Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of NFL fans. Every week we ask questions to the most connected Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country.
As expected, last week’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars increased confidence in the direction of the franchise. Seahawks fans surveyed are 97 percent, up from an already high 90 percent. It would take a lot at this point to get below the 90s at this rate.
Next up for the Seahawks is a Monday night matchup with the Houston Texans, who could be better than their 2-3 record suggests and are healthier after their bye week. Even with Seattle’s repeated struggles at home, 94% of respondents see the Seahawks leaving with a W.
Our question of the week focuses on the playoff picture. Seattle currently sits in the top wild card spot, but could lead the NFC West entering the bye week with a win over the Texans and losses to the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. It’s a three-team race for the division, and the lack of a truly dominant NFC means the possibility of the Seahawks winning the No. 1 seed is (at least for now) not far-fetched.
Most fans surveyed see the Seahawks winning the NFC West, although few see the No. 1 seed happening. Only two percent think Seattle will miss the playoffs.
Is it too early for this playoff question? Maybe. But we’re going to check back before the Los Angeles Rams game in Week 11 to see how everyone feels then.
Thanks for participating and see you next week for a special bye week survey.
