The Brief: The 2019 Seattle Seahawks are looking to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2014. Can Russell Wilson lead them there or will we spend the season memeing the Seahawks' failures?

DEEP DIVE
Seahawks memes have had a lot to celebrate in regards to the Seattle team this season.
QB Russell Wilson is off to the best start of his career in 2019, despite head coach Pete Carroll’s insistence on being a run-first team. Thankfully for them, RB Chris Carson has also been off to a hot start.
This meme shows “actual footage” of Carson trucking over a former teammate.

WR Doug Baldwin retired in the offseason and the Seahawks drafted DK Metcalf to replace him. Seahawks meme-makers were on board with the move.

Just before the regular season began, the Seahawks made a big trade for DE Jadeveon Clowney.

The Texans fired their General Manager before the season and many Seahawks memes thought the team took advantage of the situation.

Wilson himself was thrilled to welcome Clowney to the Seahawks.
Me: So you telling me you’re not chasing me anymore? @ClowneJD : “Nah bro…all other QBs”
Me: okay we’re cool we’re cool.. 😎

Wilson prepared for the 2019 season by hiring a meme director of his own. That means franchise QB generated Seahawks memes!

Russell Wilson narrowly missed becoming a Seahawks meme for the ages when Carson almost dropped a game-winning TD.
Brian Schottenheimer pointed out that Russell Wilson never saw Chris Carson bobble the game-winning touchdown.
"We've been teasing him about it. He would have been a meme forever (had Carson dropped it)."

Young TE Will Dissly flashed early on but was lost for the season to an Achilles injury. The team then decided to bring back former player Luke Willson.

Tyler Lockett was one “Smooth Criminal” making the catch of the season wearing those highlighter colored kits.
