My guess is we see the Rams first

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Anything can happen in the play offs and I expect some upsets. Could also see the Bills go on a run in the AFC.

I’d much rather see the Packers than the Rams in two weeks. Having the Packers upset us at home wouldn’t cause me to go on an extreme violent rampage against small items in my household.

I'm not a betting man, but I had a buddy run a mock bet for me in a 3 game parlay money line (no point spread) with the Rams, Chicago, and the Eagles winning and one would net $119 per $100 wagered. So, for $100 - you could guarantee one of too outcomes - 1). win a $119 smack-a-roos 2). Not worry bout the rams until the NFC championship - seems a win win!

Playoffs are tough no matter who you get. Getting the Rams while we're rested and they just flew to Carolina's crappy field and back could be a blessing in disguise.

And let's not forget it very well could be raining for the game. Stafford isn't all that hot in inclement weather if memory serves.

I hope it dumps

It's gonna be really tough for a team to come here and win this month. I'm happy we were able to secure that sweet HFA. Happy for the city.

The 3rd Rams game will be a beat down of Stafford and crew. MMs defense is like the antagonists in the Matrix. You can beat them with something once, but then they adapt and make it difficult to repeat.

That, and Kubiak relying on the run game consistently will spell the end of the Rams.

Not only that but there is a pattern with Darnold when it came to the INTs.

1st Game against the Rams - 4 Picks
2nd Game against the Rams - 2 Picks
3rd Game against the Rams - ????

If the pattern continues, he may throw ZERO Picks in that game and this really will be a beatdown of the Rams.

Kind of like the Panthers upsetting the Rams...AGAIN?

Remember that the Panthers are a far different team at home than on the road.

An upset isn't out of the realm of possibiliity.

 

[pmedic920]

They definitely travel, it's impressive. Have always had good interactions with their fans. Totally different than a lot of other fanbases.

If we play the Packers EVERY 12 should be wearing one of these.

I never saw one until recently, but it’s the best response to the “cheese head” I can imagine

I actually LOLd

I'd rather play the Rams early than late, when they are beaten up after playing the Panthers and our guys are rested after the bye.

 

[SuperSonic67]

I’m excited for a stress free weekend of football lol…I’m shocked the Pack isn’t getting more love (no pun intended). I think they beat the Bears

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No doubt. Always more enjoyable when you get a week off and your team already did the work.

Couldn't agree more, I think the Pack takes that one. That all being said, I don't find myself nearly as worried about the Rams as many, and that's ok. I know they're a damn good team and a bad matchup. But.....Hawks should have swept them, and they're not exactly dominating.
Hawks are a better overall team and are absolutely playing better than the Clams.

Bring it on, this is playoffs. No room for fear. IF you're a contender for the Owl, you should be able to beat anyone. That's kind of how it works.

 

[pittpnthrs]

We'll be fine regardless of who we meet because Bobo is getting more playing time.

 

[Blazenhawks]

Y’all, we all know the NFL is rigged/scripted. The way that Thursday night game went between the Rams and the Hawks, there’s no way they want that to be a division game. This is obviously just speculation, and my gut is telling me this, but I think the Seahawks play the Packers in the divisional round, and the Rams beat the Eagles to play us in the NFC Championship. It’s all about ratings.

 

[soxhawk]

All these people "going out on a limb" to say the Packers upset the bears.... Is anyone actually bold enough to say Carolina upsets the Rams again? Philly @ Chicago + Carolina @ Seattle in 2 weeks lol. Thanks Coach Canales!

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No

 

[pmedic920]

eff me!

So many folks just know this or that is going to happen.

I hope the least likely scenario plays out, and teaches everyone the lesson we all already know, but generally won’t take into account.

“Any given Sunday”

Pundits don’t “know” she it, they write stuff to generate clicks and controversy.

I know this:
The Seahawks just need to play well enough to overcome whatever outcome Vegas/NFL is selling on that day.

 

[soxhawk]

Anything can happen. Just look at the beastquake game.

I concur - I do not trust the bears. At all.
