I'm going to ask, why does everyone think Seattle will do so bad?

Alexander's no longer in his prime, neither is Hasselbeck, and their division will be tough this year, they'd be hard pressed to even finish 2nd or even 3rd because I believe that the Cardinals could be a very good team, and they could go late into the playoffs, maybe not this season, but definitely within the next few. The Cardinals need an offensive line because they have a great receiving trio (Boldin, Fitzgerald, Johnson), a very good running back (James), and a young quarterback (Leinart) who could end up being a great quarterback and an experienced quarterback (Warner) who's been to the Super Bowl and could come in if they Leinart has troubles, which I don't believe he will. They also need a pass defense, and their rush D could be better, but wasn't horrible.

Bottom line answer to your question: tough division, Hasselbeck and Alexander getting old, beat-up, and out-of-prime.
