The 2016 Seattle Seahawks felt like they were close to turning the corner and becoming a great team again. It also felt like they were close to a complete collapse.

In retrospect the 2016 season doesn’t look like one to focus on, it looks transitional, a sign of things to come. Over the season the Seahawks were on the edge of something else, but I’m not sure what.

On the edge of greatness?

On the edge of disaster?

2016 didn’t feel like a year where the Seahawks would make it to the SuperBowl, or when the team would collapse, Cardinals style, to a losing season; it felt like a season between more significant seasons. While looking backward we can only look forward, and see what this season indicates for the future.
