I think 6-10 or 7-9 is very possible this year, and you're right, the offense will be their strength. If Wilson goes down, they are in deep, deep trouble.
No one but it's about mitigating the risk. All teams know they'll be effected one way or another. Those that do the best to mitigate it stay competitive.
This will solve Seattle's problems. Just look what he did in Indy.
Most teams are in trouble without their starting QB. Eyeball test does put them around 7-9 for me but Wilson could definitely elevate them to something like 10-6.
Of course, but they're one of the few teams that doesn't have a pro-level backup on the roster.
Pro-level backup is a bit of a weird term.
I might be. Alex McGough might replace Austin Davis for all I know
But the Chiefs have an offense with an established RB and a fantastic OL, along with a powerful defense. Seattle has none of these things, so it's far more important that Wilson stays healthy.
Powerful D is a bit antiquated. They just finished 30th in DVOA and 32nd if weighted. They'll be better this year I'd imagine with the additions and the draft, but I'd be ecstatic if they're average with the O they have. They certainly have some enticing pieces, but I would pump the brakes for a while. This is a team who projects to have their outside CB's be Steven Nelson and David Amerson right now.
