Wow, what a week of disappointments. Well, we did win 50-17, but only a few of the other games went the way we needed them too. I guess i cant be upset... Well anyway. Because of the non-sense going on in the NFC East, and the decent records of a couple of teams on the NFC North, this weeks games are extremely crucial. Our goal of course is winning out. Winning out and were guaranteed the 5th seed no matter what. We could technically lose 1 game and either take the 5th or 6th seed. Losing both games will make it really hard to grab the 6th seed, but its still possible. So with that being said, here is
WEEK 16 GAMES THAT MATTER. *These only cover games that can have an impact on Seahawks seeding.
SAINTS (6-8) vs COWBOYS (8-6)
LETS GO: SAINTS
WHY? Dallas is in a 3 way tie, record wise, with their division. They play Washington next week for what could very well be the nfc east division. Dropping a game to the Saints would make it impossible for them to beat us record wise and we hold a tie breaker over them. If they somehow won the division in 2 week because skins and giants lost out, then we are guaranteed an NFC East Team wont take a wildcard.
REDSKINS (8-6) vs EAGLES (4-10)
LETS GO: EAGLES
WHY? We currently hold a tie-breaker over Washington all the way down to common games. If we lose both games and redskins win one game only, they will hold the tie breaker as it returns to conference record. Washington winning out will guarantee them them division and will pose no threat against the wild card. They will also have removed Dallas from the wild card search.
TITANS (5-9) vs PACKERS (10-4)
LETS GO: PACKERS or TITANS
WHY? Let me explain before you get all crazy. With the remaining 2 games on the schedule for all the teams in contention for the 2nd and third seed, i was looking at what scenarios would land us in Lambeau and SF (things we dont want), and scenarios that would land us in Atlanta and any of the crappy NFC East sites. This was under the presumption that we dont take the division because AZ doesnt achieve a Christmas miracle because we all know thats what it would have to be. It came down to either GB being a threat in the Wildcard rounds, or a Threat in the Divisional round, or even in the NFC Game. Under all the different scenarios I played with, it seemed that we have an even chance of playing them at lambeau no matter what. However, I could not find an optimal conclusion to this. If GB takes the 2nd seed, we play SF in SF. If SF takes the 2nd Seed, we play GB in GB. I kinda want to play in SF instead of GB.
VIKINGS (8-6) vs TEXANS (12-2)
LETS GO: TEXANS
WHY? Vikings lose one more game, they cant remove us from our seeding.
BEARS (8-6) vs CARDINALS (5-9)
LETS GO: CARDINALS
WHY? Read above.
GIANTS (8-6) vs RAVENS (9-5)
LETS GO: RAVENS
WHY? Giants right now are on the outside looking in. However, they do hold an NFC tiebreaker over us. Them winning at all at this point is a negative for us and helps no one but themselves.
