    If Green Bay wins the next 2 games...
    And Seattle wins next week, Seattle could host the NFC Championship game. That would be amusing.

    Is there anything wrong with the 7-9 Seahawks hosting the 11-5 Saints? The Saints lost by 5 points. If the game were played in New Orleans, the home field swing is worth about 6 points. Yes, maybe luck had an impact, but home teams are more luck-resistant. Forcing New Orleans to play on the road may increase the likelihood of them losing by 20% (if you accept a 6-point swing for homefield advantages).

    If the improbable continues to happen, Seattle might even finish the season with a winning record... IF they win 2 more playoff games, and the Super Bowl (if they lost the Super Bowl, they would finish at 10-10).

      I can't see Seattle winning on the road in the playoffs. I also didn't see Seattle beating the Saints so I guess anythings possible and we'll just have to see how everything plays out.

            Interesting scenario! I just don't think Seattle can go on the road and win at Chicago or Atlanta.

              Seattle's a very dangerous team, very very dangerous. They have nothing to lose.

                  Fortunately I was not one of those Saints ML backers. I'm also glad I didn't tease the Saints to even.

                    but they've already beaten the bears in chicago.

                        Hasselbeck is a solid QB, he did take his team to the superbowl and probably should have won.

                        Seahawks are a dangerous squad, dont underestimate them

                          I was fist pumping as I left the Saints game knowing that this was a slim possibility. Will it happen? Probably not but if it did I'd order tickets right away.

                            Falcons should crush the Seahawks but who knows, Seattle is unpredictable.

                              you cant usually give up 36 points and win in the playoffs...

                              I wouldn't count on that happening again...

                                  it would be a stretch but quite possible considering nfl's parity.

                                      As opposed to the other teams that have everything to lose? It's the playoffs, everyone has nothing to lose.

                                        Seattle has no expectations, if they lose no big deal. If Atlanta loses, they will be pissed

                                        Seattle really has nothing to lose

                                          Eagles and Falcons in Atlanta for the chance to go to the Superbowl, will be the hottest ticket in Atlanta since the 96 Olympics, the league can not pass up that type of money, that's a lock

                                              I was very impressed by Hasselback last night. I thought he was going to throw 3 INTs and lose the game for Seattle. He played well and took advantage of Jenkins being out for NOR. Lynch might have found himself a new home as well in Seattle.

                                                  Yes, I do not see it when it does not exist. Feel free to explain yourself instead of taking a shot at what I said without backing yourself up chief.
