haha, I want an argument. I think he will dominate, even though the redskins did beat them earlier this year.

the skins D is good and i doubt will let up 150 yards or anything, but shaun will get his and probably own the clock like 40-20

[TJ Wells]

I think this game is going to be WAY closer than anyone expects, although I still think Seattle will come out on top.

agreed. I think both NFC games are going to be the first team to 20 wins. As long as it stays low-scoring, the Skins will be in it.

[Brownpants06]

seattle is going to lose. watch.

[BuriedAlive]

I think the game will be closer then most think.

[somethingyellow]

thank you captain obvious

[The Don]

This game is going to be as close as the gap between Michael Strahan's two front teeth. Did anybody even watch the Skins-Bucs game? Hands down, that was the worst NFL playoff game I have ever watched. It was an embarrassment and shows you how piss-poor the NFC is this year. Congrats to both teams for making the playoffs, but if either was in an AFC division then we wouldn't have been subjected to such a crappy-excuse-for-a-football-game.

Although the 2005 Seahawks aren't anywhere near as good as the Eagles were last year, they are still a good team. The Seahawks will utterly dominate this game from start to finish because they are playing at home after a bye week against a slightly-above-average-team that won a game with only 120 total yards. I know, I know, the Ravens did it and still won the Super Bowl. Good for them. That's extremely rare and will not happen again for a long time (thankfully).

[weezer182]

lets just say if the seahawks lost i wouldnt be surprised..although i expect them to win

[unwritten]

Seattle has got this game locked.

[commatosa]

it's so lame that even after an 11 game winning streak, the best record in franchise history, most of their offense starting in the pro bowl, the #1 offense in the NFL WITHOUT their best receiver for most of the year, and their battered Defensive backs all returning....they still get no fucking respect! Get over yourselves. You wouldn't be surprised if they lost? You obviously know nothing about football. The eagles were better last year? Bullshit.

Bullshit. i didnt know the seahawks already won. like i said before do i think they will win yes. would i be surprised if they lost no. anything can happen in the playoffs. you obviously are bias towards seattle. i think its funny you assume they already won. fuck they already beat them this year why couldnt they do it again?

a WA native telling other people they dont know anything about football because they think Seattle will play a close game ..

honestly dude nobody is going to take your opinion seriously unless you show some respect.

AFC East, anyone?

haha go pats!

I want to see Carolina win the NFC, though I think Seattle will probably get the job done.

AAAAHAHAHA. C'mon man. This Seahawk team has improved, but not by much. They played probably the easiest schedule in the NFL, and the rest of the NFC just got a whole lot worse. How many teams with winning records did the Seahawks beat this year? Uh ... two. Dallas (who didn't even make the playoffs) and the Giants (which Seattle actually should have lost). That's why your team gets no respect.

I never said I wasn't biased towards the seahawks. I've been a die hard fan since I was born. Anywho, all the skepticism just kills me. We get zero respect out here....that's all.

We get zero respect out here....that's all.get no respect? there are a lot of people who have seattle going to the superbowl. im sorry that not everyone thinks this way. i can see why people are questioning them with the schedule they have played and past playoff experience. your not guaranteed a win in the playoffs

[Scott Weber]

By your logic of missed field goals, Seattle should have beaten Washington. So that's pointless.

[GAD_guy]

they wont. i picked the redskins. seattle is the most overrated team in the nfl's recent history.

[Scott Weber]

we'll see, won't we..

[commatosa]

they wont. i picked the redskins. seattle is the most overrated team in the nfl's recent history.

okay, I'm just going to knock on wood and post one final post about the seahawks cause I feel like I've talked them up too much.....so that being said, this game should be interesting. I have to work during the first half.....mother fucker. And yes, the seahawks had a very easy schedule, but they showed a lot of dominance. They traditionally choke in the first round of the playoffs but they've managed to get a bye during the first week of the playoffs this year. And with the Redskins flying across the country to play the best offense in the NFL in the place that they're undefeated this year, it's going to be exciting. I'm so effing psyched.....knock on wood.

[Drew Beringer]

I never said I wasn't biased towards the seahawks. I've been a die hard fan since I was born. Anywho, all the skepticism just kills me. We get zero respect out here....that's all.

14 out of the 24 people who participated the NFL playoff prediction thread chose Seattle to make the Super Bowl, so I think Seattle gets plenty of respect on this board.

[The Don]

By your logic of missed field goals, Seattle should have beaten Washington. So that's pointless.

