Bring on the 12

Who'da thunk it: an off-season Seahawks post before a Spring Training post. Oh, but it's juicy.

Just announced were the Hawks' opponents for the 2007 season. There's a home and an away for each of the NFC west - Arizona, San Francisco, St. Louis. Of course. Then, there's the others:

Home, in front of the loudest fans in the world: Baltimore Ravens (lost in Divisional playoffs), Chicago Bears (lost miserably in the Super Bowl), Cincinnati Bengals (failed to make playoffs, lost their driver's licenses), New Orleans Saints (lost in NFC Championship), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (lost to Seattle on final day of the season).

Away: Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers.

There are some definite scores to settle . . . I'm looking at you, Chicago and Pittsburgh. Bring it on.
