Seahawks as the 4 seed

[Macnalty]

The Seahawks just lost to the Cardinals. They don't scare me at all.

I agree without Earl Thomas they are very vulnerable.

This is what everyone is missing. We're not scare of anyone, but we can talk about our best and worst match ups. Here's my ordered list of NFC playoff teams, worst to best in terms of who I'd rather not play:

1. Green Bay
2. Atlanta
3 .Seattle
4. Washington
5. Detroit
6. Giants
7. Tampa Bay

At this point I think the most likely scenario is that we have to play Green Bay and then Atlanta. I'm fine with that. Beat the best to be the best.

Here's my NFC playoff guesses:

Giants at GB (GB)
Wash at Atl (Atl)

Atl at Seattle (Atl)
GB at Dallas (Dallas)

Atl at Dallas (Dallas)

How do you figure Seattle is going to have homefield over atlanta?

Seattle is weak and wounded right now. They are limping into the playoffs. Not scared of the falcons. I think our game of keep the ball away TOP will work against them if we face them which it looks like we just might in the nfc championship. Let the Giants and Packers eat each other up and shoot their load against each other. That should be fun.

Let the Giants and Packers eat each other up and shoot their load against each other.

Just wow.

 

[Oh_Canada]

People terrified of Seattle when they should be terrified of Dallas.

There's an old Yiddish addage that roughly translates as Man Plans, God Laughs.

The Cowboys have no control over who their opponent will be. What they have done is to position themselves as well as possible - a bye week, and all games prior to the Super Bowl at home. Not much more that can be done, and no reason to worry.

No one saw this team sitting at 12-2 at this point, and many of us had them being far worse. Enjoy the ride.

+1 for incorporating a Yiddish proverb into a CZ thread.

It's a GREAT proverb.

Seattle is the team we want. They're a mess.

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

Just wow.

 

[tyke1doe]

You can't always get what you want....

But if you try sometimes ...

 

[tyke1doe]

It's not about being scared of other teams it's what we perceive to be the optimum draw for Dallas to make the SB. It's a message board where this topic would be popular.

Translation: We're scared, but let us talk it out.

 

[pugilist]

If we can't beat any of the other NFC playoff teams we simply don't deserve to go to the big game. Simple as that. Bring on whoever

The way teams have played the past month, I'd rate them:

1. Falcons
2. Packers
3. Giants
4. Cowboys
5. Lions
6. Seahawks

 

[Setackin]

I prefer a 6 game win streak.....


That's just my opinion

After an 11 win streak a 6 should be easy lol

 

[WillieBeamen]

The way teams have played the past month, I'd rate them:

1. Falcons
2. Packers
3. Giants
4. Cowboys
5. Lions
6. Seahawks

So a team that has a 2-2 record, 8 turnovers and a -1 point differential is ranked ahead of the 12-2 Cowboys?


Wow, just wow

 

[TheHerd]

How do you figure Seattle is going to have homefield over atlanta?

I had the Saints upsetting Atl, but I'm with you that the more likely scenario is Seattle goes to 3 seed, Seattle beats Wash and Atl still beats Seattle.

In either case, we play Green Bay then Atlanta.

You can't always get what you want....

But you get what you neeeeed.....
