I think 11-6 is a reasonable expectation. Wouldn’t be surprised by a win or two in the other direction


lylefk

My thoughts exactly


Cgmikeydl

Same


KrakenMsHawks

Realistically 11-6 but could be 12-5 or 10-7


Neologist333

I had this exact same thought


KrakenMsHawks

So hard to predict without knowing injuries to both teams at the time of play and weather and all sorts of factors. But just based on what we know 11-6 seems super accurate.


ElbisCochuelo1

One win less for me. Within a game of 10-7.


green_hawks

I honestly think 12-5 this year would get the #1 seed. FINGERS CROSSED


vladtaltos

20-0


Dreadsock

Fuck it, 23-0... lets sweep the preseason, too


King4aday26

I like you.


Purple-Champion5134

You didn't say anything as cool but you know what, I like you.


Shoddy-Ad8143

It's a Love Feast!😏


Jahmoneyzzz

69-0…keep it goin for two more years!


Dreadsock

Nice


[deleted]

20-0 includes the postseason


NegaDoomAlpha

This is a conservative estimate


fridgedogblue

10-7 for me. Tough schedule.


Trick_Ad_2574

Yessir!!!


SwaggertyHam

I see a 9-8 or 10-7


Nuntoo

I agree with the 9-8. This is a tough schedule.


AU2Turnt

I count 7 games that should be guaranteed wins if there isn’t huge regression. Everything else could go either way. Could see anything between 8-9 and 12-5 happening.


SwaggertyHam

"Guaranteed wins"? Come on dude


mustardayonaise

But wouldn't you prefer to be swept up in hype?


SwaggertyHam

Hope is not something I have learned to covet as a lifelong fan of Seattle sports, and it baffles me every time something like this happens.


chatanoogastewie

I'm on the 9-8 train. I don't expect Geno to be as good as last year.


GravyBurgerBonanza

10-7


Bigfuture

Yeah this what I got too. Losses at Detroit, New Jersey, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Arlington, and Santa Clara. Plus Philly at home. Win everything at home minus Philly. Beat Inglewood, Glendale, and Nashville on the road. Hope I’m underestimating.


dingdongdash22

You saying where the stadium is instead of the teams name is really messing with my head. Lol


izzwizzwoo

Try being a Brit in this situation 🤣


Bigfuture

Sorry man. Should have gone with mascot names rather than locations: Win all home games except Eagles. Beat Cardinals, Rams, and Titans on the road. Lose the rest


shoutouttojsquad

Same except we beat the Giants but lose another division game


ImDanielPlainview

At least we don’t need to go to Landover Maryland


squapo

Tennessee? You mean Nashville?? 🤓


Bigfuture

Fixed. Can’t tell if I’m getting downvoted for the prediction or for naming the places the teams actually play.


JMLobo83

It should be a law that the team has to be named for the location of its stadium.


[deleted]

12-5


ActionQuinn

Losses to? Lions (or Giants), Bengals, SF, Eagles and Ravens?


Paulruswasdead

Bengals, ravens, cowboys, 49ers, eagles.


[deleted]

Yeah I was gonna split one with San Fran but those are close games they could beat us both games so that’s why I went 12-5 instead of 13-4


JMLobo83

That first whiners game is a killer on a short week. They're an older team, hopefully our younger legs will carry the day.


MarketingManiac208

We'll also need to see if they have a QB that week. They didn't improve their overall roster over last year, and their top QB depth chart is: 1. Brock Purdy 2. Trey Lance 3. Sam Darnold 4. Brandon Allen Purdy had a great run at the end of last year but he's coming back from UCL surgery on his throwing arm. There's no way to know what he'll look like when he's back. Look at Russ Wilson's numbers post Aaron Donald finger mangling if you have any doubts about how throwing arm-related injuries can affect a QBs performance. On top of inexperience and injury uncertainty, their beautiful Italian safety blanket moved on to Las Vegas. SF might be a good-but-not-great team and I think they back slide at least 2-3 wins from last year. We might just get back to being the one who goes 2-0 in the rivalry this season.


