Not quite sure what you're excited about... It's not like the chiefs are going to stand a chance in the playoffs oh and the Raiders are going to be the dominant team in the AFC West for years to come.. It was either superbowl or bust for the Chiefs and their window is pretty much closed at this point.

Russell Wilson's season stats with his NFL rank in brackets:

Comp.%: 68.1 (2nd)
Yards/Attempt: 8.3 (3rd)
TD%: 6.9 (2nd)
INT%: 1.7 (5th)
Rating: 110.1 (1st)

Add in 550 rushing yards on 5.5 YPC too behind the worst pass blocking O-line in the NFL and losing Jimmy Graham midway through the year.

Go ahead and tell yourself Russell Wilson isn't the best QB in football.

Field gulls

-Russell Wilson may not be the best football player on the planet, but there wasn't a human on earth that played better than he did this year. Before spending the fourth quarter snacking on peanut-butter-covered celery and listening to Raffi, Wilson set Seahawks franchise records for yards (4,024), touchdowns (34), and passer rating (110.1). He became the first Seattle QB to throw for 4,000 yards and he did it one season after rushing for 849.

He finished the season with the following numbers, accompanied parenthetically by their NFL ranks-
Completion %: 68.1 (2nd)
Yards Per Attempt (3rd)
Touchdown %: 6.9 (2nd)
Interception %: 1.7 (5th)
TD/INT Rate: 4.25 (2nd)
Passer Rating: 110.1 (1st)

Russell Wilson has had the greatest two-month stretch, statistically speaking, of any QB in history and the result was him becoming the first Seahawks signal-caller to lead the NFL in that category. The Seahawks are now 46-18 under Russell Wilson -- 52-20 if you include playoffs -- which is the most wins in NFL history during a QB's first four seasons. Think about that: since turning the franchise over to a 5'11" rookie quarterback drafted in the third round, they've averaged 13 wins per season. And they're not done. Those 46 regular season wins are exactly twice the amount that Seattle won in the four years immediately preceding Wilson's arrival.

-Doug Baldwin scored a franchise-record 14 touchdowns this season after recording just 15 in his first four. Twelve of Baldwin's TDs came from the slot, which ties him with Randall Cobb for the most touchdowns caught from the slot in a single season since Pro Football Focus started keeping track. Something dramatic changed in the relationship between Wilson and Baldwin this season, as they've been the deadliest QB-to-WR combination in the NFL over the last two months. That connection has also resulted in Seattle going from a mediocre third-down offense to the most lethally efficient one in the NFL since Week 6.

Baldwin's 76% catch rate is #1 in the NFL. I don't know if this hot streak is an outlier or not, I'm just hoping it continues for oh, I don't know, four more games.

-Back in August, I predicted that at some point, Seattle's first two draft picks this season would be Pro Bowlers. Well, it's five months later and thanks to Tyler Lockett, we're halfway there. We've all seen his innate ability to return kicks at an elite level, but becoming a legit NFL wide receiver takes time. Well, it's supposed to at least. Lockett will finish his rookie season with the fourth highest catch rate (74%) of any WR in the league and Wilson absolutely does not hesitate to target him in coverage, which is perhaps the truest sign of a receiver's arrival.

-As mentioned above, Baldwin and Lockett rank 2nd and 4th in the NFL in completion rate when targeted. They are both 5'10". Their quarterback is 5'11". Oh yeah, Jermaine Kearse finished 6th. Just absurd.

-Despite starting four different running back this season, the Seahawks still managed to finish third in rushing yards with 2,268. They have now rushed for more than 2,000 yards in four consecutive seasons.

-This season, the Seahawks lost their All Pro running back to injury. Then they lost their All Pro tight end. Then they lost the NFL's leader in yards per carry. They have four offensive linemen playing their position for the first time. Their top receivers are a 3rd round rookie and a bunch of dudes who weren't drafted. They finished as the 4th highest scoring team in the NFL, despite playing at the fifth slowest pace in the league.

-When Drew Stanton uncorked a fourth down garbage time pass towards the endzone on Arizona's final drive, the result may have seemed innocuous. DeShawn Shead picked that pass off, denying the Cardinals a courtesy touchdown and, more significantly, securing their fourth consecutive season in which they've led the NFL in fewest points allowed. The 277 they gave up this year was a smidgen ahead of the 279 allowed by the Bengals. Four straight years being the best in the world at the thing defenses care about the most.

It's just a reminder that all of our talk regarding the defense falling off this season says a lot more about our expectations than it does of them. Were there some seriously frustrating hiccups along the way? Definitely. Is this defense as good as the 2012-2014 bunch? Probably not. Do they give up more explosive plays? Assuredly so. And yet, 17.3 PPG is the number, and no one is better.

-The Seahawks allowed exactly 1,300 rushing yards this season. That's #1 in the NFL. This is the first time in Carroll's tenure that they've led the league in this category. They outrushed their opponents by 968 yards. Only nine running backs in the league had more than 968 rushing yards.

-The Seahawks pass defense finished with the 5th best passer rating against this season. They're 2nd in pass yards allowed and 4th in yards per pass allowed. Think about where this team was after Week 6.

-Seattle's defense had as many interceptions this year (14) as passing touchdowns allowed. The 14 TDs was the lowest in the NFL.

-Seattle Seahawks defensive ranks:
Rush yards: 1st
Pass Yards: 2nd
Total Yards: 2nd
Scoring: 1st

-The Seahawks finished the year with the 3rd best third-down conversion rate in the NFL and best fourth-down conversion rate. Their defense allowed the 4th lowest third down conversion rate in the NFL and the lowest 4th down conversion rate.

-The final rankings aren't officially out but Seattle will finish as the #1 DVOA team in the NFL for the fourth consecutive year. I've linked to the description but basically, DVOA is a measure of overall performance. The 'Hawks are now the only team in history to win it four years straight.

Look, this is why I wasn't freaking out after last week's loss. It was a weird combination of events that led to a yucky result but I said then what I believe now: that game didn't change anything about this team. Pete Carroll Seahawks are now 14-4 following a loss over the last four seasons, which is just crazy. This team just played the best game of the season and I promise you that they are the last squad any team wants to see rolling into their 'hood come playoff time.

Perhaps most importantly, I don't think there were any major injuries and reinforcements should be arriving shortly. The Seahawks are playing better football than anyone else in the world right now. Who wants some?

This season was also the 8th best DVOA of all time. Even when the Seahawks are "bad", they are really **** good.
