There are reasons to be excited. Not about a loss but about where the team can  go under a new regime. 

1. A lot of weapons on offense and, at least, the pass blocking looks pretty good.
2. A defense that flies around aggressively and puts pressure on the QB.
3. A HC that is firmly planted in 21st Century NFL football. 

Sure, a lot of players are the same. You can't turn over a roster in year 1. 
Sure, they didn't do what the Rams did in FA and with some Coordinators but the team isn't owned by the Rams owner. 
Sure, while Dalton threw the ball all around, he didn't really pull it out in the end this time. 
Sure, the defense gave up a couple big plays and the offense failed to convert on several opportunities.

Bottom line is; this isn't the same team as last year in a lot of respects so fans need to find a way to reboot their brains, roll with a new coaching staff and a new philosophy and see where it takes us. Seattle is a ***** of a place to open the season with a new, 1st year HC. There are going to be a lot of fun, winning game this year as long as key guys stay healthy.