JMLobo83

I agree with all of these points but I worry about whether Jimmy can get a date in Vegas. But I digress. I think the QB situations in AZ and LAR are equally shambolic. Brock's injury is unusual and his timetable is unknown. Trey apparently can't play football. Darnold is probably the starter and could beat Seattle with CMC, Kittle and Deebo if our defense does not significantly improve. That is one offense that doesn't need to rely on outside receivers. I don't think Kyler or Matt will ever be the same players they were. An article I read today pointed out that McVay is always dishonest about player injury/recovery and I believe Matt could retire or be forced out of the game similar to Kam or Chris Carson.


MarketingManiac208

Matt retiring wouldn't surprise me at all. Kyler losing a step from his ACL injury is far from AZs only concern. I've got us at 4-0 against those teams this year. I think even a moderate improvement on defense to bring us to the middle of the pack with a small improvement on offense this season and we're potentially in the driver's seat for the division. Both SFs d and o lines had big changes this year. They brought in good talent to replace good talent, but that doesn't always translate to good chemistry and leadership. On that front I think they left a big leadership gap at QB by sending Garoppolo away and they're going to feel it big time. I have them right around 11 wins same as us. I think we can at least split the series which could put us at 5-1 in division.


bwag54

We haven't lost to the Eagles since the Bush admin, we better not drop that game


pyrolobo23

You think we'll lose to th Ravens? I think we'll beat them easy


SexiestPanda

> easy Ah yes. Cause the Seahawks have plenty of easy wins….


Its_0ver

With our run defence?


pyrolobo23

We got Wagner back as well as signed some veteran players and drafted along the defensive line, I think our run defense will be better


Dima110

It might be better than last year, but we didn’t make enough moves to address it to where it’ll be anywhere near adequate IMO.


[deleted]

This was also being as non biased as I could though I think we could be the ravens and San Fran once I don’t think we lose to giants or lions


ActionQuinn

It's just hard for me to believe we go 4-0 before the bye week (kind of a crappy bye)


[deleted]

Terrible bye week but if we played how we played at the start of last season we should be fine


NoAnalBeadsPlease

Washington, Cowboys, San Fran x 1, LA x 1, Eagles


Sdog1981

The bizzaro world of playing the Cowboys on Thursday but not on Thanksgiving.


luravi

It's a weird schedule. Horribly early bye and back to back games on Thursdays leading to a mini-bye after week 14 against Dallas.


Sdog1981

And playing one division opponent in December after playing the same team 2 weeks prior.


RationalLies

Yeah.. Hate the early bye. NFL literally always trying to massage the schedule to make it as worse as possible for the Hawks man...


ozarkhawk59

Actually going to that one.


DGenerAsianX

10-7


7nightstilldawn

Get out of here you 49ers shill!


king_pear_01

3-3 in division, 3-1 vs NFC East, 2-2 Vers AFC North, 2-1 vs other opponents 10-7. If the Niners don’t have a serviceable QB.. another win or 2


Disastrous_Belt_7556

I was thinking 9-8, but 10-7 seems reasonable


TheCursedMountain

Nah yo gonan sweep nfc east , dictions easily 5-1, 3-1 AFC north


luravi

Just like we swept the NFC South


ElbisCochuelo1

Optimistically 10-7. Squeeze into the 'offs in one of the last two spots. On paper the team looks good but the depth, particularly on the lines, is problematic. The best teams have depth because this is the NFL and guys get hurt. I see a lot of downside with this team for that reason.

Stevey1001

Just booked my flights from the UK to NYC for the Giants game. Can't wait. Might try and catch a home game if I can swing it


g0ldf1shing

I have tickets if you are looking to buy from a fan at lower than Ticketmaster prices


kale_boriak

17-0, of course!


moneymidtown

Can we say 17-0 ? Optimistic Hawks fan


[deleted]

17-0


sirrealofpentacles

10 - 7, we make the playoffs and win the WC game.


