I just read Don Banks' recent column, Teams hoping to avoid 0-2 starts. In the column, based on the well-known stat that teams that start 0-2 rarely make the playoffs (19 in the past 18 seasons), he highlighted the "top eight, ranked in terms of their sense of urgency." Now, I'll grant that the Seahawks a 50% chance of not getting named, but really, how do they get left out of that list? Houston? Minnesota? Tampa? Those are the compelling stories? It'll look even worse when I list the seven other 0-1 teams that didn't get listed: Bengals, Lions, Chiefs, Dolphins, Raiders, 49ers, Rams. Donnie Banks, come on now. The Seahawks are not in the same boat as those teams.
I'm not sure if the Seahawks have been judged to be too boring (nationally) to comment about, or if they literally just get forgotten, but it just rams home the point that the Seattle teams just get forgotten.
