The Seahawks pretty hovered in the same spot according to national power rankings during their bye week, with a high ranking of 21 per Pro Football Weekly, and a low of 26 from SBN's own Joel Thorman. 

When looking at statistical analysis, Advanced NFL Stats still has the Seahawks ranked dead last in the NFL. Football Outsiders numbers don't paint such a grim picture, with Seattle ranking 25th in Total DVOA; 25th in Total DAVE, 29th in total offense, 13th in total defense, and 30th in special teams. To me, FO's rankings seem pretty accurate.

Here's what everyone else thinks. --

SBNation.com - 26 (26) Joel Thorman: "What does this team do well? They seem so average across the board."