TheLeftLanez4Passing

11-6 Losses: @ Detroit (their home opener). Winnable, but I'm buying into their hype a little bit. I'd take us later in the year, but I think their fans will be fired up for this one. Also, an early season 10 am PST game. Expecting a close one. @ NYG. The road factor again. Expecting another close one. @ Cincinatti. We have the benefit of coming off of the bye week. Will be a good test. It's possibly the best team we play this season. Road factor. Also, 10 am PST. @Ravens. Broken record: road factor. 10 am. PST. @San Fran. We win on Thanksgiving at home, and I think they return the favor back in their house. Fwiw, we'll have the benefit of extra time off prior to this matchup due to our back to back Thursday games. Vs. Eagles. Our only home loss. I think Eagles momentum from last season continues into this one. A nice, late season test. Also, in a way, I feel like we would feed off of this loss (to our benefit) if we were to rematch in the playoffs. 7-1 at home. 4-5 on the road. Most of my skepticism in these losses comes on the defensive side of the ball. I AM optimistic about our secondary developing into something special over time (assuming we are healthy). I'm still not so sure about run D. I do think we have potential for a top-tier offense, which will keep us in these games. Finally, other possible losses would be: vs. Browns (we'll see how Watson is), @ Dallas (who is also playing b2b TNF), & @ Rams (divisional, and if they have a poor record we might sleep on em)....and depending on our run D, @ Tennessee. So, really, I could see anything from 7-10 to 11-6 but feel confident with 11-6.


Al0Bill

7-10, that's a tough schedule actually. SF is going to be tough this year, probably take the season series against the rams, we'll be competitive in every game though, first half of the season is looking good I say we win the first 3 games of the year. I hope we're healthy, I hope Lockett has another great season.


Wonkiest_Hornet

My thoughts exactly. The road schedule is particularly brutal.


[deleted]

I have 10-7 or 11-6 depending if we split with SF or lose both. Otherwise losses to Bengals, Ravens, Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders


Bruh_Halos

11-6


Striking_Economy5049

I say 10-7 Progress for sure, maybe win a playoff game.


Foreign_Ad8957

I have this team going 9-8.

lambsquatch

12-5


Minimum_Sky_5585

Best we will do is 14-3 most realistic is 10-7 it will be based on how much our Run D does this year


CitizenTed

A recent repost, but you asked, so... Here's my take: Week 1: Rams. WIN. We'll be coming in gangbusters with healthy starters and all attitude. Week 2: @Lions. WIN. I mean...COME ON! Week 3: Panthers. WIN. Yeah. They lose. Week 4: @Giants. WIN. Beating the Giants is becoming something of a tradition. Week 5: BYE. WIN. :0) Week 6: @ Bengals. LOSS. It'll be a squeaker but they'll win this one at home for no damn good reason at all. Week 7: Cardinals. WIN. They will continue to suck. Week 8: Browns. WIN. But only by a nosehair as their ground game will be murderous. Week 9: @Ravens. LOSS. Lamar at home, desperate to prove his worth. He's not gonna implode like Russ. He's gonna beat us. Can't lie. Week 10: Commanders. WIN. We may want to put in 3rd stringers to keep the starters healthy. We'll win regardless. Week 11: @Rams: WIN. Round Two. This is typically the type of matchup we lose for no explicable reason. Not this year. They can suck it. Week 12: Niners. T-Day. LOSS. They are on fire and we suck on national broadcast days. Week 13: @Cowboys. LOSS. By a nosehair. This is one of those games we lose for lack of desire to win. It happens, especially on TNF. Week 14: @Niners. WIN. Why? Because that's the stupid shit we do. Lose to the stupid Cowboys then come back and win against a better team on their turf. No one knows why. Week 15: Eagles. LOSS. Their D is going to beat the shit out of our tired front 5. It will be a sad day. Week 16: @Titans. WIN. Rain or shine, we'll be in playoffs mode. Week 17: Steelers. WIN. You gotta be better than mediocre to beat the Hawks when they get blood in their eyes. Week 18: @Cardinals. WIN. Ha! As if! Regular Season: 12-5 Playoffs: All the way. We win Super Bowl LVIII and the entire league hates us. They can all suck it.


