And this means "We're screwed" ?

Don't worry the male cheerleaders will also be the flight attendants so the guys won't be exhausted after the flights like they were after mile high clubbing with female flight attendants.

Look at the crummy teams in the 29-32 range. Maybe they should schedule flights with several stopovers.

What else is new? West Coast teams have the most travel miles every year. Even if the Seahawks road games were the 8 closest NFL teams, they would still do...

SF (2X) 678 = 1356
LA (2X) 959 = 1918
Phx = 1,114
Denver = 1021
KC = 1506
Minn = 1395

Total = 8485 - Times 2, just in case they want to get home too. 16,970

That's the absolute least travel distance the Seahawks could have. Still more than half of the teams this year.

Yep, geography isn't new or negotiable......

Don't they have chartered flights? Can't be that stressful.

Also most of the travel time isn't in the air. From front door of my house to a hotel in NJ or Manhattan is about a 10 hour trip. From the from door door of my house to a hotel in Phoenix is about an 8 hour trip. It's not a big deal.

I can just imagine getting the middle seat on an Alaska airlines flight between two offensive linemen.
Poor guys would take two days just to get the cramps out after a cross country flight.

It's not like they are flying coach.
