RICK MIRER IS WORSE THAN SPURGEON WYNN
Yes, I said it.
THIS is why rooting for other teams to win to help YOUR TEAM out sucks major ass.
Brett Favre is just awesome. Is there any other way to put it?
Anyways, after watching this Packers-Raiders game tonight, I'm convinced there's no way the Broncos are beating the Packers in Lambeau Sunday.
So here's the playoff scenario from Seahawks.com:
IF GREEN BAY WINS MONDAY NIGHT:
Seattle can clinch playoff berth with:
1) SEA win + MIN loss or tie, OR
2) SEA win + GB loss or tie, OR
3) SEA win + DAL loss + SEA has better strength of victory than DAL, OR
4) SEA tie + MIN loss, OR
5) SEA tie + GB loss
#3 is the scenario to pay attention to.
Like David and the P-I's Clare Farnsworth noted, the Seahawks, Packers, and Cowboys could all finish 10-6, and the Seahawks would get the tiebreaker over the Packers and become the #5 seed over Dallas because of "strength of victory".
Seahawks
Opponents Record Remaining Opponents
St. Louis 12-3 @Detroit
New Orleans 7-8 Dallas
San Francisco 7-8 Seattle
Chicago 7-8 @Kansas City
Pittsburgh 6-9 @Baltimore
Detroit 4-11 St. Louis
Cleveland 4-11 @Cincinnati
Arizona 3-12 Minnesota
Arizona 3-12
Total 53-82 .393
Cowboys (@New Orleans 12/28)
Opponents Record Remaining Opponents
Philadelphia 11-4 @Washington
Carolina 10-5 @N.Y. Giants
N.Y. Jets 6-9 @Miami
Buffalo 6-9 @New England
Washington 5-10 Philadelphia
Washington 5-1
N.Y. Giants 4-11 Carolina
N.Y. Giants 4-11
Detroit 4-11 St. Louis
Arizona 3-12 Minnesota
Total 59-92 .387
So as of right now going into Week 17, the Seahawks strength of victory over the Cowboys is .393 to .387.
This is very complicated, and I can't even begin to comprehend what will happen this weekend.
BUT the Saints HAVE to beat the Cowboys. This would put Dallas at 10-6. Of course, the Seahawks have to win at San Francisco. However, the game to really pay attention to is the Pittsburgh-Baltimore Sunday Night game on ESPN. If the Steelers win, that helps the Seahawks (23-16 Nov. 2).
OR.........
While this is highly unlikely, Arizona could upset Minnesota down in Tempe. Remember, the Cardinals did defeat the Packers earlier this season at home, so anything's possible.
If MIN loses at ARIZONA, and Seattle wins Saturday, the Seahawks are 10-6, and the Vikings are 9-7. Seahawks would be in the playoffs over the Vikings.
Basically, this is a confusing deal.
I just want the Seahawks to play in the playoffs. Anything after that is a friggin bonus!
If only this team would have won on the damn road....ARGGGGGHHHHHH!
