The NFC Is Seriously Sleeping On Your Seattle Seahawks Already, And We've Got Receipts.
Alright 12s, did you catch the chatter this week? Because I sure did, and honestly, my blood pressure went up a notch. We’re barely into the regular season and already, the national guys on NFL Network are asking the big question: "Why are the Seahawks being overlooked in the NFC ahead of 2026?" OVERLOOKED? Are you kidding me? This is the Emerald City, home of the loudest, proudest fans in the league, and we see what’s brewing at Lumen Field. Overlooked is just a fancy way of saying they’re not paying attention, and that’s a mistake they’re gonna regret.
The League Can Sleep, We'll Bring the Noise
Being overlooked isn't new for us, is it? It just gives us more fuel for the fire. The fact that a national show is even *asking* why we’re being dismissed before the season really kicks into gear tells you everything. They're still not getting it. We've got Mike Macdonald leading the charge, and Brian Fleury cooking up plays. While everyone else is busy talking about teams making moves or signing extensions, we're out here stacking wins. This team has heart, has grit, and when that defensive line gets after it, forget about it. Let them underestimate us. We'll let our play do the talking, and trust me, it’s going to be LOUD.

Around the League: Moves and Shakes
Now, while the national talking heads are busy sleeping on our Hawks, other teams around the league are making moves. For example, the Raiders went ahead and signed a third-round rookie this week. Good for them, getting their young guys in the door. And over in the AFC, the Titans made a splash, agreeing to a three-year, $105.8 million extension with their defensive tackle, Simmons. That’s a chunk of change, and a solid commitment from them. Also, out east, the Packers and Cardinals are apparently planning on holding a joint practice. Interesting, I guess. It’s all just background noise though, isn't it? Because at the end of the day, the only thing that matters to us is what’s happening right here in Seattle.
What's Next for Your Hawks
So, what’s next for our Seattle Seahawks? It’s simple: prove them all wrong. We know what this team is capable of. We’re not worried about what some national show is saying; we're focused on the grind, the next snap, and the next chance to show the NFC exactly why overlooking us is the biggest mistake they could make. Keep that 12th Man energy cranked up, because this season, we're not just playing; we're making a statement. We bleed green and blue, and we're ready for whatever comes next. Go Hawks!
