Clueless in Moses Lake. They could flame out or win it all.
Every NFC team in the tournament is capable of advancing to the super bowl this year.
HumanCockroach wrote:Well I reckon it's a good thing they still play the games then. Anyone thinking a team playing well at the end of the regular season can't lose one during the playoffs to one playing poorly towards the end, seems to have missed an awful lot of postseason games and outcomes.
HumanCockroach wrote:Same statements as you made ( or close enough for government the year Seattle played NE in the SB). I honestly could care less either way on the whole "quitting before you even see what can ( and sometimes DOES happen)" that's for you and others to do Obi, not my bag. Since you've done it for as long as I can remember, statements like that are like water of a duck's back.

And I get Human, i really do, and maybe that is a valid point, but sometimes I think you miss the difference between hope and belief. I will always have hope, but belief that is a different drill. As a Hawks fan I will always hope. I hope we get the good stuff that Trump professed, but believe him that is a whole different kettle of fish

We lost 2 core players that affect all 3 phases and haven't yet found our running game.
There's always hope, but the situations are working against us this year.
Hawktawk wrote:Denver won last year with almost no offense. Obviously the shut down defense was a hug factor.
New England won a super bowl with so many injuries they had a receiver playing cornerback.
Giants last 2 titles came as a wild card playing every game on the road .
No excuses.
Seattle is the most experienced battle scarred and also most successful playoff team left in the NfC.
They can win it all.
They can lose Saturday too as they proved vs Arizona in a basically playoff game. They will have a tough time in Atlanta based on what I saw with a healthy Earl Thomas. If they get that I expect a home playoff game vs either Green Bay or New York. If they get to the biggest game they will win.
We shall see.

I asked Madden IF you were to start a FB team from scratch would you start on OL or DL? Without hesitation, he said OL. I said coach if you cant stop anybody they will run all over you, he replied if you cant block anybody your not going anywhere. All we have heard this year from Pete and in here is the OL is getting better, its not. IF the Packer game didn't showed that, then the Cards proved it to anyone but a mindless cheerleader.
Those magnificent men in their flying machines come crashing to the ground.
IF you really believe we can win then I would ask what is your evidence.

Been nothing but, the entire time. I'm not using faith, belief or magic pixie dust, and haven't at any point. I've used actual examples, history, and knowledge. You're the one citing those unmeasurables, not I.
Any team, currently in the playoffs have a shot, it's not a complicated procedure, or voodoo, it's happened quite commonly, isn't new, and ultimately, if I have to choose between random teams that "looked better and less injuries" over the grizzled playoff experienced team that hasn't looked as good, and more injuries, I'm riding with the veterans all day long, until there is no more road available.
You're welcome to continue to hem and haw, dismiss and put down, I've seen far too many examples of experience trumping youthful exuberance in my life to dismiss it out of hand.
