BALTIMORE — The question hovering around the Seahawks the past few weeks has been whether they are back. It is an understandable sentiment, but let me spin it in a different way: Did the Seahawks ever really go anywhere?
I’m not saying the Seahawks didn’t struggle earlier this season, or that today’s version of the Seahawks was so clearly in sight when they were 2-4 or 4-5. The Seahawks did struggle, and they didn’t look very good doing so.
My point is that this team, actually, is remarkably consistent with what coach Pete Carroll’s teams have done in Seattle.
