Best Offensive Player:

QB Matt Hasselbeck, RB Shaun Alexander, WR Darrell Jackson - This trio makes the Seahawks offense very difficult to defend.

Pivotal Offensive Player:

QB Matt Hasselbeck
Hassellbeck has struggled on the road this year. Since the Seahawks will most likely be playing all their post-season games on the road, he must turn this trend around.

Pivotal Defensive Player:

CB Marcus Trufant
The rookie has played fantastic football in his first season, and he's going to have to continue doing it against some good passing offenses in the NFC playoffs.

Strength:

The Seahawks biggest strength is a balanced attack on offense. They can run or throw the ball equally well, making it impossible for defenses to key on either aspect of the game.

Weakness:

Seattle is 27th in the league against the pass this season.

Overview:

The Seahawks have the weapons to stay with any team in the league, but against other good offenses, they are probably going to have to win a shootout. Their defense is below average and as a team, they struggle on the road. I just don't see this team going anywhere in the playoffs.