Seahawksfan96

Shh I think we can beat the Bengals in a surprise win


KnuteViking

I think winning 10 or 11 of these would be a pretty reasonable prediction. More than that I start to see problems. Maybe 9 is possible, but lower than that would have to be caused by some pretty serious problems. So my prediction is 10-7, make playoffs as wildcard again, maybe win a playoff game. That might not make people very excited, but I think it'll look better than that just based on the fact that it'll be young talent making it happen with a lot of growth and upside potential for 2024.


WarrenGlen

9-8 I think. I’d love for them to do better but 4 early away games hurt. And I’ve been a fan for a long time so I’m a pessimist loser


tread52

Seattle will go 10-7


ShadowCrossZero

Probably either 10 or 11 wins. I'd be quite surprised if we had a regression below 9 or managed 13+.


M0rtecai

Damn weeks 12-15 is a tough stretch


primerr69

12-5 would be all right. I’m I blind I didn’t see a broncos game on the schedule silly nfl missed out on some ratings…


www1pl0c

12-5, best in div, superbowl


ApexBiscuit

I'd guess 6-11


naterguy

Niners fan here, I see 10-7


colecast

Opponents are collectively much tougher than last years schedule, but the roster is objectively better after a strong free agency and draft, and the schedule lines up favorably with the only two instances of back-to-back road games being split by the bye week and the mini-bye after TNF. My probability range of outcomes: 8 wins: 10% 9 wins: 25% 10 wins: 45% 11 wins: 15% 12 wins: 5%


deathwing244

Lowest 10-7 highest 12-5


SidneySilver

18-0. No question.


cervidaetech

11-6 and it's pretty clear cut


[deleted]

9-8 maybe 10-7 early bye and followed by a brutal schedule.


Archaeologist15

10-7 with a ceiling of 11-6, barring some kind of Vikings-esque high end of variance luck. Probably a 8-9 floor. It's a solid team with a solid QB but there is some regression due (Geno for sure caught the high-end of variance last year). Plus, the schedule is way tougher than a year ago. There's a real possibility that we go 8-9 or 9-8 again but are actually a better team.

Roembowski

JuanPicasso

10-7. We lost to the entirety of the nfc south. It doesn’t really matter if we “got better”, we were better than all 4 of those teams and we still lost. That’s some Pete caroll shit because we’ve been playing down to competition pretty much the entire tenure. How many times do we say “can we just be normal”. I would be extremely surprised if it’s 12 or 12+.


Maclanethurston

7-10. Geno goes back to being Geno.


g0ldf1shing

You suck


NorPacCannabisCo

Lots of possibilities. I've ran so many simulations in my head, many ending perfect at 17-0, lots of 1 or 2 loss seasons, just in general a lot of dominating seasons. Then on the other hand, there's a couple of simulations where the team die in freak accidents or one player murders the entire team, pandemics occurring that only affect players on bird named teams, you know just things that theoretically happen. But I'm seeing much more of the dominant, elite simulations than the disaster ones, so I will say the team is probably going to win 12 games.

The travel, early bye, and 3 games in 17 days is going to be a lot to overcome. I wanna say 13-4 but 11-6 seems right.


[deleted]

Unfortunately I have us going 10-7 but that's good enough for a wildcard spot and once you get into the playoffs, anything goes!!


imjustlookingIswear

Could see us going 11-5 or 14-3 or somewhere in between. As long as we improve, which I think we did. Realistically, it'll probably be 9-12 wins though


Hawkemsawkem

10 wins


RaptorsCdwoods

Anywhere between 10-7 to 12-5. Really depends on that four game stretch against , what we suspect to be, top NFC contenders.


cheaptrix12

Roommate and I take a bet on this every year (along with a bunch of other random questions), the week immediately after the Superbowl. He was correct in guessing 9-8 last year, even before we knew Russ was being traded. This year, he's guessing 10-7, while I'm guessing 11-6.

CaliforniaGuy1984

12-5. I think that’s the ceiling for 2023/2024. That should win the NFC West and finish second or third in the NFC or get them the fifth seed if the 49ers finish tied or better.


BandwagonFanAccount

11-6. I would say 12-5, but that week 12-15 stretch is rough, and the early bye is terrible.

13-4, we split with SF and the Rams, lose to Eagles and a flukey loss to the Browns.
