With 2 wins were are assured HFA. or with 1 win and loses by NY, Det, and Seattle we wrap it up.
1 win takes our record to 12 wins. NY, Det, and Seattle must all win out to reach 12 wins.
What a difference a year makes!! Its so good to be thinking about HFA and not just hoping to squeak into the playoffs.

If we beat the Giants and Bucs and secure HFA with 2 games left, how will we treat those last 2 games? Do the starters play more than 50% of the snaps? I think it would be pretty funny if Sanchez could start against Philly and win.

Looking at seahawks schedule I would be surprised if they do not win out. GB next week I think is the best chance for a loss outside of that I think they win vs LA and Carolina who looks like they have quit for the season.

The game will be at GB and GB is in the hunt for a playoff spot now. On top of that, Seattle has seemed very beatable when they play on the road (losing Earl Thomas yesterday was big, too). IMO, all signs point to a GB win...I think Rogers will have a big game against them. Every team that gets into the playoffs will have strengths and weaknesses, and there will be those here who will be filled with fear and dread of the coming opponent, whoever they may be. As long as we win HFA, I don't care who we play. If we play at home, I like our chances!

I think the GB game is the best chance of them losing outside of that if they beat GB I would expect them to beat the cards and the panthers. But you never know in this league.

I certainly agree that if they can beat GB, they'll win their other games (they'll win their other games either way). I just think they lose to GB and finish 11-4-1. Am I rushing to Vegas to put my money down? Nope. I don't trust my opinion that much!:)

Plus no Earl Thomas

Which is huge for them considering they love to sit in Cover 3 which has a single high safety named Earl Thomas who covers a ridiculous amount of ground.

That is the worst player they could possibly lose on Defense.

I will be pulling for the Pack as well in this game. This is Seahawks last road game of the regular season and thus far they are 2-3-1 on the road. Pack need this game badly, should be a great contest.

The rams, for whatever reason, are a horrible matchup for the seahags. They've won 4 of the last 5 games. I wouldn't necessarily count that one in the W column for Seattle yet. And Arizona is no slouch when the good version of them shows up.
As long as we keep protecting our D with our run game, it should all fall into place.

Agree but Goff just looks afraid on the field and I can't imagine how much more afraid he will look against the Seahawks.

The Goff pick just made no sense.. They are a hard nose football team and they drafted a softy.

Goff was California's golden boy. Probably a season ticket marketing ploy on some level. But the kid has talent as well. Just never seemed like the right fit.

The Rams D though seems to always ruin Russel Wilson's day. And I hope they do again here soon.
