The Seahawks have won three of their last four games. Pete Carroll fist pumps for everyone!

Click here for the Monday Night Quarterback podcast.

We had some great discussions last night during our Monday Night Quarterback show on Sportsradio KJR (950 AM and 102.9 FM). Included was a question pondering how your expectations have changed as the Seahawks have improved this season.

So, let's ask the question in this space. Fill in the blank: I will be satisfied with the Seahawks if they end the season ___________.

Obviously, we're wondering about win and losses, but we left the question open ended for you to offer whatever answer you'd like. At the end of this post, I will present this to you in a poll, and if you have more to add, please feel free to hit the comments section.

The Seahawks are 5-7 with four games remaining, and their trend of competitive play should continue. They host St. Louis (2-10) on "Monday Night Football. Then they travel to play Chicago (7-5), which is missing quarterback Jay Cutler and running back Matt Forte. On Christmas Eve, they host San Francisco (10-2), whose best player, linebacker Patrick Willis, is nursing a hamstring strain. And in the season finale, the Seahawks visit Arizona (5-7), a quickly-improving team much like the Seahawks.

There should be a few more victories in this final cluster of games, if the Seahawks stay healthy enough (which is becoming a concern). The way the Seahawks are playing right now, I wouldn't be surprised if they won three of four. I think I'm expecting two of four. Winning all four is asking a lot. That would mean the Seahawks closed on a five-game winning streak. I don't think they're that good or that consistent just yet. Of course, if they did win out, they'd be firmly in the discussion for the NFC's final playoff spot.

OK, OK. I won't go that far. One game at a time ...

But go ahead and tell me what would be a satisfactory finish.
