OT(Sorta): Can Seattle Be Stopped?

[NJCardFan]

I know everyone here hates them buy not for nothing, this team is on a mission. Ever since the week 11 loss to KC, they have simply been steamrolling teams. It may not show it on the score board but look at every game since their last loss:

Vs Us 19-3
@ SF 19-3
@ Philly 24-14
Vs SF 17-7
@ Us 35-6

That's 33 points in 5 games and those games haven't been that close. But IMO they are the best team in football right now and I really don't see anyone even putting a dent on them the rest of the way. Oh, incidentally, 4 of those 5 games are against what some consider Seattle's main competition for this division.

They showed it against us for sure. Like them or hate them, the Seahawks are the best team in the NFL and are peaking at the right time.

When they win next week, the road to the Super Bowl will go through Seattle. No one, not the Packers, Cowboys, Lions, or us have a chance in hell of beating them. And they will destroy anyone they face from the AFC, don't care who.

Patriots have a good chance against them, but only because I think Belichek is the best coach in the NFL and Brady is a stud. Would love to see Gronk vs the LOB.

Not quite sure they will get #1 seed. Dallas has the tie breaker over them.

It doesn't matter. There would be a 3 way tie between the Cowboys, Seahawks and the winner of Packers/Lions. The tie-breaker in that case would be conference record and Dallas loses out there.

I thought head to head is the first tiebreaker and Dallas beat Seattle.

If it's a 3 way tie, head-to-head only matters if all 3 teams played each other. Seattle and Dallas played but neither played Detroit or Green Bay. So the next tie breaker is conference record.

Week one , Seattle beat Green Bay .

Week one , Seattle beat Green Bay .

That's right. Still, the Cowboys didn't play GB so it doesn't matter.

Seattle looks great, but they are doing it against a bunch of teams in free fall.

Beat the Rams and the Seahawk have home field and the Cardinals lock into the 5th seed where they will go lose to Atlanta again.

So Seattle gets Atlanta and the survivor of Dal/Det/GB. The Packers suck on the road. Detroit has an abysmal record against winning teams on the road. Which leaves the surging Cowboys. Looks like a return trip to the Super Bowl for the Seahawks.

If we had a real QB last night's game might have been different.
I think we had 9-10 3 and outs. Their offense has the ball the entire game and our D just got a can of whoop!
We move the chains, keep our D fresh, might have been a better game in the 4th qtr.

Actually the difference in TOP was about 6 minutes.

I'm hoping it turns out to be Carolina, which is reasonable driving distance for me. If so, I'm considering going to that game.

Anyone else up for a road trip?

Go Cards!!!

Yep, if Seattle wasn't quite as good as they are and the Cardinals were a bit better, that might have been a good game. Who knows, if the Cards were a the better team, they may have even won?
