My wife is going to see Dallas and Washington's winner take all game (NFC East wise) with her family for her uncle's birthday, but the Flex scheduling moving it from a 1:00 afternoon game to an 8:30 prime time game is putting a crimp in the scheduling for them. Lot easier to see an afternoon game then a night game with work the next day

Yup, just saw that.

Also this....

"The Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings game will move to 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX. The Vikings also face a "win and in" scenario as a potential wild card team." -NFL.com
 
But seriously, how can you like Pete Carroll more than Jim Harbaugh? By no means, feel free to dislike the Harbaughs, but for Pete Carroll??

EDIT: Unless of course you are a Saints fan who has now 0-2 against the 49ers since Harbaugh showed up.

As for the game...Im not surprised by the result but that it was so one-sided. But the Seahawks are in the zone right now and are a crazy different team at home. It's the best home field advantage in the league.
 
Niners got a spanking. OUCH!

Playoffs will be interesting. The 49ers looked gassed tonight from the very beginning. Im not making excuses for them because it was such a shellacking, but I found it very noticeable. So the playoffs are coming...you have a weakened 49ers team (Justin Smith may not be back, Vernon Davis probably will, but I highly doubt we see any more of Mario Manningham), a Seahawks team that is magnificent at home, but tends to be mediocre on the road, a Washington team that doesn't score in butches but is really hard to play against, Minnesota (as of now) who has already beaten the Niners but probably the weakest in the group, an Atlanta team that I'm still not quite sure about (but another team that is on a different level at home), the Packers who are rolling...despite the semi-recent trouncing at the hands of the Giants. I mean....it'll be an interesting month.

:lol

Look, I'm no Carroll fan. I just dislike him less than Harbaugh, who really rubs me the wrong way somehow. Don't forget that for Saints fans, we have a reason to dislike both--Carroll knocked them out of the playoffs two years ago.

Harbaugh bugs me too. I think he's all ego. It's good when you're winning but it's Rex Ryan when you're losing.

That is true. When Lynch had arguably one of the greatest runs in NFL history. I like Jim Harbaugh for his positives, but there are definitely ways I wish he'd handle things differently. For instance, don't tell us you didn't try to replace Alex Smith with Peyton Manning. But from my friend who knew him when he was a QB on the Bears, he always tells me that he really just loves to **** with the media and make hem report on things.

He gave Alex Smith by far he's two best seasons and put him in minimal situations where Alex can screw it up. He tailored the entire offense to ensuring that and making Alex have to take as little chance as possible. He took the same team that Singletary couldn't get to .500 with and got them two Kyle Williams mistakes away from the Super Bowl.

I think he's more than all ego...though ego is def part of it.
 
NFC Playoff Scenarios

Seattle has clinched a playoff spot; San Francisco still leads the West: The Seahawks locked up one of the NFC”s two wild-card spots with their win over San Francisco. However, the 49ers need only to beat Arizona in Week 17 to clinch the NFC West. A Cardinals victory plus Seattle win over St. Louis would flip-flop the 49ers and Seahawks in the division.

Atlanta has clinched the No. 1 seed: The Falcons’ 31-18 victory over the Lions on Saturday night means that at least one team will have to win in Atlanta to prevent Matt Ryan’s crew from a Super Bowl trip. As things stand now, of those teams still alive in the playoff race, the only one the Falcons cannot play in their playoff opener — a divisional-round game on either Jan. 12 or 13 — is current No. 2 seed Green Bay.

Green Bay jumped San Francisco: Packers fans might contest that the Seahawks owed them one because of the infamous Hail Mary game from early this year, but Seattle definitely helped out Sunday night. With the Seahawks’ win over San Francisco, Green Bay now sits in second place in the NFC — a win over Minnesota would secure for the Packers a first-round bye.

San Francisco can finish no lower than third place. but now needs a win plus a Packers loss in Week 17 to reclaim second.

Washington will head into Week 17 in first place … but Dallas controls its destiny: By virtue of a seven-point win in Philadelphia, the Redskins moved to 9-6 and kept hold of first place in the division. If the Redskins beat the Cowboys next Sunday, Washington will claim the NFC East title.

The Cowboys have the same scenario, thanks to the Giants’ loss. If Dallas can come up with a road win over Washington next Sunday, then it would win the division.

About the Giants’ chances …: The defending NFC East and Super Bowl champions can no longer win the division. Just to get back to the postseason, the Giants need to beat Philadelphia in Week 17 and have the following happen: Minnesota loss, Chicago loss, Dallas loss.

Minnesota is still the No. 6 seed, and now controls its own destiny: Another team impacted by the Giants’ loss to Baltimore. Here, it plays to Minnesota’s benefit big-time. The 9-6 Vikings no longer can be knocked from the playoffs with a Week 17 win — beat Green Bay, and they are in.

The Vikings could still reach the postseason with a loss to the Packers, but Dallas, New York and Chicago all would have to lose next Sunday as well.

Chicago is Green Bay’s biggest fan: The NFL playoff race can make for weird alliances, and this is one. The Bears’ only hope for making the postseason is for Green Bay to win in Minnesota next week. That result would make the Bears’ visit to Detroit a do-or-die scenario.

The NFC East winner will be the No. 4 seed: Green Bay’s victory Sunday set the top three teams in this conference — Atlanta is the No. 1, with Green Bay and San Francisco in the next two slots, currently in that order. No matter which team takes the NFC East, that squad will be the No. 4 seed and more than likely, will face Seattle in the wild-card round.
