NWSB Editor and Insider Chris Anderson gives you his top five performers for the Seattle Seahawks this year. To say the Seattle Seahawks had a somewhat surprising season in 2012 would be an understatement. While they did come into the new year with a youthful roster that was built on potential, many believed the Seahawks would be a middle-of-the-pack 7-9, 8-8, or 9-7 team. Russell Wilson, Earl Thomas, Bobby Wagner, Marshawn Lynch & Richard Sherman make the grade.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us the path for the 6 Seahawks to get into this weekend’s Pro Bowl. Let’s take a look at how these six made it to Hawaii. Russell Okung and Max Unger protected Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch while Earl Thomas led the defense all year long. Leon Washington’s record tying season didn’t hurt, either.
NWSB Editor and Insider talks about the surprise hire of Chip Kelly by the Philadelphia Eagles that has shocked the NFL and college football world. First Chip was headed to Cleveland, then he was going to Philly, then, against almost all the odds, indications were that he was going to remain at Oregon.

Going into the game, the only thing I feared was the Seahawks going into the game flat. I did expect them to make a comeback win; however, I didn’t expect it to be from 14 points down. Too much is being made of the Robert Griffin injury, as it’s not the only reason Seattle came out on top.
NWSB insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Chris Hall gives us his takeaways from Sunday with the postseason matchup against the Washington Redskins in mind. Defense continues to be a team strength, Russell Wilson needs better protection and Golden Tate has to remain a down-field target. Also, having Richard Sherman back should put fans’ minds at ease against Robert Griffin III.
