Great point... You could tell their game plan was to take their DL pass rush out of the game... We focused on the run with short passes to get the ball out quick... RW threw the ball away quite a few times yesterday as well... Game plan was solid - just wish we would be better at adjustments throughout the game... If Logan catches that poor throw from Haskins at the end, we would've lost imo... 3 straight drives Haskins takes us right down the field at the end of the game, while our offense has (3) three and outs and then their 4th possession was an INT... I don't understand why we don't put teams away when we have leads like that...
I think GB has to lose both of their remaining games and we have to win both of our remaining games, plus NO has to lose at least one of their remaining games, and then we'd be the # seed. If we are in any scenario where our record is the same as NO or GB then both of those teams win the tie breakers based on conference record. So it's a long shot, but not impossible to get #1 seed. Both of GB's games are against decent teams (Chicago and Tennessee). It's not inconceivable they could lose both. It's doubtful but not impossible.
I don't believe that is correct, unless the ESPN playoff machine is wrong. I just went through the last 2 weeks of the season and we win the tiebreaker over GB & NO for the top seed if we all finish at 12-4 with the stipulations I listed.
Hmmm, you might be right. I'm going to go find a MIT professor to work the math on this and then have NASA double check the findings just to make sure the professor was correct. As a final failsafe I will send those results to any grade 2 math student living in China for final verification. These playoff scenarios can get a little complicated to figure out.
Haha yeah....that's why I like the ESPN Playoff Machine. You don't need to do any math -- just click winners and losers, and it figures out all that stuff for you.
I think it depends on what happens in the next 2 games. I honestly haven't done any research but just off the top of my head, I believe the Giants loss sets us 1 back in conference record. If Minny can beat the Aints and the Bears find a miracle vs GB and GB loses to the Titans ( very possible), the Hawks win out could get the #1 seed. Otherwise, I think GB only needs to win one game and they clinch it.
Yeah. I kept seeing people losing their footing and sliding all over the place. I was terrified that it was going to destroy yet another Seahawk's career (ask Chris Clemons how he feels about it or, of course, RG3).
