never lost three straight games in a season under Russell Wilson, but frankly if they can’t win at home against an Arizona Cardinals team that looks worse now than when these two teams met in Week 4, they really don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.Again, this is the worst case scenario, not the likely scenario. If Washington and Philadelphia both lose, Seattle has a much greater chance of qualifying in a situation where they collapse to 8-8. The best case scenario is that the Seahawks beat the Chiefs, and a trio of losses by Washington, Philadelphia http://www.theseahawksfanshop.com/Marquise-Blair-Jersey , and Minnesota assure Seattle of the #5 seed and a chance to rest starters against the Cardinals in week 17. The Panthers already lost to the Seahawks, so even if they win out, one Seattle victory renders Carolina unable to overtake Seattle. So let’s root for that! Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said last week that the team would not let defensive end Frank Clark get away as a free agent and he was proven correct on Monday afternoon.According to multiple reports, the Seahawks have used the franchise tag on Clark. The tag carries a salary of $17.128 million if Clark signs it and plays out the year without reaching agreement on a new deal with Seattle. They’ll have until July 15 to sort that out.Clark joined the Seahawks as a second-round pick in the 2015 draft and set a career high with 13 sacks for the team last season.Clark’s the fourth edge player to get tagged on Monday. Jadeveon Clowney of the Texans, DeMarcus Lawrence of the Cowboys and Chiefs linebacker Dee Ford are also in that category ahead of Tuesday afternoon’s deadline, so the remaining free agents in that category should see their price tags rise as demand is likely to outstrip supply come the start of the new league year.: The NFL’s daily transaction wire confirmed that Clark has been tagged.
