I'm confident that IF the Seattle Seahawks can beat the Giants, that all NFC roads to the Superbowl will have to pass through Quest Field in Seattle....
That said, its nice to be sitting on top of the NFC with an 8-2 record (it would be 9-1 if our kicker hadn't choked on a 42 yard FG attempt vs Redskins earlier this year)
1st ranked offense.(6 game win streak has been without our starting WR's, one of our starting WR came back recently, so we've been playing with bench on our passing game)
16th ranked defense.
The defense is still questionable with two key starters out (LB Jamie Sharper and SS Ken Hamlin)
NFL's record of most TD's scored in a season (27, Priest Holmes) could be in jepordy as Shawn Alexander has 19 TD's in 10 games. (He had 20 TD's in 16 games last year)

bengals are winning the superbowl so forget about it. Seahawks are good because of sean alexander. he can't keep it up. Bengals will be in detroit come feb...

record could easily be 7-3 if the Cowboys hadn't thrown it away at the end.

They didn't throw it away, a good cornerback read on the play forced the interception. (and the fact that it was a tie game is kinda important too, you would have had to win in OT, in this game, we won in regulation)

we could beat them, we would have to play offensively like we did sunday and defensly like we did every other game before sunday. and they would have to make some offensive mistakes. But we could do it. definetly going to be the bengals or the colts winning the superbowl...

I personally see Denver matching up with the Colts for the AFC Championship game. Cincy is my dark horse, but a distant one due to their playoff experience in recent years.
Good luck to you!

thank you :)
seattle is very underrated this year they too have a chance to win the superbowl. we will see what kind of hand they get in the playoffs. good luck to you too :aok

You probably didn't notice that we dominated 3 quarters of football, only to let them get back into the game, a ROAD game mind you. I wasn't worried about the outcome, however I am still suspect of our defense as we're missing 2 key players on defense, that showed yesterday.
But a win is a win. :)

Definately having a good year, no doubt. Problem will be the defense I think. Also, how will the offense produce when it comes up against a strong defense that can shut down/contain the run. If they can pass those 2 hurdles, might just go to the big dance.

You speaketh the truth. I'm just hoping for an NFC Championship game, I really don't think they have the defense to carry them all the way to the Superbowl, and as a 26 year fan, I'd be happy with just playoff win. :D

Giants are beatable deep and Manning is suceptable to disguised coverages.

Good luck. Giants are a tough team, but so is Dallas. Hopefully you won't have to watch bad officiating and 4 hours of football for the outcome...

NFL Ref head offical admits they made mistakes during the Seahawk/Giants game :mad: Why do they even come out and say they screwed up? Its not like the score is going to change...we're lucky we won as bad as that game was refluffied:
KIRKLAND, Wash. -- The Seahawks received rare word from the NFL that referee Larry Nemmers erred Sunday on the New York Giants' two touchdowns in Seattle's 24-21 overtime victory.
"I had a conversation with the league, and there were mistakes that were made, which we felt at the time," said Seattle coach Mike Holmgren, one of eight men on the NFL competition committee that oversees rules and game operations.
The NFL said touchdown catches made by Jeremy Shockey and Amani Toomer shouldn't have been ruled completions.
Coaches from around the league routinely submit disputed plays after games to NFL officiating chief Mike Pereira and his staff for review. They usually get a response midweek, though that response is usually never made public.
And, practically speaking, teams usually get nothing more than a "sorry" if the league agrees with a coach's contention, because results are not changed.
Sunday, with 1:14 left in the second quarter and the Seahawks leading 7-3, Shockey briefly caught a 7-yard pass from Eli Manning in the center of the end zone. Seattle safety Marquand Manuel then lowered his right shoulder into Shockey and forced the ball to the turf, though officials signaled a touchdown.
Jim Blackwood, the replay review official, buzzed Nemmers, an NFL game official for 21 years, and asked him to review the play to determine if Shockey had possession long enough to constitute a catch.
After a few moments, Nemmers emerged from under the hooded replay monitor beyond the sideline and declared Shockey did secure possession before losing the ball. The touchdown stood and the Giants took a 10-7 lead into halftime.
With 2:03 left in regulation, Toomer leaped high and caught another pass at the back of the end zone. Toomer got his left foot down inside the end line and then appeared to drag the toes of his right shoe into his left as it hit the turf.
At least that's what game officials concluded on the field -- and what Nemmers concluded after reviewing Holmgren's challenge to that call.
That score, and the Shockey's subsequent 2-point conversion catch, tied it at 21 with 1:59 left.
Holmgren said he was told by game officials there was not enough indisputable visual evidence to overturn either touchdown.
"Look, I get excited about it, just like any coach would, especially if you think it might cost you a ball game. But it's a tough job," Holmgren said. "Officials have a tough job. They are honest guys doing the best they can.
"You hope replay would help, if everything would function properly. And I would say 99 percent of the time it does, it works.
"And then there's a couple times for whatever reason, it doesn't work."
Replay rules state a play must be reviewed before the next play begins and that only a replay official -- and not a coach -- can call for a review during the last two minutes of a half or the entire overtime period.
In overtime Sunday, Holmgren called timeout to give the press box replay review official more time to summon Nemmers for a review of Shockey's 16-yard reception on which he again lost the ball after initially grabbing it. Nemmers ruled Shockey did not maintain possession long enough for a catch, reversing the on-field call.
Holmgren said he was surprised he had to spend a timeout to give the replay official more time.
"It's like, OK, we're playing the game and those guys are upstairs doing whatever they are doing," Holmgren said. "Now we get to within the final 2-minute area (of a half) or when they are on, and I'm thinking they should be concentrating.
"So that was a little bit scary there. That should have been done a little sooner, in my opinion."

Hehe, yeah, I'm whining, only because their kicker missed 3 FG's right when it counted the most and could have cost us that game...I guess Mojo got the best of the situation.
Why do the refs even bother saying this crap AFTER the fact, publicly?

to make people feel better?
you know it is worse to hurt a persons feelings than to punch them in the face nowadays. offending someone or a group is probably the worst thing anyone can do in the 21st century.

For some odd reason, I think that McMahon is going to carry the Eagles all the way back.
And then Andy Reid will put in McNabb and **** it all up again.
