All three possible Divisional round opponents would be entertaining, It's Philly and Carolina that seem a little boring.
SEA VS SF Part III- SF can't win in SEA we have dominated them the last 2 times at home. I just don't think Kapernick has the composure to pull off an upset in our house. But....... they could beat us up and make it real tough on our guys the next week. On the other hand... I'd love nothing more than be the team to knock DouchBag Harbaugh and his whiners out of the playoffs. Entertainment “Hype” Value 10/10 –Likelihood of victory 6/10
SEA VS GB Revenge of the "Fail Mary"- GB fans would love to get revenge for last seasons so called "fail mary". I'd love to smack them around and put an end to the idea GB could actually win in our house. Their Defense is suspect and it would be nice to finally play a team with a weak defense. But..... A. Rodgers is dangerous and having Randle Cobb they could put up points very quickly. On the other hand... the risk is worth the reward to forever end the "fail mary" mumbo jumbo. Entertainment “Hype” Value 9/10 –Likelihood of victory 7/10
SEA VS NO Beastquake playoff rematch- We already dominated them once this year and seem to match up best ainst teams with weak defenses and soft front 7's. But....Drew Brees is an amazing QB and I doubt he puts up another stinker, he will come prepared and with some of the weapons NO has it's hard to imagine we can completely contain them for a 2nd straight. On the other hand... I think New Orleans would statistically be our most likely to win and anything we can up our odds on making it to the next round I'll take it. Entertainment “Hype” Value 7/10 –Likelihood of victory 8/10
Now on to the potential NFC Championship matchups
SEA VS CAR 2005 NFC Championship rematch- We've done it once we can do it again, knocking Carolina out on our way to the super bowl seems like just a few years ago. Of all the NFC playoff team I think Carolina has the lowest profile, I kind of feel like a SEA vs Car NFC Championship wouldn't draw that great of TV ratings and good old fashion tough defensive games are not always crowd pleasers either. I'm not looking forward to playing such a dominate defense, and keeping Wilson upright would be a challenge. I also don't like how Mr Cam Newton being the freak athlete can take over a game at any moment. But... Newton has never played in Seattle and I think he'd be in for a rude awakening. This could easily be a repeat of the dominating win in 05 or a battle to the last second like the last 2 times we played them. Entertainment “Hype” Value 6/10 –Likelihood of victory 7/10
SEA VS PHI USC Carrol vs OU Kelly or battle of 3rd rd QB Wilson vs Foles- Philly always chokes. But McCoy and D. Jackson are scary scary weapons I'm not looking forward playing against. I think Foles would get rattled but the crowd but not as bad as a guy like Newton. After seeing how Dallas played Philly so close I think they are not as good as I thought they were, but something tells me they are a team getting hot at the right time and have the offensive weapons and opportunistic defense to make a run. Entertainment “Hype” Value 6/10 - likelihood of victory 8/10
I voted GB because as much as I'd want to be the team to beat SF and really rub us dominating this division rivalry in their face I'll be just as happy to see them lose to GB and have the opportunity wipe that smug look off A.Rodgers face. Not that it is likely to happen but if we somehow lost to SF this whoel season would end up being one of the most sour tastes ever besides XL for me. even if it's only a 5% chance it could happen, and I'd rather not go toe to toe with the 2nd best team in the NFL before possibly facing another smashmouth team in Carolina.
