They now also are moving up the list, all things equal, with talented free agents around the league. So in that regard they are setup better certainly than a team like the Ravens last year who had to gut the team to pay Flacco, and losing Lewis and Reed.
Getting that monkey off the back and having this win should be enjoyed by the Seahawks and their fans for what it is.

Good write up Browna. Winning in the NFL is a VERY fine line and the Seahawks played well and had things go their way, which you need in the NFL to win it all.
If the ref in the 49ers/Saints game didn't blow that call on the sack to Drew Brees (where they called a 15 yard personal foul penalty), San Fran would've ran the clock out and won and would've won the division.
It's crazy how the NFL season can literally come down to one call and be the difference (in the Niners case) from finishing 1st to 5th in a conference.
The Niners/Seahawks division is gonna be crazy good next year. The Hawks and Niners will be favourites again next year but with such a tough division they might be too worn out/injured at the end of the year to win a Superbowl.
Should be good next year though, looking forward to it.