My bad, let me restate ... How many teams with winning records did Seattle beat this year? Two, the Cowboys (who didn't even make the playoffs) and the Giants (I'll let Sunday's game against Carolina speak for how good the G-men are).

And if you want to chalk up the Washington-Seattle game as a "shoulda coulda" win for the Seahawks, then I won't stop you because the Skins don't even deserve to be in the playoffs.

[Scott Weber]

And what can the Seahawks do but play the schedule they were assinged? I understand the argument, but it's out of their hands, and it's getting really old. yes, it was easy.

[LeftWideOpen]

you seattle fans bitching about respect sound worse than tom brady.

[Scott Weber]

i think the whole seattle respect thing is retarded. commatosa, do you even read ESPN? If anything, Seattle is getting a whole lot more credit than they deserve. A lot of the media is saying Seattle will waltz through the NFC, and there's no way I agree with that. I think they can win the conference, but it's going to be very difficult, it's no cakewalk. Hasselbeck and Alexander have never won a playoff game.

agreed. they are a very good team ..but they arent dominant by any means. They are the favorite in the NFC and they should be ...there is no lack of respect towards Seattle.

im going to have to disagree with both of you.

maybe its cuz its the washington post, but tony kornheiser's column in the post yesterday pretty much spit on the seahawks.

Something's Brewing in Seattle, But It Ain't on the Football Field

By Tony Kornheiser

Monday, January 9, 2006; Page E02

What's Seattle got going for it anyway? It rains all the time there. Stay more than three days and mold begins to form on your feet. Either that, or Mount St. Helens spews all over you. (Which, I concede, may be better than Sean Taylor doing it.)

Excuse me, Tony, but Seattle is the home of Starbucks and Microsoft.

That's swell. Very manly item, a venti caramel macchiato. And how terrifying can anything with "soft" in its name be? Don't even talk to me about "Pearl Jam ."

Is Seattle a football town? Hardly. The Seahawks came into the NFL in 1976. That's 30 years. In all that time they've never made the Super Bowl, and only once made a conference championship game -- where they got crushed by the Raiders. They were so bad in the AFC, they got punted to the NFC a few years ago. Their entire history is about failing.

Here is their all-time playoff record: 3-7. That stinks. Here is the last time the Seahawks won a playoff game: 1984! Hahaha. (They're like the Boulez of the NFL.) You know who was the tight end on that team? Mike Tice. Think he ever took the team on a boat cruise of Puget Sound?

Go ahead, name a famous Seahawks coach, I dare you. Other than Steve Largent, who were their famous players? Jim Zorn? Dave Krieg? Yeah, like those two have Canton written all over them. So now they have Matt Hasselbeck. So what? Is his wife the hot chick on "The View"? No, that's his brother's wife. Tim. The one who played here!

The Redskins beat Seattle once already this season. They can do it again. Okay, Mark Brunell probably will need to get more than the 41 yards passing he got against Tampa Bay. (That's not a misprint, boys and girls, that's for the whole game.) That was horrible. My dog Maggie could have gotten more than 41 yards by the half. But you remember how the 49ers smelled like dinner? Here's the news unfiltered: The Seahawks smell like coffee. Grind 'em up.

haha ...tony is an idiot, but i love him. i don't think seattle is going to the super bowl (i like the bears) but they are the #1 seed and earned that with a 14-2 record. The Bears got to play 4 games against the Lions and Packers (which is just as bad as San Fransisco and Arizona), and the Giants and Bucs showed their true colors in the wild-card round.

[The Don]

And what can the Seahawks do but play the schedule they were assinged? I understand the argument, but it's out of their hands, and it's getting really old. yes, it was easy.

I understand. Even with an easy schedule, it takes a solid team to go 13-3. But whether the argument is old or not, it's the truth and people will keep using it until the Seahawks prove them wrong. I'm actually rooting for the Seahawks because if any other NFC team goes to the Super Bowl, then the NFC is an even bigger joke than most people believe.

[Scott Weber]

Haha, Tony is ridiculous. Seattle actually has really loyal football fans, whether the city has won or not. There was an intense rivalry with the Raiders for several years...I consider Chuck Knox to be a well-known coach...and ever since Holmgren came, the fans have been louder and more loyal than ever. Seattle IS a football town right now, especially since the 2 staples of success over the past decade (sonics 94-99) and Mariners (95-02) are playing like crap right now.

this guy should rename this article "hi, my name is tony and I don't do any research...here's some proof." it's nice how he conveniently forgot Brian Blades, Ricky Watters, Cortez Kennedy, and this year's team.
