The Seahawks just took their first L of the 2026 season, dropping a stunner against the Washington Commanders last week, but don’t tell the 12s to panic: nearly 75 percent of you still expect a winning October, with three or four Ws on the horizon. That kind of confidence, especially after a surprising loss, shows exactly why this fanbase is different.
That Washington Stunner and Why We’re STILL Confident
Yeah, last week was a punch to the gut, losing our first game of the year to the Commanders. It was definitely a big surprise, right? But let’s be real, the stats tell a story here: we turned the ball over three times and couldn’t force a single one ourselves. Take away those mistakes, and we probably walk away with that game pretty easily. Still, a loss is a loss, and we can’t ignore that it was against an inferior team. The reality hits, and we absolutely can’t afford to take the winless Los Angeles Chargers lightly this coming week. Even with that kick to the groin, Seattle fans are locked in. A massive 86 percent of us still feel confident the team is headed in the right direction. That’s not just blind faith; it’s a belief in what we’ve seen, even through a tough outing.
Get Ready For a ‘Former AFC West Rivalry’ Gauntlet
Now, buckle up, because October is about to get wild. The level of competition is about to crank up big time. After the Chargers, we’re staring down the San Francisco 49ers, the Denver Broncos, and the Kansas City Chiefs. Talk about a wicked gauntlet for those final three games! It’s almost like a “Former AFC West Rivalry” month, facing three teams from our old division. And guess what? Both the Denver and Kansas City matchups are prime time affairs, bringing that national spotlight right to us. Oh, and get this: the Broncos game is featuring double throwback jerseys. How cool is that for a dose of nostalgia during what’s already set to be a pivotal month?
If our win total for October matches what the fans are expecting, hitting those three or four victories, this is going to be an absolutely thrilling month. We’re talking major statements made. The Chargers are up next in Week 4, and the 12s are expecting nothing less than a bounce back. Let’s make this October one for the books!
