QUEST FOR A DYNASTY

The Seattle Seahawks enter 2014 on one mission, to become the first back to back champions since the '03-'04 Patriots, and look to establish this decades NFL dynasty. They bring back almost all the pieces from their championship team last year, and being the youngest team in the league, those pieces only figure to get better. Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, and Kam Chancellor are already the best in the game at their positions. How much better can Russell Wilson get? Can he take his place among the Brady, Manning, Brees, Rodgers hierarchy? These are questions that he will have to answer this year, as those 4 QB's and their respective teams will all be looking to knock the Seahawks off the top. Oh and don't forget about the team to the south lurking down in the bay. The 49ers of San Francisco still have a sour taste in their mouths of how last season ended, and will also be on a season long quest to take back what they feel is their's. It should be another outstanding year of football in the Emerald City.

Seattle Seahawks 2014 Schedule
DATE	OPPONENT	RESULT
Aug 7	at Denver Broncos
Aug 15	vs San Diego Chargers
Aug 22	vs Chicago Bears
Aug 28	at Oakland Raiders

The schedule makers sure have a sense of humor don't they? Being as it's the first preseason game, and the two teams play each other in week 3, it's hard to imagine either team showing too much of their hands in this one, but one can't help but think the Broncos will want to gain a little measure of confidence, and feel like they can at least occupy the same field as the Seahawks, as for the rest of the schedule, a clash with the Chicago Bears is sandwiched in between two games against former AFC West foes in the Chargers, and Raiders.

As with most teams who win the Superbowl, the main starters are pretty much all back from last year. Eric Winston has been brought in to fill the void left by Breno Giaciomini, while Derrick Coleman steps in for the retired Mike Robinson at Fullback. Jermaine Kearse, and Doug Baldwin should fill the spot left by Golden Tate, while rookies Paul Richardson, and Kevin Norwood fight to fill out the depth chart. On defense the Seahawks return all eleven starters from last season, and will have rookies and veterans duking it out to take their own places in the legion of boom.
