Seahawks vault up FO's DVOA rankings

Football Outsiders weekly DVOA rankings are always worth a read, especially when the Seahawks are doing well.
The statistics are unambiguously positive. Seahawks vaulted up from #21 in total DVOA to #14, with a middle-of-the-pack offense (#17) and defense (#12) . Our DAVE is 14 which needs to be higher, but considering these stats are over the entire season including 3 stinkers, this isn't bad at all.
What surprised me most was our schedule; according to FO, our first 5 games were against middle-of-the-pack teams (18th), but we have the easiest remaining schedule of all teams.
Also Jacksonville is now the least consistent team in DVOA on a week-to-week basis. Go figure.

Strength of Schedule
Most notable is the upcoming schedule strength. DVOA thinks the ’Hawks have the easiest remaining schedule, by a long shot.
With a soft schedule and their QB back, the ’Hawks have a chance to get back into this thing. Good.
Yes.
Assuming we stay relatively healthy, this regular season is going right down to the wire. I can see three teams in the NFC West going 8-8, 9-7.
Arizona, to me, looks like the primary threat, which mitigates our early loss to SF. Also, Arizona’s loss to SF, at home, is a big help.
If we can just get ANY breaks at LT, this team could seriously do some damage.
I feel when Seattle is healthy
They can hang with any team anywhere. When not healthy, we could lose to the Rams.
I feel when Seattle is healthy
they can hang with any team at home. Our road record since 2005 doesn’t justify saying anymore.
what you do now, round eye?
