Strong possibility we're 7-2 after Thursday.
This has the makings of a magical season.

lulz have you guys magically figured out a way to beat the niners yet? i bet we could start little colt mccoy and still skullfuck you into oblivion. your only chance is the seachickens eliminating us before that, which will only happen if we have to play in seattle

I kind of think the Packers are due against the Niners, they're games have all been fairly close and it looks like GB has improved in the ways that should help them take the Niners. The Niners are legit, but I'm not convinced they have that magical hex on Green Bay like the Giants seem to have.
I'm not worried about Seattle at all, to be honest. Even if the Niners, Saints, or Packers had to go to Seattle to play them I think all three of those teams could come out winners (hell, Green Bay did).

More worried about Seattle than San Fran.
More worried about inevitable garbage WC team that catches fire than either of them.

more like the toilet
last page is more entertaining the most of today's games! thank god we have the cowboys!
I don't see why they can't beat the Saints. Can't really run the ball, they'll just pin their ears back and go.

Great marketing
You talking about the Seahawks beating the Saints or the Packers beating the Saints?
I'm just not sold on Seattle in general, I think the Saints just have too much offense. Even though I personally think Rodgers is a better QB than Brees, I don't like the Packers getting into shootouts just because I don't trust Green Bay's pass defense at all.

Past two matchups could have fooled me.
Packers lost last time they played in Seattle, friendo!
They were in the playoff game until a special teams fumble that completely swung the score around and killed all of Green Bay's momentum. The game this season was a six point game. The game from the start of last season was the only game where I thought San Fran really dominated.

Past 3 you mean. Packers can't run on us and don't have a defense that can stop a team that will commit to the run. Packers have looked healthy against bad teams. They've lost to the 2 good teams they've played: niners and bengals
Green Bay lost both of those games, on the road, by a combined 10 points. Lets not play make belief and think Green Bay is getting blown out by the good teams they're facing, unlike San Fran who got completely dismantled by the Seahawks and Colts.

Week one was a 6 point game with a patchwork defense and offensive line. At SF. Last year was last year, Capers didn't know quarterbacks were allowed to run back then.
No bravado: not scared of SF at all. I think I'd be more worried about playing the Lions in the playoffs.

You know what's sad? The New York Giants still have a chance to take their division. Going into this bye week, if they can make some adjustments and mentally buy into one big second half push, they have a chance. Eagles are a mess looking at starting Matt Barkley next week, Washington is unreliable, and the Cowboys are already preparing their descent for another second half disappointment -- hence Dez's emotional breakdown on the sideline this afternoon, because even he knows the script at this point. What a sad division.

THIS IS WHAT SEAHAWKS FANS ACTUALLY BELIEVE
You mean the NFL-E does what they do.
Unless you assuming they already got in, then yea, they so crazy shit
14 > 12 my friend, sorry if math works differently in Packerland.
Did the entire internet just imagine that game happening? Seemed pretty real at the time!
Meanwhile, the rest of the world acknowledges that Seattle only won that game because of scab refs.
I'm guessing Seattle never saw Golden Tate push someone 3 yards away on that play either.
You guys could have just knocked the ball down. Instead you tried to pad your stats with meaningless INTs and left it up to the refs.
Or you could have not given up 8 sacks in the first half. Or scored more than 12 points with that vaunted offense and all-everything QB of yours!
Eh, it is what it is. We both know what that is. Packers got a loss. Never should have been a position to give up an ending like that. But yea, thems the breaks.
Was mad for about 2-5min directly after it happened. Then I remembered how poor they played. Seemed like 7sacks given up to one dude.

They can. Assuming the New York Giants win their next two games, and the Cowboys slip up one of their games, Dallas would play New York the third week and could take the division lead.
New York plays Oakland and Green Bay, at home, after the bye.
Dallas host the Vikings and travels to New Orleans before playing New York.

Giants are the only team that can start this bad and I'd still wouldn't be surprised if they made it to the superbowl.
Why would yall even be mad about it still, that game indirectly screwed da bears out of the playoffs! We all won!
On another note :ugh, Monday night football tomorrow :-(
Didn't it keep the Bears out?
I can't even be mad at you now
Seattle straight up beat the Bears, so they had that tiebreaker anyway.

Not this time. They are legit terrible. They may squeak out a division win at 6-10 if Dallas just implodes, but they won't win anything. That pass rush isn't magically going to turn it on this year.

I'm just happy that blown call didn't end up affecting the playoffs at all.
Green Bay was out of a first round bye by one game though
I don't think New York will beat Green Bay, even in New York. But I can see Dallas choking away the division.
That's what I'm saying. Wasn't mad at all a few moments after the game and I could reflect.
Giants get to Super Bowl. Win on the back of SB MVP Peyton Hillis. Browns fans kill themselves. It all comes full circle.
That game didn't affect the Bears though. Even if Green Bay gets awarded the win from that game, the Seahawks and Bears would have finished the year with the same record. Seattle would have gotten into the playoffs anyway through tiebreaker since they beat the Bears.

So who do we all think is likeliest to take the last wild card spot in the NFC? San Francisco is probably a good lock for a WC spot unless they manage to beat Seattle later on. Do we all believe in Detroit enough?
No.
Even if Detroit squeezes in, I think they're a glorified bye week for a division winner.
My NFC playoff predictions are:
San Fran
New Orleans
Green Bay
Dallas
Seattle
Detroit
Detroits going to squeeze in simply because there's a huge dropoff in the NFC after Seattle if you ask me.

I believe in Fatt Stafford.
Can't imagine anyone else unless the Panthers get their shit together and go on a run.
