The Seattle Seahawks went into the bye week at 3-3 http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/k.j.-wright-jersey-authentic , which I think was a reasonable record given four road games to open the season. The post-bye five-game stretch looks even more difficult, however, and many people felt that the Seahawks would need to win at least three of those games in order to stay ahead in any postseason wild card races as they enter a December with four home games.One of those difficult-to-win games looked to be the 10 AM road start against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, and Seattle made it look easy, beating the Lions 28-14 to improve to 4-3. If you marked this road game as an L, it’s time to re-mark it and re-think the Seahawks fortunes as they head back home for a game against the LA Chargers.Seattle’s next four: vs Chargers, at LA Rams, vs Green Bay Packers (Thursday Night), at Carolina Panthers. If the Seahawks win their home games during that stretch, they’ll go into December at 6-5. If they win their home games and pull a road upset Womens Shaquill Griffin Jersey , make it 7-4. The task after that: vs San Francisco 49ers, vs Minnesota Vikings (MNF), at 49ers, vs Kansas City Chiefs (possibly already locked up the number one seed in the AFC), vs Arizona Cardinals.The 49ers and Cardinals are both 1-6 as they prepare to face off against one another in Week 8’s afternoon slate.As far as the standings go at the moment, the Seahawks remain on the outside-looking-in as the Panthers improved to 5-2 with an easy win over the Baltimore Ravens. That’s concerning for two reasons: It gives Carolina a one-game advantage over Seattle, four weeks before they host them, and it means that the Panthers are likely a pretty good team given that the Ravens are thought to be a pretty good team. However, the Packers play the Rams in the Week 8 afternoon schedule and a loss would drop them to 3-3-1, moving them behind the Seahawks if that were the case.The Lions dropped to 3-4 based on their loss to Seattle Youth Doug Baldwin Jersey , while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 3-4 following a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals; the Bucs benched starting quarterback Jameis Winston, further emphasizing their internal problems as they’ve lost four of their last five. The Chicago Bears improved to 4-3 though and while the Seahawks had an advantage over the Bears last week (multiple teams were 3-3, overriding some tiebreak scenarios), head-to-head, Chicago will have the advantage since they beat Seattle in Week 2.All the Seahawks can worry about though is how they do and this week they did quite well. Better than most expected.Report: Seahawks lowered trade price for Earl Thomas prior to broken leg Earl Thomas’ Seattle Seahawks career likely came to a sad end on Sunday, when the future hall-of-fame safety fractured his leg defending what proved to be a game-tying touchdown pass from Arizona Cardinals QB Josh Rosen to Chad Williams. The aftermath that is being heavily talked about is Thomas’ subsequent middle finger that was seemingly aimed towards the Seahawks sideline.Throughout this entire offseason and into the regular season, we’ve had to endure discussion over whether or not Seattle would trade Thomas, who had held out up until the season opener, hoping for a major contract extension that he obviously never received. The Dallas Cowboys were the primary team in the headlines in Earl Thomas trade talks, and the Kansas City Chiefs soon emerged as a potential suitor. Reports had the Seahawks demanding multiple second-round picks for Thomas prior to the injury http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/bradley-mcdougald-jersey-authentic , and now in a report that is totally moot at this point, it looks like Seattle had lowered its asking price and the Chiefs were making a real push to land ETIII.Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport:“The Seahawks from what I understand were actually moving toward trading Earl Thomas. This injury comes as bad news not just for the Seahawks, but the Kansas City Chiefs as well. We’ve known for sometime that the Cowboys were in the mix, that essentially ended before the season. The Kansas City Chiefs though had not stopped the pursuit.“From what I’m told, the Seahawks wanted two second-round picks, actually lowered their price to one second-round pick,” he continued. “The Kansas City Chiefs were then in the process of freeing up some money, creating salary cap space to make room for Thomas’ $8.5 million salary. This is something, from what I understand, that likely would’ve happened and Earl Thomas would’ve been a member of the Kansas City Chiefs Womens Jarran Reed Jersey , he just needed more time. [...] As far as the other parts of this trade, the Chiefs have a lot of really good players doesn’t sound like an extension for Thomas would’ve been in the cards, but believes the Chiefs would’ve had a really good rental, and the Seahawks would’ve gotten a solid draft pick.”In the end, Thomas obviously won’t be traded, his financial situation is drastically changed regardless of where he plays next year (if he does want to keep playing), and the Seahawks still don’t have a 2019 second-round pick as a result of the Duane Brown trade.
