NFL Power Rankings: Seahawks sit above Super Bowl champs - NFL.com
RANK 1
SEAHAWKS
Seattle is the new old No. 1. The Jimmy Graham trade certainly put this team a few nautical miles north of interesting. Now the pass rush could be bolstered if John Schneider can land Greg Hardy -- unless the Cowboys snag him first. Heck, Michael Bennett and Hardy would be quite the duo, and Bennett could teach him how to jump offsides as efficiently as he does -- unless, of course, Bennett ends up heading elsewhere. Meanwhile, the biggest move the Seahawks made -- and why they are at the top of these rankings -- was keeping Marshawn Lynch in house. He is truly a difference-maker, a modern-day John Riggins. Between him and Graham, who do you defend from the 1-yard line? Ricardo Lockette, of course.
RANK 23
49ERS
Imagine becoming a full-time, bona fide NFL head coach for the first time, and then in your first month on the job, watching your roster slowly come apart. Patrick Willis is done. Justin Smith is likely to follow him out the door. Frank Gore is gone. One of the best guards in football in Mike Iupati is gone. Both starting corners from last year have peaced out. And now Chris Borland retires. Although, in his case, I applaud the courage it takes to quit something you love, and to have the confidence to pursue something else. No matter what, Tomsula is fielding a weaker team today than Jim Harbaugh did in December. That's why it is so important that the Torrey Smith and Darnell Dockett signings, as well as the draft in April, work out for the franchise.

Now there are rumors surfacing about Bennett to the Falcons for Julio Jones....
Keep in mind, it's just a rumor. Would be nice to have Jones, though.

That would eliminate our pass rush completely though. Which has been a weakness of ours. I dunno though Baldwin and Kearse CANNOT be our entire offense its been pretty solidly proven these past years. When Russell is trying to target these guys it looks terrible how he has to scramble and lob a pass up, each play is like a prayer, cause those guys couldn't get open if even 75% of a person is covering them let alone a double team. So its a huge tradeoff, big offensive boost and a big loss on defense.
This trade goes through... I think itd be pretty clear we're preparing for the loss of Marshawn and moving to a faster paced more pass oriented offense

I disagree, it looked like poor play because Lane went down and Avril went down, allowing Bennett to be contained with constant double teams. Not to mention Kam was injured and so was Sherman and Earl Thomas, with injuries that end peoples seasons. They still carried us to within a yard of winning, it was the offense who blew it. It's 50/50 not 75/25
