JFC Colts, way to build some momentum going into the playoffs.

Just be glad Danny White wasn't playing. It would've been 84-7.

OK, so why are all the TV analysts saying the Seahawks have the inside track for home-field advantage? Seattle & Dallas have the same record and Dallas beat Seattle. Am I missing something here?

GB/DET are both 11-4 and play next week. So if SEA/DAL/GB or DET finish 12-4, the tiebreaker is conference record and SEA wins it.

Also, Beast Quake 2.0 for those who missed it:

Oh wow, less than 1 ppg difference, whereas Seattle is significantly better in every other statistical category.

Only thing that matters is scoring

The calls they made in Seattle's favor made up for the non-calls that should've gone against SF. Quit your crying, and get ready to watch Seattle's tune-up game in the same stadium they'll be playing at in February (kind of like last year @NYG).

Non calls. Lol


Our house. You lose. The real 12th Man will be there

At least you were half right.

OK, I figured it out. Three-way ties require someone to be 2-0 or 0-2 to do the head-to-head tiebreaker. Dallas would be 1-0, Seattle 1-1, and Green Bay 0-1, so that would be skipped (Detroit didn't play either Seattle or Dallas).

Dallas is playing better on the road anyway. Perhaps not getting one of the top two seeds is best for them.

No need to watch, I'll take Seattle (+7) in any game they play in the playoffs.

Think you mean (-7). They'll be favored in any home game they play so they'll have to give 7 points to the other team for betting purposes.

I would take Green Bay over Seattle.

At Lambau-sure. In Seattle-nope.

[93henfan]

I'd take Green Bay over Seattle anywhere, except Buffalo.

GB can't handle physical, blanket coverage defenses, as Buffalo, Detroit and Seattle have shown this year, and SF the last couple years in the playoffs.

[GannonFan]

It's Seattle's to lose. I don't see Green Bay winning in Seattle either. Maybe it's Tom Brady's turn to turn to jelly in the Super Bowl like Manning did last year when playing the Seahawks.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Um… no. The Packers still can't stop the run. The only reason they have the record they do is because they haven't played very many good running teams.

[VictorG]

Unfortunately I have to agree. I do not see GB beating Seattle IN Seattle....If they get close I'm sure the refs will having something they can pull...AGAIN!!!

Considering the Hawks have the most penalties again, you're right, the refs may pull something in favor of GB.

Well since Jon isn't going to revisit this thread to eat his crow, I think I'll leave this here for gatw.

Well, congrats to Wilson, though comparing his early career to Manning's is rather dumb considering that Wilson inherited a mmuuucchhh better situation than Manning did.

Hopefully the Rams won't break his legs like they try to do to everyone else.

That is Andrew Luck.

Amazing what having Marshawn Lynch and the league's best defense will do for ya, huh?

Huh, really? I guess I should've looked at the number. The face does kinda look like Peyton with the mouthpiece in and all.

OK, I can accept Wilson being better than Luck. That's not even a profound statement, really—it's kinda like saying that Doug Flutie is better than Ken O'Brien. I wouldn't put it past Seattle fans to claim he's better than Peyton, though.

Actually it's more like saying Eli is better than Peyton because he has more rings.

Except Luck isn't Peyton, not even close. I used the O'Brien example because, like Luck, he was solid but nowhere near great.
