Hawks and niners both control their own destinies: win out, become overall 1 seed.

That was cool to see Lynch score like that.

haie

Who would have predicted that Seattle would turn into a perennial wildcard bitch?

Swear I saw 5 more super bowl rings and 3 more Superbowl losing endzone picks in store for this proud and storied franchise.

They're going to have to beat Green Bay, SF, then Baltimore/KC. It's over.

Imagine a Trail Blazers fan thinking the Seahawks season is over.

So dumb. He would be lucky to have 2 or 3 teams interested in him if he wanted to play this year. That’s nothing against him but he’s a 33 year old RB that isn’t going to sign for the minimum.

He signed with Seattle in week 16 because of injuries.

Still an awesome moment and great vid.

I took it as "I wouldn't go back and play for most teams but I do have unfinished business there".

Maybe I'm hearing what I want to hear.

That is what Lynch was saying, but the question was dumb as fuck and completely inaccurate.

Games missed is obviously only part of the story. Philly, in particular, would probably move up based on the importance of the players missing.

But yeah Seattle has been massively injuried and still keeps on ticking.

The only team in the NFC that I felt the Seahawks certainly couldn't beat was New Orleans who are now out

As the playoffs go along I expect the run game to improve, getting Duane brown back (along with iupati) would change the offense.

The path to make the Superbowl is there, the Seahawks have very little speed on defense but green bay in cold weather likely wont expose that. It'll come down to can they pressure Rodgers as I think the game comes down to the 4th quarter.

After that would likely face SF who is probably better than them but a team they played neck and neck both times. Who knows, maybe Minnesota pulls off an upset and they host.

If they were to get there, they need to hope somehow Baltimore gets knocked off. That is the other team that would certainly expose them. KC they could maybe beat in a shootout.

Russ's (only?) Achilles heel is rain and/or extreme cold.

It's going to be like 26 degrees Sunday.

I agree there's no team they can't beat but having to play in GB, at night, is probably going to be the end of them.

They can't win if Russell isn't damn near perfect.

He's bad in rain and wind.
Forecast is mid 20's with no rain, and little wind.
That is manageable

IMO the worst game he ever played was 26 degrees, 5 mph wind.

Not coincidentally in GB.

Fair point. That game was a part of a broader collapse though where he and the team did not play well against TB, GB, and then lost their bye against the cards at home (sounds familiar right) before getting smoked in Atlanta. I don't feel the weather was a huge factor.

I mean Russ had 1 TD 5 INTs that game, 9 TDs 3 INTS the rest of the regular season games from the TB game on.

That GB game was a massive, massive outlier. It's an outlier in his whole career.
