Seattle Seahawks Tickets, 2009 Seattle Seahawks Schedule

Information

Seattle Seahawks information, The Seattle Seahawks are currently members of the NFC West division, as they were when they first entered the league in 1976. After the 1st season, however, the Seahawks switched places with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and joined the AFC West. They would remain in the AFC for 26 years until 2002 when the NFL realigned the divisions due to the increasing number of franchises. The Seahawks were once again added to the NFC West making them the only team in history to switch conferences twice.

In their 30 year history, the Seahawks have made the playoffs seven times and have advanced to the Super Bowl only once. That appearance was in Super Bowl XL when they were defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Seattle has won the AFC West division twice and the NFC West division twice. They are also the only team in history to have played in a conference championship game for both the NFC and AFC. The Seahawks have had some Hall of Fame players on their roster over the years. They include: Carl Eller, Franco Harris, Steve Largent, Warren Moon, and Jerry Rice. Of those players, Steve Largent is the most recognized by the Seahawk faithful as he played his entire career (aside from three preseason games) in Seattle. He was a pro-bowler seven times and is a member of the 1980's All-Decade Team (also a former member of the House of Representatives).

The Seahawk fans are some of the most devoted and recognized in the NFL; they are nick-named "The Twelfth Man." This name came about because of the noise level the fans are able to create in the stadium when the opposition has the ball. The team has even retired the number 12, in dedication to the fans. The 2008 Seahawks failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2003. They finished the regular season with a 4-12 record, landing them at 3rd place in the NFC West division. Matt Hasselbeck is eager to start the 2009 season at QB with hopes of getting his team back in the playoffs. Julius Jones will again find himself at the halfback position, after finishing last year with 698 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns while averaging 4.4 yards a carry. Owen Schmitt is expected to compete with Justin Griffith for the starting fullback role this season.
