Both the Hawks and the skins had a easy schedule difficuly. You guys had more impressive victories with wins agaisnt the 49ers and Patriots, but your team also lost 4 games agaisnt teams with records below .500. The Skins had two such losses, both agaisnt 7-9 teams (Rams were 7-8-1). You lost to a 5-11 team, and a 4-12 team. Those are facts.
Football Outsiders rank the Seahawks schedule as the 4th toughest in the NFL. The Redskins schedule was ranked 15th toughest. So neither one of the teams had an easy schedule, but the Seahawks definitely had a tougher road.
The Redskins winning streak included two wins over the Nick Foles Eagles, one over the Brandon Weeden Browns and two over the Tony Romo Cowboys. It leads to a bit of skepticism as to what level your team is truly at right now. Please do not count the Cowboys as a good team. There is a reason that every single Seahawk fan was rooting for the Cowboys to beat you guys in the finale. The 'Skins have game while the Cowboys have really become akin to a boy band for Jerry Jones. All pizazz and marketing...no talent, no substance.
The Seahawks defense had 4th quarter lapses against the Dolphins and Lions as those were the only two teams to score above their season average against the Seahawks. A playoff lapse is very unlikely. When the 49ers don't play the Seahawks they average what the Redskins average. Against the Seahawks they scored 13 points each time. Which is exactly what I predict for your Redskins.
