Flying High Easy For Seahawks

Seattle are the immovable object in the center of a twister - they stand firm while change is swirling around them - they are the only team to repeat (playoffs) from last season's NFC bracket which comprises of six teams.

The divisions are changing, perennial winners Philadelphia Eagles are already eliminated and will be lucky to finish 8-8. There will most likely be three new NFL division winners.

There are reasons in the salary-cap era that a team might go from the playoffs to obscurity in the course of one year - often that has to to do with injury - cases in point would be Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Minnesota — who saw their quarterbacks lose a lot of playing time to injuries. St Louis also lost a coach. Then there were the Packers, who surrendered Michael Wahle and Marco Rivera to beat their salary cap issues.

Change is now part of the scenery for the NFL - except maybe the Seahawks..
