Gonna be tough too as the Seahawks have a lot on the line, like 1st place in their division and a 2 seed in the NFC.
A loss for us, puts us one game in front of the Rams with 4 to go. We also fall a game and a half back from the packers.. and i think the conference tie breaker would go to them as well.
Not only that, but I think any chance at home field advantage in the playoffs is out of the question.
Man, I am nervous

Read on Twitter that a win tonight gives us a 40% chance to finish with a 1st round bye. A loss would put us under 9%. Enough said.

Add in MNF spotlight, Thielen is out... Doesn't feel like a win. But who knows, that's why they play the game. |

The reason you feel that way FLA is because it is. Sure, we will probably still make the playoffs if we lose. But any real chance at a super bowl hinges on winning this game. If we win, we could possibly run the table and get a first round bye. If we lose, I think we would even lose at Dallas in the Wildcard round. So yeah, huge game tonight.

Here is one optimistic take on the game. Living in the Pacific NW I get a lot of Seahawks info. They are having a really nice season, and Wilson is truly one of the best difference makers in the game. But this Hawks team isn't as good as some of the versions we've lost to over the years. The defense is good, not great. The offensive line is still suspect. And they don't have the weapons at receiver that many teams have. They have a great coach, great quarterback, good running backs, and good front 7. It's not like they are unbeatable at home, and you've seen evidence of that this season.

Both of their losses were home games for the Seahawks, by 6 to the Saints and by 14 to the Ravens.

I think if we want a good chance to make strides in the playoffs, we need to win the division, wildcard makes it too tough. If we lose today, we not only need beat the Packers, but also need them to lose to Detroit or Chicago to win the division. Not impossible, but it’s improbable to say the least.
Tonight is absolutely a big game

Well season isn’t over yet, but sure feels like it is. It isn't over if you have confidence in this team, including Kirk, going on the road against 3 good teams on national TV in the playoffs and winning all 3 tough road games in order to make it to the Superbowl. I'm sorry to say, but my confidence in them just isn't that high.... |

I'm sorry to say, but my confidence in them just isn't that high.... I agree. No way we win 3 straight road games against playoff caliber teams. I have concerns about 2 straight home games against playoff caliber teams. My confidence in tos team to win on a week to week basis is shaky as well. I could easily see is dropping 3 of our next 4 and missing the playoffs. Do I think we will? Probably not. But this team, is week to week with how good it plays. Any game could be a loss. Packers and bears have our number, lions are trotting out a back up QB which Zimmer’s d seems to struggle against these days. And chargers have rivers who is gonna carve up our secondary. |
