Seahawks near bottom of Football Outsiders’ watchability ‘fun index’

The Seattle Seahawks have undergone major changes this offseason, dealing their franchise quarterback to the Denver Broncos and releasing longtime defensive superstar Bobby Wagner, who promptly signed with the division-rival Los Angeles Rams.

Seattle did have a successful NFL draft, but the rookie additions may not have an immediate impact this season.

All that being said, will the Seahawks be enjoyable for fans to watch this year?

Not according to Football Outsiders, who recently ranked all 32 clubs based on their “fun index.” The Seahawks scored a mere 3.5, landing them at No. 26 overall in the league.

“Watching the Seahawks will be like going out for beers to cheer up a recently separated pal,” writes Mike Tanier. “‘Uh-uh, he started drinking before I got here. Oh no, he’s straight-up asking a barmaid his daughter’s age out. Maybe we should go get some coffee, buddy? Please stop sobbing.”

“Drew Lock, in this metaphor, is the Tinder date who is just using the Seahawks for a free dinner.”

Well, none of this sounds particularly exciting, but this is only one man’s opinion.

Single-game tickets are now on sale, so you can find out the Seahawks’ fun factor for yourself.
