Eli should've did the dab dance last night.
If they were at home sure that's a really hard place to win but over the last 2+ seasons they have around handful wins in the road over teams with winning records and one of those is against AZ last year who was on their 3rd string qb. But if you trust a team that is maybe .500 on the road against winning teams ok.
Only Carolina has clinched a bye and no one has clinched home field advantage throughout. Pats have only clinched the division.Wow that game was surprising, got to give Miami credit, they gave it a good fight, that defense let them down in the end.
So I guess Pats get a bye. I guess the road goes through Foxoboro after all

You can say whatever you want about the Seahawks on the road but if I am Carolina or GB I don’t want any part of Seattle in the playoffs… even at home.
And where did they end up the last 2 years? Yeah, in the Super Bowl. Seahawks are not a team anyone wants to face in the playoffs.
Where did they play all of those playoff games last two years? Where are they not playing any playoff games this year (minus a miracle of AZ losing 3 straight and a lot of help from Dallas and Steelers winning and bengals losing)?

That was more of a joking post
But seriously.... the four year prophecy might come true again.
2007. 2011. 2015.
Hope it has a different outcome though if it comes to that. I trust a back to back NFC champion.
I think you are undervaluing the Seahawks. I dislike them, but you can not count them out. Russel Wilson has been the best QB since week 11. They are still top 3 in a lot of defensive categories. They are deadly right now. Especially with the way they handled the Vikings 38-7. Cardinals only beat them 23-20.
So your over valuing a win and a loss to the Cardinals, a Cardinals loss at home where they are MUCH better? Second that score isn't even close to being right. It was 39 -32.That was more of a joking post

Not yet, as mfoga noted. They can clinch a first-round bye on Sunday if (1) they win and Denver loses or (2) they win, Cincy loses, and Denver ties.
Bottom line is if the Seahawks get in, they are more than good enough to take out ANY team in the playoffs, even if you don't want to admit it. They are back to back NFC Champs with a lot of playoff experience. You're far to quick to dismiss them. Are you a 9ners fan? That would explain a lot.
Nope, if they were at home I would have a hard time picking against them but on the road there is years of data to show they aren't close to as good even if as you refuse to admit it.

LeGarrette Blount is reportedly going on IR along with Dom Easley. I'm a big proponent of the running backs that can't play in the passing game being largely fungible school of thought, and Blount wasn't great this year, but **** I do not want to test that theorem out in a playoff game with Brandon Bolden, feature back. I really wish they had brought Stevan Ridley back on a 1-year prove-it type deal. As for Easley, it's a tough break for a guy that looked like he was turning the corner.

2012 4-4 on road
2013 6-2 on road
2014 5-3 on road
2015 4-3 on road
Not stellar but not as bad as everyone likes to think. I don’t know if Seattle will win 3 on the road in the playoffs (it will be very tough) but to count them out entirely is not correct either.

I was saying the Seahawks beat the Vikings 38-7. Cardinals beat the Vikings 23-20. As of this very moment, Seattle might be the more dangerous team than Arizona based on the results of those games. I know Cardinals beat the Hawks, but both teams are different now.
I haven't heard he was placed on IR yet. Easley was. Blount was a big part of the team depending on the gameplan. I think it is a huge loss.
Yeah..... 19-12 on the road is a record most teams would take.
The problem is that doesn't take in account the bad teams they beat, of those 15 wins 1/3 of those are teams with winning records. They are around .500 against teams with winning records which is not impressive. They are a team that is really good at home and a not so great on the road especially against top teams.
So we should be be more worried about the Bills thanks the Pats? The Eagles barely beat the Bills and beat the Pats by 13?

I really don't think this is that huge a loss. The team is and will be a pass-first offense. We're talking about a guy who averaged 12 touches a game. The only game where Blount had more than 20 touches was against the Redskins.
I just look at that AFC championship game and how he carried the load and helped us go to the Super Bowl. I don't think a back on the roster that can do that again to be honest.
I refuse to accept that they are an easy out even on the road. Since becoming NFC Champs we have no data on how they'll play on the road in the playoffs. This isn't the 7-9 team that lost to the Bears in the playoffs. Not even close. Don't compare regular season road games with playoff games. They don't come close to being the same. Seahawks have a proven track record of winning in the playoffs the last few years. I'm not betting against them.
