Over the past five seasons (2017 to 2021), the Seattle Seahawks are a combined 12-19 during the regular season versus teams that made the playoffs that year. That equates to a winning percentage of .387.
Here is the full breakdown:
2017: 2-4 (.333)
2018: 2-4 (.333)
2019: 3-3 (.500)
2020: 2-2 (.500)
2021: 3-6 (.333)
“Woof, woof,” right? I mean that’s pretty damn embarrassing, isn’t it? Never over .500 and only winning one-third of the marquee games in three of the five seasons ...
Oof!
But ... What if I told you that was the 7th-best record in the league over the past 5 seasons?
(I’ll wait while some of you pick your jaws up off the floor.)
...
The Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints are tied for #1 with each team sporting a 17-12 record against playoff teams during the past 5 regular seasons (0.586).
The New England Patriots (15-13, 0.536) are the only other NFL team over .500 during that span.
The Tennessee Titans (16-17, 0.485) are fractionally ahead of the FTRs (15-16, 0.484) who are slightly ahead of the Green Bay Packers (13-15, 0.464).
(AFC teams the better opponent)
Then come our beloved - and recently-beleaguered - Seahawks with their “abysmal” 0.387 winning percentage and “lackluster” 12-19 record.
The other team that we 12s love to hate (the one in Santa Clara) is a fraction back at 0.382 (13-2) while our kid brothers in Glendale, AZ come in just outside the top-10 at #11 overall (11-20, 0.355).
