The Seahawks are in first place in the NFC West, they’re in line for the No. 2 seed in the playoffs and they look ready to make a deep postseason run for the first time in eight years. Following Seattle’s win over the Browns at Lumen Field, the team stands at 5-2 and appears to be one of the league’s true contenders this season.
Seahawks players are of course thrilled. As for the fans, their reactions have been a little bit more mixed. While some are feeling a Super Bowl run, others are not feeling too convinced by what was a very close game. Here’s what the 12s are tweeting after Sunday’s win.
Victory Monday mood! #GoHawks #Seahawks pic.twitter.com/YWsJSq2fQA

the problem with #Seahawks #throwback uniforms is we are never going to be happy with anything else #NFL

It’s embarrassing that a game v the Browns was so close…#Seahawks

I think @Seahawks fans need to remember this is the fifth youngest team in the NFL. They’re going to make mistakes and frustrate you which they did for much of today. But, wow! What a win. Teams talk about building off a win. Today’s game was that kind of win. pic.twitter.com/5KuV6yK4zv

I don’t know what has happened to this fanbase. They have become miserable refusing to enjoy the little moments, the stepping stones this team takes, growing with the team and most importantly relishing a win! #Seahawks . https://t.co/CK4smBUm9H

There is no accountability other than no playoffs for the officials. They should be fined for their blatant incompetence. Horrible calls in the @Seahawks game nearly cost us a game!! #Seahawks https://t.co/qN0RVjiZ6u

#IDontWantToOverreactBUT the #Seahawks are going on a Super Bowl run, Seahawks defense is young and playing out of their minds, JSN is going to start shredding defenses, K9 and Charbornett are becoming a ELITE duo, 2nd in the NFC behind the FRAUD eagles, we going for 1st in NFC

#Seahawks second Half D didn’t give up a TD against the Giants, Bengals and Browns. What is crazier is our second half Offence has been filled with 3 and outs and turnovers in that period. The D has shown serious grit when they’ve been kept on the field!

I’m done with y’all holdin Geno to an unrealistic standard. Especially Seattle fans, it’s pathetic. No one talks about the impeccable, elite throws he makes in clutch situations. Most notably, the touchdown to Lockett and JSN today. GIVE THE MAN HIS CREDIT @GenoSmith3 #Seahawks

The most impressive part of the #Seahawks game last night.
Myles Garrett was a non factor in the game (bar one sack). A terrific performance from the OLine yesterday.

Geno writing his own incredible story. A staple of studs in the RB corp. Same with the WR’s, an eclectic range of elite talent and skills. A physical, hungry, fast, nasty D. Pete and John making it work again… AND they do this. Yes, “I’m in” like always. Go #Seahawks! #GoHawks https://t.co/aBTodaZILu

Spot on, if Geno wasn’t forced to throw 37 times against the number one defense in the NFL when the run was working early it probably wouldn’t even be a discussion. Especially because in many statistics Geno’s not an issue whatsoever behind a patchwork OL. Go #Seahawks! #GoHawks
— Zeke (@ZekeDaHefe) October 30, 2023
Incredible! Never expected this at the start of the season. Despite the wins, #Seahawks have some serious issues. 5 giveaways in the last two games. Too many critical penalties. Poor third down performance on both sides of the ball. Hope they can tighten up down the stretch.

VERY lucky Metcalf wasn't called for holding on that play. Anyway, it may not have been a pretty win, but we'll take it. They managed to get it done when it counted the most! Who da thunk, at this point in the season, that the #Seahawks would be #1 in the NFC West? 😀👍💪
— Daniel Bastaja (@kupac1) October 30, 2023
5-2 and Geno looks nowhere near as good as last year. Building nicely #Seahawks #12s #GoHawks
— Taylor Gurney (@TaylorGurney7) October 30, 2023
My initial thought about how the #Seahawks can beat the Ravens, is they have to get Frank Clark up to speed. 3years of watching Darrel Taylor not be able to maintain contain on read options. For the Ravens, that alone is enough to win a game.
— Taylor (@Taylor_Bauer11) October 30, 2023
#Seahawks are 5-2 and in first place in the #NFCWest! Defense looks primed to outperform the one ranked #1 in #NFL.#CLE backup QB P.J. Walker played better than Geno Smith, and it's been a few weeks. @SeattleSports
That is again… fine? Tell me how to feel. What a whirled.
— X-FCTR (@SEA_SportsFCTR) October 30, 2023
i want to say this is convincing but the offense needs to pick it up. can’t be relying to score on the first drive every game than go missing after. other than that, LFG SEAHAWKSSSS #Seahawks ( i almost had 5 heart failures today tho)

Devon Witherspoon is one of the best corners in the NFL, in 5 games he has:
31 tackles
2 tfl's
2 sacks
1 int.
1 td
8 pd's (tied 5th)This is a rookie corner that some thought went to high, glad Seattle got him #Seahawks #NFL
— Seahawks (5-2) (@scaryseahawk) October 30, 2023
My heart rate during the @Seahawks game today. You can see the spike when we scored early, followed by the pit of despair when we fell behind, followed by the spike when we scored again right at the end and won. Who needs cardio when one has #Seahawks games? #GoHawks pic.twitter.com/UiguxMlIdo
