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.
A place to bury strangers.

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.

Arizona also has an easy upcoming schedule,
so we better win this game..

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?
