Seahawks Are Still For Real This Time

We are also in with just a few unexpected outcomes:
GB over MIN
ATL over WAS
AZ over SF (this might be expected)

and…
CHI over GB
NE over BUF
DEN over KC

Maybe not all of those.

If LAR & SEA both finisg at 10-7, we need combination of the following that pushes SEA to have a better “Strength of Victory:”
Wins by: DEN, AZ, ATL, MIA, CHI
Losses by: MIN, BUF, LV, NO, SF

I think those are the differences in our victories

Just wish we had won at least one of the three close games (including the Rams) we should have won this year. Interceptions killed us. We are good on the road so I believe we can beat LA in a meaningful game.

At least you don’t need a win by the Giants. So, there is still a chance.

How did we lose to the Giants at home? Trap game?

Tyrone Tracy had a 129 yd rushing in that game and some how it was only his 2nd best game of the season? Daniel Jones probably had his best game of the season (257, 2TD, no picks), that alone should be embarrassment enough. And then there was the game tying FG that got blocked and run back for a TD.

Apparently having a capable placekicker helps…

Has this ever happened in the same season:

Maybe their replacements will have the game of their lives in an effort to play more next season? Trying to find a silver liniing here. :grinning_face:

Cardinals just went for it on 4th down & failed… sigh.

Ugh…

Ugh again.

Do we need the Rams to lose or do we still have wildcard possibilities if they win?

I thought they should have taken the 3 points at the time as this could be a low-scoring game.

I don’t think you can catch Washington. Tampa can, but Seattle can’t based on conference record.

Ah, yes, we can tie their record but they’ll have the better conference record even if they lose out and we win out.

But if Rams win today and then we beat the Rams it goes to some crazy tie-breaker because we’d have the same head-to-head, division, and conference records.

But I think it was the right call to go for the 4th and 10 right now even though they failed.

That ending reminded me a bit of the 2015 Super Bowl ending. Cards had time for some running plays.

There is some other tiebreaker before Conference. “Strength of victory” which requires other teams losing.

Oh that’s before conference? I figured conference must be after head-to-head for teams in different divisions.

I definitely do not know all of the tie-breaker scenarios.

I looked it up the other day.
Google “NFL tiebreaker”

According to my Google search:

  1. head-to-head
  2. conference
  3. common games (I assume this means common opponents)
  4. strength of victory

So I think my earlier statement was correct.
