Slumping is garbage. They played better than we did and we still won.
Lost to Dallas 30-23
Lost to Rams 28-26
Beat a terrible Carolina team 13-9
Beat a worse Oakland team 30-24
Beat a horrible Giants team 38-17
Lost to Kansas City 24-20
It was at this point when many were saying Seattle may not make the playoffs. There was locker room upheaval when Harvin was traded, Lynch was whining about it and not talking to his HC (still isn't), and rumors that Wilson lost the locker room because he wasn't "black enough".
Call it a slump or what ever you want. But everybody must acknowledge that they are playing a hell of a lot better now than in those 6 games.
And I'm not downgrading that win in Seattle at all. That's THE signature win of the season. That's the win that put this team on the map and has carried this team through to today. It's just that Seattle wasn't playing as they are today. If we play them again and Seattle is at it's best, it's unlikely we can beat them again, especially up there.
