    Weird game

    Detroit's defense has been better than St. Louis's by every good metric you can use...defensive DVOA, ANFLS Efficiency, dGPF in the betting market, and the difference isn't a small one in any of these metrics.

    Falcons, Jets, and 49ers all interested in Quinn

    Well that was a drive-by. Gus did a great job of building our defense up to a really high level; he was very deserving of the opportunity he's gotten in Jacksonville.

    Do we lose Quinn? Cable? or both?

    Yep. He's got kind of a clown personality that bothers many, and that makes him look worse when his team is losing, but what Sarge said here about his team always playing hard for him is entirely true, and on top of that Rex is a great X's and O's guy on defense.

    Which Team Proposes The Biggest Challenge To Our RePETE?

    Don't spare us nerdiness; we need more nerdy conversation here. Seriously. For what it's worth, these are the percentages the betting market would assign to our likelihood of opponent in the divisional round: Carolina - 52% Detroit - 24% Arizona - 24% 7-point favorites win at a 76% clip...

    Why do people go crazy for the Seahawks?

    Dirty Donald Fine on RW The 1st?

    Right, I agree. I just think it's somewhat ambiguous and that people are interpreting it one way since it's a Ram where they would give the benefit of the doubt if it was a Seahawk. Maybe it was dirty, maybe it was an attempt to injure Russell, but that's not really what I see.

    Looks like we get the winner of Carolina/Arizona

    Dallas hasn't been great at home, and that Thanksgiving performance was indefensible, but one of their four losses came when they had to start Brandon Weeden, who honestly doesn't even have a place in the league as a backup. I think the struggles at home have become a bit overblown since we're...

    Dirty Donald Fine on RW The 1st?

    That doesn't look like much.

    Black Monday

    A team with a HC vacancy would do well to snap Rex up. With Harbaugh apparently going back to college ball, Rex is easily the one guy who was let go who should be able to get a head job again. Lots of rumblings of him going to TV instead though, which I could see; he'd probably be pretty good on...

    Which Team Proposes The Biggest Challenge To Our RePETE?

    I agree with this, which is the consolation I'll take if Detroit wins on Sunday. Them winning creates a tougher divisional round matchup, but might create a softer hypothetical NFCCG.

    Weird game

    Well for starters, Pete is playing him over another healthy player who I assume you're calling the #2 center (Jeanpierre), which functionally makes Lewis the second-string center... But besides that, what? That one starter being out is the reason that familiarity is a huge advantage for their...

    Sterling Sharpe (Hawk related)

    Dungy rated Brady above Manning by the silly sort-by-rings metric, so I don't think he's a total homer in his assessments. He is rather dim though.

    Biggest nemesis for Seahawks in the playoffs

    Ummm...how were they lucky? Total yards: Dallas 401, Seattle 206 Murray carried the ball a ton and kept up a good ypc average. Romo played a good, efficient game. The team that scored the most unsustainable type of touchdown in this game, a special teams TD, was Seattle, not Dallas. I don't...

    Weird game

    Reducing the sample size and going off of the most recent samples is not an especially effective measuring tool unless there is something about one defense or the other that is fundamentally different from what it was two months ago. If the personnel is largely the same, probably nothing much...

    Weird game

    Why is that familiarity more an advantage for their defense against us than it is for our offense against them? The familiarity thing cuts both ways.

    If the Hawks were to lose the NFCCG, who...

    I'd stab myself in the balls with a rusty fork before I'd root for the dirtiest team in football, the Detroit Lions. Screw those guys. Their fans are awful too. And to hell with this notion that it's somehow a desirable thing for a team that has never won to hopefully finally win one. There are...

    Weird game

    Detroit has a significantly better defense than St. Louis. But hopefully we won't see them anyway.

    Looks like we get the winner of Carolina/Arizona

    Yeah, the Panthers started the season 3-2. They did win four in a row to close things out. The only good team they beat along the way is Detroit all the way back in week two, but they could be at least something of a tough out. With that said, I still expect the Seahawks to be favored by double...
