The 08′s season for the Seattle Seahawks was an utter disappointment finishing 4-12. The Seahawks caught the injury bug and no one was able to stay healthy, thus the bad record.

The 09′s season started off well with a win against the St. Louis Rams – who are in the process of rebuilding their team. The Seattle Seahawks finished third in the NFC West last season with a 4-12 record, Seahawks can not go through another season like that.

Matt Hasselback has played ok but suffered a rib injury. It is yet to be determined if this will be a lingering injury that will hurt his entire 09′ season. If the team expects to improve on their 4-12 season, Hasselback must start more then 7 games, as he did in 08′.

Matt Hasselback proved when he is healthy he is one of the most efficient QB’s in the NFL — the problem is he hasn’t been able to stay healthy the last couple seasons.

A game against the Bears would surely be difficult to win without the team’s premier quarterback, so they’re hoping he’ll be at their side when it comes down to game time. With Jay Cutler running the show for the Bears, the Seahawks defense will have some issues.

RB Julius Jones is a formidable player who had a great season for the Dallas Cowboys in 06′ with over a 1,000 yeard rushing. He will need a 1,000 yard season for the Seahawks to make any noise in the NFC West.

The Super Bowl days for the Seattle Seahawks may be gone but that doesn’t mean they can’t compete and give opponents trouble every game.

Hopefully, the injuries that wrecked the Seahawks 08′ season can be avoided in 09′. If they can stay healthy, they’ll at least be able to put up a fight in plenty of games.
