Twelve straight wins, including a Super Bowl victory, have the Emerald City buzzing, and heading into Week 3 of the 2026 season, Seahawks fans are feeling unbelievably good.
The Confidence Is Sky-High, But What About That 4%?
Listen, after taking down the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2, our Hawks officially set a franchise record with a ridiculous twelve straight wins, including a Super Bowl championship. You really think anyone in Seattle is feeling anything but hyped right now? Of course not! A staggering 96 percent of surveyed Seahawks fans are absolutely confident the team is headed in the right direction. When you’re winning like this, especially after a Super Bowl, that kind of overwhelming positive sentiment just makes total sense. The momentum is real, and the Emerald City can feel it.
But honestly, who are those four percent? Are they just hitting the wrong button on the survey, like I’ve done a time or two? Maybe they’re just cautiously optimistic, which, okay, I get a little. We *do* have some injury news: starting safeties Ty Okada and Julian Love are both sidelined for the Commanders game. And right guard Anthony Bradford is on injured reserve, too. That’s a hit to the lineup, no doubt. But the *great* news? Quarterback Sam Darnold is back this week, ready to lead the charge. Plus, backups Christian Haynes and Beau Stephens already looked seriously promising against the Cardinals. So really, what’s got those few outliers worried about the future of this team?
Hawks Fans Ain’t Just Predicting a Win, They’re Calling a ROUT
Now, let’s talk about this weekend. The Hawks are walking into the Commanders game as heavy favorites against Marcus Mariota’s squad. So, what’s the 12s’ take on the outcome? Not shocking at all, the overwhelming majority of polled Seahawks fans think we’re gonna take care of business. And get this: 89 percent believe the team will win by at least 9 points! Even crazier, a massive 36 percent are calling for an absolute blowout, a victory of 17 or more points. That’s some serious conviction right there.
Only a measly six percent of fans even think the Commanders could pull off an upset in our house, or really, anywhere against this team. When you factor in that incredible 12-game winning streak, Sam Darnold’s return to the field, and the general confidence soaring through the roof, it’s no wonder the entire national media seems to be onboard with Seattle’s winning ways. We’re not just expecting a W; we’re expecting a dominant statement against Mariota and the Commanders.
With Sam Darnold back under center and the 12s expecting nothing less than a dominant performance, this Commanders game isn’t just about another win. It’s about validating that sky-high confidence and proving that our record-breaking streak and Super Bowl title were just the beginning. Let’s show the league why the Emerald City is buzzing like never before, loud and proud!
